A Convicted Stock Manipulators Guide to Investing

Marino Specogna

AuthorHouse, 2003

Surprised, bought 10 copies to hand out as presents
I have been an active investor in junior mineral exploration companies for over 30 years. I actually bought this book in the spring of 2003 and was so taken aback by it, that I bought an extra 10 copies to hand out as christmas presents to friends who invest/speculate. Many of the disclosures in this book helped me understand better some of the losses I had experienced in the market over the ...

Convicted Survivors (Suny Series in Women, Crime, and Criminology)

5 reviews
Elizabeth, Dermody Leonard

State University of New York Press, 2002

The Best of the Best!
Elizabeth Leonard scored big with this book. The book approached the subject in an appropriate manner and will leave readers in anticipation for change. The narratives from actual California inmates really grabs your attention and makes you feel as if you want to reach out and touch these women. It has been long overdue for someone to bring the truth to light about spousal abuse and really ...

Michael Pardue

CreateSpace, 2005

An Oasis of Hope
If you're reading this, you probably have a loved one or friend who's been wrongly convicted. This book provides some hope, and some specific things you can do -- and that the incarcerated can do -- to move towards their release. The problem of wrongful convictions is the tragedy about which no one cares -- until it happens to them or someone they love.

Convicted in the Womb

Carl Upchurch

Bantam, 1997

The Womb is Sacred
"Convicted in the Womb" is a deeply captivating too true autobiography that reads like the first half of the life of an untold number of African-American men in the last half century. The detailed descriptive analysis of the terms and concepts Niggerization, DeNiggerization, and AntiNiggerization is not only long overdue to the public, but gives voice and creedence to particularly those men who ...

Surviving Justice: America's Wrongfully Convicted and Exonerated

7 reviews

McSweeney's, 2005

Surviving Justice
Once this book is started, it is nearly impossible to put it down. It is a "must" read for everyone who lives in the USA. Technically it is an easy read, but emotionally it is a roller coaster as we track people who were wrongfully incarcerated, some for many years, to the time that they were exonerated. As a person who is closely associated with the criminal justice system, I recommend that ...

Wrongly Convicted: Perspectives on Failed Justice

3 reviews
Saundra D. Westervelt

Rutgers University Press, 2001

Superb book, a must-read tour de force
This is a simply-superb collection of essays/articles on the topic of what can lead to the criminal conviction, and even execution, of suspects who turn out to be, in fact, innocent of the crime they were arrested for. The points made and facts shown in this book should be part of a mandatory curriculum in high school, especially in view of the media onslaught of incorrect ideas of the criminal ...

Petain: How the Hero of France Became a Convicted Traitor and Changed the Course of History

7 reviews
Charles Williams

Palgrave Macmillan, 2005

Fallen Hero?
This is a fine book, and, frankly, its brevity is a major strength. I really did not want to read a whole lot more about Marshall Petain than a few hundred pages. Williams has crafted a concise and workmanlike account of the man who rose to the height of France's status structure after World War I but who would soon fall to its nadir within twenty-five-years. Petain was, in equal turn, both a ...

Run, Bambi, Run: The Beautiful Ex-Cop and Convicted Murderer Who Escaped to Freedom and Won America's Heart

1 review
Kris Radish

Carol Publishing Corporation, 1992

Flat
True crime accounts might be one of the last guilty pleasures of the literary world, now that erotica has come out of brown paper wrappers and entered the mainstream. In a genre frequently laden with numerous factual details,it takes a skilled writer to weave all the necessary elements into a vivid and absorbing storyline. This book, while apparently well researched, falls short of that mark. In ...

Journey Toward Justice

15 reviews
Dennis Fritz

Seven Locks Press, 2006

Prosecutor Gone Wild
Dennis Fritz's book is very insightful. He deserves much credit for not letting the prosecutor ruin his life. One character in his book is named Dennis Smith. He worked for the OSBI and contributed to the wrongful conviction of Williamson and Fritz. In the book, Dennis Smith, the corrupt cop, could just as likely be the DA of Custer County, Oklahoma. Is Dennis Smith really dead? The ...

Paul J. Ciolino

iUniverse, Inc., 2005

very informative
I was impressed with Mr. Ciolino and his skill in his field. I think every lawyer , detective and activist (against or for) capital punishment should read this book. I thought it would be a boring read because of the content,but it was actually humorous in parts, and always honest and direct. Qualities that are rare.

Will Leitch

Harper, 2008

A Primer on a Notorious Blogger
Will Leitch recently gained national fame through an appearance on (Bob) Costas Now and a failed debate on sports blogging with the boorish Buzz Bissinger. And for fans who want a big helping of what Leitch delivers in the cyber-universe, this is a great venue. But where reading Leitch online - and in smaller doses - can be compelling, sidesplitting, or just plain fun, the style fails to ...

A Sword for the Convicted: Representing Indigent Defendants on Appeal (Contributions in Criminology and ...
David T. Wasserman

Greenwood Press, 1990

Using New York City as a research model, this study explores the organizational, tactical, and ethical challenges of providing zealous advocacy for every convicted indigent wishing to appeal. David Wasserman, a former staff attorney with New York's Legal Aid Society, examines the unique form of representation that has emerged since the Supreme Court recognized the right to free appellate counsel, and details the conflict between the role of ...

Presumed Guilty: When Innocent People Are Wrongly Convicted

2 reviews
Martin Yant

Prometheus Books, 1991

Invaluable critique of American criminal "justice."
We tend to a caste system in the U.S. There are those accused of "crime" and the rest of us, good-thinking people. This book shatters that myth by exposing the number of people falsely accused and convicted--who sometimes spend decades in prison or are even executed!--while the truly guilty run free. Unethical prosecutors (who seldom suffer any consequences), ignorant and biased judges, ...

The Cops Are Robbers: A Convicted Cop's True Story of Police Corruption

1 review
Gerald W. Clemente

Quinlan Press (MA), 1987

This book has a empty feeling
When I first picked this book up I thought it would offer insight into the dark world of police corruption. Well, I was wrong. This book only shows what one individual's thoughts and actions were at the time of their crimes. This book could have been excellent had it showed how corruption exists inside a police force in general. instead the author chose to write from an individual standpoint.
