réf. 95800Very Good. Single leaf folded to form four pages with list of 83 names on first two pages. Three later horizontal folds probably for filing. Has some pencil markings beside most names -- either a red "x" or an black line. Ink note at top of one of the narrow folded section on last page:Jury of 80 Men for trial of Jorden on Tuesday 28th Inst. Waterstain -- name still quite readable -- a bit wavy but covers about the right third of both leaves as folded. No information as to date or location. Looks like it probably dates sometime in first two-thirds of 19th century. Someone might be able to narrow it down -- most juror names seem common but Plesant W. Ponder probably is not. Later pencil note in unknown hand on last page: possibly Lawrence County Alabama. unknown books
1682réf. 144001682. De Vries Simon. Persian royal court scene 1682 depicts kingship judgment and punishment in a European publication describing Persia and other regions of Asia Africa and the Americas. Issued during the Safavid period the scene places a Persian ruler above assembled courtiers and judges while a kneeling governor is restrained before him presenting Dutch readers with a visual account of royal authority and judicial punishment in seventeenth-century Persia. De Vries compiled his extensive geographical work from earlier travel and eyewitness accounts rather than presenting it as the record of his own travels. De Vries Simon. Curieuse aenmerckingen der bysonderste Oost en West-Indische verwonderens-waerdige dingen; nevens die van China Africa en andere gewesten des werelds. Utrecht: Johannes Ribbius 1682. Original etching on laid watermarked paper. Image 6" x 7.5"; overall sheet 8.25" x 6.5". A Persian king occupies an elevated carpeted throne above an assembly of courtiers and judges. Below him a governor kneels while another figure restrains him establishing punishment as the central action of the composition. Most of the assembled figures wear turbans and long garments; several others have markedly different European-style headwear. Through an architectural opening additional guards appear within the palace setting. Small numbers incorporated into the composition correspond to explanatory text printed in early Dutch above the image linking individual figures and actions to De Vries's written account. Published at Utrecht by Johannes Ribbius De Vries's Curieuse aenmerckingen appeared in four parts in 1682 and compiled European accounts of geography customs religion government and court practices across numerous regions. Bibliographic records confirm both the four-part publication and its substantial series of engraved plates. The present scene documents how Persian royal government and judicial authority were explained pictorially to a late seventeenth-century Dutch readership with the numbered key allowing the image to be interpreted alongside the accompanying text. Uncut as published; overall excellent condition. The watermark surviving margins numbered explanatory system and detailed court scene preserve material and textual evidence of the engraving's original use as an illustration within De Vries's 1682 geographical compilation. unknown books

1925réf. List38112New York City: United Press International 1925. Photograph measuring 8 x 9 ¾ inches. With caption recto; manuscript caption and UPI and "Not For Publication" stamps verso. Excellent. A photograph of John Scopes Clarence Darrow and others during Tennessee's famous "Monkey Trial" in which Scopes was charged with violating the Butler Act which outlawed teaching human evolution in public schools. The case arose when the ACLU put out an advertisement for a teacher willing to violate the Act; community leaders from Dayton Tennessee saw an opportunity both to test the law and to draw attention to their community. New teacher John Scopes agreed to claim to have taught evolution likely falsely as he had not yet taught biology at all. He was represented by Clarence Darrow who was set against the prosecution's William Jennings Bryan-two of the most prominent legal minds of their day. Scopes was found guilty-though the verdict was overturned on a technicality-and the Butler Act stayed Tennessee law until 1967. United Press International unknown books

Modern half calf and marbled paper gilt-stamped lettering on spine; 300x187mm; pp. 4 64. Binding is fine. Text block browned as expected; tiny chips at corners of first two leaves. In December 1692 the young but already dissolute Cornish peer Charles 4th Lord Mohun was involved in a fracas arising from a botched attempt to kidnap the popular actress Anne Bracegirdle. Mohun was acting as accomplice to a young army officer Captain Hill who had taken a fancy to Bracegirdle and decided not to take no for an answer. Their plan to bundle her into a coach was thwarted by the intervention of several of Bracegirdles neighbours but principally by her fellow actor William Mountford. In the ensuing scuffle Mountford was stabbed; he died shortly after. His trial was one of the society events of the year as Mohun had already been part of numerous duels and brawls and tho he was not yet a member of the House his father had been a good Whig and the young Lords future vote was not something that either party were keen to squander. His acquittal proved as sensational as the trial itself had been. One newsletter commented bitterly that a commoner would not have been so fortunate; others debated the intricacies of an attempted appeal that it was thought Mountfords widow intended to lodge but which was expected to be stifled by the Lords. Perhaps most intriguing of all was the conclusion drawn by Queen Mary herself that the verdict was symptomatic of a rot at the very heart of society. Mohun did not learn his lesson. He continued to brawl and only a few years later he was again arrested for another murder of an apparently unrelated Captain Hill. On this occasion he was spared a trial though and took advantage of a royal pardon. Over the next few years he repaid his Whig colleagues trust in him by proving a dependable lieutenant in the House. He may well have been fulfilling precisely the same role when he took the field against the Tory Duke of Hamilton with fatal consequences for both.

1824réf. BB056Murder Trial Account of the Murder of the late Mr William Weare . the coroner's inquest the trials of the prisoners and the execution. By George Henry Jones. London 1824. With 3 landscapes 2 folding plates finely lithographed by C J Hullmandel. 8vo iv344pp; half-leather marbled boards spine label "Thurtell's Trial" lightly scuffed very solid and clean throughout. First edition. William Weare was a solicitor of Lyon's Inn and a gambler. His killer was John Thurtell 1794–1824 a sports promoter amateur boxer a former Royal Marine officer and a son of the Mayor of Norwich. Thurtell owed Weare a gambling debt of £300 an immense sum at the time equivalent to £24500 in 20151. Thurtell believed Weare had cheated him of the money. Whatever the truth when Weare demanded payment Thurtell murdered him rather than pay up. He invited Weare to join him and his friends – Joseph Hunt a tavern landlord and William Probert a former convict and alcohol merchant – for a weekend of gambling at Probert's cottage at the site of Oaks Close off Gills Hill Lane subsequently popularly known as Murder Lane23 Radlett. On 24 October 1823 they journeyed from London in Thurtell's horse-drawn gig but Weare was killed in a dark lane just short of their destination. The gruesome and callous events created such public sensation that it attracted numerous ballads and theatre shows at the time along with comment by the essayist Babington Macaulay and the crime used variously in the work of Sir Walter Scott William Hazllitt and Robert Louis Stevenson. After the trial one of the accused was hanged and another Joseph Hunt was transported to Botany Bay Australia. Charles Joseph Hullmandel 1789–1850 studied art and printmaking and is considered amongst the most important figures in the development of British lithography. He developed a method for reproducing gradations in tones and for creating the effect of soft color washes which enabled the reproduction of Romantic landscape paintings of the type made popular by J. M. W. Turner. Hullmandel's essay The Art of Drawing on Stone 1824 was an important handbook of lithography issued the same year as this account of the trial. books

2013ril. Londra, 1857. Davanti al neonato Tribunale per i divorzi civili compaiono i legali di Henry Robinson, facoltoso e gretto ingegnere di Edimburgo, che sostiene di essere stato tradito dalla moglie Isabella con un altro uomo, il dottor Edward Lane. La vicenda è una storia vera. L'unica prova che viene consegnata al giudice è un diario in cui compaiono gli struggimenti di Isabella per un medico molto più giovane di lei, stimato precursore dell'idroterapia, il cui stabilimento termale veniva frequentato fra gli altri da Charles Darwin. Cosi, anche se la lettura di alcuni brani non chiarisce cosa sia successo veramente, solo un miracolo potrebbe far desistere un tribunale presieduto da tre giudici anziani e conservatori dal condannare la donna. Una donna che per di più dimostra di avere, secondo gli studi frenologici del tempo, l'organo della Amatività eccessivamente sviluppato e quello della Venerazione di dimensioni assai ridotte. Una donna che descrive nel suo diario comportamenti considerati così licenziosi da far allontanare il pubblico femminile dall'aula del tribunale quando vengono letti stralci del suo diario. Il verdetto sembra scontato, ma ecco il colpo di scena: i legali del dottor Lane escogitano una linea difensiva. Isabella è affetta da un "disturbo uterino", un'agitazione patologica che allude alla sua accentuata sensualità (ninfomania, erotomania) e il diario in questione non è che una "prova di romanzo"...
2007br. Anni fa, quando fu pubblicato per la prima volta con un altro titolo, questo libro era diverso da adesso. Gianrico Carofiglio, allora esclusivamente un magistrato ben lontano dai romanzi che ne hanno fatto uno degli autori più amati dal pubblico, l'aveva concepito come un manuale sulla tecnica dell'interrogatorio, su come demolire o rafforzare una testimonianza nel dibattimento penale. Ma siccome il testo era tutto costruito su casi concreti, su verbali di veri interrogatori, ebbe una cerchia di lettori più vasta di quella degli specialisti. Evidentemente molti, nell'arte controllata di insinuare il dubbio fra i fatti, avevano avvertito l'umorismo, ossia il lavoro del contrario. In breve, lo spirito della letteratura, in una raccolta di racconti veristici venati di giallo: pezzi di vita, storie tragiche e comiche di esseri umani presi in avventure e peripezie, di prede e predatori, furbi e poveracci sul palcoscenico del processo che diventa teatro di vita. Da tutto questo lo stimolo a ripubblicarlo oggi liberato dalle parti più tecniche, per tornare ciò che era veramente: una raccolta di racconti giudiziari.
1994br.
2015br. L'opera affronta l'attualissimo tema delle neuroscienze che viene introdotto nei suoi aspetti generali, con particolare riguardo alle ricadute in ambito giuridico, specialmente penale. Infatti le indagini neuroscientifiche e i nuovi test genetici sembrano porre in discussione i tradizionali confini della nozione di infermità e, per certi versi, la stessa nozione di responsabilità, almeno negli approcci più radicali. Le questione dell'applicazione forense presente e futura di metodi neuroscientifici - soprattutto nella valutazione dell'imputabilità - viene approfondita esaminando il problema dell'impiego delle nuove prove scientifiche (anche alla luce dell'esperienza statunitense) e ricostruendo la recente casistica giurisprudenziale, che ha visto i giudici italiani confrontarsi con gli esiti di accertamenti neuroscientifici. L'opera intende fornire a professionisti e ad operatori del diritto una guida sintetica e semplice, ma al contempo seria ed aggiornata, sulle innovazioni che tanto interesse hanno destato nelle cronache, giudiziarie e non.
