Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is the culmination of many years of research on what happened to the bodies of executed criminals in the past. Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it looks at the consequences of the 1752 Murder Act. These criminal bodies had a crucial role in the history of medicine, and the history of crime, and great symbolic resonance in literature and popular culture. Starting with a consideration of the criminal corpse in the medieval and early modern periods, chapters go on to review the histories of criminal justice, of medical history and of gibbeting under the Murder Act, and ends with some discussion of the afterlives of the corpse, in literature, folklore and in contemporary medical ethics. Using sophisticated insights from cultural history, archaeology, literature, philosophy and ethics as well as medical and crime history, this book is a uniquely interdisciplinary take on a fascinating historical phenomenon.

Book excerpt: Do psychic powers really exist? Martin Lane asks himself the same questions as he is forced to employ the services of a psychic to help solve the disappearances of three young women. Despite his skepticism, he is surprised by the leads the psychic, Damien Rossiter, is able to give him and his assistant, Detective Pedro Gonzalez, who have had no luck in cracking the cases. Shortly after soliciting Rossiter's help, the bodies of two of the young women are discovered. Martin's suspicions are turned in many directions, directions he cannot and does not want to believe. All indications are that the killer could even come from within the ranks of his own department Contrary to what seems to be the inevitable, he manages to unearth the true identity of the killer through old-fashioned police work and a little tom-foolery, surprising everyone around him, not least of all the killer. Visions of Murder is a mystery that delves into the recesses of psychic abilities. Damien Rossiter, the psychic employed by the Harris City Police Department has a proven record of being able to assist the authorities, he was successful in New Mexico. Now, in southern Texas, he helps Chief of Detectives Martin Lane and the ever-present, chain-smoking Detective Sergeant Pedro Gonzalez home in on the killer. Martin Lane has been "forced" into employing the psychics services by his boss and adversary, Tom Wilkins, a man who has been after Lane's job for some time. As the investigation into the disappearances and murders continue, young girls continue to disappear at an alarming rate. Forensics from the first two crime scenes pick up some vital information. A DNA match is made, and the answer is one that Martin cannot and does not believe. Unfortunately, further clues turn up that continue to point to the same person, yet despite evidence to the contrary, Martin believes that there is something a little suspicious about it all. It all seems just a little too convenient to him. Almost resigning himself to the fact that he has a killer in his own department, he suddenly figures out that the identity of the true killer can be proven, with a little bit of luck. Martin's supportive wife Amy, who continuously is pressuring him to take early retirement and work in her flower business, is exasperated by her husbands preoccupation with the case. Finally, Martin manages to extract the evidence he needs to crack the case and, with a lot of help from his friends at the crime lab, is able to positively identify the killer, surprising everyone.

Download or read book The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins written by Brenda Stevenson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helicopters patrolled low over the city, filming blocks of burning cars and buildings, mobs breaking into storefronts, and the vicious beating of truck driver Reginald Denny. For a week in April 1992, Los Angeles transformed into a cityscape of rage, purportedly due to the exoneration of four policemen who had beaten Rodney King. It should be no surprise that such intense anger erupted from something deeper than a single incident. In The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins, Brenda Stevenson tells the dramatic story of an earlier trial, a turning point on the road to the 1992 riot. On March 16, 1991, fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins, an African American who lived locally, entered the Empire Liquor Market at 9172 South Figueroa Street in South Central Los Angeles. Behind the counter was a Korean woman named Soon Ja Du. Latasha walked to the refrigerator cases in the back, took a bottle of orange juice, put it in her backpack, and approached the cash register with two dollar bills in her hand-the price of the juice. Moments later she was face-down on the floor with a bullet hole in the back of her head, shot dead by Du. Joyce Karlin, a Jewish Superior Court judge appointed by Republican Governor Pete Wilson, presided over the resulting manslaughter trial. A jury convicted Du, but Karlin sentenced her only to probation, community service, and a $500 fine. The author meticulously reconstructs these events and their aftermath, showing how they set the stage for the explosion in 1992. An accomplished historian at UCLA, Stevenson explores the lives of each of these three women-Harlins, Du, and Karlin-and their very different worlds in rich detail. Through the three women, she not only reveals the human reality and social repercussions of this triangular collision, she also provides a deep history of immigration, ethnicity, and gender in modern America. Massively researched, deftly written, The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins will reshape our understanding of race, ethnicity, gender, and-above all-justice in modern America.
