In dit boek geven advocaten Bart Vosters, Christophe Bielen en Janou Riemis een onthullende kijk achter de schermen van justitie. Ze bespreken de meest beklijvende strafzaken waarin ze zelf een rol hebben gespeeld. Ze fileren elk dossier tot op het bot en leggen diverse pijnpunten van het strafsysteem in België bloot, van het politieonderzoek tot in de rechtszaal. Elke zaak gaat over schuld en boete, maar de grens tussen een veroordeling en de vrijspraak is soms flinterdun.

Nicholas Tochka analyses the role of rock music in the life of Charles Manson, the Family, and the August 1969 Tate-LaBianca killings, which also gives larger insight into Sixties counterculture. Failed singer-songwriter. Devious cult leader. A rock Pied Piper. The product of a sick society. Just another dime-a-dozen singing hippy mystic. Did the guitar-playing guru personify the violence that the rock counterculture inflicted on America? Or did his music diagnose the dehumanizing effects of that society’s broken institutions?

Medics and carers hold the lives of their patients in the balance. They see us at our most vulnerable, and we trust them utterly.

In this gripping account, listeners can discover the chilling stories of these cold-hearted killers.

Serial killers like Ed Kemper, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and David Berkowitz have committed some of the most horrible crimes known to man. Their evil deeds seem unthinkable to the rest of us.

Murder and crime are not always a solo affair. Sometimes, when one is confronted by the horrifying truth of their partner's evil deeds, rather than recoiling in horror, they instead join in on the carnage. In other times, it is the love of evil that brings them together, and they share in monstrous fantasies that they enact on the world. Covering up each other's crimes, they can prove difficult to catch.

En el verano de 1915, cinco víctimas —entre ellas dos niñas y una mujer embarazada— fueron masacradas a hachazos en una finca remota de un municipio fronterizo al noroeste de Cáceres, y como consecuencia cinco campesinos del lugar fueron arrestados y condenados a cadena perpetua. La condena fue el inicio de un largo proceso de búsqueda de la verdad protagonizado por los abogados defensores, convencidos de la inocencia de sus defendidos y de que se había cometido un gravísimo error judicial.

Il 13 marzo, mentre tornava a casa, era stato aggredito a colpi di chiave inglese da un gruppo di militanti di Avanguardia Operaia. Sergio Ramelli era iscritto al Fronte della Gioventù, organizzazione di segno opposto, e aveva scritto un tema contro le Brigate Rosse, in cui sottolineava come i primi due omicidi politici commessi dalle BR non fossero stati condannati unanimemente dai partiti e dai giornali democratici.

De prisiones, putas y pistolas es la historia de una amistad y también de una promesa, de cómo dos amigos trazan un plan y lo llevan a cabo, no en elegantes despachos ministeriales, ni en los restaurantes más selectos, ni tan siquiera en las agencias de inteligencia estatales, sino en grises oficinas de los funcionarios anónimos, en los pasillos de las prisiones o en conversaciones telefónicas, y que consiguen que los esforzados y a veces desencantados servidores públicos, encargados de lidiar con la decepción y la mala leche, y a los que nadie otorgará nunca medallas al mérito, sean quienes l
