Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the gripping true story of a bank manager who went from his normal, quiet life into the extraordinary world of crime investigation. He was robbed on the Kings highway in 1832, and in 1833 prosecuted the man accused of murder and robbery committed at the same time. The accused was sentenced to be hanged but was instead transported for life, a fact which weighs heavily on the author's mind. He wonders if he made a mistake in his identification, and if an innocent man has paid the price. Questions of justice eat away at him. The author explores the events leading up to the robbery, provides a detailed account of the trial and its aftermath, and discusses the moral dilemmas he faced as he tried to reconcile his desire to see justice done with his fear that he may have been mistaken. An insightful look at the criminal justice system of the time, this book also provides the author's personal reflections on morality, mistaken identity, guilt, and remorse. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259383123_0
