    Nineteen-year-old Jovan Mosley, a good kid from one of Chicago's very bad neighborhoods, was coerced into confessing to a crime he didn't commit. Charged with murder, he spent five years and eight months in a prison for violent criminals. Without a trial. Jovan grew up on the rough streets of Chicago's Southeast Side. With one brother dead of HIV complications, another in jail for arson and murder, and most kids his age in gangs, Jovan struggled to be different. Until his arrest, he was. He excelled in school, dreamed of being a lawyer, and had been accepted to Ohio State. Then on August 6, 1999, Jovan witnessed a fight that would result in a man's death. Six months later, he was arrested, cruelly questioned, and forced into a confession. Sent to a holding jail for violent criminals, he tried ceaselessly to get a trial so he could argue his case. He studied what casework he could, rigorously questioning his public defenders. But time after time his case was shoved aside. Amiable, bright, and peaceable, he struggled to stay alive in prison. As the years ground on, he'd begun to lose hope when, by chance, he met Catharine O'Daniel, a successful criminal defense lawyer. Although nearly all cases with a signed confession result in a conviction, she was so moved by him, and so convinced of his innocence, that Cathy accepted Jovan as her first pro bono client. Cathy asked Laura Caldwell to join her and together they battled for Jovan's exoneration. Here is Laura's firsthand account of their remarkable journey.This is a harrowing true story about justice, friendship, failure, and success. A breakdown of the justice system sent a nice kid to one of the nation's nastiest jails for nearly six years without a trial. It would take a triumph of human kindness, ingenuity, and legal jousting to give Jovan even a fighting chance. Deeply affecting, Long Way Home is a remarkable story of how change can happen even in a flawed system and of ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Caldwell.

    This is a bundle of the first three episodes in Caitlin's Tarot: "The Fool": You can never escape from murder.... At least that's how it seems to Caitlin Connor. Blessed with funky DNA, she's able to see auras, read Tarot cards, and oh, yeah, she also packs the powerful ability to manipulate energy - the same energy that was instrumental in her mother's death. Ready for a new beginning, Caitlin leaves her estate on the English Riviera in her aunt's capable hands, and with a hefty dose of optimism, travels to Hawaii's North Shore to practice her newly learned art of reading Tarot cards. Day one: Caitlin is faced with her personal prophecy. Day two: she trips over a dead body and hits the Honolulu PD's suspect list. Whoever said life in paradise was idyllic didn't know Caitlin Connor. Can she find the killer and get on with living her dream, or will her future be limited to a jail cell? "The Chariot": It was going to be a witchy kind of day.... Working at the Ola Boutique wasn't in Caitlin's plans, but it provides the perfect opportunity to build a following for her Tarot readings and to search for whoever killed Ted Thatcher. Her destiny, standing for truth and justice, demands she find the murderer and free Ola Boutique's owner, Hannah Matthews, from being convicted of a crime she didn't commit. New to working with her Wiccan heritage, Caitlin accidentally summons an apparition of Thatcher. His only message is a single word - witch. Like Hannah. And like Caitlin. How will Caitlin find the guilty witch when she's barely dipped her toes into the craft? And what if the guilty witch really is Hannah? "The Moon": She stands for truth and justice.... Hannah is still in jail. The person who killed Ted Thatcher is still at large. And Caitlin is determined to track down the real killer, even if it means she has to join a coven. Officer Jace Porter believes in Ha ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leah Frederick. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/054247/bk_acx0_054247_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Just follow the instructions and you'll be stress-free in no time! Are you ready to get started on your journey to living a healthier, stress-free life? Yes? Then let's get started! All too often people over-commit or live such a hectic lifestyle that they end up feeling stressed without realizing just what damage they are doing to their bodies. They may even think they are having lots of fun, but underneath it all they are not really happy. Often, they blame other people for their unhappiness and try to control things that they cannot really control in an effort to get their life back on track, but sadly they find it impossible. In actual fact, the problem lies within them and it will not be until they realize this that they can start to treat the problem and feel better. Another scenario that occurs frequently is taking the advice of a buddy or acquaintance presenting himself as a self-proclaimed "expert". You know the type. He knows all about personal happiness and proceeds to let you know everything you are doing "wrong". If you take his advice, things don't really improve and may even get worse. Before you know it you have connected the experience with the jerk and you let the whole experience fade into oblivion, never willing to try it again. It doesn't have to be like that. You can learn the basics of ridding yourself from stress. The best part is you can do it without buying the wrong equipment. You can do it without the help of a "know it all". You can do it without wasting a lot of time. You can do it without spending a fortune. You can get started right away. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris.

    Real estate investing is a risk, no matter what you are considering to purchase or how experienced you are. Real estate note investing is no small purchase and not devoid of risk either, but if you talk to an investor that has “been there, done that”, you are bound to hear the same thing you will hear in this book: It is worth it!Real estate note investing means you purchase the loan from a lender, essentially making you the bank. You are not a landlord and do not own the property (yet), so you do not need to do any maintenance or physical labor to flip it for profit, like a hard real estate investment requires. Instead, you collect the mortgage payments and enjoy the monthly passive income for the duration of the note. But what happens when the note is not performing? You can still make money there, and in some cases, more than you would if you bought the loan that has a faithful borrower.There are several considerations you need to review before you dive into an investment this size. Once you have done your due diligence and developed a strategy for success, you can expect to see returns on your investment up to 20 percent in as little as a few months. When you are playing with the big numbers, this can mean some serious income for you!It is not easy finding these notes to buy, or working with borrowers, sometimes, so make sure to commit to memory the phrases and tips outlined in this book to make the interactions and processes smooth and effective. In the chapters of this book, enjoy learning the "secrets" note investors live by to create a wealth that boosts their bank accounts immediately, and over time, you can achieve this with less effort than a "traditional" real estate investment requires.Highlights of the book include:A brief overview of exactly what a mortgage note is and how it is soldStrategies on how to invest in notes for the largest return ungekürzt.

    Written by a wrongfully convicted man who spent 16 years in solitary confinement and 12 years on death row, a powerful memoir about fighting for - and winning - exoneration. In the summer of 1992, a grandmother, a teenage girl, and four children under the age of 10 were beaten and stabbed to death in Somerville, Texas. The perpetrator set the house on fire to cover his tracks, deepening the heinousness of the crime and rocking the tiny community to its core. Authorities were eager to make an arrest. Five days later, Anthony Graves was in custody. Graves, then 26 years old and without an attorney, was certain that his innocence was obvious. He did not know the victims, he had no knowledge about the crime, and he had an airtight alibi with witnesses. There was also no physical evidence linking him to the scene. Yet Graves was indicted, convicted of capital murder, sentenced to death, and, over the course of 12 years on death row, given two execution dates. He was not freed for 18 years, two months, four days. Through years of suffering the whims of rogue prosecutors, vote-hungry district attorneys, and Texas State Rangers who played by their own rules, Graves was frequently exposed to the dire realities of being poor and black in the criminal justice system. He witnessed fellow inmates who became his friends and confidants be taken away, one by one, to their deaths. And he missed out on seeing his three young sons mature into men. Graves's only solace was his infinite hope that the state would not execute him for a crime he did not commit. To maintain his dignity and sanity, Graves made sure as many people as possible knew about his case. He wrote letters to whomever he thought would listen. Pen pals in countries all over the world became allies, and he attracted the attention of a savvy legal team that overcame setback after setback, chiseling away at the state's faulty case against him. Everyone's efforts eventually worked. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leon Nixon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/005464/bk_rand_005464_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Every year, millions of people fall victim to a debilitating disease - a disease that cripples careers, destroys relationships, and undermines the health and happiness of the entire world. This disease is responsible for poverty, crime, war, natural disasters, and our economic ills. It has had no name until now - it's called small thinking. Its hallmarks are a failure of imagination and a disbelief in human possibility. In The Think Big Manifesto, Michael Port calls you, and the world, to action by offering a simple solution to a serious syndrome. Think big, commit to quantum change, envision your future, climb your mountains, and incite the revolution our society needs - if it is to survive. But it takes a personal revolution to stop accepting what is and start energetically creating what is possible. You can't wait until later to do big things. It's up to you to achieve your dreams, to head in the right direction, and to keep your focus. If you think you've waited too long, that there's no point anyway, or that it's too late - that's just small thinking. But even the most talented and self-confident among us often forget to think big. It's not always easy to do. That's why The Think Big Manifesto is not your average motivational guide. You'll find 10 fundamental principles for thinking big and a personal code of conduct for changing the way you approach the world - today. The time has come. Port urges you not to sit back, hesitate, or wait. He awakens your big-thinking self. He stirs the contagious, catalytic power of once dormant big thoughts that are now ready to be released. He asks you to look inward, outward, and upward - to think bigger about who you are and what you offer the world. The Think Big Manifesto is about changing every aspect of your life - from the way you work to the way you relate to friends, family, and community. With real examples that inspire and inform - like the high school dropout who built ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Port.
