This testimony was reminiscent of Franklin’s confession to police after he was arrested for a synagogue shooting in the St. Louis area. During that arrest, Franklin was asked whether he felt any remorse. After a long silence, Franklin responded, “I can’t say that I do. The only thing I’m sorry about is that it’s not legal.” When the detective asked what illegal action he was referring to, Franklin responded, “Killing Jews.”4 Indeed, the synagogue shooting in the fall of 1977 serves as a prime example of Franklin’s detailed planning.

We set this proposal in a framework of how the inductive innocence paradigm was developed and analyze how the term “causation” is used in legal, scientific and case analysis. We then explore a subject not yet addressed by wrongful conviction scholarship but that may confront an investigator: whether an unsolved crime is the work of a serial criminal and whether a suspect is the serial criminal. We examine a convenience sample of forty-four exonerees convicted of crimes committed by thirty serial criminals. The analysis is aimed at opening up a discussion of the kind of complexity that investigators face in hard-to-solve cases. 1 We thank Sam Gross and the National Registry of Exonerations’ staff for providing case files. * Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Wayne State University. ** Assistant Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Wayne State University. 941 941 ZALMAN PRODUCTION (DO NOT DELETE) 12/17/2016 4:35 PM 942 Albany Law Review [Vol. 79.3 I.

    Fascism 10 (2021) 166-185 ‘The Girl Who Was Chased by Fire’: Violence and Passion in Contemporary Swedish Fascist Fiction Mattias Gardell Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies of Racism, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden [email protected] Abstract Fascism invites its adherents to be part of something greater than themselves, invoking their longing for honor and glory, passion and heroism. An important avenue for articulating its affective dimension is cultural production. This article investigates the role of violence and passion in contemporary Swedish-language fascist fiction. The protagonist is typically a young white man or woman who wakes up to the realities of the ongoing white genocide through being exposed to violent crime committed by racialized aliens protected by the System. Seeking revenge, the protagonist learns how to be a man or meets her hero, and is introduced to fascist ideology and the art of killing. Fascist literature identifies aggression and ethnical cleansing as altruistic acts of love. With its passionate celebration of violence, fascism hails the productivity of destructivity, and the life-bequeathing aspects of death, which is at the core of fascism’s urge for national rebirth. Keywords Sweden – fascist culture – fascist fiction – violence – heroism – death – love – radical nationalism Fascism – here used in its Griffian sense as a generic term for revolutionary nationalisms centered on a mythic core of national rebirth – has a discernible affective dimension. It offers its adherents to be part of something greater than themselves, invoking their longing for glory, honor, and beauty, and inducing their capacities for hate, love, self-sacrifice, and violence.

  • Books on Serial Killers
    _____________________________________________________________ Researching the Multiple Murderer: A Comprehensive Bibliography of Books on Specific Serial, Mass, and Spree Killers Michael G. Aamodt & Christina Moyse Radford University True crime books are a useful source for researching serial killers. Unfortunately, many of these books do not include the name of the killer in the title, making it difficult to find them in a literature search. To make researching serial killers easier, we have created a comprehensive bibliography of true crime books on specific multiple murderers. This was done by identifying the names of nearly 1,800 serial killers and running searches of their names through such sources as WorldCat, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and crimelibrary.com. This listing was originally published in 2004 in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology and was last updated in August, 2012. An asterisk next to a killer’s name indicates that a timeline written by Radford University students is available on the Internet at http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial_killer_timelines.htm and an asterisk next to a book indicates that the book is available in the Radford University library. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Adams, John Bodkin Devlin, Patrick (1985).

  • From a Reluctant Prosecutor: My Journey by Creighton Horton State V
    CHAPTER 22 HANDLING CAPITAL CASES, AND THOUGHTS ON THE DEATH PENALTY I came of age as a prosecutor in Utah in the 1980s, a period when capital cases exploded onto the evening news. Many of the men now on death row in Utah committed their crimes in the 80s, and many of the murderers from that era became household names. One way or another, I was to get involved in most of their cases. State v. Joseph Paul Franklin Franklin was an avowed racist and serial killer who was eventually linked to twenty murders across the country. Under cover of darkness, he hid in the back of a vacant field at twilight and shot and killed two young black men because they were jogging with white women in Salt Lake’s Liberty Park. State v. Ronald Lemoyne Kelly Kelly broke into a young woman’s house late at night and killed her with a butcher’s knife in a murderous frenzy. When the police found her, the knife had been plunged into her chest with such force that the tip of the blade went completely through her and stuck to the floorboard beneath her body. State v. Julio Gary Valdez Valdez had fathered a child with the victim, his former girlfriend. Facing a paternity action and living with a new girlfriend to whom he was engaged, Valdez arranged to meet the victim and her baby late at night after he got off work. He then shot and killed the victim and dragged her body into some bushes, and threw the baby into the Jordan River.
