First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover photography by Kees Tabac (illustrator). 1st Edition. Not books but two 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl rock 'n roll record albums, both from very-good-plus to near-mint. Sticker affixed to shrink-wrap on "Something Heavy" reads "As seen and heard on Golden Earring's Concert on Music Television featuring live versions of their classic hits 'Radar Love' * 'Twilight Zone' * 'Mission Impossible,' 'Long Blonde Animal,' and others." "N.E.W.S," on the other hand, is stamped to upper corner of jacket verso in gold gilt "Loaned for Promotion / Not for Sale / May Be Reclaimed," which American courts have of course found (9th Circuit, 2011) to be unenforceable nonsense. Also, written in ballpoint to rear cover is "KCSN," the call letters of the "adult album alternative public radio station" at California State University, Northridge. Reduced from $14.

Paperback. Condition: New. They have no witnesses. They have no case. With this blunt observation, Mariann Colby-an attractive, church-going Shaker Heights, Ohio, mother and housewife-bet a defense psychiatrist that she would not be convicted of murder. A lack of witnesses was not the only problem that would confront the State of Ohio in 1966, which would seek to prosecute her for shooting to death Cremer Young Jr., her son's nine-year-old playmate: Colby had deftly cleaned up after herself by hiding the child's body miles from her home and concealing the weapon. Thus, this "highly intelligent" woman, as she would be described at her trial, had hedged a little on her wager. Not only were there no witnesses to the crime, but there was not a shred of physical evidence to pin the slaying on her. Under the usual forensic standards, her wager was spot on; the probabilities were that she would get away with it. But as the Shaker Heights police found themselves stymied by an investigation that was going nowhere, Mariann Colby upped the ante a bit. Under intense questioning, she broke down, claiming the gun had accidentally discharged. The state thought it had its capital murder case, but Mariann Colby's bet against it would be right on the money.As her trial unfolds in the book, the imprecision of her insanity defense confounds the judges, and psychiatrists disagree about her diagnosis. To make matters worse, the panel of judges that initially tried Colby was so confused by what they'd heard that they did not reach a decision consistent with the law of the state. This led to a second trial and more conflicting psychiatric opinions, another controversial judgment, and clashing trial outcomes.After reading The Insanity Defense and the Mad Murderess of Shaker Heights, readers-and the many childhood friends of the slain boy whose painful reminiscences are set forth in the book-will contemplate whether Mariann Colby did indeed get away with murder. In addition, those interested in legal history will find much of value in Tabac's discussions of the case and its use of an insanity defense strategy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tommy Osborn's star was rising. The young Nashville lawyer led a band of Tennessee reformers to victory in a landmark Supreme Court case. Hailed by Chief Justice Earl Warren as the most important of his career, Baker v. Carr's "one man, one vote" mandate revolutionized how Americans chose their representatives. Osborn was hired by Jimmy Hoffa to take on Bobby Kennedy for the fourth time. Unfortunately, the young lawyer met his match in Walter Sheridan, Kennedy's top aide and brilliant spymaster. Author William L. Tabac describes the extraordinary legal proceeding with the twists and turns of a modern television drama and the fall of a prominent attorney.
