Book excerpt: The end is coming. Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him - but it's going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the King of the Northmen still stands firm, and there's only one man who can stop him. His oldest friend, and his oldest enemy. It's past time for the Bloody-Nine to come home. With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war. A secret struggle in which no-one is safe, and no-one can be trusted. His days with a sword are far behind him. It's a good thing blackmail, threats and torture still work well enough. Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is far too painful, and turned his back on soldiering for a simple life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too, and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on a man when he least expects it. While the King of the Union lies on his deathbead, the peasants revolt and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No-one believes that the shadow of war is falling across the very heart of the Union. The First of the Magi has a plan to save the world, as he always does. But there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, after all, than to break the First Law...

Book excerpt: On August 29, 1974, Mac and Muff Graham, sailors from San Diego, were brutally murdered by Buck Walker and Stephanie Stearns on the island of Palmyra, located approximately 970 nautical miles south of Hawaii. Prior to making the voyage, Muff was haunted by premonitions that the trip would end with their deaths. Unable to convince her husband that a terrible fate awaited them, against her better judgment, she reluctantly accompanied him. Arriving at the island, with death close at hand, warned by other wary sailors, Mac, seemingly secure with his firearms, refused to leave his island “paradise” despite Muff's tears and entreaties. In 1981 the remains of Muff were discovered on Palmyra Island by passing sailors. Walker and Stearns, in separate trials, were tried for her murder. After two weeks of trial, Walker was found guilty, the jury deliberating less than three hours. A month later, Stearns, defended by well known trial lawyers Vincent Bugliosi and Leonard Weinglass were acquitted. There were several factors that greatly assisted Bugliosi in obtaining his victory. Judge, Samuel King, erroneously, weighed in heavily on behalf of Stearns throughout the trial. He granted a change of venue shifting her trial from Hawaii to San Francisco. King permitted Bugliosi to amend the complaint to allege a charge of first degree murder against Stearns and later, granted his motion to dismiss the murder charge against Stearns based on the Felony/Murder rule. He permitted Bugliosi to introduce impermissible character evidence greatly favoring Stearns and prohibited Enoki from impeaching the testimony of these witnesses. Another consideration that greatly favored Stearns was Enoki's ineffective prosecution. Enoki was not up to the challenge and was totally overwhelmed by the aggressive defense put forward by Bugliosi. Enoki never understood Stearn's role in the planning and murders of the Grahams, nor did he support his witnesses when under attack by Bugliosi. To add to the confusion, neither the prosecution nor the defense understood sailing, or the sea. The above factors, along with many others set forth, when combined with the onslaught of Stearns lies and machinations, left the jury awash in confusion and misdirection; thus accounting for the erroneous verdict. FINAL ARGUMENT sets the record straight, exposing the many lies Stearns issued in pursuit of a not guilty verdict. It corrects many inaccurate quotes from the court reporter's original trial transcript and reveals how Bugliosi won a seemingly hopeless case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Bruce Crane, and to see one's world turned upside down, in a very short time, is enough to bring anyone to their knees. Where do I start to describe how it all happened? I guess I should start in the courtroom, where this particular trial took place. Following the witnesses' testimony, the prosecutor asked each of defendants the same question: "Will you take the mark?" The defendants' response will move the scales of justice and determine for each of them their fate. But more than that, it caused a few houses to be divided against themselves. For it goes beyond this courtroom; it will affect everyday life. Then the prosecuting attorney said, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury--" ***** Come and read as I tell you about these events and beyond. This is not a once-upon-a-time story. It is a compelling, edge-of-your-seat, roller-coaster ride. Hang on! In The Final Argument, it will become clear!

Download or read book And the Sea Will Tell written by Vincent Bugliosi and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Grips you by the throat from beginning to end."—Cleveland Plain Dealer ALONE WITH HER NEW HUSBAND on a tiny Pacific atoll, a young woman, combing the beach, finds an odd aluminum container washed up out of the lagoon, and beside it on the sand something glitters: a gold tooth in a scorched human skull. The investigation that follows uncovers an extraordinarily complex and puzzling true-crime story. Only Vincent Bugliosi, who recounted his successful prosecution of mass murderer Charles Manson in the bestseller Helter Skelter, was able to draw together the hundreds of conflicting details of the mystery and reconstruct what really happened when four people found hell in a tropical paradise. And the Sea Will Tell reconstructs the events and subsequent trial of a riveting true murder mystery, and probes into the dark heart of a serpentine scenario of death.

Book excerpt: The arrest, trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1951 mesmerised an America coming to grips with the early Cold War and the anxiety aroused by the Soviet Union's testing of the atomic bomb. However, in 1965, Walter Schneir famously presented evidence that the Rosenbergs were innocent and had been framed by the FBI - a case which was brought into question in 1995 when the FBI released 3000 Soviet intelligence documents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In An Argument Open to All, renowned legal scholar Sanford Levinson takes a novel approach to what is perhaps America’s most famous political tract. Rather than concern himself with the authors as historical figures, or how The Federalist helps us understand the original intent of the framers of the Constitution, Levinson examines each essay for the political wisdom it can offer us today. In eighty-five short essays, each keyed to a different essay in The Federalist, he considers such questions as whether present generations can rethink their constitutional arrangements; how much effort we should exert to preserve America’s traditional culture; and whether The Federalist’s arguments even suggest the desirability of world government.
