Sixteen months later, Jason Cochran died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving Kelly.

Book excerpt: Murdering humans is a huge no-no and comes with an off-with-your-head sentence. Doesn't matter if you don't remember doing the crime. I killed a human, and no, it wasn't on purpose, but that shit doesn't matter to the council. I'm facing death. So, when I'm offered a deal to avoid execution, I'd be a fool not to take it, even if it means leaving the human world and urban life behind to enroll in the Nightwatch Academy - a gothic monstrosity hidden from human eyes, located way too close to the largest tear in the fabric of our reality. It would be fun if I had any inclination of becoming a member of the Watch or supporting the shadow knights at keeping the Formorian threat at bay. But heck, the monsters beyond the mist aren't my problem. I have personal demons to deal with. Once I'm out, the Watch can shove it. But one sip from the ceremonial goblet and my plans to coast are out of the window as my powers spark to life. I'm an anomaly, one the Watch won't be letting walk any time soon. My only comfort is a man who prides himself on his ability to harness pain. Battle scarred and formidable, he's my tutor, my mentor, and the object of some super saucy dreams. He's completely off limits and my only hope of surviving my first test. I'll need to harness my powers fast. There can be no distractions. But when my fellow cadets start going missing then returning with no memory of who they used to be and my best friend is taken, turning a blind eye is no longer an option. Allies are limited when you're a freak. Luckily, I don't need a cheer squad to get shit done. Whoever is responsible better watch out. I'm coming for them, and I'll be bringing the pain.

Download or read book Lie Detection and the Law written by Andrew Balmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a sociological account of lie detection practices and uses this to think about lying more generally. Bringing together insights from sociology, social history, socio-legal studies and science and technology studies (STS), it explores how torture and technology have been used to try to discern the truth. It examines a variety of socio-legal practices, including trial by ordeal in Europe, the American criminal jury trial, police interrogations using the polygraph machine, and the post-conviction management of sex offenders in the USA and the UK. Moving across these different contexts, it articulates how uncertainties in the use of lie detection technologies are managed, and the complex roles they play in legal spaces. Alongside this story, the book surveys some of the different ways in which lying is understood in philosophy, law and social order. Lie Detection and the Law will be of interest to STS researchers, socio-legal scholars, criminologists and sociologists, as well as others working at the intersections of law and science.
