Описание: This work of fiction is an amalgamation of composite sketches concerning battered women whom I have interviewed at considerable length over the course of many years. Its fusion was additionally inspired by one battered woman's jury trial and her subsequent imprisonment for the shooting death of her husband. Therefore, this narrative is based both on fact and inspiration, a roman a clef, translated, a novel with a key]; that is, a thinly-guised account of many actual events. The courtroom scenes are virtually verbatim. Back-and-forth bimonthly (in this case meaning twice a month) correspondence with one female inmate over the course of several years is closely transcribed as written; that is, the inmate's misspellings, poor grammar, et cetera, albeit instances of Caitlin Fitzgerald's (pseudonym) syntax have been altered for the sake of clarity. Too, all other names and locations were changed for obvious reasons. Again, this is a factual accounting framed as fiction. Be prepared to enter a dark world of spousal violence, murder, courtroom drama, a prisoner's life behind bars, and Caitlin's eventual freedom. Embellishment is employed in the final chapter and epilogue solely as a tool to sensationalize and carry the story to its conclusion; otherwise, this narrative is as real as it gets. The theme of this work is awareness: awareness of how the criminal courts work as well as how they fail; awareness of how various police departments work to build a case for the district attorney in lieu of endeavoring to ascertain truth; awareness of inept and corrupt law enforcement officers; awareness of how a criminal defense attorney misserved his client; awareness of the discretionary and unlimited powers of seated judges to rule on the admission or rejection as to what they themselves allow into evidence. In essence, this is a story based on the frailties and failures of our criminal justice system. It is a story of supposed truths and half-truths, often concealed between the poles of outright prevarication and distortion. Firstly, it is a book about battered women and what they must do in order to free themselves from the chains of verbal, emotional and physical abuse; admittedly, easier said than done. Lastly, it is a book about one of our so-called freedoms; namely, the perversion of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution -our Freedom of Speech-for the Son of Sam law has prevented me, as well as anonymous sources cloaked within these pages, from telling this story as nonfiction. Keep in mind that there have been trials of battered women who have shot and killed their sleeping husbands and beaten (pun intended) the case against them in criminal court. Such a singular yet sometimes defensible action falls within the parameters of the battered-spousal syndrome and goes to the state of mind of the defendant at the time of the event. A commonplace criminal defense attorney would be far out of his or her league to argue such a case before a jury, let alone a case of self-defense as it applies to this syndrome. The intricacies are complex. A litigator would have to educate then convincingly argue that defense before a judge and jury. The task becomes altogether challenging when a consummate prosecutor attacks the credibility of that syndrome as pure junk science. One must never lose sight of the fact that a court trial, be it civil or criminal, is a contest between two lawyers-period. Win or lose at all cost is the name of the game. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is at best a cliche that lies somewhere between the poles of guilt and innocence.

Описание: A murderous cult is hellbent on creating chaos and the eventual collapse of our government. Richard Geist, the Inner Circle of Friends' charismatic leader, has a hidden agenda no less ambitious than his followers' goals. Richard Geist wants control of a promising author, Robert Redler, and the man's extraordinary gift-the writer's alleged ability to predict the future-which even Redler has trouble understanding and reconciling. Robert Redler's writing talents are also in demand by an unassuming housewife, Barbara Giordano, who hires the wordsmith to pen and expose certain practices of a corrupt state government working hand in hand with the Mafia. A contract has been put out on the woman. Barbara Giordano sees Robert Redler as her insurance policy. Beginning with the brutal murder of a district attorney, in addition to men and women associated with Robert Redler's past, eventually lead police to the author's doorstep. Authorities have ample yet questionable reason to suspect Redler as the killer or accomplice. A maze of intrigue ensues as police vacillate between Redler's uncertain guilt or innocence. A lethal game of cat and mouse unfolds. Is Robert Redler actually Richard Geist's accomplice and pawn? Is the author being falsely accused of crimes he did not commit? Has the writer actually tapped into a supernatural phenomenon with which to combat the forces of evil that surround him? As there is no question of Richard Geist's guilt and evil genius, Robert Redler's gifted powers-a prodigy wielding no more than a pen-are viewed as an enigma. Is Redler's explosive new book the word and work of a higher power yet veiled as fiction, or grounded in rock-solid truth?

Описание: "As a forensic psychologist specializing in psychopathy, I have been researching authors who write fiction in the field of forensic psychology. I am impressed with Banfelder's well-researched, credible, and unique plots regarding the criminal mind. The Teacher was an easy, enjoyable read. The author painted an excellent picture of a psychopath through Clarence Emery. I noticed quite a few subtleties such as his inability to be nervous, always in control, and establishing relationships only for secondary gain. Bravo. It is always nice to see the field advanced." - Dr. Jason D. Dunham, Licensed Psychologist, Fellowship Trained in Forensic Psychology The American intelligence community is retooling, and so is the way in which Suffolk County's commanding officer of homicide, Detective Lieutenant Theodore Groche, conducts day-to-day business. Earlier in time, covert operative, Justin Barnes, helped dismantle a global terrorist network and terminated its leader, serial killer Malcolm Columba. Two years have elapsed, and Columba's prot g , Clarence Emery, known as The Teacher, has surfaced in New York City. This terrifying figure, who often befriends his victims before butchering them, prefers to get up close and very personal with his quarry. Consequently, every law enforcement agency in the country is on high alert. Sanctioned by hierarchy and shrouded in secrecy, Justin Barnes' mission is to hunt down and terminate Clarence Emery. But who is hunting whom? Justin and his beautiful associate, Jacqueline Rubino, ultimately ask themselves that same question when two women are found murdered at Pipes Cove in Greenport, Long Island-crimes that unquestionably have Emery's signature. The Teacher can hardly wait to match wits with the black American maverick enforcer and Justin Barnes, in turn, obsesses on the moment when he and the madman will finally meet face-to-face. Hence, the game of cat and mouse begins.
