Man condemned (524 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Desert Murders: How Junk Science, Witness Contamination, and Arizona Politics Condemned an Innocent Man reconstructs the case of Scott Lehr, a man sentenced to death in Arizona - despite abundant evidence of his innocence. In 1991-92, an epidemic of seven rapes in the desert outskirts of Phoenix mystified local law enforcement. Television and newspaper reports described the assaults against girls and women ranging in age from 10 to 47 as related, for the victims had all accepted rides from personable men, whom some of the women described as generally similar. The theory quickly evolved that one man - nicknamed the I-17 rapist or the baby-seat rapist - was guilty of all the attacks. When the bodies of Margaret Christorf, Michelle Morales, and Belinda Cronin were found in the desert over a six-month period, investigators assumed that the hypothetical serial rapist had committed those murders as well. Based primarily on a vague resemblance among the cars used in some of the assaults, detectives arrested 32-year-old Scott Lehr, a devoted father of three with no criminal history. Lehr was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to two death sentences and 982 years in prison - despite troubling flaws in the investigation and blatant falsehoods in the testimony against him. The Desert Murders analyzes the crime investigations and offers a front-row seat on the prosecution of Scott Lehr. Exhaustively researched from police reports, trial transcripts, correspondence, interviews, and news articles, the book provides information the juries that convicted him never knew, including inconsistent eyewitness testimony, false allegations by the prosecution, scanty, possibly tainted forensic evidence, and the fact that similar crimes continued to occur in the area after his incarceration. In addition to detailed coverage of the crimes and the trials, the book includes chapters on Lehr's interaction with Maricopa County's Sheriff Joe Arpaio and on the botched 1991 Temple Murders case, which helped set the stage for Lehr's prosecution. The Desert Murders puts a personal face on such issues as the inadequacy of representation for poor defendants, the workings of plea bargaining, attorneys' and judges' human failings, and the probability of error in death penalty trials. Anyone concerned with injustice and the politics of the death penalty will want to read it.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Victor-Marie Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests primarily on his poetic and dramatic output and only secondarily on his novels. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Legende des Siecles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the Englishspeaking world his best-known works are often the novels Les Miserables and Notre-Dame de Paris (translated into English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) (1899). Though extremely conservative in his youth, Hugo moved to the political left as the decades passed; he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, and his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Pantheon. Amongst his other works are: Napoleon the Little (1852), The Man Who Laughs (1869), The History of a Crime (1877), Poems (1888) and The Memoirs of Victor Hugo.…

Hardback. Condizione: Like New. This bombshell investigation from the co-author of Black Bird reveals a cold case gone wrong that cleared a murderer and imprisoned an innocent man. In March 1993, sixteen-year-old Rayna Rison was abducted outside the La Porte, Indiana, veterinary hospital where she worked. A month later, her body was found submerged under tree limbs in a rural pond. Police targeted her brother-in-law, Ray McCarty, as the prime suspect. Although a grand jury indicted him for the murder in 1998, prosecutors later dropped the charges. Then in 2013, county officers arrested Jason Tibbs, Rayna's middle-school boyfriend, convicted him, and sentenced him to forty years in prison. After a two-year investigation, drawing on dozens of interviews and more than a thousand pages of police files, author Hillel Levin completes the case against McCarty, following clues and leads that detectives overlooked. In the process, he reveals startling new information about the killer's murder weapon and accomplices, and uncovers the politics and misconduct that enabled the prosecutor to convict Jason Tibbs. Although cold cases are celebrated in popular culture, Jason's trial shows the perils they can pose for innocent defendants. At the heart of Submerged is the tragic story of Rayna Rison, an exceptional young woman with a promising future whose family and justice system failed to keep her from harm. Ironically, the person now held accountable for her murder is the friend she most saw as her protector.…
