I am half-way through writing a novel. One of the chapters I am currently writing is a prelimiary hearing for a murder trial, set in a scottish court. I am trying to make it as realistic as possible by making the people in the chapter use the right legal language / process etc , so trying to read up on transcrypts of actual court cases in Scotland (ideally murder trials). Is this sort of thing is available online?\n\n(The outcome of the chapter in my novel is the accused being sent to Barlinnie prison on remand - if an example of such a transcrypt is available on the Internet - I will kiss the person that tells me where to find it on the lips. (assuming it is a woman that is)\n\nThanks\n~AN.

This is a link to the offical webpage of scotland's courts. Transcripts may not be aviable for public use, but the court descisions are posted.\n\nhttp://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/

There was a recent case on the news about a death row inmate who was locked up, but just got out because they proved it was another person who did it.  Robert Blake and OJ were not found innocent they were found not guilty which is two different things.  It means the state didn't meet their burden of proof (beyond a reasonable doubt).  If you are looking for cases which a person with a lot of evidence against them was found not guilty then their is plenty of cases.\nIf I were you I would focus my search on cases were there was lots of evidence, but were set free because of procedural issues.  That area is pretty interesting.

Well if you aren't going to do it yourself and trust yourself to do a good job with it - I would suggest you become a member of enotes http://www.enotes.com/siddhartha/5642 - but to be honest you ought to just read the chapter and do the best you can.  Lets just say your not learning what that novel is teaching if you need to use enotes - but hey its your life ;-).\n\nGood Luck!!!

I'd recommend getting a copy from your local library. That way you can have a book to take to class and you won't have to use all that ink printing the whole novel out!

Why not use Yahoo or Google search engines? And the spellchecker 'story'.\n\nhttp://www.victorianweb.org/authors/ebb/browningov.html

The Google Gaelicize Groop: http://groups.google.com/group/gaelicize\n\nScottish Gaelic related, the group differs from most other groups of the name by non-mercenary way of seeing the problem dealing with. \n\nEnthusiasts ready to share their precious teaching/learning experience and painfully gathered Gaelic learning materials are welcome!\n\nWe have www and ed2k links to download nearly all audio courses, dictionaries and related books ever issued. Copyright? Hmmm... That you mention it you defenitely want Gaelic to die and be buried in a golden coffin...

I was on one several years ago. It was a big drug trial and also money laundering.  I was a little scared because it involved taped recordings from Drug Lords in other countries that had called this big time dealer in NC.  Because I lived more than 2 hours away from where the trial was being held, they put me and others too, in hotel rooms.  We had guards at the hotel.  It was a dangerous case.  We couldn't talk about it outside the courtroom.  Also, what really scared me was the fact that though we were constantly guarded throughout the trial, after it we found the people guilty, the protection was automatically stopped. I wasn't worried until the court bailiffs said that we shouldn't wait around too long at the courthouse.....

Merry Meet!\n\nAn excellent resource to check out is http://www.mysticwicks.com\n\nAlso do a ton of research becasue that's something you will always need to do. Browse through the books at Borders or Barnes & Noble in the metaphysical section. Usually they let you sit down for awhile and skim through them before you buy anything. \n\nMost people hate her but I found Silver Ravenwolf's books to be easiest for a beginner. Most recommend Scott Cunningham instead but I could not understand anything he wrote and I am not unintelligent. \n\nAlso, any tools that you purchase, make sure they are new. If you get anything used, it will have someone else's energy on it. For this reason, I would recommend staying as far away as you can from Ebay for supplies becasue there is no way to guarantee, even with their promises, that the item is brand new. If you order online from Llewelyn (I know I butchered that spelling but it is the same name as the publishing company for Silver Ravenwolf, Scott Cunningham and others) or from local stores, then you don't have anything to worry about.

Well, if you can believe the "crime movies" that you see, the libraries do keep track of the books you check-out.  According to the movies (and also according to newspaper accounts that I have read), the police have gone to libraries and determined the nature of books that suspects have checked-out -- for example, books about poisons -- in order to build a case against someone.  But -- whether a library would do the same research for an Average Joe who just wanted to remember a book that they had read a while back may be a different question!  It may depend on how "nice" your librarian is.  Easiest way to find out -- phone your library and talk to the librarian.  And be "charming" when you call.  (After all, they are our public servants, right?  We pay taxes to pay their salaries.)

How does a person decide to look for a code in paintings? He is an artist too. Writing the code as he claims to find it. I believe the scrolls may be valid but not any code. Its a hoax.

My public library has a set of CD's for learning Gaelic with the Pimsleur method.  This is an all-audio method, and it is pretty good for a beginner.  I think you can download it from Itunes actually.  Or perhaps your public library has it.

There are numerous on line sites to help you with this novel.  Here are a few of them.  Also, if you do a search for the novel on YA, I think you will find that there are quite a few questions about the novel, so they may help you as well.  Best of luck with your work.
