Trials Books

This is a wonderful account of a World War II pilot over in Western Europe during the war, the hurricanes and hardships of life before, during and after the depression. It was a good read. I happen to know the author of this book and she's an amazing woman, and I'm very proud of her and her accomplishments. :)

Here is an excellent book on an extraordinarily difficult subject: the reasons why God allows His children to suffer. The author tackles it thoroughly with courage. This book will enrich the reader's mind and soul. What a concept - to compile a list of forty-six reasons why a believer suffers! Yet this pastor lists, proves from the Bible, and explains them in a powerful way. This is a winner; a book to read again and again, and to share with others!

The book is in large, clear print as well, which makes it a joy to study.

Excellent and easy read for anyone interested in the Lincoln assassination characters!

How did the jury trial system get started?

Surprisingly as a trial attorney, even I didn't know the answer until reading this book. And it turns out the answer starts in ancient Babylon, detours to Mt. Sinai, stops briefly at ancient Athens, has a sojourn in the Roman Empire before finally wending its way through Christendom, the Roman Catholic Church and then ultimately to British common law.

In other words we have managed to inherit our legal traditions concerning the treatment of criminal defendants the same way that we've inherited our other traditions...through the accidents and mis steps of history itself.

And it also turns out that Sadikat Kadri, BOTH London barrister AND member of the New York state bar turns out to be an excellent guide making history about stories and interesting ones at that.

Through his eyes we watch as Socrates mounts his suicidal defense in ancient Athens. We're there when Marc Antony gives perhaps the pre eminent lawyer of all time, Cicero, the death sentence that others including Shakespeare later fantasize about giving all lawyers. We join him in marvelling at the unfilled promise of the Justinian law code, buried for ten centuries under the rubble of the dark ages. We see the first -- otherwise forgettable -- jury trial take place in 1220 England.

And then we watch the trial evolve from a presumption of guilt to one of innocence, a presumption against Defendants failing to talk to today's privilege against self incrimination, and into being basically the replacement for ancient "gladitor justice" where crowds could thrill at the bloodied hands of the victor to today where crowds watched to see if the bloodied glove actually fits.

Significantly, Kadri also shows us those other competing legal traditions that lack the right of juries...the cannonical law of the European continent wherein a judge alone inquisitorial rules on both the law and facts and the communist system wherein the "judge" is handed his rulings from higher authority.
Kadri shows us that while, for example the European continent was aflame with witch burnings, the jury sytem -- by its open and public nature -- actually helped put out the fires of witch hunt justice.

And indeed, those interested in further reading will quickly learn that trial attorneys, unless they know the judge, overwhelmingly prefer jury trials because juries have been shown to acquit twenty percent more often than judge tried cases without juries.

To be sure, in its long history and today, the jury system has made its errors.

Still the same, as inherited traditions go, our modern jury system remains the best tool against prosecutorial abuse and in that way...against tyranny itself.

A taut legal thriller that pits Woodie MacKenzie in a cat-and-mouse game against a truly dangerous adversary.

The Trial by Franz Kafka

This is a quality product. Very nice Kindle ebook.

"The Trial" puts the Executioner in a different battleground -- one where he's forced to use words as his weapons. I not only felt like I was there, I found my heart beating hard as the suspense built.

This novel rates as one of the best in the series because it is well-written and the plotline has a unique twist. It's not the usual Mack-saves-the-world-from-terrorists-&-madmen storyline, but more of an insight into the man and the legend that he created.

I also like the story because it features a rare visit with Mack's brother Johnny, which adds to the many surprises the storyline takes.

If you're never read an Executioner series novel before, this book would be a good introduction, since it gives you a lot of background on the Executioner. If you're a regular fan, you won't miss out on any gunfire and action, either, as there's enough to satisfy. Happy reading!
