John Stuart Gladwin Case Study
Miami is alert and on the lookout for John Stuart Gladwin, whose elaborate escape from the local high security prison, has yet again made him the first focus of Florida. Being apprehended just 1 month earlier, after a high stake robbery went south, Gladwin was not keen on sticking around, and escaped last night from the FDC Miami prison, by stowing away in the laundry truck. And so, the hasty, pertinent search for Gladwin begins.
Upon arriving, Gladwin was quick to requested a spot volunteering at the laundry service. After several weeks of studying the trucks schedules, and finding a gap in which no guards would be around, with impeccable timing, after dinner, Gladwin had just seconds to sneak into the large laundry cart that he knew would be loaded onto the next truck into town. Once stowed away in the truck, all Gladwin had to do was sit and wait for the truck to drive away from the jail. Once far enough away, Gladwin jumped out of the moving vehicle and was seen by the

The manhunt has started throughout florida, and the chief of police, George Brown, assures the public that it is their “main priority to catch this dangerous and violent individual, and bring him to justice”, (for a second time). All inmates in contact with Gladwin have reassured the police that none of them knew his intentions, and as Brown established “although Gladwin has no living family, or close friends left in Florida, he is believed to still be hiding out in the Miami area.” A handsome reward of $50,000 is being offered in exchange for useful and precise details of where Gladwin is hiding

    Terry v. Ohio was a court decision made in 1968 that still affects how police conduct their operations to this day. This case gave special liberties to police officers which would otherwise be in conflict with the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment states " the right of the people to be secure in their persons, house, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizure, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized. " The Supreme Court's decision allowing reasonable suspicion of a crime can be grounds for a search, even without probable cause.…

    Nick Pinto’s zealous article, “The Bail Trap” emphasizes how people end up in jail for simply being unable to afford the cost of bail after being tried in court, and the effects jail has on the individuals afterwards. Pinto uses the story of Tyrone Tomlin throughout the piece to demonstrate the effects bail has on a person before they are put in to jail, while they are in jail, and life after jail. Thompsons story shows that though he was innocent but could not afford bail, he was still sent to Rikers Island jail where he was beaten and left with bruises, until he was proved not guilty. Pinto sets a very solemn tone throughout the article, presenting the reader with many real life scenarios of different topics and reasoning’s for arrest.…

    It was a cold October night when I first heard of Fortunato’s case, I was very amused at the thought of someone doing something so unhuman to a person. I guess some people can’t control their actions, but then again those people belong in a mental institution. This case in particular was very peculiar because it had gone five years without being solved. It was about a week ago when our department heard about this case, it wasn’t long before the case landed on my hands. I am after all the best detective in this state something to be proud of course. Going out to the other side of the world to solve a case was something I had never done before but this case was overdue and someone had to do something to the aggressor in order to obtain justice.…

    During the summer of 1895, America was held captive by the search for a family of children believed to be kidnapped at best and murdered at worst by H. H. Holmes. At the time of the search, Holmes was sitting in jail in Philadelphia waiting for his trial for the murder of the children's father, Benjamin Pitezel. Hardworking and driven detective Fred Geyer was assigned to the case, and over the course of the season he followed nine hundred leads all across the Midwest. Finally, in September, “a Philadelphia grand jury voted to indict Holmes for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel... Indiana [for] Howard Pitezel.... Toronto [for] Alice and Nellie” (Larson 369). The locations of the murders of Benjamin, Howard, and Alice and Nellie (Philadelphia, Indiana, and Toronto, respectively) are all hundreds of miles apart, and following the trail of a genius criminal between them was no easy feat. Detective Geyer was able to pursue crimes across the continent, exhibiting widespread determination; not only did Geyer never give up, but the Philadelphia Police Department never withdrew him from the field. Everyone involved in Holmes’ case believed that he had to be incarcerated, and as a result no one let the case drop. The nineteenth century was a time when disappearances were of the least concern and cases often went cold if pursued if all. However, the entire nation was entranced by…
