On December 3, 1996, at 4:10 pm, Judge Michael Lyon of the District Court of Weber County, State of Utah, sent a man to prison for a crime committed and confessed to by another man. Prior to imposing the final sentence, Judge Lyon made the following remarks: "e;I don't know that there is a more difficult case where a judge does more soul searching in a case where a person staunchly denies culpability and at every turn in the system pleads his innocence. We know that there are cases where people are punished for crimes they didn't do. It would just be utterly repugnant for me to think that I could send a man to prison for a crime that he did not commit... I only wish I could look inside your heart. I can't... And the only thing I can do today is do what I think is the right thing to do. And I don't know what's right..., and so I'm just doing the best that I can."e; His best sent an innocent man to prison for five years, placed him on a state sex offender registry for ten years, and was a life sentence of hatred and abuse because of a fabricated label and conviction. Innocence Beyond the Glass House-A Story of Injustice and the Final Battle for Freedom is the beginning and ending of the story. It's the truth about how one innocent man suffered then lived to tell the tale. It's a book about rebirth and trying to find peace and discovery that came at great cost. It's a look at the criminal justice system at its worst and shows how Lady Justice is not only blind but habitually deaf and dumb. This work is about survival, self-reflection, the indomitable human soul, and about love then hate, friends then enemies, acceptance followed by complete rejection from every segment of humanity, while exhibiting unparalleled endurance and hope and confidence in divine beings, which gave the author the capacity to abide lifelong suffering.

"e;I cannot make sense of this data from Sine,"e; said John Djerassi, the genomic profiling expert. He looked at Samuel, slightly puzzled. "e;I have never seen so much woman in any sample before."e; He gave a lopsided smile and continued, "e;Looks like the perfect woman."e;*****It should have been an easy case for Samuel, a New York traffic police officer. His boss told him to just get rapid closure with a perfect report, something to bolster his resume for a transfer to a better post. But when Sine died a violent death, Samuel suddenly finds himself embroiled in a scheme far beyond anything he ever dreamed-murder, human trafficking, and more, a sinister use of modern biological sciences to unleash a viral war leading to the extinction of all people. Except those of a certain kind.

Poems to heal the soul (Holocaust themes, the power of touch)

A sad happy man I am. You will be laughing and crying at the same time when you read many of my self-criticizing and pessimistic writings of life's little struggles in poetic form. But I always can find a reason and be willing to accept the outcome or find a compromise to make everything okay. I try and find present-day/year situations from love, sex, and the struggle of addiction to all and everything that life has to offer. Peer pressure is real, but that's the easy way out or in. To be accepted by the majority, so it seems at the time, is a bad lesson to learn the hard way. Luckily, I thought of a way to express it to everyone-the good in my higher power and the bad in this troublesome world.Here is just a little taste of what you will get if you buy my "e;bio."e; This one is called Bye. I've wasted my whole life. Now, I just sit here and sigh. All the abuse to myself just makes me want to cry. It's too late to fix it now. So why should I even try? Everything that I thought was fun, I know now that it was all a fucking lie. So one day, probably soon, now, there won't be anything left.Now, while I still have a chance. I would like to say to you all, "e;Good fucking bye."e; That is just a short version of an addict thinking. Please just check it out. There will be at least one or two that you will find relevant for yourself or someone you know. Thank you for your time and consideration. Robert "e;Bobby"e; Loyd.PS: More to come if y'all like this one. Later.

Have you ever wondered if there is anything to the concepts of God, religion, and miracles? Are you the kind of person that doesn't just want to stick their head in the sand and be duped by someone who says "e;You just need to take a leap in the dark and believe"e;? I hear you. Or perhaps you are a Christian, but you have some doubts. I want to share the evidence for Christianity in a succinct, readable (with a slight touch of humor), and compelling way using the concept of American jurisprudence, which demands good reasoning but not necessarily one hundred percent proof to make its case. Average, commonsense people live this way all the time, and this book is for them. This book will benefit the average Christian, giving valuable information in a memorable way so that they can share their faith with confidence. It will also benefit those who don't know Christ yet by its brevity, clarity, and persuasive nature. I begin talking about common sense using American jurisprudence and the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. I then make a case using common sense to gradually move a person down the line from unbeliever to believer. I first help the atheist see why it is more reasonable to be an agnostic. Then I aid the agnostic in realizing it is more fitting to be a theist (a believer in a supreme being) than to stay agnostic. Next, I assist the theist into embracing Christianity. If there is a God, then it makes sense that He would reveal Himself in such a way that we don't have to wander in the dark all our lives. Then I cover the thorny question of properly interpreting the Bible. I conclude with a satisfying answer to the legitimate question of why an all-powerful and all-loving God would allow so much evil and suffering in the world. Is there evidence for God and Jesus? I think you will be surprised.

ABOUT THE BOOKAfter reading the draft manuscript of this book, Rev. Mary Ramerman astutely observed, "e;When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, we were asked to observe social distance and stay home. Vacations, weddings, trips to the mall, dinners out, and baseball games all ended. We were literally sent to our rooms to reflect on how we lived our lives and what mattered most to us."e;The collective wisdom presented in this anthology provides answers to those two important questions. Writers offer a wealth of ideas, shared wisdom, action steps, inspiring stories, and candid looks at real-life situations.

It took me thirty years to write my book. This is my first book to be published. I wanted to share with the world the injustice that my family and many other families had to endure. The justice system is not always right. It tore our families apart. Not even love could fix what had been broken. I pray that something in my book might help the people that have been affected by our case or one like it. Thank you Dana Nachman and Don Hardy for doing the documentary The Witch Hunt. It gave me the incentive to finish my book. Thank you, my children, for loving me, Carol, Johnnie, Tommie, Lisa, and Bryan. Thank you, Rick, for always being there to catch this mother's tears. Yvonne, Pam, and Misty, thank you for holding me together.
