George Perrot's Case Summary
George Perrot Wrongly Convicted by One Hair
Suspect not identified
George Perrot
George Perrot spent 30 years in jail after being convicted of the burglary and rape of a 68 year old woman in massachusetts, despite forensic evidence and the victim stating that the 17 year old Perrot looked nothing like her suspect. He was convicted merely because a single hair of his was found on the bed sheets. After being in jail for 30 years, Perrot was released when the case was revisited for three prosecution errors made by Wayne Oakes, the “expert” hair analysis on the case.

    Antonio Richard Rochin Case Summary

    The action of the police officers were completely wrong, both legally and morally. The officers violated Antonio Richard Rochin’s 4th, 14th and 5th Amendment rights. The officers never obtained a warrant to enter and search Rochin’s residence; therefore, making any evidence discovered inadmissible in court. In addition they violated Rochin’s 4th Amendment rights, and no one should have their home broken into by those who’s jobs are supposed to protect us based on some hearsay evidence. It would be understandable if these officers had enough evidence to create probable cause to create enough reasonable suspicion to get a warrant before searching Rochin’s house. Instead the officers chose to take the law into their own hands by “jumping…

    Ramon Flores's Case Summary

    On May 24, 1992, Ramon Flores was working at a gas station that was getting robbed and was shot and killed. The man charged with his murder was Michael R. Pulido. He was charged with first degree murder along the felony murder law. That law states that killing during the act of a felony, in this case a robbery, is automatically first degree murder. The way I have interpreted the facts of this case, the defendant was the one who pulled the trigger and point toward him as the killer. To come to this decision, the jury had to conclude that the defendant had intent to commit a felony, killed during the act of a dangerous felony, and that the victims death was a foreseeable outcome of the felony.…

    Summary Of Walter Dean Myers's Monster

    In his novel Monster, Walter Dean Myers demonstrates the complexity of the justice system, and how people can be tried unethically. The characters, Bobo Evans, Steve Harmon, James King, and Osvaldo Cruz all differ in magnitude of guilt and involvement, but were tried either too harsh, or let off too easily. What differs in each person’s case is attributed to biases including age, race, and cooperations with the police. The first poorly tried suspect in this felony-murder case was Osvaldo Cruz. Osvaldo is a fourteen year old boy who helped out in the robbery, but claimed it was in fear of the suspects that drove him to do this. Osvaldo gave tips to the police, helping them out with the crime. Due to this fact and his young age, he was not tried…

Weeks later, Caylee’s body was found in a wooded area not too far from their house and Casey was being held for the murder of her daughter. Casey claimed her daughter had accidentally drowned in their pool and as a result, she became panic-stricken and did not know what to do, she acted as if the drowning never happened.

    Analysis Of The Article 'Is Failing To Protect Teenage Girls'

    In this article, the issues surrounding the mishandling of rape cases by police officers and other officials are discussed. The source examines the investigation in the Rehtaeh Parsons case, or lack thereof, as the charges were easily dismissed and the boys accused never questioned. It relates Rehtaeh’s case back to that of Amanda Todd, who also committed suicide after explicit photographs of her were published online. The article shows the juxtaposition between the two cases, noting that even though they took place on opposite ends of the country, they are both eerily similar in a number of characteristics,…

    Eyewitness Testimony Essay

    “In 1984 Kirk Bloodsworth was convicted of the rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl and sentenced to the gas chamberan outcome that rested largely on the testimony of five eyewitnesses. After Bloodsworth served nine years in prison, DNA testing proved him to be innocent. Such devastating mistakes by eyewitnesses are not rare, according to a report by the Innocence Project, an organization affiliated with the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University that uses DNA testing to exonerate those wrongfully convicted of crimes” (Arkowitz & Lilienfeld, 2010). This is one case of how eyewitnesses can go wrong this was the story of how a man who was wrongly convicted because of someone who was an eyewitness. This story is one of many people who have been prosecuted under false accusations. There are a few things that can contribute to falsely convicting an individual like the witness being under a lot of pressure and stress when trying to properly identify someone. They witness could also be effected if there was any type of trauma or the perpetrator could be wearing a disguise, with a mask fake hair of sunglass that takes way from making identification. Also race can play a major role in what the witness…

    eyewitness testimony

    Within the past 30 years crimes were committed, and the people who witness these crimes made the cases have different outcomes. It used to be when a crime was committed, and someone came forward saying, “They have witnessed a crime”. History shows us when it comes to a traumatic experience dealing with crimes; the victims are different and as such react in many different ways. Most individuals panic, some are very calm, while others have no reaction whatsoever. The question has been raised about how reliable an eyewitness testimony truly is. Those who follow crime and courts trials know the stories are familiar and unnerving. Here is one case Cornelius Dupree spent 30 years Texas prison due to a 1979 rape and robbery he did not commit, because of one eyewitness. Cornelius was freed in 2011 through new DNA evidence. Derrick Williams imprison in Florida was freed through DNA evidence after spending 18 years in prison for a rape based on one eyewitness misidentification. Johnny Pinchback, a Texas inmate convicted of a 1984 rape based on one eyewitness misidentification he was freed through DNA testing after 27 years in…
