They stayed in an empty apartment, while the owner was away on holidays.

    Convicting The Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong

    In Brandon L. Garrett's book, Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong, he makes it very clear how wrongful convictions occur and how these people have spent many years in prison for crimes they never committed. Garrett presents 250 cases of innocent people who were convicted wrongfully because the prosecutors opposed testing the DNA of those convicted. Garrett provided simple statistics such as graphs, percentages, and charts to help the reader understand just how great of an impact this was.…

    Zodiac Killer Research Paper

    It has been suggested recently by Gary Stewart, who even wrote a book on the matter, that his biological father was the Zodiac Killer. Though Gary’s father, Earl Van Best Jr., greatly resembles the police composite sketch of the famous killer, he does not match the large, heavyset body type described by the victims (Bergara). Other than his close resemblance, there is not any substantial evidence pointing to him as the killer. Another prime suspect in this case, named Lawrence “Kane” Kaye, has a good bit more evidence than that of the case for Earl Van Best Jr. He is said to have lived near some of the victims and crime scenes, and even worked with one of the victims. Kane had also sustained a brain injury in a car accident in 1962 and his psychologist said that he was “losing the ability to control self-gratification” (Bergara). Later, Kathleen Johns, who claims to have gotten a ride with the Zodiac Killer before managing to escape once he told her he was going to kill her and her child, identified Kane as the culprit (Bergara). However, many say she is not a particularly credible source due to the different versions she has told in the years following the incident (Montaldo). Though a compelling argument, this theory also fails…

    Innocent Or Guilty Case Analysis

    On January 13th 1999, a girl named Hae Min Lee was killed and buried in Leakin Park. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted of this murder case and there are still holes and facts that don’t add up to help the situation. This case was so interesting that a podcast was made to research and try to find an answer. The woman, Sarah, made this podcast and worked on years of research but was unable to come to a final saying on whether or not Adnan was truly innocent or guilty. In my opinion, I feel there is not enough evidence to tell if he is innocent or guilty because of Jay’s story, the call records, and the Nisha call.…

    Philosophical Analysis of 'Gone Baby Gone'

    In Affleck’s brilliantly rendered drama Gone Baby Gone, a young girl is abducted from her mother, in a blue collar area of Boston, Massachusetts. Patrick Kenzie and his girlfriend are private investigators who are called in by the sister-in-law of the abducted childs mother. The neighborhoods in Boston where this crime took place are infamous for their resistance to police operations. Similar to residents of Southie (South Boston,) Dorchester residents keep matters to themselves. With the help of Patrick, he is able to use his status as a private investigator to get information from his local contacts. He finds out Helene was not at home when Amanda was abducted, but was in fact snorting cocaine at a local bar with her boyfriend Skinny Ray. Further information is discovered that Helene and Ray had brought Amanda with them on a drug run into New Hampshire. The police raided their accomplices, leaving the three with the money. Helene tells her boss, the Haitan drug lord Cheese, that the money was taken. In reality, she buried the money in Ray’s backyard in Chelsea. When Kenzie and the two detectives working with him figure this out and arrive in Chelsea, they find Ray brutally murdered, presumably by Cheese. Kenzie meets with Cheese and arranges a meet at a quarry in Quincy. Amanda appears to have been pushed off a ledge and dies. As a result of this, the police captain Doyle retires, claiming responsibility. Several months…

    The constitution is the basis of all criminal law as well as trials and their verdicts. The constitution and the state and federal court systems have been in effect since the nineteenth century. Each and every court case has their own unique processes related to the different courts and how the case made it to any specific one, taking a plea bargain as an alternative to facing trial and what happens to the wrongfully accused will help understand a little more about the ins and outs of trials and verdicts.…

    Victim Witness Case

    In victim witness programs prosecutors provide victims with emotional support, information regarding the criminal justice system, and referrals to social service and legal assistance organizations in effort to promote the victim’s willingness to participate in the prosecution of cases (State of Nevada Advisory Council for Prosecuting , 2006). I will not say that victim witness programs are a waste of time and resources, however I do not think they are necessary. I do not think they are necessary because many domestic violence victims do not want to, or will not participate in prosecuting their offender. I think these types of services only benefits or serves purposes in managing victims that are truly interested in testifying and getting the justice in which they deserve. I do…

    Rights of the Accused

    Despite the United States best efforts in preventing illegal immigration, there are those who manage to cross the border without any legal status, including a green card. Those who do manage to sneak into the United States unlawfully do not have many rights in comparison to actual US citizens. However, when it comes to encounters with the criminal justice system, they have the right to due process of the law. The Fourteenth Amendment was designed to prevent the states from committing oppressive and arbitrary actions against any person. Therefore, illegal immigrants are granted the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Thus, they are granted the rights to a fair and proper trial and cannot be stripped of their life, liberty or property without due process of the law (Stuckey, Roberson, & Wallace, 2006, 22-23). Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886) and Wong Wing v. U.S. (1896) were two cases involved in the rights of immigrants when the courts found that the congressional committee worded the amendments, they worded them to say “any person” not “any citizen”. The language used can make all the difference in who has what rights (Longley, 2013). The main concern illegal immigrants face when brought up on criminal charges and brought before the court is whether or not they face deportation.…

    Rights of Accused

    On Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Due Process is defined as a judicial requirement stating that enacted laws may not contain provisions that result in the unfair, arbitrary, or unreasonable treatment of an individual. In all its complexity due process just simply means the rights of any citizen to certain procedural actions prior to the denial of their civil liberties. Due Process will only permit an accused person time to go through the court proceeding, hoping to prove his or her innocence and/or guilt. Due Process will also give the individuals who have been accused of a crime the right to a fair and public trial, the right to be at the trial, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to be heard. (Due Process . (2012). By Peter Strauss.). The Constitution has always requires that when governments dispossess people of life or liberty or their property, there must be minimal processes for appealing the government 's decision. Not "fair", just reasonable and brief, and uniformly applied. Due Process use substantive to prevent legislatures from enacting laws that drew lines, with respect to an individual’s freedom that the Court considered arbitrary.…
