Murder Home Case Study
1. The Murphy homes were nicknamed Murder homes. These homes were in the horrific projects. Graffiti covered the walls, the elevators rarely worked, and drug dealers were everywhere. Parents wouldn’t even let their children out of the house because of the danger surrounding them.
2. Tony is a teenager who just wishes he had gotten out of the drug business when he could. He is a depressed teenager who just wants his brother to do well. Tony has dug himself deep and just wants to drill important information into Wes’ brain, so that Wes doesn’t end up like him.
3. Wes’ school performance wasn’t perfect. He didn’t pay much attention in class because he was bored. I believe it was because Wes knew what was being taught so much so that it didn’t

    I think that that Customer C killed Fannin. The first piece of evidence that proves Customer C killed Fannin is that that the cash register had been rung up to 8.75 this is the exact total of Customers B, C, and D. This had to have been done before the murder, because the heel to toe footsteps that belonged to Ernie show that he walked to the cash register after mopping (footstep trail Y.) This was done before the robbery, because the only two reasons that he would’ve opened the register would be to either check someone out, or to give someone money during a stick up. We can tell that he wasn’t getting robbed, because the money’s still there.This allows us to rule out customer A. The second piece of evidence that proves that Customer C killed Fannin is that there was a right handprint on the wall. Common sense suggests that if there is a right handprint on the wall, the shooter pulled the trigger with his left hand. Since C is left-handed, that means that they pulled the trigger. The final piece of evidence that points to C as the murderer is his silverware was on the left side of his platter. His coffee cup was also on the left side of his plate. Usually, if the silverware and cups are placed on the left hand side of the plate, it means that the diner is left handed. So this means that C is left-handed. WHO COMMITED THE LUNCHROOM MURDER?…

    Timothy, I agree with your points concerning Jeffrey Dahmer having knowledge of the illegal actions he was undertaking. Just as it is pointed out in the text, he chose to dismiss his conscience concerning the immorality of the mutilating, sexually assaulting, consuming, furthermore, the murder of his victims (Williams & Arrigo, 2012). Being able to understand what causes individuals such as Jeffrey Dahmer to perform such heinous acts may be something we never fully understand as each individual is unique. In reference to rehabilitation, I also believe that Jeffrey Dahmer could never be cured of his demented mind nor could he have ever been a productive member of society.…

    When Beyond Birthday committed his third murder, he attempted an experiment. Namely, to see if it were possible for a human being to die of internal hemorrhaging without rupturing any organs. Specifically, he drugged his victim so they fell unconscious; tied them up, and proceeded to beat their left arm thoroughly, being careful not to break the skin. He was hoping to bring about enough hemorrhaging to cause death from loss of blood, but this attempt ended, sadly, in failure. Blood congested in the arm and it turned purplish red beneath the skin, but the victim did not die. They simply shook, convulsed, and remained alive. He had been convinced the blood loss incurred by this would be enough to…

    The Other Wes Moore essay

    While the environments that both boys grew up in were similar, there are key differences that influenced each Wes Moore into making different decisions later in their lives. The book begins with a discussion of their fathers; the author Wes Moore, although for a short time in his life, had a loving father who was involved and active. The other Wes Moore, however, had an alcoholic father who was absent his entire life, not bothering to get involved with his son. The second Wes Moore, unlike the author of this novel, never had a father figure and the only male role model he had was his elder brother who eventually dropped out of school to sell drugs. Both boys were also raised by their mothers but were raised in entirely different matters. Joy was a hardworking, strong and independent woman who had an education and grew up in a disciplined and structured environment. Joy was determined to provide the same for her three children, going as far as moving in with her parents and working multiple jobs to allow her children to go to private school instead of the failing public schools of the Bronx. Joy and Wes’ grandparents were strict and provided a stable household with high expectations and respect for rules and severe punishments for breaking those rules. For example, when Wes started to fail in school and did not improve his grades or his behavior his mother sent him to military school. Joy was a strict disciplinarian. Mary, the mother of the other Wes Moore, was not a strict disciplinarian and did not grow up in a stable environment. Mary’s mother died when she…

    Secondly, Wesley Hayden grows the most as a person throughout the novel. At first he is portrayed as an average man, who isn’t very interesting or adventurous as seen through the eyes of his son, David. When Frank is found to be a rapist, Wes then transforms into a deep and critical thinker, who investigates the situation and does the right thing in the end as he knows that he must be fair and unbiased towards the crimes that Frank had committed. Through the situation around him, Wesley Hayden becomes almost a different man because he grows as a person and sees that he must step up and take action otherwise nothing will be…

    I would say that the characterization of lower class neighborhoods as being disorganized is false. While from an outsider's view, things may appear hectic and chaotic, there is a finely designed structure among the groups involved in the areas. Individuals find themselves grouping together with others who have similar aspirations and desires; in Street Corner Society, this is seen as the ‘corner boys' and ‘college boys'. Corner boys grew up, not in schools, but with each other on the area street corners. Doc was the general leader of the corner boys. College boys grew up and moved on into the college life. The Norton Street Settlement House would see the college boys as having aspirations that needed cultivating; while the corner boys were seen as simple 'rednecks'.…

    Tony is different from Romeo. Because; he does not care what the public think of him or how he dresses. He was not born into a family of socialites, and does what he feels is right. He is not afraid of speaking his mind in front of people no matter who they are, but if he were to put down someone, he would not do it so openly. Tony does not fight unless he feels it is right or to avenge someone's death. Tony is also a respected member of the ‘Jets' gang because he was loyal and he founded the gang. At eighteen he is no longer a member because he feels he is too sensible for the gang.…
