Book Synopsis The Casey Anthony Murder Trial by : Claudette Walker
Download or read book The Casey Anthony Murder Trial written by Claudette Walker and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive look at the law, media, judge, jury, defendant, lawyers, witnesses, and evidence, in this high profile murder trial. This is what most people never see: the events that occur during a murder trial. With all the elements of an American tragedy, complete with the elevation of the mother to celebrity status, Casey Anthony stood accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter. Caylee was last seen with her mother, and the toddler's disappearance went unreported for 31 days. A massive worldwide search ensued, before the discovery of Caylee's remains in a murky Florida swamp six months later. In the trial, both the lawyers and witnesses seemed to cross the lines between fact and fiction during this spectacle of horrors. The jury was selected from the authors hometown, Pinellas County, Florida. From jury selection to sentencing, this is a comprehensive interpretation of a first-degree murder trial and our American justice system, for good or bad. This is not a storybook, but the history of this trial, done in real time, including the observations and opinions of the two writers with legal explanations provided by the "house lawyer," a criminal defense attorney, as the trial was ongoing. This is a look at the American legal system, in action. The Casey Anthony Murder Trial is the most complete real time readable transcript known.

Book Synopsis The Abacus of Years by : Emily Grosholz
Download or read book The Abacus of Years written by Emily Grosholz and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2002 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two topics that seem largely unexplored by American poets of our time. One is the deep attachment parents (and perhaps most especially working parents) form for their infants and how they perceive their children (perhaps as Blake saw them) with all the wisdom of their innocence. The second is the relationship of science, mathematics and metaphysics to our everyday life. Here is a book that explores, and to some degree attempts to define, the writer's investigations in those two domains, one stemming from her experience as a mother, the other from her profession as a philosopher of science. And it is this juxtaposition of maternal emotion and detached, almost clinical, analysis that provides Grosholz's wonderful new collection with such grace and such power.
