About the Troy Davis Execution

September 22, 2011 By Alice

Lady Justice: Petition for a Writ of Certiorari denied for Zeigler on May 19, 2014.

Last night, I too was watching the news to see if Troy Davis would get executed or not. The case is discussed online on various places and blogs. So why this post? Because something irritated me. People forgot that we have a separation of powers. People asked some to do what they could not because they […]

Author Notes

Since 2009, I write about unsolved cases that need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigations to the authorities.

My posts cover homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to unsolved cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme, tone, and research. It is my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the About page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
