My Cousin Vinny Analysis
After watching the movie “My cousin Vinny” I have realized in a situation someone people will open their mouth to the wrong charge and then realize it down the line. In the movie Bill had took something from the store and did not realize it until he left the store. But as so as he realize it the cops was already behind them and when they already reach the police station they told the truth that they took the can of food. But that was not what the police thought the police thought that they killed the boss of the store. Not knowing what they confess to the police saying they was the ones to kill the man in the store. There are a few wrong things they put themselves into. The first problem was stealing out of a store. The second was they agreed …show more content…
As the case was going though the trail Vinny had to fine evidence that goes again the charges. In the beginning of the movie Vinny did not ask now question to help his case because he did not know what to do at first. But at the end of the movie Vinny gather all the evidence to see what was wrong about them and he talked to the witness to see what were their opinions. As he when thought all the witness and questioned them he founded out new information that cleared Billy and Stan name. Vinny needs Lisa, a practiced in automobiles, to appear to this. He struggles her into court, and during Vinny's questioning, they patch up their differences. Vinny then recalls the FBI analyst, who concurs with Lisa that Billy's car did not produce the tracks. This helped the case because all the evidence that where place on Billy and Stan were dropped. Also this was a big breaking point for Vinny because this was the first case he has taken that shown to be attempt of murder and he help Billy and Stan out of jail and from the death penalty. At the end of the movie you can see the judge was not giving Vinny a hard time because Vinny follow all the court rules. But Vinny took his lie which was a wrong name about a person that took one a great amount of case and won some and lose

    It is understandable that when one is involved in a case that can lead to time in jail, when it is the appellants turn to talk, the appellant might say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It is known that at one point the appellant had said, he had never driven the green Cadillac that belongs to cristabel pierce. However, on page three paragraph nine evidence shows that the appellant was seen driving the green Cadillac. This shows that the appellants purpose of lying was truly to not seem guilty, and to not be incriminated by his actions. The green Cadillac that the appellant was seen driving that day belonged to Cristabel pierce, the mother of his kids. It is not a coincidence that all of the stolen property was found in cristabels house, where the green Cadillac was parked, Hernandez, who lived across the street also testified on page sixteen paragraph thirteen, that he had asked the appellant what he was doing and he replied by saying he was helping Bernadette move her things, that she knew he was there. Which is not true. Therefore, all of those incidents that prove the appellant is not speaking the truth, make him not only loose credibility but makes him seem more guilty.…

    Several elements of the confession did not match up. Such as the timing, the place, and how they were killed. All of these were extremely influential elements that should have been considered, but they were not. The police continued to guide Jessie until the testimony was closer to accurate. Jessie Misskelley’s confession was not obtained ethically by any standard, yet it was still used at trial to put away three teenage boys for a great majority of their lives.…

    The prosecution’s evidence was a mere form of judgment and based on eyewitnesses, in which there was a lack of credible evidence that was positively proved in this case. The prosecution’s claim that there were seven witnesses all near Braintree around the time of the crime who claimed that Sacco looked identical to one of the bandits. The prosecution also claimed that a cap with a hole in it was picked up at the crime scene was similar if not identical to one that Sacco previously owned. The hole might have related to Sacco’s workplace where he religiously hung his cap. One of the seven witnesses, Kelley, claimed the cap was the same brand and color related to Sacco. The evidence against Sacco and Vanzetti about the car relates to when they were arrested. Sacco and…

    Within the study, 136 residents of the Wynne Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice witnessed a staged theft and provided testimony to the incident (Colwell et al, 2002). The interview consisted of scripts derived from Structured, Cognitive, and Inferential Interview techniques. Participants were assigned randomly to one of the three interview techniques and were measured on their honesty and dishonesty to the questions obtained. Participants randomly assigned to the honest group were instructed to report everything about the incident as truthful as possible. Participants in the dishonest group were instructed to distort the testimony from the honest group to debar the conviction of the staged perpetrator. The interviews were held individually for a duration of one hour and were recorded and videotaped (Colwell et al, 2002). The role of the interviewers was to accurately identify participants who were giving fabricated statements and honest statements.…

    The chapter focuses on the importance of contaminated confessions by expanding on the various reasons behind the possibility as to why a confession might be contaminated, these are identified throughout the text in various explanations as to why confessions can be tampered with: the puzzle of false confessions, contaminated false confessions, law enforcement practices, corroborated and nonpublic facts, denying disclosing facts, recorded false interrogations, and inconsistent facts (Garrett, 2011). In the case of Jeffery Deskovic’s false confession the police officers gave him facts that were explicit to the case and despite the DNA evidence that was pointing to someone else committing the crime, Jeffery was convicted for 16 years. Jeffery sued for his civil rights being violated. The puzzle behind false confessions is that police are suspected of feeding details of a crime to a compliant suspect. The book asked the question “why do innocent people confess in detail to crimes they had not committed” The relational is that if an individual gives the police exactly what they want then that will, in turn, let those being questioned to be able to go home (Garrett, 2011).…

    Vinland, in spite of all of of its bounties, was abandoned for a multitude of reasons, but in addition to those reasons there is another created by the primary reasons, present throughout the stories, but is especially see in Freydis’ treachery. Simply put the plentitude of misfortunes that occurred during the Vikings exploration had soured their desire to remain there.

It was far easier for them to cut their losses and retreat to Greenland where they already had well established farms and settlement.

    This could happen if someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time or framed by setting them up to look like they did a crime. There has been thousands of cases were there has been men and women who have been wrongly accused and have had to serve years and years in a jail or prison cell because they courts accused them of something they didn’t do. A great example of being wrongfully accused would be a woman named Gloria Killian, she was accused of a robbery and murder she had nothing to do with, and she was set up and served 16 years and four months. Gloria said “I’m innocent. I did not plan the robbery. I did not know those people. I was not involved. I am not the perpetrator”.

    Told in plain English that they do not gain anything by talking and have the privilege to a legal advisor. And afterward those same detectives turn a story in which they give an out to the simpleton sitting before them. The investigators tell the suspect, about whom they have no genuine proof yet know from experience, non-verbal communication, and sound judgment that this is their guy; they let him know that they sympathize with him. They know he had no way out in light of the fact that the fool disrespected him and for that he then needed to kill.…

    Characters in the story have changed other characters lives from lying about the murder. For examples, Tony thinks he should pitch, but Steve thinks he can throw a ball, so Steve wanted to show Tony how to throws a rock. When Steve threw the rock a tough guy asks who threw the rock and Steve says, “ Tony! Run!”(42) This would indicate that to me that Tony was the one who threw it. Steve just doesn't want to get hit, so it sounds like Tony did it. As the lesson learned was lying can mess someones life up for something they didn’t, so Tony got punch in the face for something he didn't do. Another example is when Briggs said, “ So you saved yourself some heavy jail time by pointing a finger at Mr. King, isn't that right?” Bolden says, “ I just wanted to do the right thing. You know, like a good citizen.” (55) Bolden just wanted to say it was someone else, so he didn't get in trouble. Although Bolden says it was Mr. King, Briggs, the lawyer, thinks he was trying to be a good citizen in jail. Maybe we should question the legal…

    It is understandable that it may be tempting for someone to resist being accountable. They may not want to get in trouble. They may want someone else to take the blame out of spite. Nobody wants to get in trouble, but if everyone lied and avoided justice, we would not be where we are today. Communication is an important part of maintaining accountability with everyone. We should always understand that it is not about being in trouble, it is about learning from our mistakes. If we do not suffer in some form for making a mistake, there is nothing to discourage us from doing it again.…
