    This article is about the kidnapping of Carlina White. Carlina Renae White was born July 15, 1987 and was also known as Nejdra “Netty” Nance. Carlina White was a 23 year old US American citizen who had solved her own kidnapping case at the age of 23. This abduction was known to represent the longest known gap in a non –parental abduction where the victim was returned back to their parents. The story begins when Carlina was just 19 days old when her parents Carl Tyson and Joy white had taken Carlina to the hospital due to her having high fever on August 4, 1987. Unfortunately, they realized that Carlina had swallowed fluid during her delivery and had developed an infection. A woman had overseen Carlina while she was in the hospital however; she was not a hospital employee. This mysterious lady seemed to be normal and had then comforted the parents of Carlina three weeks before the abduction. Baby Carlina disappeared early one morning while the shifts were changing. Unfortunately, the cameras in the hospital where not operating, so the police had nothing to go on but a description from Joy and Carl. The baby was receiving antibiotics when the IV line was cut and she was abducted. One of the hospital guards said that she did recognize the same lady that Joy and Carl described; however, there was no baby with her. The police assumed that the baby could well have been hidden in her smock. This case became the first well known infant abduction from the New York hospital. The city of New York offered a $10,000 cash reward for the return of Carlina. The parents Joy and Carl quickly filed a 100 million dollar suit against the hospital in 1989, and received a 750,000 settlement in 1992. Carlina was raised by Annugetta Pettway in Bridgeport, Connecticut as Nejdra Nance. Throughout the years Carlina grew suspicious because she had no social security card and a forged birth certificate by her assumed mother Annugetta. Carlina also…

    On June 20, 2001 while her husband was at work, Andrea Yates committed what some might perceive as the most repulsive crime in history.

In the Casey Anthony case, the whole world knew that Casey murdered her daughter, but through long days in the court she got out innocent. This is the opposite of what happened to Leopold and Loeb. If the murder were to have gone cleanly without mistakes, their case may have ended like the Casey Anthony case. Because Leopold dropped his glasses in the culvert it left strong evidence that they were the killers. Another mistake was that the car Leopold claimed to be using the day of the murder, actually spent the entire day being repaired at home by his chauffeur.

They also used this tactic (of manipulating people’s emotions) by depicting Casey as a party girl at the nightclubs that wanted to be free of parental responsibilities. (Hayes, 2011) The prosecution also reemphasized a common idea that people can easily forget to use logic when they have a bunch of facts given to them.…

    Casey Anthony Trial

    • 351 Words

    In some ways, the Casey Anthony trial reveals the way that media influence, including the way it is presented online, affects public perception. When one looks at the pages and information that pop up when one searched for information on the trial, a great deal of attention has been given to the way that certain commentators in the media, like Nancy Grace, tried to focus on the inconsistent and, most would say, deplorable behavior of Anthony and the tragedy of the death itself to draw ratings, but far fewer actually focused on the objective legal facts of the case. Thus, when someone sought to find out about the trial, whether through television outlets or online, quite often they were presented with a sensationalistic view of the case, rather than commentary that revealed the problems that the prosecution had with its case, like the lack of an established motive or cause of death, the very issues that prompted the jury to acquit. However, because these issues, or other very basic legal concepts like reasonable doubt, were not given their proper coverage during the trial, most people were outraged with the verdict and believed that the jury had been made of ignorant people, when in reality, their acquittal seems reasonable in a legal context.…

    After 33 days of testimony, 400 pieces of evidence and over 90 witnesses the jury on the Casey Anthony trial reached a verdict. The case was mostly circumstantial, but as it unfolded it portrayed her as a self-centered cold blooded killer. On July 5, 2011 America witnessed Casey Anthony being acquitted of murdering her 2 year old daughter Caylee Anthony. To many people around the nation the “not guilty” verdict represented a failure in our justice system to mete out justice the public determined was merited. The verdict is a perfect example of our judicial system working ineffectively and letting yet another murderer to be free. Casey Anthony who was arrested in 2008 on the charge of murdering Caylee Anthony was acquitted of all charges except for lying to police multiple times about her daughter. The delivery of the verdict not only caused the court clerk to pause and recompose herself, but caused a general disdain throughout the country for how our justice system treats certain people.…

    In Phoenix, Arizona, during 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested and charged with the rape, kidnapping, and robbery of an eighteen year-old, semi retarded woman (Mount). After his arrest, Ernesto Miranda was interrogated for a session lasting about two hours, where at the end, he confessed to these charges (McBride). The police, who had not reminded Miranda of his rights before his interrogation, recorded the whole session and used his confession as the sole evidence to convict him (McBride). At the end of his trial, he was convicted of rape and kidnapping of the eighteen year-old and was sentenced to twenty to thirty years in jail (McBride). Miranda and his attorney appealed the case and had it brought to the Arizona Supreme Court with the excuse that the police obtained the confession illegally (McBride). The Arizona Supreme Court agreed with the lower court. Miranda then appealed the case to the United States Supreme Court which heard the case in 1966 (Mount).…
