Steven Truscott's Case
Steven Truscott
Steven Truscott was a Canadian man. He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was sentenced for death in 1959 for the murder of Lynne Harper. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and he continued to maintain his innocence until 2007, when his conviction was declared a miscarriage of justice and he was formally acquitted of the crime. Truscott was scheduled to be hanged. On December 8, 1959; however, a temporary reprieve on November 20, 1959 postponed his execution to February 16, 1960 to allow for an appeal. On January 22, 1960, his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. On November 29, 2001, Truscott filed a section 690 Criminal code application for a review of his 1959 murder conviction.

    Gregory Wessel's Case

    I agree with you that Wessel would win the case against Gregory because Gregory did breach the contract. You make an interesting point about only having to pay Wessel for the $500 in compensatory damages. I still believe that he is entitled to $750 in consequential damages, which is the damages the buyer experiences as a result of the seller’s breach with respect to a third party. Wessel had made special guest appearances as the result of his prior appearance on Comedy Hour. Gregory was aware of Wessel’s guest appearances and it was likely that this sort of loss could occur if Gregory breached the contract. In conclusion, Gregory is responsible for both damages caused to Wessel and entitled to the entire amount of $1,250.…

    Shearman And Sterling Case Study

    As more and more law firms look overseas to expand their business, Shearman & Sterling has managed to keep ahead of competitors by growing gradually and carefully, as Shearman’s increasingly integrated 20 offices are able to conduct complex cross-border work across virtually every key jurisdiction in the world. This was demonstrated in 2013, when the firm advised Grupo Financiero Santander Mexico SAB de CV in the biggest IPO ever in Mexico, despite not having an office in the country. The ability to take advantage of current opportunities by building upon existing office structure instead of rushing into new markets remains one of Shearman’s biggest assets.…

    The Trent Affair

    The Trent Affair

    The Trent Affair, also known as the Mason and Slidell Affair, was an international diplomatic incident that occurred during the American Civil War. On November 8th 1861, the USS San Jacinto, intercepted the British mail packet Trent and removed it as contraband of two war Confederate diplomats, who were James Mason and John Slidell. The envoys were bound for Great Britain and France to press the Confederacys' case for diplomatic recognition by Europe. The initial reaction in the United States was to rally against Britain, threatening war; but President Abraham Lincoln and his top advisers did not want to risk war. In the Confederate States, the hope was that the incident would lead to a permanent rupture in Anglo-American relations and even diplomatic recognition by Britain of the Confederacy. The boarding of the "Trent" was an outrage of a national relationship, which could not escape the anger of all the nations that were bordering on the sea. The British mail packet "Trent", was taken by a person who was too stupid to foresee its bad effect, on the relations which the persons' own country was endeavoring to maintain with Europe. It produced a sensation, which for awhile, seemed to threaten the total failure of coercion. It is not surprising that on getting the full news of the event, President Lincoln said to the attorney general, "I am not getting much sleep out of that exploit of Wilkes, and I suppose we must look up the law of the case. I am not much of a prize lawyer, but it seems to me, that it is pretty clear, that if Wilkes saw fit to make that capture on the high seas, he had no right to turn his quarterdeck into a prize court." The shrewd President saw that Wilkes could not let the "Trent" go free. The President also soon realized that the rash act was very inopportune, as well as illegal. Mr. Seward hurried to communicate with Mr. Adams, the United States minister at London, the stupid suggestion that "in the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell on…

    Steven Truscott: Miscarriage of Justice

    “The only two people that know I am innocent, is myself and the killer.” Imagine being blamed for a crime you did not commit, and nobody would believe you no matter what you said. Steven Truscott had forty-two years of his life taken from him for being charged with a crime he did not commit. He was charged at only the age of fourteen for murdering and raping twelve year old Lynne Harper. He then became the youngest death-row inmate after one of the most famous trials in the history of Canada. Steven Truscott should never have been convicted for the murder and rape of Lynne Harper due to the fact the forensic evidence was questionable the witnesses were untrustworthy and the investigation was insufficient.…

    Chembright’s Case

    The main decision for Chembright is in regards to the pricing of their products specifically bleach, which is Chembright’s main product, and how their main competitor R.J. Poulson is pricing theirs bleach in order to get rid of the competition. This has caused Chembright to be unable to compete at these prices since there isn’t any profit margin for them if they lower their price as R.J. Poulson. Therefore Chembright has to stop the price war with R.J Poulson to be able to maintain their products in these markets. Now Chembright is facing the issue of how to retain their customer’s without lowering their prices, since regardless of any brand loyalty customers will always want to pay less for a product therefore meaning the loss of a large portion of Chembright’s sales.…

    David Walker's Appeal

    David Walker’s Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World is aimed towards African-American slaves and freedmen. His goal was to have all his “brethren”, rise up and fight against slaveholders and farmers. Walker called for vengeance against white men, but he also expressed the hope that their cruel behavior toward blacks would change, making vengeance unnecessary. His message to the slaves was direct; if they were not given liberty, then should take action and rebel. The Appeal caused a stir among slaveholders and slaves. In it, Walker argued that armed resistance was justified and should be used if necessary. As could be expected, slaveholders feared that it would cause slave uprisings. Slaves on the other hand, were encouraged by its message. It was common for groups of slaves to gather and listen to the reading of the text. Depending upon whether one was a slave or a slaveholder, the Appeal had become both dangerous and inspiring.…
