North of Port Arthur, he entered the home of a couple he briefly met as a child. Inside he started his rampage, shooting them both. Once he arrived at the Historical Site Port Arthur he ate a meal at the Broad Arrow Café.

Within the first 90 seconds, 20 people had died and 12 were injured. The man then moved to the adjacent car park, where he shot and killed four more people and added to the toll of injured people as well. After shooting at people in the grounds of the Historic Site, he maneuvered into his car and drove up the former main entrance road to the original toll booth. In this area, seven more people were killed in two separate incidents, during which he stole a victim’s car and abandoned his own. Driving north to a General Store, he killed another person and took one hostage then drove back to the place of his first killings, firing random shots at vehicles along the way. At the house, he continued to set fire to the stolen car and then took his hostage inside. Through the afternoon and night, shots were fired at police officers on the scene.

Lindbergh and his wife Ana discovered the ransom note in their son’s room. The note demanded $50,000 for the return of the child. The kidnapper was very clever, using a ladder to sneak up to the child’s room and snatch him. He had left clues, however they were all false. Everyone wanted to help find the missing baby, even though locked up, Al Capone had offered his help. A few days later, another note showed up; this time demanding $70,000. This time the kidnapper seemed serious, giving a time and place to drop off the money. They told the Lindbergh’s that their child was on a boat called the Nelly off the coast of Massachusetts, but after long hours of searching nothing was found, no boat and no child. Shortly after, baby Charles Lindbergh III’s body was found not far from the Lindbergh’s mansion. The family was so heartbroken that they moved away after donating their mansion to charity. “The kidnapping looked like it would go unsolved until September 1934, when a marked bill from the ransom turned up. The gas station attendant who had accepted the bill wrote down the license plate number because he was suspicious of the driver. It was tracked back to a German immigrant and carpenter, Bruno Hauptmann.” When the detectives searched Hauptmann house, they found a large portion Lindbergh’s ransom money. He tried denying it but there was plenty of evidence proving he was the kidnapper. Besides the money, the handwriting on the ransom not seemed to closely resemble Hauptmann’s. Although the prosecution’s case was weak, there was still enough evidence to convict Hauptmann. He was then electrocuted the following year. “In the aftermath of the crime--the most notorious of the 1930s--kidnapping was made a federal…

    Al Capone. Everyone is bound to hear the name at least once in his or her life. The charming, broad smile, the greenish gray eyes, heavy set, and five foot ten and a half; a seemingly normal man. Until someone notices the scars. A faded purple, still fresh looking, Al Capone’s scars marred the normal face, they gave a glance into the life of the notorious gangster. But who was Mr. Alphonse “Scarface” Capone? One reporter comments, “… Here is a man [Capone] who is an enigmatic, a man who nobody knows, not even his closest intimates.’” (Eig 198) What did the public think of “Scarface”?

    The term modus operandi is most commonly used in criminal cases. It is sometimes referred to by its initials, M.O. The prosecution in a criminal case does not have to prove modus operandi in any crime. However, identifying and proving the modus operandi of a crime can help the prosecution prove that it was the defendant who committed the crime charged. Modus operandi evidence is helpful to the prosecution if the prosecution has evidence of crimes committed by the defendant that are similar to the crime charged. The crimes need not be identical, but the prosecution must make a strong and persuasive showing…

    I am your typical pseudo intellectual liberal, but don’t get me wrong pop culture does not turn me off. Mention the Kardashians and I won’t run away in disgust, roll my eyes, or give you the side eye. My google searches range from ‘Is twerking a good exercise?’ to ‘What is Putin’s economic/political interest in Syria?’. I don’t find Woody Allen films boring and I don’t think Sharknado is trash. I will argue with any film snob about why the entire Shrek series is more profound than de Sica’s The Bicycle Thief. As you can see I am all over the place as far as my interests, but the most is race. This topic turns off many people and perhaps you’ll read many personal statements about the struggle of being a minority in America, but my story is not that of roadblocks and discrimination but that of enlightenment. Like many of my fellow white passing Hispanics I have used my light complexion to shield myself from racism and my culture.…
