Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Most people presume that the legal system works pretty well at dispensing justice. As a community we tend to believe that the fairness rigour and democratic principles inherent in our justice system mean that the presumption of innocence is protected that only the truly guilty are sent to prison. But that is not always the case. Drawing on painstaking research and insightful analysis "A State of Injustice" examines various cases where forensic investigations were later found to be flawed. These cases have prompted calls for the establishment of a Criminal Cases Review Commission and raised doubts about the involvement of the former Chief of Forensic Pathology for South Australia Dr Colin Manock whose qualifications for the job have come into question. In view of the errors brought to light author Robert Moles asks - have innocent people been wrongly imprisoned and have guilty parties literally gotten away with murder Quantity Available: 12.

ROBERTS SAM
The Brother: The Untold Story Of Atomic Spy David Greenglass And How He Sent His Sister Ethel Rosenberg To The Electric Chair
Random House New York: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. Inscribed by the author. In 1951 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were tried for and convicted of conspiring to steal atomic secrets. In 1953 their execution tore America apart. Fifty years later the acrimonious debate over the Rosenbergs' guilt and the raw emotions unleashed by a case that fueled McCarthyism and the cold war still reverberate. One man doomed the Rosenbergs: David Greenglass Ethel Rosenberg's brother the young army sergeant who spied for the Soviets at Los Alamos during World War II and whose testimony later sealed his sister and brother-in-law's fate. After serving ten years in prison he was released in 1960 and vanished. But Sam Roberts a New York Times editor found David Greeglass and after fourteen years finally persuaded him to talk. Includes an Index. "The Brother is a remarkable achievement: lucid amazingly fair-minded unsparing in its description of all the players in the case. Roberts has at once given us a marvelous read - a real-life spy thriller - and rendered a rare public service." - David Halberstam ISBN: 0375500138. Random House, New York: 2001 hardcover
