Criminal Mind Review Novels & Stories

“You told me I was keeping a corpse breathing because I couldn’t let go. You pushed me, every time we spoke, to ‘consider her wishes’ and ‘think about quality of life.’ You handed me a clipboard this morning and watched me sign her death warrant.” Clayman flinched at that. Good. “And now?” I went on. “Now she’s walking. Talking. Swearing at your residents and asking me for bacon and coffee. Now you tell me it was just an ‘unusual case’ and these things happen?” His gaze flicked past my shoulder, maybe checking if anyone was recording this. “There will be a full review,” he said. “Of the tests, the documentation, the decision-making process. We’ll bring in an external neurologist if necessary

Criminal cases still dominated the cases that landed on her desk. Emily looked at the photo of her defendant, Jared Detroit. A white serial killer who had murdered five women in Chicago, Emily did not want to grant leniency on the grounds of mental illness or psychological disorders. While the trigger for Jared's crimes may indeed have been psychological issues, the man deserved a fitting punishment. Life imprisonment in a criminal cell was appropriate for him. She put away the case file and moved on to the next one. In a single day, Emily could have up to three court hearings scheduled, as judges did not preside over trials every day, and prosecutors adjusted accordingly.

“Mrs. Grayson, I think you need a therapist. Whatever you went through in prison—” “I’m not crazy,” I snapped, my voice louder than I intended. He paused, his pen hovering over the page. “I know what I saw,” I continued. “That man is not who you think he is. You’re all so blinded by his money, his power, that you refuse to see the monster beneath.” The door opened again, and another officer stepped in, holding a sketchpad. They'd asked me to describe his physical features so they could sketch it out and make sure it matched the Axel Blackwood everyone knew. Because as far they were concerned, there was no way they were the same people.

in a voice that didn’t shake. “Laredo Ares,” the judge began, her voice a gavel of cold, impartial justice. “For the crimes of racketeering, assault, and the systematic psychological and physical abuse of a minor under your care… you are sentenced to life in a maximum-security facility, without the possibility of parole.” A collective sigh escaped the gallery—a sound of relief from a public that had been horrified by the details of the “Contingency Fund.” Laredo didn’t flinch. He simply turned and allowed the bailiffs to lead him away. As he reached the door, he stopped. He didn’t turn his head, but I saw his shoulders shift. He knew I was there. He knew I was watching.

"The judge is doing a final review of the psychological evaluations. Yours and Vivienne’s." That got my attention. My head snapped toward him, my pulse spiking. "The evaluations? You said the drug evidence was the final nail. Why is she looking at my psych report again?" "Calm down," Caleb said, holding up a hand. "It’s standard procedure in high-conflict cases. I made sure your file is clean. It’s the version the world is allowed to see. The dedicated father, the disciplined executive. There’s nothing in there about... the other things."

"I know. The rage, the desperation—none of it excuses taking innocent lives." "They weren't innocent," Rick said quietly, surprising them all. "I ran deeper background checks while you were... talking to your brothers. Jonathan Mercer was under investigation for embezzlement. Thomas Wainwright had two restraining orders filed against him for stalking. David Chen was facing sexual assault charges that got dismissed on technicalities." Casie stared at her partner. "You knew?" "I suspected the victims weren't random, but I didn't know why until tonight." Rick's expression remained carefully neutral. "It doesn't justify murder, but it explains the selection criteria."

MR GAY AND I EPILOGUE PART 1 Jackson and Allison were watching TV when the news about Benson came. "This is the criminal case news brought to you by CC channel. Benson Dawson who was sentenced to life imprisonment and some time in the psychiatrist hospital is now going to serve his time. Reports from the hospital had it that Benson was kept there for ten months and during his stay there, he was vicious and he had to be tied down, sometimes starved because the caregivers were scared he'd kill them. Benson looks like a person with mental problems. I saw him with my own eyes, so it's true that if you spend a some time with people with mental health problems you'll get it too. Despite the fact t

Charlotte raised her eyebrows calmly. “What’s so serious about it? I’ll be fine?” The policewoman was rendered speechless while the corners of her lips twitched. She replied sternly, “Sigh! You really don’t know! Let me tell you about it then. Four years ago, you were classified as a felon because of the attempted murder of Ms. Larson. Even Virginia, who was executed a few days ago, hadn’t been classified as a felon. In other words, you’re definitely looking at the death penalty here. Mr. Connor managed to bail you out the last time you were locked up in here. But I’m afraid that even Mr. Connor won’t be able to save you this time around!”

I have seen so many different people's denials with reasoning such as ‘the severity of the current offense’ (as if the severity would change year to year). The last I heard the current group was handing out three year hits like candy. A three year hit is considered a deferral. That means that person will not be reviewed again for another three years. Plus when you pay close attention to the actual parole rates, about a hundred and twenty people go up for review each month, on average maybe three people will make it each month and sometimes that includes guys over the age of sixty five that are considered geriatric releases.That alone is enough to take the wind out of people’s sail.

The sheet made him shuffle awkwardly towards the bathroom and slowed him down. He didn’t like her being out of his sight, but he also didn’t want her listening to their conversation. He didn’t want her to know what he knew. She may have been a victim once. But when a captor inflicted enough damage onto a victim, they could become the criminal too. He hoped he was wrong, but Craig’s words made that hope fade. Alrick didn’t know what he’d do if he needed to find her guilty. He’d need to hand her over to NARC officials for a fair trial. Alrick hated himself for thinking of it.
