Book Description
Jailing the Johnston Gang: Bringing Serial Murderers to Justice is the inside story of the dedicated law enforcement team that brought to justice serial murderers Norman, David, and Bruce A. Johnston Sr. For more than a decade the Johnston Gang terrorized communities throughout the East Coast of the United States by stealing millions of dollars worth of property. When gang members couldn't intimidate witnesses to their many crimes, they murdered them. Thomas Cloud, former Pennsylvania State Policeman and Johnston investigator: "The Johnston gang terrorized communities throughout the Eastern United States. Bruce Mowday's account, Jailing the Johnston Gang, is the amazing true story of those dedicated law enforcement officers who chose to stand up to them." David Richter, former FBI agent and Johnston investigator: "Jailing the Johnston Gang is a book that proves the good guys win and murderers go to jail even if they use witness intimidation. As award-winning reporter and author Bruce Mowday depicts, FBI agents and state troopers witnessed gang members committing crimes and testified. They couldn't be intimidated." William Lamb, former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice and Chester County District Attorney: "Bruce Mowday is a capable and experienced author who has captured the essence of the Johnston cases. These cases are certainly the most notorious murder cases in Chester County. Their complexity has been detailed ably by Mowday in his book and is a great read." Book jacket.

Mean Justice
Author: Edward Humes
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476711720
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
This national bestseller from the Pulitzer Prize-winner catapults readers to the dark side of the justice system with the powerful true story of one man's battle to prove his innocence. Besieged by murder, rape, and the vilest conspiracies, the all-American town of Bakersfield, California, found its saviors in a band of bold and savvy prosecutors who stepped in to create one of the toughest anti-crime communities in the nation. There was only one problem: many of those who were arrested, tried, and imprisoned were innocent citizens. In a work as taut and exciting as a suspense novel, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist Edward Humes embarks on a chilling journey to the dark side of the justice system. He reveals the powerful true story of retired high-school principal Pat Dunn's battle to prove his innocence, and how he was the victim of a case tainted by hidden witnesses, concealed evidence, and behind-the-scenes lobbying by powerful politicians. Humes demonstrates how the mean justice dispensed in Bakersfield is part of a growing national trend in which innocence has become the unintended casualty of today's war on crime.

Pickett's Charge
Author: Bruce E. Mowday
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781569805084
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pickett's Charge was an infantry assault ordered by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee against Maj. Gen. George G. Meade's Union position on July 3, 1863, the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Arguably an avoidable mistake from which the Southern war effort never fully recovered psychologically, much has been written as to why Lee had to make the charge, about his commander's reluctance to make the charge and about the Confederate soldiers that took part in the charge. In Pickett's Charge: The Untold Story, author Bruce Mowday explores the story of what the heroic Union soldiers, led by General Alexander Webb, had to endure during this assault by Southern forces, a story that deserves recognition and has been overshadowed for more than a century by books and articles on General Robert E. Lee's forces. The book contains images made public for the first time from the J. Howard Wert Gettysburg Collection(TM) and The American Heritage and History Virtual Museum.

Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
A popular teacher is brutally murdered, the community is gripped by the compelling story, her family devastated. Jennifer's Justice follows the case from the shocking discovery, through the investigation, arrest and eventual trial. From the police investigation, forensic evidence, suicide attempts, the death of a key witness and the judicial system gone temporarily awry, this true story has more twists and turns than most murder-mystery novels. Through her own grief and personal challenges, we follow the author's journey as she attempts to support Jennifer's family which is an extension of her own. It is a deeply personal account of how such a tragedy affected those who loved and cared for the victim. It is also a search for a lesson to be learned and shared so something good can come from the horrible crime that was committed. Jennifer's Justice is a testament to strength in family support and togetherness in the face of grief and despair. It is also a confirmation of the life of a wonderful, life-loving human being who left the earth with much unfinished.

Criminal Competency on Trial
Author: Mark C. Bardwell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Criminal Competency on Trial examines the legal standards by which one can stand trial, and the psychological instruments by which one's mental health status is assessed. Acknowledging that determinations of trial fitness represent the most significant mental health inquiry pursued in the system of criminal law today, this book carefully explains and thoroughly reviews the legal and psychological limits of competency to stand trial (CST). To highlight these limits, authors Bardwell and Arrigo systematically investigate the controversial and high profile case of Colin Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was identified as the New York City railway killer who, following a competency finding, elected to represent himself and was found guilty of all criminal charges. The text proposes a series of clear, practical, and concise justice policy reforms, designed to improve how the CST doctrine is understood and employed by lawyers, judges, psychologists, and other forensic mental health professionals. The book concludes by demonstrating where and how these policy recommendations would substantially change the application of the CST doctrine, especially in the case of Colin Ferguson and with other high stakes defendants, including that of Theodore Kaczynski (a.k.a. the una-bomber).
