Download or read book Reasonable Doubt written by Peter Manso and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2002, forty-six-year-old Christa Worthington was found stabbed to death in the kitchen of her Truro, Cape Cod, cottage, her curly-haired toddler clutching her body. A former Vassar girl and scion of a prominent local family, Christa had abandoned a glamorous career as a fashion writer for a simpler life on the Cape, where she had an affair with a married fisherman and had his child. After her murder, evidence pointed toward several local men who had known her. Yet in 2005, investigators arrested Christopher McCowen, a thirty-four-year-old African-American garbage collector with an IQ of 76. The local headlines screamed, “Black Trash Hauler Ruins Beautiful White Family” and “Black Murderer Apprehended in Fashion Writer Slaying,” while the sole evidence against McCowen was a DNA match showing that he’d had sex with Worthington prior to her murder. There were no fingerprints, no witnesses, and although the state medical examiner acknowledged there was no evidence of rape, the defendant was convicted after a five-week trial replete with conflicting testimony, accusations of crime scene contamination, and police misconduct—and was condemned to three lifetime sentences in prison with no parole. Rarely has a homicide trial been refracted so clearly through the prism of those who engineered it, and in Reasonable Doubt, bestselling author and biographer Peter Manso is determined to rectify what has become one of the most grossly unjust verdicts in modern trial history. In his riveting new book he bares the anatomy of a horrific murder—as well as the political corruption and racism that appear to be endemic in one of America’s most privileged playgrounds, Cape Cod. Exhaustively researched and vividly accessible, Reasonable Doubt is a no-holds-barred account of not only Christa Worthington’s murder but also of a botched investigation and a trial that was rife with bias. Manso dug deep into the case, and the results were explosive. The Cape DA indicted the author, threatening him with fifty years in prison. The trial and conviction of Christopher McCowen for rape and murder should worry American citizens, and should prompt us to truly examine the lip service we pay to the presumption of innocence . . . and to reasonable doubt. With this explosive and challenging book Manso does just that.

Surrounded by Thousands of square miles of cold, rough water, Cape Cod is regarded as New England's crown jewel---a seaside paradise of charming main streets and long stretches of beach lined with sand dunes. Yet, despite the popularity of this iconic landmass and its generous coastline, the world beneath the Cape's waters remains largely unexplored. In Under Cape Cod Waters, award-winning photojournalist Ethan Daniels captures the mystery and importance of the often overlooked natural communities along the Cape Cod coast. The Cape's near-shore waters are both diverse and productive, making these coastal ecosystems as dynamic and prodigious as any along the Atlantic shoreline. With the trained eye of a scientist and the sensibilities of an artist, Daniels photographs the amazing and resilient life forms that play such a vital role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of this cherished peninsula. The result is a stunning portrait of a world often only seen from the surface. In the hazy, dark waters, Daniels reveals the vivid rhythms in detail: the arresting orange of a sponge, the silvery flash of fish scales, the bright blue of a crab claw. With chapters devoted to each of the Cape's aquatic ecosystems---the salt marsh, the bay, the open ocean, and freshwater ponds---Daniels at once enlightens and educates us about the treasures hidden amidst this mesmerizing seascape. At the heart of this inspiring collection is a plea to be mindful of these local marine environments. As Mother Nature, climate change, and coastal development continue to sculpt this coast, Daniels urges those who know and love Cape Cod to take the necessary steps to preserve and protect the peninsula. Under Cape Cod Waters is an unforgettable voyage into the unknown depths of these familiar waters. As a New Englander and a native to many of the coastal habitats featured in this book, I was drawn to these wonderfully familiar yet surprising images. Rarely do you get a frog's or lobster's view of their watery world and a chance to see a timeless scape that has and will hopefully continue to thrive pristinely in these uncertain times. Most importantly, the images and text not only remind us of what we luckily possess, but what is at stake if we are not wise with the exploitation of our natural resources. Read this book and you'll see why I covet this precious place and call it home.---Jeff Corwin Ethan Daniels's photographs add a wonderful new dimension to my vision of the Cape Cod I thought I knew well. Ethan has a thoughtful, playful eye that gets us looking twice and then again. This collection shows us that the Cape's magic light infuses the world below the waves.---Cary Wolinsky Who knew such visual treats lie hidden beneath the waters of Cape Cod? Ethan Daniels's artful images provide a window into a world few of us get to see for ourselves and help us treasure the Cape even more. This is a beautiful collection of photographs.---Robert Caputo
