Andrew Borden’s 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie, was present in the house at the time of the
murders. She was arrested a week later. Although Lizzie was acquitted (in fact, Massachusetts
eventually elected to not charge anyone with the murders), her name remains inextricably linked to
the case, and she lived out the remainder of her life as a shunned member of the Fall River
community.
Galileo was found guilty, and the sentence of the Inquisition, issued on 22 June 1633,[53] was in three essential parts:
● Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at
the center of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as
probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse, and detest" those
opinions.[54]
● He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition.[55] On the following day this was commuted
to house arrest, which he remained under for the rest of his life.
● His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was
forbidden, including any he might write in the future.[56]
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon
Martin, an unarmed black teenager, igniting a national debate on racial profiling and
civil rights, was found not guilty late Saturday night of second-degree murder. He was
also acquitted of manslaughter, a lesser charge.

ROOM
To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world.
It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives
with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep
and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the
wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old
Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison
where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years.
Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce
motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she
knows it's not enough ... not for her or for him. She
devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young
son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not
realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to
actually work.

THE GIRL WHO FELL FROM THE SKY

This debut novel tells the story of Rachel, the daughter


of a Danish mother and a black G.I. who becomes the
sole survivor of a family tragedy. With her strict African
American grandmother as her new guardian, Rachel
moves to a mostly black community, where her light
brown skin, blue eyes, and beauty bring mixed attention

her overwhelming grief and confronts her identity as a
biracial young woman in a world that wants to see her as
either black or white.
