Martha Stewart Case Summary
Kristina Stockton
Psy220
Intelligence versus Wisdom 1. The situation that I chose for this assignment was, Martha Stewart being arrested for lying about a stock sale. “Stewart, 63, was convicted in March of lying to investigators about why she sold ImClone stock in December 2001, just before the stock price plunged” (NBC News, 2004). Martha is a very intelligent, business woman, but she made a bad decision. 2. Emotional perception and expression- Martha Stewart did not express much upset when it came to her being sentenced with jail time.
Emotional facilitation of thought- when Martha Stewart decided to lie about her stocks and sold them when she got a hint that the market was going to go upside down, she wasn’t thinking about

    Carolyn Howard Case Summary

    During the trial, Carolyn Howard, magistrate of the case, was fair in terms of applying the law. What I perceived about her was that she was a very wise magistrate because she never lost control of the situation. On the contrary, she stayed calm and never said anything with disrespect to others. However, from a moral perspective, I think that the case was not fair with the male who was involved in it since he was not the biological father of the child. If I had the opportunity to change the statute, I would rewrite it in some way that the legal father will be able to disestablish paternity and left him away from any responsibility related to the child. Also, I morally believe that the mother is the one who should be responsible for her acts.…
