Sinopse

Eyewitness Error Factors explores the pervasive issue of eyewitness misidentification and its significant role in wrongful convictions, a disturbing reality within the true crime landscape. The book delves into how courts assess witness reliability, often relying on flawed assumptions about human memory that can lead to unjust outcomes. Cognitive psychology reveals memory's fallibility; for instance, "weapon focus," where a witness fixates on a weapon, can impair their ability to accurately recall other details. This book advocates for a paradigm shift, urging the legal system to treat eyewitness accounts as one piece of evidence among many, subject to rigorous scrutiny. It examines how factors like stress and cross-racial identification can contribute to errors. By analyzing specific legal cases and drawing on empirical studies, the book presents a solutions-oriented approach, offering practical reforms like blind administration of lineups and sequential presentation of suspects, ultimately aiming to improve investigative protocols and reduce wrongful convictions.

    "The best book I have read all year. Simply brilliant." – Iain Dale
    "Oates takes you on an extraordinary journey … His is a life lesson that serendipity and courage can change things for good." – Laura Kuenssberg, former BBC political editor
    "Few in political life are as candid about the underpinning of what drives them. A gripping tale of escape and rescue, this is the story of the making of a liberal soul." – Gary Gibbon, political editor, Channel 4 News
    ***
    Aged fifteen, armed with a credit card stolen from his father, Jonny Oates ran away from home and boarded a plane to Addis Ababa. His plan? To save the Ethiopian people from the devastating 1985 famine. Discovering that demand for the assistance of unskilled fifteen-year-old English boys was limited, he swiftly learned that you can't change the world by pure force of will – a lesson that would prove invaluable in politics.
    I Never Promised You a Rose Garden charts Oates's journey from his darkest moments alone in Ethiopia, struggling with his sexuality and mental health, to the heart of Westminster, where, as Nick Clegg's chief of staff, he grapples with the compromises and concessions of coalition.
    Shot through with a captivating warmth and humour, this heart-stoppingly candid memoir reflects on the challenges of balancing idealism and pragmatism, illustrating how lasting change comes from working together rather than standing alone.

    A behind-the-scenes political memoir written by a prominent White House physician. 
     
    I would talk to the president before the chief of staff even saw the president in the morning. I walked into work, and I was already in the Oval Office talking to President Trump. 
     
    It was rarely medical, to be honest with you; it was whatever was going on in the news. I’d be the first person he’d see in the morning. The president was completing tasks two to three hours before anybody else showed up in the West  
    Wing to work. He’d get up at five o’clock in the morning and would be watching TV, tweeting, making phone calls, and doing all types of other tasks. 
     
    President Trump would poke his head into my office or I’d walk out, and we would say, “Good morning. Did you see this or that?” He was always asking me about things on TV and what was going on, from Iran to Stormy Daniels. 
     
    He’d say, “Walk with me.” So I’d walk him to the Oval Office, and we’d talk about everything. I’d walk out through the outer Oval Office and the chief of staff, national security advisor, and even the CIA briefer would be standing there,  
    waiting to get in and talk to him. I’d walk out, they’d walk in, and his day would start. I was the first person he saw every morning and the last person he saw every evening when he went to bed.
