Claiming Innocence by JOANNE HARRIS. MICHELS Pdf

Claiming Innocence is like no other book you've ever read. Filled with vivid, memorable characters, it teems with high adventure in times of brutality and duress, offset by strong bonds of love and loyalty. Mark becomes highly adaptable, driven by revenge through times of extreme violence, life on the run, even taking refuge with a tribe of cannibals. Ultimately a feel-good read, this is a page-turner, written with precision, sensitivity, and care. About the Author JoAnne Harris Michels is the mother of eight children and twenty-seven grandchildren, and was named California Mother of the Year in 2015. She is involved in humanitarian projects at home and abroad, including Ayuda, which provides dental care in developing countries; The Globe Theater in London; and the Michels School for Special Needs Children in Kenya. She lectures locally for OUR (Operation Underground Railroad), which fights to combat human trafficking, specifically child sexual slavery. She lives with her husband Jerry (her consigliere) in Los Angeles, California, and is currently in the process of publishing her second book, "Sutras."

Convicting the Innocent by Brandon L. Garrett Pdf

On January 20, 1984, Earl Washington—defended for all of forty minutes by a lawyer who had never tried a death penalty case—was found guilty of rape and murder in the state of Virginia and sentenced to death. After nine years on death row, DNA testing cast doubt on his conviction and saved his life. However, he spent another eight years in prison before more sophisticated DNA technology proved his innocence and convicted the guilty man. DNA exonerations have shattered confidence in the criminal justice system by exposing how often we have convicted the innocent and let the guilty walk free. In this unsettling in-depth analysis, Brandon Garrett examines what went wrong in the cases of the first 250 wrongfully convicted people to be exonerated by DNA testing. Based on trial transcripts, Garrett’s investigation into the causes of wrongful convictions reveals larger patterns of incompetence, abuse, and error. Evidence corrupted by suggestive eyewitness procedures, coercive interrogations, unsound and unreliable forensics, shoddy investigative practices, cognitive bias, and poor lawyering illustrates the weaknesses built into our current criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence, and less on fallible human memory. Very few crimes committed in the United States involve biological evidence that can be tested using DNA. How many unjust convictions are there that we will never discover? Convicting the Innocent makes a powerful case for systemic reforms to improve the accuracy of all criminal cases.

Controversies in Innocence Cases in America by Sarah Lucy Cooper Pdf

Controversies in Innocence Cases in America brings together leading experts on the investigation, litigation, and scholarly analysis of innocence cases in America, from legal, political and ethical perspectives. The contributors, many of whom work on these cases daily, investigate contemporary issues presented by innocence cases and the exoneration movement as a whole. These issues include the challenges faced by the movement, causes of wrongful convictions, problems associated with investigating, proving, and defining 'innocence', and theories of reform. Each issue is placed within a multi-disciplinary perspective to provide cogent observations and recommendations for the effective handling of these cases, and for what changes should be adopted in order to improve the American criminal justice system when it is faced with its most harrowing sight: an innocent defendant.

American Justice in the Age of Innocence by Hillary K. Valderrama,Jenniffer L. Hopgood,Sandra Guerra Thompson Pdf

The exoneration of more than two hundred and fifty people who have been wrongfully convicted makes it clear that Americas criminal justice system isnt foolproof. Its important to understand the causes of wrongful conviction in order to find solutions to this growing problem. Edited by one of the nations leading legal scholars and two of her top students, this collection of essays examines critical issues, including what American justice in the age of innocence looks like; how to implement procedural mechanisms to ensure the integrity of the judicial system while safeguarding the public; whether or not the legal system is doing a good enough job uncovering wrongful convictions. This anthology provides insightful lessons based on cutting-edge research and legal analysis. Wrongful convictions are not a foregone conclusion, but the justice system must break free from a pattern of punishing innocent people and go after the true culprits. Written for judges, lawyers and scholars alike, American Justice in the Age of Innocence educates the public and helps current prisoners who are innocent contest their wrongful convictions.

You Have the Right to Remain Innocent by James J. Duane Pdf

An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police. Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police--especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it's also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids. Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

Claiming Her Innocence by Vivian Wood Pdf

A surly billionaire who had a soft spot for one woman. A gorgeous lady whose bright smile reminded him of sunshine. Years of bright burning embers that erupted into the flames of pure passion. In the lavish realm of a grumpy billionaire, Ryan held his most forbidden desire buried deep: an enduring crush on his closest friend, Poppy. The girl with a smile like sunshine that illuminated his world. Their bond was unbreakable, yet he always held her at arm’s length, viewing her as beyond his reach. He dreaded that crossing into romance might endanger the most precious friendship he cherished. If only Ryan didn’t find Poppy so captivating and flawless. She was beautiful and had curves that would make the devil fall to his knees. He defied his one rule and leaned in for a kiss... and she met him halfway. In an instant, their entire existence shifted irrevocably. Poppy wanted him to kiss her. She clutched his shirt and drew him in, desperately kissing him back. She seemed to need his touch. All his years of silent pining led to a tidal wave of ferocious hunger crashing down on her shores. They were soon carried away with their wild passion. And it didn’t stop at a one night stand. They both needed each other like they needed the next breath. At least, he thought they did. As they navigated this delicate new dynamic between them, a surge of possessiveness threatened to upend everything. The fear of losing her friendship loomed large... but he found himself unable to resist claiming her with a primal desire. Could he muster the courage to lay bare his true emotions and persuade her to take a leap with him, despite the forbidden nature of their bond? Or would uncertainty tether them both down, leaving them merely as friends, always yearning for something more? From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Vivian Wood comes a new billionaire best friend’s little sister romance. Fans of King of Wrath by Ana Huang, The Fine Print by Lauren Asher, and My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington and LJ Shen will love this book. keywords: wealthy, lavish, billionaire, empire, obscenely good looks, jealous, kiss, ruthless pursuit, good girl, mine, I’m falling for her, night of passion, rich, sexy, off limits, forbidden, best friend, carrying a torch, long-burning secret love

White Innocence by Gloria Wekker Pdf

In White Innocence Gloria Wekker explores a central paradox of Dutch culture: the passionate denial of racial discrimination and colonial violence coexisting alongside aggressive racism and xenophobia. Accessing a cultural archive built over 400 years of Dutch colonial rule, Wekker fundamentally challenges Dutch racial exceptionalism by undermining the dominant narrative of the Netherlands as a "gentle" and "ethical" nation. Wekker analyzes the Dutch media's portrayal of black women and men, the failure to grasp race in the Dutch academy, contemporary conservative politics (including gay politicians espousing anti-immigrant rhetoric), and the controversy surrounding the folkloric character Black Pete, showing how the denial of racism and the expression of innocence safeguards white privilege. Wekker uncovers the postcolonial legacy of race and its role in shaping the white Dutch self, presenting the contested, persistent legacy of racism in the country.
