Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Jon Robins Pdf

Whenever a miscarriage of justice hits the headlines, it is tempting to dismiss it as an anomaly – a minor hiccup in an otherwise healthy judicial system. Yet the cases of injustice that feature in this book reveal that they are not just minor hiccups, but symptoms of a chronic illness plaguing the British legal system. Massive underfunding, catastrophic failures in policing and shoddy legal representation have all contributed to a deepening crisis – one that the watchdog set up for the very purpose of investigating miscarriages of justice has done precious little to remedy. Indeed, little has changed since the 'bad old days' of the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six. Award winning journalist Jon Robins lifts the lid on Britain's legal scandals and exposes the disturbing complacency that has led to many innocent people being deemed guilty, either in the eyes of the law or in the court of public opinion.

Presumed Guilty by Martin D. Yant Pdf

The American judicial system is far too often a source of injustice for the innocent rather than justice for the guilty. Despite all the alleged protections built into the trial process, a person facing criminal charges is virtually presumed guilty until proven innocent - not the reverse. Presumed Guilty is about thousands of innocent Americans who each year are convicted of serious crimes they did not commit. Many are convicted of crimes that did not even occur. Journalist Martin Yant vividly and dramatically explains the process by which American justice is miscarried, providing carefully researched details about more than 100 wrongful convictions. Yant''s writing reveals both passion and frustration as he explains how most mistaken convictions could easily be avoided. "No criminal justice system is infallable," he writes, "but most errors aren''t the result of carefully considered decisions that happen to be wrong." He cites examples of outrageous carelessness, investigations that conform facts to predetermined theories, the use of long-discredited investigative techniques, rampant prejudice, and the desire of police and prosecutors to "win" convictions at any price - even if evidence is fabricated to do so. Yant goes on to propose achievable solutions that would not only prevent years of imprisonment for the wrongfully convicted but also save the lives of innocent individuals who face the increasingly used death penalty. Presumed Guilty reveals not only how often the American justice system goes awry, but how easily - and how quickly - it is possible to become its victim.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Ronald J. Eubanks,Dawn Lynn Anderson Pdf

A black man, a white woman, and twenty-five years. The unbelievable true story of Ronald Eubanks's life. A young boy from the streets of Dallas grows up to become a wrongly convicted sex offender. Do the decisions we make as we're younger delineate the outcome of our future? Perhaps, if he had gone to school and listened to his mother, he wouldn't have been in the position he was. Convicted guilty of rape, he was sentenced to over a decade in prison. Not to mention, walking around Dallas for ten years, classified as a registered sex offender. In America, we tend to make everything better: cars, houses, and so much more. Ironically, our justice system remains similar to a third world country. Could this chain of events be caused by his negligence, a crooked justice system, or pure racism?

As British ex-pats, author Penny White and her husband, Harry, had been living the Florida dream for several years until, through no fault of their own, they found themselves on the wrong side of the law. They suffered wrongful arrest and incarceration. If found guilty, they each faced a hundred and thirty years in prisona situation based on lies told by a former business partner and his aggressive attorney. In Guilty Till Proven Innocent, White shares the story of how, in a dramatic, TV-style raid on their Florida home by armed, masked police, their lives changed forever. White narrates their experience including spending time in jail and fighting the charges lobbied against them. This true story calls into question the American courts, and White asks for a further review into a justice system that fails to uphold the tenets of liberty, freedom, and justice for all, not just for those who can afford good, but expensive attorneys.

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.

False Accusations by Nik Greene Pdf

Moving the family from the UK to France was intended to bring a new and better life, and to give two newly adopted and troubled children a fresh start. One Monday morning, everything changed; the whole family would fall apart in the instant it took for one little girl to lie. The female detention judge looked at the author and spat the words, "You Monsieur Greene, are a paedophile and a pervert, and I have the authority to put you in prison for 20 years. I am going to make it my mission to do so." "In a country where it is presumed 'children don't lie, ' it took three years to fight the archaic, biased French system and clear my name by law, but clearing my name with the French people was another matter." In this true story, the author tells how sometimes "good intentions" are not always enough. "We have managed through our own strengths and that of our true friends to put it behind us, but I still, to this day, have nightmares of the time I spent in a jail more akin to Victorian England." He wrote this book to show how False Accusations affect not only the accuser and the accused, but everyone in between. About the Author: Nik Greene grew up on a farm in Norfolk, England. He moved his family to Limoges, France in 2004, and today lives between Pompadour, France, and Kent, England. He is now studying criminal psychology, and is working on a series of books about a private detective named Jack Thompson.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent by D. Corbett Everidge Pdf

Innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent? D. Corbett Everidge cannot vote, own a firearm, or hold public office: he is a convicted felon. But did he actually commit the crime? In this true-life legal drama, former magistrate D. Corbett Everidge chronicles the events of the summer of 2005 and the ensuing criminal trial that led to a felony conviction and the end of his criminal justice career. He then asks you to assess the evidence and make your own reasonable decision about whether he is, indeed, innocent or guilty as charged. Everidge gives personal insight into his career and background to illustrate that guilt in a complex society is not always a matter of black and white. He also challenges many beliefs regarding the modern criminal justice system in the United States, effectively drawing a line between the theoretical and the actual. Ultimately, Guilty Until Proven Innocent is an intriguing literary criminal trial in which you decide the outcome. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what is your verdict?

Taming the Presumption of Innocence by Richard L. Lippke Pdf

The notion that an individual accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty is one of the cornerstones of the American criminal justice system. However, the presumption of innocence creates a number of practical and theoretical issues, particularly regarding pre-trial and post-trial processes. In Taming the Presumption of Innocence, Richard L. Lippke argues that the presumption of innocence should be contained to the criminal trial. Beyond the realm of the trial, legal professionals, investigators, and the general public should carry out their respective roles in the criminal justice process without making any presumptions about guilt or innocence whatsoever. Rather than eschewing the significance of the presumption of innocence, the book defends its role within its proper context, the criminal trial. According to Lippke, other aspects of the criminal justice system such as investigation, lawmaking, and treatment of ex-offenders should be conducted in such a way that reflects the fallibility and unpredictability of the system without involving the issue of presumed guilt or innocence. Lippke dispels the idea that the presumption of innocence can be used to remedy some of the current issues in the practice of criminal justice, and instead proposes engaging in deeper, more substantive reforms of the American criminal justice system. The first monograph dedicated exclusively to the presumption of innocence, Taming the Presumption of Innocence will be an ideal text for students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and legal theory.
