Most people wish they could get a second chance in life... A do over... and correct those mistakes that now lay hidden or buried in their closet. They wish they could hide all those painful memories and lock them all away into a box. Buried them so deep, hoping they never resurface rather than too face them at all. EJ Stuart is just such a person, yet his memories are not the same nor are the hardships of abuse caused by a broken home the same as another man’s down the street. His nightmares are worlds apart than any man has ever faced. He dreams of darkness, everlasting darkness so evil that it can tear a man’s mind apart. Death to some is only a beginning to something else, but what if it was designed to change the outcome entirely, yes a redo. But what of the cost and are you willing to pay for it, even if it is your very soul is at stake? EJ Stuart as man now, a statuses quo in this world is given the opportunity.

That brought him to this stage of life which hunts his dreams and has now entered his waking state. Which will he chose? Death... or a chance to change his destiny forever, knowing his very soul is at stake. Knowing he could never come back. Knowing his life could be changed forever and others around him. For this choice is a gift which can only be obtained Behind the Looking Glass. Where worlds such as Nightmares, Monsters and Fairytales are real and some or seeking his very soul others are asking for help his help to save his and their world from the grasp of evil. Choose well.

What’s Behind the Looking Glass?

This guide to the disclosure provisions of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 and police, forensic and defence investigation is essential for defence lawyers. It explains how they can manage restrictions on the disclosure of unused material, and deal with the requirement to give a written defence disclosure statement. The book shows solicitors how to practise 'active defence' - systematically taking the prosecution case apart to expose its weaknesses and investigating the case for the defence. It also contains the Code of Practice under Part II of CPIA 1996, the main disclosure rules and other useful reference material including a forensic glossary. This new completely revised edition reflects the practical experience gained by lawyers since the Act's introduction and recommends a new approach to drafting the defence statement. It includes the new rules on third party disclosure and the changes resulting from the new Narey provisions. Practical advice on investigating the scene has also been greatly expanded.

A Lawyer's Guide to Police and Defence Investigation and Prosecution and Defence Disclosure in Criminal Cases

The consideration of witness testimony had traditionally been a task left to fact-finders with scant guidance from legal professionals. As a result, various practices have developed during the investigative and trial process which can obscure or even eradicate critical material. Miscarriages of justice will continue to occur, so long as those working within the justice system continue to accept witnesses and their testimony at face value. This book aims to make practitioners, as well as the fact-finders and those who guide them, aware of a wide range of perspectives on witness testimony. Each contributor identifies bad practice and puts forward ideas for improvement or removal of previously acceptable investigative and forensic methods.
