Download Murder Creek: The "Unfortunate Incident" of Annie Jean Barnes AudioBook Free
On a chilly night in semester of 1966, Annie Jean Barnes left her home in East Brewton, Alabama, to spend time at a private fishing camp managed by a local doctor. Significantly less than 48 time later she was hospitalized - beaten and abused. Within weekly, she was dead. And, it could seem, willfully forgotten by the citizens of Brewton - a lot more prosperous area on the west part of Murder Creek - who soon emerged to make reference to the fate of Jean Barnes as an "regrettable incident." The 2003 publication of Suzanne Hudson's novel In a Temple of Trees lifted the ghost of Annie Jean. Present at Hudson's premiere publication putting your signature on in Brewton, Joe Formichella satisfied Barnes' making it through children and became migrated to tell the story in full. Who was simply culpable because of their mother's death? The city physician who managed the camp? The government bodies who mishandled the next investigation? Experienced there been a cover-up? With so much proof either contradictory or mysteriously absent, was there now in any manner to bring anyone to justice? Formichella, in seeking those answers, found instead a more substantial question: what would justice imply for a community built as though it were a working social model for several principles arranged down in the deeply flawed Alabama talk about constitution - a record penned in 1901 by rich land-owners and politicians, seeking to keep carefully the riff-raff at bay? Systems of justice, in Alabama, and throughout America, should be designed to protect accurately those citizens too poor to wield any kind of influence. This is the story of any breakdown in that system, a clarion call for its modification, and a ray of expectation for those who have waited too long for the response to the easy question: who overcome Annie Barnes?
