MOSAIC Pieces: Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice by Wes Skillings https://www.amazon.com/MOSAIC-Pieces-Surviving-American-Justice/dp/B0FH7JYK55 A child's murder and a rush to judgment still resonate more than fifty years later with lessons to be learned about American justice from a real-life murder case. The convicted murderer did his time, returned to his hometown of South Williamsport, PA, where the crime occurred, and yet the case against him refuses to retreat quietly into fading memories and a growing cache of the obituaries of those who played many of the prominent roles in this morality play. The impact on him and his family resonates as both tragedy and triumph with a case study that is as much a generational story in more innocent times as it is about the murder of a child in an all-American town known as the home of Little League Baseball. This story centers on an implausible murderer and his family - not that of the twelve-year-old victim and her family. And that's a true crime reversal in itself. Other than one tragic realization, that is. Somebody got away with murder and, despite an impressive accumulation of exculpatory evidence widening cracks into chasms in the Commonwealth's case presented in February of 1974, exoneration has eluded a family sacrificed for political gain and career expediency. "Mosaic Pieces," a work of narrative nonfiction by Wes Skillings, might at its heart be a true crime story, but it encompasses so much more than a murder case. Make that several decades more-three generations of one family- with the evolving story of the crime serving as the keystone of this arching chronicle of guilt versus innocence. Subtitled "Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice," this book reads like a novel supported by a detailed journalistic approach from a man who retired after almost four decades as a newspaper editor, reporter and columnist. The 1973-74 murder case itself is alternately fascinating and disturbing - if only because of what has been learned in the decades since the trial at the end of which Kim Lee Hubbard, 20, was convicted of murdering twelve-year-old Jennifer May Hill. He is a free man and has been for the past four decades and counting after paying his proverbial debt to society. Yet a debt is something you owe, and this convicted murderer, despite leading a productive and fulfilling life in the very community where the crime for which he was tried and convicted occurred, has his own debt to collect. The debt is exoneration for a crime he swears he didn't commit and, as this true crime narrative that reads like a novel shows, one that relied on evidence that had been manipulated and manufactured. The arrest, trial and jury's verdict required only four-and-a-half months from the day the child's remarkably well-preserved body was found in a cornfield a few hundred yards from her home on October 28, 1973. She had been dead in that field, according to evidence proffered by the Commonwealth, for 216 hours (nine days) in unseasonably warm and dry October weather for Pennsylvania. And yet the body on the autopsy table the evening of October 29, 1973, "was as fresh as if she had died just the day before," according to the man who picked up the body and later embalmed it. Acclaimed forensics experts on body decomposition and time of death stated without reservation that the body must have been refrigerated for all but 48 hours of those nine days. Other aspects of the case, including misuse and abuse of DNA by an apologist for the DA's office, bring the impact of this story well into the 21st Century. Skillings offers readers the challenge to form their own impressions based on facts and expert opinions. Then again, it is a unique and thought-provoking true crime story with solid human-interest components and insights into murder case essentials like forensic science, expert witnesses, hypnotism of an eyewitness,

I am alive today because of God being on my side, the miracle of modern medicine, and an amazing healthcare team of experts. I did not only survive breast cancer. I am living and thriving after breast cancer, and if God did it for me, He will do it for you too.

Kentucky Barracuda: Parker H. French by Joe Goodbody https://www.amazon.com/Kentucky-Barracuda-Parker-H-French/dp/1960224239 Parkerhfrench.com Parker Hardin French was certainly an adventurer and entrepreneur who engaged in elaborate, bold, and ambitious exploits but he was also a magnificent con-man-a barracuda. Those who followed his exploits were variously exasperated, captivated by his audacity and nervy cheek, or humored by his latest escapade. He was judged an incorrigible scoundrel, labeled a chronic megalomaniac, or peddled as a misunderstood victim of his enemies. Many believed him a hero- many just thought him insane. Some of his efforts may have begun as legitimate endeavors, but they inevitably resulted in double-crossed partners, betrayed allies. and swindled creditors. French was reported killed five times-twice killed in gunfights; executed in Mexico by both hanging and firing squad; and once killed in Nicaragua. For a short while there was a lapse of interesting press reports, so many just presumed that he was already dead, the victim of retribution or excessive alcohol. He ultimately died of natural causes-in his bed. In the era of steam, sail and horse, the rapidity of French's movement and breadth of his adventures is almost mind-numbing. As a runaway kid he fought in the British Navy in the first Opium War. When he was just 22 years old, he was a commission merchant and, a year later, built the first ocean going ship on the upper Mississippi. Before he was 30, he was the leader of an infamous gold rush expedition; implicated in an irregular invasion of Cuba; jailed bandit and then a paramilitary hero in Mexico; lawyer, district attorney, legislator, journalist, and political enforcer in California; member of an American cabal which governed Nicaragua; and, appointed but rejected Nicaraguan ambassador to the United States. He did not slowdown in his 30s: he was a real estate developer; lawyer; journalist; part of a conspiracy to invade Mexico; suspected seditionist agitator and Confederate agent; jailed as a political prisoner; and, lawyer and purveyor for Union troops. His final days were spent in obscurity but the period was still peppered with the occasional swindle that garnered both regional and national attention. First and foremost, he was always a barracuda.About the author Author of the historical biography: KENTUCKY BARRACUDA: PARKER HARDIN FRENCH (1826-1878) Subtitle: The Notorious Scoundrel & Delightful Rogue of Antebellum and Civil War America. Parker French swindled my Great Grandfather. Born and raised in Escondido California; a fourth generation Californian. The nuns at St Mary's Elementary (especially Sister Mary Arimathea) would be astonished that I ever learned to write a complete sentence or form a paragraph. A graduate of Escondido High School with a bachelor's degree from University of Nebraska at Omaha and a masters from Florida Institute of Technology. Married for over 50 years to the love of my life; two sons and four grandkids. After a wonderful career of 28 years service, I retired from the United States Army as a Colonel. Retired again as a corporate leader.

In the process the grip of grief begins to lessen, death braids its way into life, and life informs the losses with abiding connections. Gradually, she begins to find herself capable of imagining life without her sister and best friend. Toward the end of the book Hocker’s own near-death experience illuminates how familiarity with her individual mortality helps her live with joy, confidence, and openness.
