Lies Carved in Stone
In the heart of the ancient kingdom of Virelia stood a monument unlike any other. A towering obelisk, obsidian black and etched with symbols too old to decipher, loomed over the square in the capital city of Iskareth. The locals called it the Pillar of Truth. For generations, people believed that the stone bore the laws and virtues upon which the kingdom was founded — justice, unity, and honor.

No Motive, No Mercy
The rain fell hard over Hollow Bridge, a small town nestled in the shadows of the Cascade Mountains. The kind of place where everyone knew everyone—or thought they did. Life moved slow there. Predictable. Until the night of the Hollow Bridge killings.

The Judas Witness
The wind howled over the desolate plains of Aeloria, sweeping the dust of forgotten empires across the blood-stained stones. In the ruined chapel of Saint Kallan, a lone man knelt before a shattered altar. His name was Varek, once a priest, now a hunted man. In his trembling hands, he held the Judas Witness—a small, obsidian relic etched with runes too ancient for memory.

The Final Signal
The rain hammered down relentlessly, drumming against the windows of the sprawling bungalow nestled in Lahore’s upscale Gulberg district. Outside, the streets glistened under flickering streetlights, the city’s restless heart still beating even in the dead of night. Inside, however, a chilling silence reigned.

Cold Case Cathedral
Detective Elise Marlowe stood at the foot of St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral, watching as winter light slanted across its stone towers. It was just after dawn, and mist rolled low around the steps, blurring the carved saints and angels that loomed overhead. The cathedral bells began their mournful toll, sending tremors through the frost-covered air.

The Corpse Code
In the neon glare of Sector 12, rain sluiced off high glass towers and trickled into narrow alleys where secrets lay in wait. Detective Mira Han zipped her leather coat up to her chin, her cybernetic eye scanning through data streams only she could see.

Ashes of the Innocent
The wind carried the scent of burning wood and something far more bitter—ashes of the innocent. A grey haze hovered over the ruined village of Elmsreach, where homes once stood proudly, gardens bloomed with lavender, and children’s laughter echoed through cobbled streets. Now, silence ruled. A heavy, accusatory silence that weighed on the shoulders of the lone survivor.

Poison in the Prayer Book
The year was 1523, and the air in the Abbey of Saint Margaret was thick with the scent of incense and damp stone. Tucked high in the Cotswold Hills, the abbey had weathered the storms of kings and commoners alike. Within its cloistered walls, the brothers followed the Benedictine rule, their days marked by silence, prayer, and routine.

When Justice Fails
Justice is supposed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. But sometimes, the system that promises fairness delivers something else entirely—misjudgment, bias, and irreversible consequences. Every time an innocent person is convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, it sends shockwaves not only through their life but through the entire framework of trust we place in the courts. These aren’t just headlines. These are real stories of wrongful convictions that show what happens when justice fails—and why it matters for all of us.

How a Small Town Covered Up a Major Crime
Small towns often carry a reputation for charm, closeness, and quiet streets. But sometimes, behind that peaceful surface lies something darker—secrets people are willing to bury to protect their own. In many places, it’s not the size of the crime that determines justice, but the power of those involved and the fear of shattering the town’s image. I never expected to witness it firsthand, but I did. And what I saw changed how I see justice forever. This is the story of how a small town covered up a major crime—and why no one ever talks about it.

The Jessica Lal Murder: When Power Pulled the Trigger
**Hello guys, my name is Asad Taizai and welcome back to another case study with me.** On the night of **29th April 1999**, a crime occurred that involved some of the most powerful people in the country. And as we all know, when it comes to power, the scales of justice often tip in favor of the influential. There seems to be a different law for common people and a completely different one for the rich and politically backed. I'm not just saying this without basis—we all remember the **Pune Porsche case**, the **Jiah Khan case**, and the **RG Kar Medical case** where money and power were used either to delay justice or deny it entirely.
