The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley

True Crime Stories

UPDATED AND EXPANDEDOn a hot July night in 1995, Janet Downing was stabbed 98 times inside her Somerville, Massachusetts, home. Within hours, police identified 15-year-old Eddie O'Brien, the best friend of one of her sons, as the suspect.Eddie had no criminal history, no clear motive, and no apparent opportunity. Yet his case emerged during a national panic over juvenile "superpredators," when Massachusetts officials were pushing to prosecute more children as adults. His highly publicized trial helped change the state's juvenile laws.Attorney Margo Nash, appointed as Eddie's guardian ad litem, attended every court session and later gained access to the case files, forensic reports, and trial transcripts. Her conclusion was disturbing: Eddie could not have committed the murder.In this expanded second edition of The Politics of Murder, Nash goes deeper into newly unearthed evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, withheld exculpatory material, and manipulated forensic findings.Was Eddie O'Brien used to advance a political agenda? What will it take to overturn his wrongful conviction?

suspicion, advocates supporting the wrongfully accused, and professionals seeking to improve practice and policy. It highlights warning signs of flawed investigations, points to emerging scientific developments, and outlines constructive reforms that can save families-and systems-from repeating the same mistakes. CAN YOU PROVIDE A 250 WORD SHORT DESCRIPTIONShow moreInfant deaths are every parent's worst nightmare-and when grief is compounded by wrongful accusation, the result is a lifelong catastrophe. Infant Death Exonerations: The Folbigg Case - A Practical Guide for Families, Advocates and Professionals examines how misunderstandings of medical evidence, rare genetic conditions, and entrenched biases can turn tragedy into a criminal conviction. Centered on the Kathleen Folbigg case and linked to other infant death exonerations worldwide, it shows how shaken baby syndrome allegations, SIDS diagnoses, and ambiguous autopsy findings can be misread in court, and how emerging genetics and forensic science are changing the landscape.Written in clear, accessible language, the book explains how infant deaths are investigated, where evidence commonly goes wrong, and how tunnel vision, flawed expert testimony, and systemic failures can produce miscarriages of justice. It highlights warning signs of defective investigations, points to new medical and scientific developments, and outlines practical steps families, defence teams, innocence projects, and journalists can take when a baby's death is treated as a crime. Both a case study of the Folbigg exoneration and a broader roadmap for reform, this guide is essential reading for lawyers, doctors, forensic pathologists, child protection professionals, and anyone concerned about how the criminal justice system handles sudden infant deaths.

Melland Schill Perspectives on International Law

Why are constitutionalist ideals so prominent in science fiction? Does Independence Day depict self-defence as a legal concept with absolute limits? Is international law lost in space? This innovative interdisciplinary volume represents the first exploration of the relationship between international law and cinema. From Star Wars to Werner Herzog, The Godfather to The West Wing, this book uncovers a diverse range of representations of international law and its norms in film and television. Examining the wider links between international law, cinema and ideology, the contributions not only examine visual representations of international law, but they offer an essential insight into the functions fulfilled by these cinematic representations. Providing an extraordinary introduction to a variety of perspectives on core international legal questions, Cinematic perspectives on international law extends a valuable methodology by which international lawyers can critique the depiction of international law in film.

Cinematic Perspectives on International Law

This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on everyday life in premodern Korea through the lens of historical true crime. Based on nearly 500 homicide reports (검안, geom-an) preserved in the Kyujanggak Archives of Seoul National University, this book — a translation from its original Korean — uncovers the emotional, social, and legal landscapes of the late Joseon dynasty (1392–1910) by documenting how ordinary people — women, farmers, concubines, laborers — navigated violence, justice, and morality. Through vivid, real-life murder investigations, the book brings to life forgotten stories of jealousy, vengeance, betrayal, and grief, revealing not only crime and punishment, but the texture of everyday life in a deeply hierarchical and emotionally charged society. The narratives draw from legal testimonies, forensic reports, and confessions— sources rarely translated or analyzed in English — and restore humanity to those long excluded from official history. Bridging Korean historiography, global microhistory, and the narrative power of true crime, this book is both a pioneering academic resource and an accessible, emotionally resonant volume that will appeal to researchers in law and legal history, Korean history, criminology, gender studies, and sociology.Kim Ho

Key Ideas in Law

This book explores the law, philosophy, and wider implications of that brief but highly consequential moment when a judge imposes sentence on a convicted offender. Sentencing is one of the most contested aspects of contemporary criminal justice. It is an important field of study, both as an instance of coercive state power over the citizen and as the point at which the statutory purposes of punishment are given public expression. Focusing on England and Wales, with occasional comparative reference to sentencing practice around the world, topics include the legal and ethical implications of pleading guilty, the origin and development of sentencing guidelines, and the 'ordinary' language in which the sentence itself must be pronounced in open court. Tensions arise over the appropriate treatment of cohorts including the young, racialised, mentally disordered, and dangerous, and the disparate outcomes such treatment can generate. At a time of unprecedented crisis - from the phenomenon of 'sentence inflation' 50 years in the making, to the criminal court backlog, to an overcrowded prison estate - the book concludes with an appraisal and critique of the Sentencing Act 2026. The Act was pitched as a once-in-a-generation attempt at substantive justice reform, but its precise impact remains to be seen. Key Features · Offers an original account of a field in transition, equipping readers with a rich and robust evidence base · Reconciles classical theories of punishment with modern case law and sentencing practice · Comparative insights provide perspective and distance, enabling readers to form their own views on a complex field

Everything You Need to Know That Your Lawyer Won't Tell You - A Step¿by¿Step Guide to Surviving Jail and Prison from Arrest Through Appeals

Criminal Justice Through the Looking Glass

From the renowned founder of The Bail Project, an eye-opening book about why we allow money to play any role in the administration of justice "When bail is set unreasonably high, people are behind bars only because they are poor. . . . They don't have money to get out of jail and they certainly don't have money to flee anywhere." --Loretta Lynch, former United States Attorney General Every night in America, nearly half a million people go to sleep in jail cells without having been convicted of a crime. They are there for one reason: they cannot afford to pay the price of their freedom. That price is bail. For those with money, freedom is immediate. For those without it, weeks, months, or even years in jail can follow. Cash bail has created two systems of justice: one for people with wealth and one for people without. It undermines the presumption of innocence, drives overcrowding in jails, fuels racial disparities, and exerts enormous pressure on people to plead guilty, whether they committed a crime or not, simply so that they can go home. Few parts of our legal system are so deeply entrenched, so widely accepted, and so profoundly broken. In The Bail Trap, Robin Steinberg, founder of the Bail Project, and Camilo Ramirez bring readers inside the realities of pretrial detention through the true stories of people jailed by poverty. They explain how a centuries-old practice meant to ensure court appearance transformed into a powerful, profit-driven engine of detention, how cash bail falls hardest on vulnerable communities, and some of the steps we can take to create a fairer and safer pretrial system, reducing unnecessary incarceration and ending the use of money as a stand-in for public safety. An eye-opening, urgent, and accessible examination of a little-understood phenomenon, The Bail Trap invites readers not just to understand how we got here, but to imagine and help build a justice system where freedom and the presumption of innocence are not reserved for those who can afford them.

A Scandal at the Heart of American Justice

The Bail Trap

The idea of a world police has long been a myth born from humanity's yearning for order in times of chaos. When nations collapse into conflict and civilians cry out for help, the image of the United Nations Peacekeepers-those familiar blue helmets-often becomes a symbol of hope. Yet, that hope is frequently misunderstood. The United Nations is not a global police force. Its peacekeepers are not enforcers of law but facilitators of peace. This book, No World Police: United Nations' Role in Peacekeeping, seeks to illuminate that crucial distinction.

The Trials of Gabriel Ward

A WATERSTONES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR A LITERARY REVIEW CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR 'As brilliant a cosy crime novel as you'll ever read' JANICE HALLETT 'A masterful voice in the mystery world' S. J. BENNETT CHRISTMAS EVE, 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London's most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until the mummified hand arrives in the post... While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself. Someone is holding a grudge that has led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game's afoot.

A Case of Life and Limb

The Role of Apologies in the Law

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Senator Ted Cruz, a&nbsp;timely, authoritative exploration of Clarence Thomas’s life, ideas, and lasting impact on constitutional law For over three decades, Clarence Thomas has stood at the center of American law, enduring withering criticism and personal attacks while writing some of the most brilliant, accessible, transformational opinions in the Supreme Court’s history. His insistence that the Constitution, not merely judicial precedent, is the highest authority has reshaped American jurisprudence, and his lasting impact on the trajectory of constitutional law is undeniable. In this powerful and timely book, Senator Ted Cruz draws on his own Supreme Court clerkship, on his many years as a Supreme Court advocate, and on his now decades-long friendship with Justice Thomas to paint a portrait of one of the most consequential—and misunderstood—Americans in our nation’s history. Drawing on nine hours of exclusive, wide-ranging, and deeply personal one-on-one interviews with the Justice, Cruz reveals how Thomas’s most formative early experiences—like growing up in crushing poverty in segregated Georgia, his early encounters with extreme racism, and his brief stint in radical left-wing politics—forged a lifelong commitment to independence, self-reliance, and truth. From Thomas's early years studying to be a priest to his role today as the intellectual force behind some of the Court’s most significant decisions, Going Further traces the formation of one of our Constitution’s staunchest defenders and makes a rousing argument about why his life, his ideas, and his courage matter now more than ever.

The Incomparable Clarence Thomas

Going Further

The Frankfurt School in New Times

Longstanding debates about neoliberalism in the United States center around whether it has created a culture of entrepreneurial selfhood or a carceral state. Credit, Cops, and Cages presents a novel theory and relevant empirical evidence arguing that capitalist individualism combines both of these tendencies. The book's interdisciplinary authors first derive a critical framework and set of social-psychological hypotheses from the long-neglected criminological writings of the early Frankfurt School. They then test and explore these hypotheses with new data and analyses in a series of chapters that guide the reader down the ladder of capitalist individualism. In the process, the authors synthesize and critically examine scholarship of Constitutional law; big data on indebtedness, segregation, and police militarization; psychological surveys capturing and comparing attitudes and emotions around debt and policing; and the intimate testimony of those who are deeply in debt or are currently incarcerated. Unique in its combination of philosophy and social scientific research, this book restores the relevance of the Frankfurt School's ideas and methods to a comprehensive understanding of contemporary U.S. society.
