Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
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.
Lake Carey
Lake Carey is a summer community of several hundred families in the Endless Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania. Lake Careys story begins in 1874, when the narrow-gauge Montrose Railroad began service to the 262-acre glacial lake named Marcys Pond. Cottages with gingerbread porches sprang up almost overnight; hotels, steamboats, and picnic groves swiftly followed. As World War I drew near, the renamed lake and its community were a fixture on the regional map. Their resort status was short-lived, however, as the changing American family and the advent of the automobile began an inexorable transformation. First to go were the crowded steamboats and excursion trains. A new, quieter era began, dominated by rental cottages andat Lake Careyregattas. Through vintage photographs, Lake Carey documents how the people who gathered here retained their strong sense of community born of the shared privilege of a place at the lake and the pleasures of summer pastimes.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
This phrase, heard countless times every day in American courtrooms across the country, sets forth the burden of proof placed upon the prosecution in a criminal trial. 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.
