Title: Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System

Author: M. Chris Fabricant

Narrator: Chris Henry Coffey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:50:54

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Current Affairs, Social Science, Political Advocacy

Summary:

From CSI to Forensic Files to the celebrated reputation of the FBI crime lab, forensic scientists have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers. Juries put their faith in expert witnesses and innocent

people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are still on death row today, condemned by junk science.

In 2012, the Innocence Project began searching for prisoners convicted by junk science, and three men, each convicted of capital murder, became M. Chris Fabricants clients. Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System

chronicles the fights to overturn their wrongful convictions and to end the use of the science that destroyed their lives. Weaving together courtroom battles from Mississippi to Texas to New York City and beyond, Fabricant takes the reader on a

journey into the heart of a broken, racist system of justice and the role forensic science plays in maintaining the status quo.

At turns gripping, enraging, illuminating, and moving, Junk Science is a meticulously researched insiders perspective of the American criminal justice system. Previously untold stories of wrongful executions, corrupt prosecutors, and

quackery masquerading as science animate Fabricants true crime narrative.

An arresting coming of age, an exploration of gender, a modern folktale, a powerful portrait of a familyKatya Kazbek breaks out as a new voice to watch.

When Mitya was two years old, he swallowed his grandmothers sewing needle. For his family, it marks the beginning of the end, the promise of certain death. For Mitya, it is a small, metal treasure that guides him from within. As he grows, his

life mirrors the uncertain future of his country, which is attempting to rebuild itself after the collapse of the Soviet Union, torn between its past and the promise of modern freedom. Mitya finds himself facing a different sort of ambiguity: is he

a boy, as everyone keeps telling him, or is he not quite a boy, as he often feels?

After suffering horrific abuse from his cousin Vovka who has returned broken from war, Mitya embarks on a journey across underground Moscow to find something better, a place to belong. His experiences are interlaced with a retelling

of a foundational Russian fairytale, Koschei the Deathless, offering an element of fantasy to the brutal realities of Mityas everyday life.

Told with deep empathy, humor, and a bit of surreality, Little Foxes Took Up Matches is a revelation about the life of one community in a country of turmoil and upheaval, glimpsed through the eyes of a precocious and empathetic child,

whose heart and mind understand that there are often more than two choices. An arresting coming of age, an exploration of gender, a modern folktale, a comedy about family, Katya Kazbek breaks out as a new voice to watch.

dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. But Miriam Leslie was also a byword for scandal: She flouted feminine convention, took lovers, married four times,

Summary:

Two sisters, one long-ago murder, and a web of terrifying secrets collide in a gripping standalone thriller from acclaimed author Edwin Hill

At first glance, Natalie Cavanaugh and Glenn Abbott hardly look like sisters. Even off-duty, Natalie dresses like a Boston cop, preferring practical clothes and unfussy, pinned-up hair. Her younger sister, Glenn, seems tailor-made for the spotlight, from her signature red mane to her camera-ready

smile. Glenn has spent years cultivating her brand through her baking blog, and with the publication of her new book, that hard work seems about to pay off. But her fans have no idea about the nightmare in Glenn and Natalies past.

Twenty years ago, their fathers body was discovered in the woods behind their house. A trauma like that doesnt fit with Glenns public image. Yet, maybe someone reading her blog does know something. There have been anonymous online messages, vague yet ominous, hinting that

shes being watched. And with unsettling coincidences hitting ever closer to home, both Glenn and Natalie soon have more pressing matters to worry about, especially when a dead body is found in an abandoned building

Natalie is starting to wonder how much Glenn really knows about the people closest to her. But are there also secrets Natalie has yet to uncover about those she herself trusts? For two decades, shes believed their father was murdered by

their neighbor, with whom he was having an affair. But if those events are connected to whats happening now, maybe theres much more that Natalie doesnt know. About their father. About their neighbors. About her friends.

Maybe even about herself.

But there are no secrets between sisters are there?
