Download As PDF : The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist A True Story of Injustice in the American South Audible Audio Edition Radley Balko Tucker Carrington John Grisham foreword Robert Fass Hachette Audio BooksThis is a tale of two tragedies.
At the heart of the first is Dr. Steven Hayne, a doctor the State of Mississippi employed as its de facto medical examiner for two decades. Beginning in the late 1980s, he performed anywhere from 1,200 to 1,800 autopsies per year, five times more than is recommended, performed at night in the basement of a local funeral home. Autopsy reports claimed organs had been observed and weighed when, in reality, they had been surgically removed from the body years before. But Hayne was the only game in town. He also often brought in local dentist and self-styled "bite mark specialist" Dr. Michael West, who would discover marks on victim's bodies, at times invisible to the naked eye, and then match those marks - "indeed and without doubt" - to law enforcement's lead suspect.
This leads to the second tragic tale that of Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks, two black men each convicted in separate cases of the brutal rape and murder of young girls. Dr. Hayne's autopsy and Dr. West's bite-mark matching formed the bases for the convictions. Combined, the two men served over 30 years in Mississippi's notorious penitentiary - Parchman Farm - before being exonerated in 2008. Brooks' and Brewer's wrongful convictions lie at the intersection of both the most pressing problem facing this country's criminal justice system - structural injustice built on the historic foundation of race and class as well as with the much more contemporary but equally egregious problem of invalid forensic science. The old problem is inextricably bound up with and exacerbates the new.
In The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington write a true story of Southern Gothic horror - of two innocent men wrongly convicted of vicious crimes and the legally condoned failures that allowed it to happen. Balko and Carrington will shine a light on the institutional and professional failures that allowed this tragic, astonishing story to happen, identify where it may have happened elsewhere, and show how to prevent it from happening again.

"Unfair. Out of control. Corrupt. A travesty of American justice. Venal. Self-serving. These descriptors barely carve a small chip off the surface of the list of infractions committed by and under the aegis of the US judicial system. The extent of the rot eating at the base of the already rotten legal edifice is - for those that still believe in the concept of "rule of law" and impartial, reasoned, balanced application of impartial, reasoned and balanced laws - almost beyond cataloguing. So instead, Balko and Carrington have selected one little microcosm from a very broad potential palette of connivance, and warped, perverted, distorted applications of pseudo-science and presented it in a concise, interesting and valuable book. Stories chosen from a veritable rogues' gallery of distilled garbage issuing forth from an imaginative "Chuckie" of the dental profession (Michael West) and a blood-sucking barber-surgeon cum pathologist, Steven West, aided by prosecutors and DAs, "The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist" illustrate the enormity of the problem.
By this point in 21st century America, only the most inveterate optimist or intellectually besotted citizen could imagine that the legislative, judicial and enforcement bodies in this country maintain any reasonable degree of fealty to the ideal presented to the general public. The arc of destiny may bend toward justice, but it will evidently only converge with it in another space-time continuum.
The corruption of our democratic ideals may have reached it's apex with the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, but it most certainly didn't begin in 2016. Balko and Carrington take care to describe the history of ,and oftentimes muddled distinction between, a coroner (an elected and not necessarily medically qualified and/or competent official) and a board certified physician expert in medical forensics. That's a core distinction and serious problem featured in this book.
The plot line in "The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist" is constructed on the stories of two black men of the "lower classes" in rural Mississippi. Lest the reader think that the judicial and law enforcement rush to judgement (one based on prejudice, racism, convenience, and expediency - all buttressed with bogus claims on the uniqueness of bite marks and assembly line quality, dry-lab, slipshod, negligent autopsies proffered by avaricious, egomaniacal snake oil salesmen, Drs. West and Hayne) is confined to benighted rural pockets of the Deep South, consider the famous case of Steven Avery, a white man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Avery served 18 years in prison on a wrongful conviction for sexual assault and attempted murder. He was fully exonerated by DNA evidence, as was also (eventually) the case for the men featured in this book. Seeking restitution (if that's even possible), Avery took legal action against the county. Not to be outdone, law enforcement pulled a Trump and counter-attacked: in 2005, Avery was arrested on charges of murdering a local photographer and was convicted in 2007. It was a frame-up relying in large part on pseudo-scienc, just like the multiple false convictions in Mississippi and elsewhere. Take it as a given that the Great Panjandrum propelling the cases in "Cadaver King" (the distinguished Mr. Hood) has yet to acknowledge either his own perfidy and his manifest and deliberate ignorance of his responsibilities as an attorney general (and he's a Democrat!)
What Balko/Carrington and Ricciardi/Demos and many, many others convincingly convey is that this is a "world gone wrong". The fact that no meaningful changes have occurred despite intense publicity conveys the fact that those who write the laws and those that enforce them don't care about the perversions of justice they perpetuate, nor do they seemingly grasp that the two-tiered judicial system (you get the best justice your money can buy) is untenable. That conclusion is made explicit in the book and in Balko's many columns in "The Washington Post". He and other investigative journalists, concerned lawyers (there are a few) and a few "folks" are fighting a quixotic battle against "people bending broken rules" (Bob Dylan's phrase). Even the recent involvement of the formidable Koch organization in sentencing reform has hit the impenetrable Van Allen Belt of highly energized, reactionary, corporatist and fear-fueled populist opposition.
The Balko/Carrington book is very well written and comprehensively referenced, especially as the Charlatan Kings are extremely litigious. So, every claim must be (and has been) carefully researched and referenced. The glaring problem with the book is the absence of an index. A bit more could be offered on the dubious legal background (e.g., the Frye decision) that allows introduction of non-science nonsense as alleged fact. As noted by the authors, leaving this decision to the judicial system (current practice) begs for the type of abuse detailed in this book and assures its continuation into the indefinite future. In other words, many more innocents will be incarcerated and many more "game over" decisions will be made by the ossified and self-important judicial mandarin "deciders". In short, many falsely convicted citizens will rot in jail because that's the system.
As it happens, the constellation of forces favoring swift, "certain", retributive punishment is in ascendance. Efforts by Balko and company appeal to the converted: can you imagine enough open minded legislators and members of the legal/judicial/enforcment professions taking on a system that so many of them profit from? Unlike the legions of falsely convicted and later redeemed heroes of 19th century novels, swashbuckling crusaders for justice aren't on the near horizon. It will take a case of a truly monstrous nature suffered by a popular "People Magazine" cover star (Jay-Z?) to focus public attention on the problem. For everyone else, the Twilight of the Idols may be quickly converging on a legal and social Götterdämmerung"

The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist A True Story of Injustice in the American South Audible Audio Edition Radley Balko Tucker Carrington John Grisham foreword Robert Fass Hachette Audio Books Reviews
- I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Balko and remain
impressed with his intelligence, commitment to accuracy
and truth, and also his drive to protect innocents from
long-standing structural injustices.
This book is a compelling read for many reasons
It is extremely well-researched with footnotes abounding.
It is shocking as one realizes that fact can indeed be
stranger and too often more horrible than fiction.
It tells stories which should never be repeated again in
a modern just society.
It compels anyone with a conscience to take actions to
insure these sorts of things stop and are not repeated.
The Lord compels us to
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.â€
(Isaiah 117)
Mr. Balko and Mr. Carrington are definitely
"on a mission from God" as they help us to seek justice
and correct oppression.
Mission (Being) Accomplished! Well-done!
I would urge anyone with a conscience
and a shred of human decency to
read this book....
and then....to share it with family and friends. - The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist is by turns engaging, depressing, exciting, and enraging—and a monumental work of investigative storytelling about how junk science polluted justice for a generation in one state.
In the hands of lesser writers, this would have simply been a story of good and evil, of heroes and villains. But Balko and Carrington paint a much more nuanced picture, an almost Southern gothic tale. While the titular physician and dentist are exposed for the quacks and frauds they are, the system in which they operated isn't cast as a simple morality tale. Path dependency in the common law (the coroner being an office that traces back to medieval England), the ghosts of the Civil War and Jim Crow, well-intended US Supreme Court decisions, and political factionalism combine to set the stage for a generation-long fraud on the people of Mississippi. Most of all, Balko and Carrington highlight the terrible incentives facing everyone in the state's death investigation and criminal justice system, telling stories of justice gone horribly wrong.
Balko and Carrington have penned a gripping page-turner of an expose that shows both the best and the worst of mankind, and the power of institutions to look past and even condone the morally indefensible. "The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist" is a cry for reform, not just in Mississippi, but in courts and capitols across the country. - Unfair. Out of control. Corrupt. A travesty of American justice. Venal. Self-serving. These descriptors barely carve a small chip off the surface of the list of infractions committed by and under the aegis of the US judicial system. The extent of the rot eating at the base of the already rotten legal edifice is - for those that still believe in the concept of "rule of law" and impartial, reasoned, balanced application of impartial, reasoned and balanced laws - almost beyond cataloguing.

Vaccines A Reappraisal Richard Moskowitz MD Mary Holland 9781510722569 Books Reviews
- This book is profoundly disturbing, as it should be, since having an informed conversation about a topic that so fundamentally challenges our beliefs is hard. The idea that we can and should prevent illness, and that we have a way to do this (by vaccination programs) is so fundamental to modern medicine. But if vaccines don’t even do what they’re supposed to do we are really confounded and faced with a very disorienting dilemma. We thought we knew! We thought we had the answer!
I am reminded of the story of a guy named Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician, who introduced the notion of hand-washing in obstetric clinics, in Germany in the 1840’s. He proved that doing so diminished the rates of maternal death by puerperal infection significantly (maternal death was high in hospitals then when physicians went from dissecting cadavers to delivering babies without washing their hands in between). This was before germ theory was understood, but he had proof that the rates of infection and mortality were significantly reduced if doctors simply washed their hands with chlorinated lime solutions before attending births. Despite various publications of his results, where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. When a paradigm is shifting and we don’t have all the new understanding we need, AND when powerful interests are involved (whether these be pride, smug arrogance, or big money), making changes is difficult. Ironically, we do know a little more about germ theory these days, but it turns out vaccinating people may not be the best way to prevent disease. Au contraire, it seems to be contributing to a new epidemic of chronic and debilitating auto-immune diseases.
Vaccines, A Reappraisal was written by a rigorous physician who has stood up to “business as usual†many times in his career, when he’s seen something dangerous, wrong, or immoral, as well as when the “science of the day†is not matching up to actual results. The evidence he presents in this book more than raises concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccinating people. His suggestions for “moving forward†given current policy are reasonable and thoughtful. One such recommendation (recently implemented in Sweden) is that “all routine vaccinations for children and adults alike be made optional.†His years of careful observation, concern, research, intelligence, compassion and pragmatism are obvious in this book, which I hope will be read and studied by every family physician, pediatrician and parent as they sort out the difficult decisions surrounding one of our society’s most treasured beliefs in modern medicine. In spite of very large and overwhelming issues, he seems dauntless in upholding his place to inform and inspire us to healthy “seeing†in this quagmire of difficult information. He gives us the science by which vaccines are held to a certain standard of truth. He gives us a glimpse into the complexity of human health, even intimating that we might be more than “science.†He clearly has respect for people, their experiences and choices, and he strives to help them live into their own fullness. The penultimate sentence of his book moves me and gives us a sense of the light from which the book is written. Dr. Moskowitz honors “giving full attention to the actual lived experience of [his] patients; recognizing the elements of health and well-being that lie hidden in or [are] inaccessible to them; and offering the relevant science and most suitable medicine to assist and enhance their own innate self-healing capacity.†In short, he cares from a scientific and a moral base that hold human health care to a much higher standard, which makes the vaccine issue worth our very serious contemplation. - Vaccines – A Reappraisal (Skyhorse 2017) is a seminal, earth-shaking work that should be read by every practicing primary care physician and by every parent or parent-to-be of a child. Although I do not agree with every interpretation or proposed solution to the serious questions Dr. Moskowitz raises about vaccines and current policies about them in the United States, the experience represented (50 years of practice) and the research reviewed are a treasure tome worthy of serious consideration. More importantly, questions raised by the author deserve some answers.
I speak from the perspective of being a board certified pediatrician having been in private practice for 31 years and 11 more years as a faculty member of a major medical center teaching pediatric residents in a community teaching program. In 2013 I retired from pediatric primary care to go into practice as an integrative medicine physician and in 2016 achieved a new board certification in integrative pediatrics. Parents often inquire about vaccines, and I will recommend this book for those who have serious questions, along with The Vaccine Friendly Plan (Ballantine Books 2016) by pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas and Ph.D. Jennifer Margulis.
From years of studying both sides of the hot-bed issue that vaccines represent in contemporary society and 31 years in pediatric practice, much of what Dr. Moskovitz describes I was already familiar with. He rightly calls out prevailing practices in the area of informed consent concerning vaccines and many ways in which this long held principle has been sacrificed to what is in essence political correctness about vaccine safety and effectiveness. Simply to raise questions about vaccine safety or of vaccine effectiveness have become “toxic†to the point of subjecting any who dare to question being subjected to various forms of rebuke or outright censure. The prevailing notion that vaccines are, without qualification, “safe and effective†is belied by the available scientific evidence. This is not to be construed that I am “anti-vaccine†as so often is applied to anyone who raises questions. I am among a growing number of experienced and well-read physicians who believe informed consent concerning vaccines and unresolved issues of vaccine safety and effectiveness deserve an open, respectful dialogue. Much of public contemporary debate is polarized, disrespectful, and in too many cases, uninformed.
I would like to challenge in a collegial tone my fellow physicians who deal with vaccines to consider the remarkable material in this book and to be open to a rational process of digging beneath the oversimplified veneer of vaccine safety and effectiveness that dominates our profession. Equally important, I urge you to look carefully at the bedrock corollary issue of Informed Consent. Much can and must be done to improve both of these areas.

"Bought this book before attempting Mt. Shasta and Mt. Rainier. I have a bit of experience with hiking 14ers and a lot of experience backpacking multiple day trips. All the info in this book is great, and the explanations of why to train their way makes sense. Not just for climbing, there are a lot of specific exercises to do for climbing, but I think any long outdoor endurance sport can use the info in this book. Their approach is nice, especially for people like me, where I have a small amount of experience but most of the things in this book they discuss will really hammer home how important it is to train, not just exercise. For the last year(s) I've subscribed to the HIIT 4x4 type programs. This book doesn't have much good to say about that approach. Their exercise plans are built on decades(or centuries) old methods that have worked for athletes way above my level and so should also work for me. Their exercise plans are very flexible and most of the effort to figuring out how much effort and time to put in is up to you, but that's a Pro in my book, and after a good 7 months of training I'll know how well the exercises worked. Will update the review at that time, after comparing to my comrades who are doing the "new" style of training."

- This is an outstanding, thorough, well done training manual for the mountaineer/alpinist. I've read it twice now, and it was even better the second time. It is not a "how to climb" book, that teaches you the knots, steps, and moves, or even a "climbing training" book, in the sense of teaching how to do on-the-rock or on-the-ice training the local rock gym or crag. There are several superb books on those subjects (Gadd's, Houston & Cosley's, Horst's, Long's, Leubben's, and more). House & Johnston is different this book teaches you how to optimize your fitness for climbing, alpine climbing in particular, i.e., to put "more climber" behind the skills you have. The orientation is for both mountaineering and technical alpine projects - whether your goal is winter 14ers, classic alpine routes, Ruth Gorge classics, Andean or Himalayan giants, or anything within that general spectrum of casual outdoor recreation, this is your state of the art training Bible.
And Lord knows, they deliver the gospel and deliver it well. House and Johnston know their stuff, from the theoretical and biological underpinnings of fitness They dispatch the tired and too-often said "just go climbing" - no athlete interested in maximizing performance "just goes climbing/running/riding." It takes more. But "more" does not just mean more often, or harder, or longer. This book tells you what "more" means - it is a thorough explanation of what the physical demands of alpine climbing actually are, what the science tells us about the best ways to train those capacities, and how to put all that together into an executable program. What, when, how much, how often, how long, how heavy, how hard . . . ALL the information you need to get in the best conditions your genes and environment allow is all there. Their treatment of aerobic capacity - why it is so crucial for what we do, and how and how NOT to organize your training to improve it - is worth the price alone.
The book has many more real gems that you can put to use immediately an "Alpine Combine," ala the famous NFL player evaluation combine,that serves as a handy means to assess and grade general fitness; a terrific, do-anywhere core sequence that lives up to its "Killer" name; weighted pullup, hill sprint, and loaded hiking cycles that are worth their weight in gold for the "bang for the buck" they deliver. Even the strength training information is stellar. I say "even," because, as a strength coach myself, I'm often disappointed or shaking my head at the mediocre, phoned-in strength prescriptions in most training-for-a-sport books. I shake it just as often at the currently popular "Crossfit" and its various knockoffs, all of which will make an unfit person much fitter, but all of which, at the same time, amount mostly to "working out to get better at our workouts," which is a far cry from working out to get better at climbing mountains. Not a deficiency here - the strength training information and advice in this book has a clear purpose (strengthen and toughen your musculoskeletal system to execute and withstand the demands of alpinism). House & Johnston lay out the stuff that works, the stuff that is relevant to our game, without cool but ultimately useless gym tricks. You don't have to do Olympic squat snatches, muscle ups on rings, or anything else that would make you ask yourself "Why am I doing this again?" You will be box stepping, leg raising, pulling on tools, etc. - if you have ever climbed anything technical and hard, you will know exactly why you are doing what you are doing. House & Johnston include a very solid menu of general strength exercises, good, clear instructions for those exercises, and some atypical movements that are highly climbing specific. Their strength programming guidance - the loads, sets, and reps that produce specific kinds of strength or strength endurance - are dead solid perfect. No lazy "three sets of 15-20 reps" drivel they understand, provide, and explain the full complement of strength work needed (depending on the phase of training or goal), including circuits for preparatory or work capacity development, max strength sessions, and strength endurance work - all useful, all of which must be trained in very different kinds of workouts.
Planning and programming information is similarly good, but has a distinct "major race" focus. House and Johnston are strong advocates for block periodization - spending sequential blocks of 2-5 months on specific components of fitness, leading to an overarching, major climb. The premise and prescribed approach is similar to, for example, the ideal training one would do for an Ironman, the Boston Marathon, or a championship meet in any similar sport - basically organizing the entire year toward one big audacious goal. That makes their specific planning prescriptions most suitable to climbers who build toward one or perhaps two major climbs or expeditions each year. If you are going to a big range for a bucket-list climb, this is exactly how to be in the best shape of your life for that trip - and why you need to begin that training about a year out. The book is less specific for one whose goal is closer to "high fitness year round." The authors point out, accurately, that it is impossible to be in your absolute best shape all the time - you have to build to that, and peak for it, and they show precisely how. But it would be a mistake to regard this book's value as limited to "training for an expedition." The concepts and workouts can easily be modified and used, in my opinion, by people who are less oriented around some huge annual or semi-annual project, and instead need to stay at a high level of fitness for various climbs and tick lists over their summer rock, shoulder alpine, and winter ice seasons. The authors' base and strength-endurance periods, for example, can be melded into an undulating periodization scheme that varies emphasis and exercise mode by the season, with transitions and 2-3 month builds toward the longer or more important climbs on the calendar. Some of us know how to do that, but I suspect others don't, and I'd like to see House & Johnston in the second edition include at least a chapter for the climber who isn't necessarily preparing for THE BIG CLIMB, but wants to stay in great shape over the course of a typical year and knock out a couple or three dozen significant alpine, ice or rock climbs during that year. Those folks, too, can be much fitter, and climb much better and more safely than if they "just go climbing" and practice random acts of exercise. Would love to see these authors comment on how they would organize the training of the avid weekend or twice-a-month alpinist across the seasons.
Climbers will also appreciate their solid, no-nonsense nutrition section, which provides solid guidance on performance eating during training and on climbs. What they say works, every time, as opposed to "diets with names," which are hit or miss at best, and may work for Jill but not for Jane, and many of which border on stupid for an alpine athlete.
Bottom line Terrific book, well written, well organized, given the breadth of subject covered, and lavishly "iced" with relevant stories and sidebars from many of alpinism's leading lights and superb action photos. If you train to climb mountains, especially big challenging ones, where superb conditioning is a necessity more than a luxury, buy this book. - Bought this book before attempting Mt. Shasta and Mt. Rainier. I have a bit of experience with hiking 14ers and a lot of experience backpacking multiple day trips. All the info in this book is great, and the explanations of why to train their way makes sense. Not just for climbing, there are a lot of specific exercises to do for climbing, but I think any long outdoor endurance sport can use the info in this book. Their approach is nice, especially for people like me, where I have a small amount of experience but most of the things in this book they discuss will really hammer home how important it is to train, not just exercise. For the last year(s) I've subscribed to the HIIT 4x4 type programs. This book doesn't have much good to say about that approach. Their exercise plans are built on decades(or centuries) old methods that have worked for athletes way above my level and so should also work for me. Their exercise plans are very flexible and most of the effort to figuring out how much effort and time to put in is up to you, but that's a Pro in my book, and after a good 7 months of training I'll know how well the exercises worked. Will update the review at that time, after comparing to my comrades who are doing the "new" style of training.
- I've been an amateur climber/mountaineer for 20 years now. I haven't been as active over the last 10 years with career and family duties, but I'm slowly getting back into it. I've found that after a decade of significantly reduced activity that its very difficult to train without hurting myself. This book doesn't really address this issue directly, but it gives a good overview of how to train in general so that you are alert and aware of the quality of your workouts so that you can make adjustments as necessary to prevent injury. It also gives you a realistic outlook on how long and gradual the training process really is. I can't do what I did in my 20's, which was basically train for a month, climb the mountain, and then let my body heal from all the damage I did in the process.
I've always wondered why some mountains went better than others. After reading this book it has become very clear to me what I did right training for certain mountains and what I've done wrong on others. It's all about developing that aerobic base, but in this book it shows you how to really build that aerobic base far beyond anything I've done before by coupling the aerobic training with max strength training. I have not gotten to that part of the training program yet and I'm a little nervous about how my joints will hold up moving that type of strength training. The book definitely seems more catered to alpinists that are already in excellent shape.
I bought this book a couple months ago and am on week 6 now of my tranisition period. My one complaint about this book is the starting volume one should begin with in their transition period is poorly described. For example, I estimated I trained about 5 hours per week last year, which works out to about 260 hours. This is slightly above what they estimate for working professionals. In the transition period it is suggested that we divide our training volume by 2 to get the number of hours per week that we train during transition. That works out to 2.5 hours per week, which isn't much. The strength training workouts last about 45 minutes for me and at twice a week that only leaves one hour for aerobic training, which is supposed to be where we're spending the bulk of our time. I found a post on [...]
where someone asks this question. Scott Johnston answered the question and said that 2.5 hours was not very much and he was wondering why someone would need to exercise that little. He did say that if one were to exercise that little each week then you would not count your strength training sessions towards your training time each week. He did clarify that it's very subjective what your initial training volume should be. However, the subjectivity here becomes so overwhelming that it is extremely difficult to determine a starting point. It would be helpful if there was a little more direction for the non-professional climber.
Overall though most of this book is excellent and will help assist the amateur climber to accomplish things that they once thought were only attainable when they were younger and missed the boat. For someone pushing 40 I find this book to be very encouraging as I now feel there is a way to train where my chances of getting injured are minimized. I would highly recommend this book to anyone I know that is serious about alpinism.
