    Brock Turner Case Summary

    In the case of Brock Turner and his execrable decision to rape an unconscious woman outside a fraternity house at Stanford University is most appalling and like any crime committed the consequence should be given in order that, that particular offender might have time to reflect on what they have done. In this particular case Turner has proven that the term rape is deemed so little in the eyes of the law. Instead of receiving a six year sentence he was simply given six months in an institution. Six years or six months no matter the sentence that young lady will be forever be scarred by what he has done to her physically, and emotionally.

    Bad Leadership Decisions: Apple Case Study

    Steve Jobs founded Apple as a computer company in 1976 and ran it alongside founders Steve Wozniak, Ronald Wayne and investor Mike Markkula. He was a strong minded visionary and often went against other workers ideas. Many rifts were created within apple because of the disagreements he had with other people about the way projects were being run within the company. Eventually, in 1985 Jobs left Apple after being removed as manager of the Mac project, something he had put together and built up. He acquired Lucasfilm’s animation department Pixar and funded this whilst working on his ‘NeXT’ computer project. He worked at NeXT for a number of years until, in 1995 Apple were convinced by Jobs to buy out his computer company. He then returned to Apple in an informal advisory role at a time when Apple was making the biggest losses since it was founded. In early 1997 after 500 days in the job and over $1 billion in losses the, then CEO was sacked. Jobs agreed to become interim CEO and to take on the responsibility of getting the company back onto the right path. His first move was to dramatically cut the number of products being produced by Apple and focused on a simple matrix structure.

    The Brock-Turner Court Case

    As you may know there are many people enraged about the decision that was made with the case of Brock Turner. Riots and other violent methods have been used to get certain points across; and I believe the best way to appropriately get points across with you is writing a letter. There have been accusations made claiming it was a case of male and class privilege. Was the six-month confinement in a county jail and three years of probation enough for the crime that Brock Turner committed? I understand that sanctions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but sexual assault is something to be taken very seriously no matter the outcome of the situation, in this situation hurting the athlete’s reputation…

    Adnan Syed Case Summary

    The case against Adnan Syed that sent him to jail for the rest of his life was frail and full of holes. On January 13, 1999, Hae Min Lee was murdered at 2:36 PM. The prime witness for the case was a drug dealer, Jay. He said that Adnan was the one who murdered Hae. Adnan was just a 17-year-old kid. He was very well liked and he was not capable of murdering Hae. Adnan’s case was clearly mismanaged because if you look at all the facts, you would find inexplicable gaps in the case against him. After I listened to twelve podcasts about this case for several weeks, I was instantly suspicious of Jay. When I first heard about Jay, I learned that he was a drug dealer and most of the people he knew thought that he often acted strangely. Some people…

    Criminal Court Case Analysis

    Does notoriety affect the outcome of a criminal court proceeding? A trial’s outcome should not be based on the notoriety of it, yet it is. Due to media coverage, the length of the trial, and the notoriety of the people who committed the crime, the outcome of the trial is affected. The Manson trials and the trial of Leopold and Loeb are two prime example of how notoriety can affect a criminal court proceeding. An analysis of two criminal court proceedings, the Manson trial and the trial of Leopold and Loeb, reveals that notoriety does affect criminal court proceedings. Even though criminal court proceedings should be based on unbiased information and evidence, overall, the notoriety of the case impacts it.…
