I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It goes into the profound problems with the Death Penalty in criminal justice. Such as incompetent lawyers, racial profiling, and wrongful convictions. In particular, the Case of Edward Lee Elmore. In January 1982, a white South Carolina widow named Dorothy Edwards was found dead in

Why consumers don’t have confidence in them is simple, it’s because they are new and have yet to be battle test-ed on large scales which requires people to take a leap of faith for unproven

The 9/11 Commission Report September 11, 2001 was a day that everyone who was old enough to remember will remember for the rest of their lives.
