Defrosting Cold Cases

Never thought I’d write a tech post but here goes! Brian Inkster and Gavin Ward have both asked how I get all the tweets with the hashtag #cclivechat out of my stream and onto the blog. It requires a few free tools and it is easy. I’ll try to explain this as good as I can. [...]

Kim Evans wrote an excellent summary for the Justice Gap about the Criminal Appeal Lawyers Association (CALA) conference from last week.

A chat not to forget! We discussed a difficult topic with a novel way to try and help the authorities catch the bad guys: child molesters. Gary Lee Walters discussed having a database in which the backgrounds of child abuse images are filed and made available to the public in hopes that someone recognizes the [...]

Barton’s book “the Goodbye Man” features a gorgeous German Shepard, Sadie, who accompanies her boss Jack Steele wherever he goes. Jack, a retired cop turned successful businessman, cannot let [...]
