Beschreibung

Bizarre Legal Defenses explores the strange and often unbelievable world where criminal law meets the outer limits of human behavior. This true crime journey delves into the unusual strategies people have used in court to avoid conviction. From blaming actions on supernatural forces to claiming they were sleepwalking, these cases highlight the challenges inherent in determining culpability and understanding intent.

 
Many of these bizarre legal defenses hinge on expert testimony, particularly in cases involving the insanity defense, where forensic science and psychology play crucial roles. The book progresses by examining specific categories of defenses, such as psychological conditions and involuntary actions, offering detailed case studies and legal analyses.

 
One intriguing aspect covered is how sociological factors can influence the acceptance or rejection of these claims. The book provides a unique perspective by scrutinizing completed court cases, primarily from the 20th and 21st centuries, to reveal the limitations of legal constructs when applied to the complexities of human experience.

Catch Me Or Kill Me - The Saga...

Susan Parrott

Charles Parrott is proud of his work. Not everyone can be as successful as he is at robbing banks. His job as a bootlegger in 1958 gives him the skills behind the wheel to shake anyone who dares to try to catch him. He studies each robbery, using logistics, alibies and disguises. He loves to trick and fool the FBI, and it becomes a decade long game to him. It’s as if he was born for this profession. His love of racing and being a rodeo rider tells you what you need to know about what drives him.  
His wife, Reba Sue, is thought of as a straight arrow. Everyone thinks she’s a saint, but she isn’t. When his upstanding family gets dragged into his insane world, they will all stand by him. 
Most people in the Adair and McCurtain Counties of Oklahoma know that he’s robbing banks, but his generosity to the down and out brings protection and alibis that are solid. He’s their very own “Robin Hood,” and they are charmed by him. 
He has a rotating group of partners, taken from his circle of rodeo riders, former bootlegging buddies and childhood friends. Most of them are loyal. Some don’t last long. It’s not a job for the faint hearted. 
An Oklahoma FBI agent once said that he thought Parrott was one of the best bank robbers that had ever lived.
