The phrase “beyond a reasonable doubt” is heard countless times every day in courtrooms around the country. And yet the standard represented by this phrase is nowhere mentioned in the constitution. Nor is it defined anywhere in our laws. What, then, does it really mean? How can it be interpreted? In this volume, more than 80 influential scholars, attorneys, novelists, journalists, and religious figures—including Vice President Kamala Harris—discuss, explore, interpret, and define the phrase and its meaning. Featuring contributions from David Baldacci, Vincent Bugliosi, Frederick Forsyth, Jack Kevorkian, Robert Shapiro, and Scott Turow, among others, this collection of essays, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt—edited and introduced by Larry King—is essential reading for anyone with an interest in how our justice system works today and how it will work in the future.

Yet this cherished principle is not mentioned in the Constitution, nor is it defined by any laws. What, then, does “beyond a reasonable doubt” really mean, and how should it be interpreted and applied? In Beyond a Reasonable Doubt more than 80 distinguished contributors reflect on what this standard really means and how it is applied. Brilliantly dissecting its meaning from every angle, attorneys, judges, novelists, journalists, religious leaders and convicted felons shine a light on the most compelling standard in our legal system.
In March of 2004, Kathleen Savio, the third wife of Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, was found dead in her bathtub. Three years later, in October 2007, twenty-three-year-old Stacy Peterson vanished from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, leaving behind Peterson and their children. Thirty years Stacy's senior, Drew steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his fourth wife had simply fled their tumultuous marriage and run off with another man. In light of Stacy's curious disappearance, however, Kathleen's body was exhumed, a second autopsy was conducted, and her death ruled a homicide. Drawing upon exclusive interviews with Stacy's friends and family and even Drew himself, Chicago-area reporter Joseph Hosey presents the most researched account of the Stacy Peterson case. As the charges against Peterson mounted, one haunting question remains: Where on earth is Stacy?
By turns serious and playful, Sexography maps the coming of age, tragedy and rebirth of one woman’s sexual self. From “making out” with imaginary Hollywood stars in her closet (and getting busted) to coming to terms with abuse, assault and rape, from embracing her curiosity enough to become a sex-toy tester to accepting and dealing with her tumultuous past, Milne paints a brutally honest––and, at times, amusing––picture of what it’s like to learn about and experience sex in every sense of the word. From the earliest experiences in her childhood homes in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, to present-day Los Angeles, Milne guides readers through the troubled waters of female sexuality with a mixture of candor and humor. Whether you’ve been through similar experiences or just know someone who has, Sexography will change your mind about why and how survivors survive.
