guilty
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time; a look into all aspects of a guilty verdict from the burden of proof to conviction to the judge’s sentence and more.
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.

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.

Dead Man’s Silence
Fog drifted in low across the marshlands, curling around gnarled cypress roots like pale, skeletal fingers. The town of Eddings Hollow lay beyond the mire, tucked away like a secret too terrible to speak aloud. It was the kind of place that wasn’t on maps anymore—not because it had been forgotten, but because people wanted it that way.

The Widow’s Ledger
Rain fell in icy sheets as Detective Mara Voss stepped onto the crumbling porch of the old Ashbury estate. The town of Greystone had nearly forgotten about Eleanor Hargrave — the reclusive widow of the late Charles Hargrave, a banker who’d drowned mysteriously in 1993. Nearly three decades later, Eleanor was found dead in her parlor, a glass of sherry in her hand and a dusty leather-bound ledger on her lap.

Roe Overturned, What’s Next?. Content Warning.
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the landmark Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade was overturned. How will this affect the LGBTQ Community and others, including black, brown, and indigenous people with uteruses? We knew this would happen. It was of no surprise, but we still feel the grief and pain this causes. I’m writing about this not because it’s trending right now but because I’m deeply concerned about this, as it continues to get worse while legislators continue to work hard to ban abortion and contraception.
