In love with money, drugs, and crime.Meet a group of teens determined to gain as much control over the illicit activities the streets have to offer and find themselves dealing with their demons and at odds with each other and other organizations.

Evidence of Innocence attests to the reality that the more serious the charge, the harder it is to prove innocence - even with strong evidence that the accused was nowhere near the scene of the crime when it occurred.Among other disservices, Edward Clark's court appointed an attorney in the small town that did not assist in jury selection, leaving Clark to choose jurors from a local population he knew nothing about and with documented jury tampering. The prosecution introduced false testimony through investigators and witnesses claiming to be forensic experts and withheld evidence obtained through illegally eavesdropping on attorney-client conversations that supported Clark's defense. Altered court documents impeached the key defense witness. The names of those claiming responsibility are revealed. Ed Clark was convicted of two related murders in 1974 and has been in prison since.According to the National Institute of Justice, nearly 250,000 factually innocent Americans are currently behind bars. The reader's lesson? There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Blueface Dreams is a tale of four childhood friends whose dreams are to have a piece of underground's pie. When everyone around you is hood-rich and you're in rags when compared, you begin to contemplate change. Black, the savage of the comrades, plants a seed in the minds of his friends involving a move that will change everything. Dro, the level-headed member, devised a plan that was effective and very efficient, that carried minimum risk and Izzo reluctantly agrees. But when Jroc alters the plan, unnecessary blood is shed and creates a whole mess of new problems. The come-up rubs a powerful man the wrong way, which leads to a kidnapping of family. The fight to stay on top, stay free, and stay alive is always the goal, but now it's the mission. Blueface dreams come at a price that everyone in the hood is willing to take.

"My Blue Days Sound Like Blue Jays" is about culture, love, and despair; about self-consciousness, sarcasm, political, spiritual, and intellectual growth. It consists of epic and short poems through which the author reveals his life struggles while living in Boston as a son to Haitian immigrants, dealing with Black America trauma in the United States, and being subjected to Mass Incarceration Policies where he'd endured great suffering and loss. In the process, the author was able to transform his failures, mistakes, and misfortunes into some achievements...these words of inspiration.

Self-Made: How to Win by Investing in Yourself is a great book that provides multiple ways you can generate cash flow that will fund your IRA account or your life, if you choose to not use an IRA. This book is broken down into five individual chapters that help you get an understanding of finance and financial products in the market.Chapter One is dedicated to giving you a basic understanding of the principles of finance. These five principles are like a guide to the rest of the book and open your eyes to being a boss instead of a consumer.Chapter Two goes into the players in the financial markets who either provide financing or make the markets. You get to see the big institutional players such as insurance companies, banks, and others that are involved on Wall Street and Main Street.Chapter Three starts the meat and potatoes portion of the book, where you are introduced to the self-directed IRA and how you can benefit from converting to one. I give you information on the difference between a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and one where you control what you purchase (self-directed IRA). This chapter is the whole basis for the rest of the book.Chapter Four is all about various products and ways you can generate cash flow for your account or yourself, if you choose. I go over various ways you can get into real estate, products such as annuities, insurance, life settlements, and so much more. This chapter is about creating a long-term strategy and describes some short-term products with varying risks; it is also the longest portion of the book as it's about chess, not checkers.Chapter Five ends with ways you can protect your newfound wealth and pass it on if you're looking to create generational wealth. I give you information in creating trusts, having insurance, and even ways to keep your ex from getting a check if you're divorced. All of the other chapters in this book are packed with great information for anyone seeking to get out of the rat-race, and I suggest you read and tell a friend to tell a friend.

What goes through the mind of a criminal? Is it really all that different from you and me? If they too bleed red, do they not also feel the same pains as other people? Do they not also desire to attract the same things - like security, connection, success...even love?When you read the words, the private thoughts and feelings of Harry Hardcore, you might forget that he doesn''t get to go home at night, that he hasn''t (for years) had a vacation or spent any holidays with his family - and may never do so again. It may be hard to imagine how bizarrely different his life is from yours because his emotions are so familiar that they could easily be your own.
