Free Shocking True Stories Of Citizens Who Took The Law Into Their Own Hands Ebooks To Download
AN EYE FOR AN EYEThey are battered women, grieving parents, and burglarized homeowners who responded to criminal violence by taking the law into their own hands. Their cases have struck a deep chord in American society. Are they victims of a failing judicial system or criminals themselves? True crime writer Gary Provost examines the stories of ordinary citizens who have taken on the roles of judge, jury and — sometimes — executioner. Are their acts a higher form of justice...or merely revenge? You decide:* Bernhard Goetz, who shot four teenagers when they approached him on a subway train and demanded money* The young man who gunned down his own friend for killing his teenaged sister in a drunk-driving accident* The mother who risked her life to track down and apprehend her daughter's rapist* "Grambo," the Dallas grandmother who held a burglar at gunpoint for forty-five minutes while waiting for the police* The battered wife who hired a hit man to murder her husband after seventeen years of abuseFascinating, penetrating, and chilling, Into Their Own Hands is a controversial and thought-provoking look at what's wrong with crime and punishment in America today and what happens when victims don't just get mad — they get even.

This book is ok., that doesn't mean it is not worth buying and then reading from cover to cover, it just means it would not be my first choice of reading material. I enjoy reading a great true crime book and this one unfortunately doesn't quite make that standard.
