Download or read book Real Justice Guilty of Being Weird written by Cynthia J. Faryon and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At twenty-four, Guy Paul Morin was considered a bit strange. He still lived at home, drove his parents' car, kept bees in the backyard, and grew flowers to encourage the hives. He played the saxophone and clarinet in three bands and loved the swing music of the 1940s. In the small Ontario town where he lived, this meant Guy Paul stood out. So when the nine-year-old girl next door went missing, the police were convinced that Morin was responsible for the little girls murder. Over the course of eight years, police manipulated witnesses and tampered with evidence to target and convict an innocent man. It took ten years and the just-developed science of DNA testing to finally clear his name. This book tells his story, showing how the justice system not only failed to help an innocent young man, but conspired to convict him. It also shows how a determined group of people dug up the evidence and forced the judicial system to give him the justice he deserved. [Fry Reading Level - 5.0

Download or read book Boleslaw s Curse written by Paul F. Jopling and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So who suffers the greater agony, the cursed or the curser? Don't ask Boleslaw because he won't be able to tell you. There you have it, a most vexing quandary. Truth be told, if it hadn't been for the psychoanalyst who age-regressed Godfrey Christopher, a distraught divorce, to a traumatic childhood incident during one of his therapy sessions, the people and events that ultimately provoked Boleslaw's curse might never have been revealed. While in this hypnagogic state, Godfrey is confronted by a man he had met only recently and later realizes that the individual evoked by his subconscious mind appears not to have aged one iota in the intervening thirty years pursuant to the incident. While attempting to get to the bottom of the enigma he stumbles onto a conspiracy dedicated to avenging the victims of the Katyn massacre, a heinous atrocity committed decades earlier by the Soviets that claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives. Boleslaw's Curse is a novel that not only opens a window onto the Soviet KGB apparat and its infamous Spetzburo Department but also leads the reader across two continents as the brother and the son of one of the murdered victims pursue the principal perpetrators of the massacre. When they ultimately follow them to the United States the question becomes, will Godfrey Christopher's astute probing into the murders of the perpetrators combined with the work of the local police agencies there unmask these two determined assassins, or will the devious stratagems employed by their cadre of compatriotic supporters enable them to escape detection long enough for them to complete their mission of vengeance and return to their homeland? There is an additional quandary, how will the love triangle involving a captivating European woman, the ubiquitous Godfrey Christopher, and one of the assassins be resolved in that both Christopher and the assassin are equally well-liked in this novel and both seemingly driven by unassailable principles?"
