Showing results for "Alexander" in Murder

Homicidal is the story of the almost 25-year serial-murder crime spree of Lonnie Franklin Jr., who is alleged to have killed at least ten women in Los Angeles, if not more. Nicknamed by the media the Grim Sleeper, because there appeared to be a 13-year lull in the killings, Franklin met most of the women through random encounters that ended in murder. Significant blunders by the Los Angeles Police Department helped Franklin avoid arrest for years.

Denn sie wissen, was sie tun? Geschätzt 1.200 Tötungsdelikte bleiben jährlich unbemerkt. Doch auch wenn die Taten entdeckt werden, heißt das nicht, dass die Täter überführt werden können. Selbst in Zeiten von Handyortung und hochentwickelten DNA-Analysen kann es ihn noch geben: den perfekten Mord. Strafverteidiger Dr. Alexander Stevens beschreibt wahre und aktuelle Fälle, bei denen (fast) alle Täter ungeschoren davonkommen konnten.

Denn die Wahrheit stirbt mit − Alexander Stevens über neue spektakulärsten Kriminalfälle. Acht wahre Fälle, acht Urteile, acht Unschuldige? Ein Familienvater, der die dreiköpfige Nachbarsfamilie erschossen haben soll, aber keinerlei Motiv hat. Ein verurteilter Mörder, der behauptet, die Polizei habe Beweise am Tatort gefälscht. Ein Verdächtiger, der zunächst freigesprochen, dann aber wegen Mordes verurteilt wird. Allen Fällen gemein: Die Verurteilten behaupten, unschuldig zu sein und das mit guten Argumenten.

In the closing days of 1799, the United States was still a young republic, its uncertain future contested by the two major political parties of the day: the well-moneyed Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, and the populist Republicans, led by Aaron Burr.
