Sinopse

Plea Bargain Mechanics offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of plea bargains within the criminal justice system. It argues that plea bargaining, despite its criticisms, is a crucial mechanism for the functioning of contemporary criminal courts. Without it, the system would likely be overwhelmed, potentially harming the rights of both defendants and victims. 

 
The book examines the structure of plea deals, detailing the types of agreements such as charge and sentence bargains, and the legal constraints that govern them. It analyzes the motivations behind plea bargaining, looking at incentives for defendants, prosecutors, and judges. Did you know that plea bargaining emerged as a pragmatic solution to alleviate pressures from rising crime rates and complex legal procedures?

 
Also, the book uses statistical data on plea agreement rates and sentencing outcomes to provide a quantitative analysis of this phenomenon. The book progresses from introducing the history and legal basis of plea bargaining to examining negotiation strategies, factors influencing plea deals, and their impact on sentencing disparities. It concludes by exploring potential reforms to enhance transparency and equity. It delves into the political science and true crime aspects of plea bargains, balancing legal analysis with empirical research and practical insights.

Death on Ireland's Eye - The...

Dean Ruxton

A tragic death, a murder trial and a 170-year-old mystery – but what really happened?
Shortly after Maria Kirwan died in a lonely inlet on Ireland's Eye, it was decided that she had drowned accidentally during a day spent with her husband on the picturesque island. This inquest verdict appeared to conclude the melancholy events that consumed the fishing village of Howth, Co Dublin, in September 1852.
But not long afterwards, suspicion fell upon Maria's husband, William Burke Kirwan, as whispers of unspeakable cruelty, an evil character and a secret life rattled through the streets of Dublin. Investigations led to William's arrest and trial for murder.
The story swelled into one of the most bitterly divisive chapters in the dark annals of Irish criminal history. Yet questions remain: Does the evidence stand up? What role did the heavy hand of Victorian moral outrage play? Was William really guilty of murder, or did the ever-present 'moral facts' fill in gaps where hard proof was absent?
Now, this compelling modern analysis revisits the key evidence, asking sober questions about the facts, half-facts and fantasies buried within the yellowed pages of the Ireland's Eye case files.

Conspiracy - History’s Greatest...

Charlotte Greig

22 November 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F Kennedy is assassinated as his motorcade passes through the city's streets. The assassin is soon captured, and revealed to be disaffected Communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald act alone, or did he have help? Is the Bilderberg Group simply a group of international financiers concerned with promoting democracy throughout the world, or is there a more sinister power at work? And what really happened to Princess Diana's Mercedes one warm August night in a Paris underpass? 
 
Conspiracy looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende.
