Commerce Essay
Justice is a concept that involves the fair and moral treatment of all people. Generally, it means giving individuals what they actually deserve or are entitled to. Justice is the main foundation within most systems of law. Essentially justice is made up of fairness and equality. The first case shows a woman that killed her two children and then attempted suicide. Upon further inspection they found that she was dealing with financial issues, abuse from her husband and psychological issues. The second case is about another woman who killed her two daughters and then proceeded to murder her sister-in law. A further insight shows that she was going through a severe case of depression, a problematic marriage and sexual abuse. Both the accused had been distributed justice and received punishments that were fair regarding personal circumstances.
Carol Anne Hall had smothered her two children Kristal (4), and Travis (2) with a blanket and repeatedly tried to kill herself. The next day she was found incoherent cuddling her dead children and later told police that she wanted to be with her babies. The father of the children was an alcoholic and told Carol of the affairs he had been having. He provided no emotional, financial or physical support to the family. The judge dealing with the case (Judge Yeldham) showed his consent saying ‘If ever there was a case where justice might properly be tempered with mercy, this is one’. He believes the mother still cared for her children and committed the actions under the influence of her severely depressive state. Yeldham declared the killings as manslaughter and no jail sentence was given.
Judge Yeldham didn’t jump to any conclusions during The Carol Anne Case and didn’t assume she was a murderer right way. Any Mens rea was not done in her right mind and was disregarded due to the psychological condition she was in. The judge was aware of the state she was in and the abuse she had
