Book excerpt: The 70,000 square miles of the Oklahoma Indian Territory, The Nations, as it was called, was a land of vicious and evil deeds by cruel and heartless outlaws as well as renegade Indians. Mace Truax was the U.S. Marshal for Judge Isaac Parker's court for the U.S. Western District of Arkansas in Ft. Smith. The Judge was allotted 200 Deputy Marshals, but less than half that number was on the job when Parker took the bench. Together the Marshal and the Judge had to bring justice and peace to this land - using the gavel and the gun. Mace had to find hard but honest men to take on the badge, and the Judge had to try cases of horse theft, robbery, fraud, rape, and murder. It was an ongoing tale of the fight for law and order in the American West.

Book excerpt: The most lawless land in the American West was the 70,000 square miles of frontier Western Arkansas and the Indian Territory of the Five Civilized Tribes; what later would become Oklahoma. Rape, robbery, murder, horse theft, gun and whiskey running were the everyday crimes that often went unpunished. It took both the gavel and the gun --- and hangman¿s knot to tame this land. The Territory was a magnet to outlaws and spoilers of every brand. Law, order, and justice didn¿t come until almost ten years after the Civil War. Law and order finally came in the form of ¿the Hanging Judge,¿ Isaac Parker, a new U.S. Marshal, Mace Truax, and a Choctaw Indian Territorial Policeman named John Browneagle.

"Angels" then enter his life and those of his family, allowing them to become meaningful citizens in the United States.

Download or read book The Celluloid Courtroom written by Ross D. Levi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genre of legal cinema is an extensive and revealing one: it is a body of films that depicts lawyers, clients, criminals, judges, and juries, often not as they actually are, but as we would like them to be. The idealized courtroom of many legal movies tells us a great deal about what we think of our justice system and what we want it to reflect about America, but the films in the genre vary widely in how they do this. From To Kill a Mockingbird to Liar, Liar, from A Time to Kill to Twelve Angry Men, we see certain stereotypes repeating themselves again and again: the judge as stern referee, the jury as an ultimately fair body of decisionmakers, the lawyer as hardworking and passionate fighter for the underdog. In this new and comprehensive study of this understudied category of film, author Ross D. Levi argues that, contrary to popular belief, legal movies show us a system that is far more fair than our actual one, with corruption downplayed and greed made subordinate to compassion and compromise. With a comprehensive filmography, penetrating analysis—both cinematic and legal—and engaging discussion of a wide array of movies, The Celluloid Courtroom is an indispensable guide to a key aspect of American movies and American justice.

With a comprehensive filmography, penetrating analysis—both legal and cinematic—and engaging and enlightening discussion, The Celluloid Courtroom is an indispensable guide to a key aspect of American movies and American justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ingenious thriller of murder, revenge, and mystery in remote wilderness, by the acclaimed author of The Firefly and Hunting Season When two lowlifes rob a gas station, murder the attendant, and then incinerate bystanders who are filling up their minivan, the Manceford County, North Carolina, police quickly arrest the killers at a nearby motel. But a stubborn judge throws out the case because the suspects were not read their rights, leaving Sheriff Bobby Lee Baggett and Lieutenant Cam Richter to face the anger of the victims' families. Soon thereafter, a mysterious e-mail arrives in the department: a link to a video of one of the murderers being executed in a homemade electric chair, ending with a voice announcing, "That's one." The shocking video spreads throughout the Internet, drawing the attention of local, state, and federal authorities and national media, and putting intense pressure on Bobby Lee and Cam to find the vigilante before he claims his second victim. Assigned to head the search, Cam finds himself resented by some of his fellow officers and subtly threatened by others. His job is further complicated by the fact that the offending judge is also his ex-wife and now---after years apart, and an uneasy reconciliation---his sometime lover. Cam's questions lead him to a remote mountain area in western North Carolina and a group of daredevils who call themselves "the cat dancers"---so named because they have tracked the last wild mountain lions in the region to their dens, where they have photographed the animals face-to-face, or died trying. Cam must hunt this group and the cats they seek, or become their next target.
Download or read book Massacre At Going Snake written by Jack R. Stanley and published by Wrightbridge Press. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oklahoma Indian Territory, known as The Nations, was a place of four laws - the unwritten laws of nature, the moral laws of man, the laws of the Indian tribes settled there, and the US federal law. The last was administered through the "hanging judge's" court in Ft. Smith. The Five Civilized Tribes had their own courts, Indian Police, and judges within their allotted districts. To cover the whole 70,000 squares, Judge Isaac Parker had US Marshal Mace Truax and his band of Deputy Marshals. They confronted the renegades of all tribes, the whites, the blacks, the Mexicans - the outlaws, rapists, murderers, whiskey runners, and spoilers of any stripe. Some offenses straddled both tribal law and US law. Such a case led to the Massacre at Going Snake.
