    The case of Lizzie Borden, who allegedly took a hatchet to her step-mother and father, took place in 1892 and to this day has yet to be solved. To solve a case like this one there has to be a substantial amount of physical evidence that leads to the suspect. In the late 1800’s there were not many forensic tools available to police and investigators. Fingerprinting, lie detection, and hair testing were among many of these tools that were not available. This being said there were different tactics used by police, some of which were helpful and others which were not.…

    In the early 1980’s in a small Podunk town of Ada, Oklahoma, a young woman named Debra Sue Carter, was savagely raped and killed in her own apartment after work at the local cocktail bar. Quickly, the town drunk was arrested in relation to the rape and murder with nothing more than a single “eyewitness” that placed him at the woman’s job that night. Many regulars to the bar said that “they would know if Ron Williamson was at the Coach Light and he wasn’t there.” They, in fact, named another man: Glenn Gore, the prosecution's main witness. Gore was also the man that Debbie’s friend said that she was afraid of and he was supposedly at Debbie’s apartment the night of the murder, according to the friend who received a phone call that night from Debbie. Gore was also seen being pushed away by the victim at the victim’s car the same night as the murder.…

    For many years people have been fascinated with murder cases. There have been many cases throughout the U.S. that many people have been interested in. Such a case is the Lizzie Borden case. Evidence has proved that Lizzie Borden murdered her parents because; of her poor relationship with her step-mother, her resentment of her father, and her mental instability.

    Only after Ying-ying realizes that she has passed on her passivity and fatalism to her daughter Lena does she take any initiative to change. Seeing her daughter in an unhappy marriage, she urges her to take control.

    This Organisation is a non-profit Legal organisation dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustices. The Innocence Project was established in a landmark study by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Senate in conjunction with the Benjamin N.Cardozo School of Law, which found that incorrect identification by eyewitnesses was a factor in over 70% of wrongful convictions. The Innocence Project was founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University .It then became an independent non-profit organization in 2003, but has strong institutional connections with Cardozo. As I have said, The project is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. As a clinic, law students handle case work while supervised by a team of attorneys and clinic staff. There are many organisations across the world.

    My heavy eyes ached as I closed them listening to music. I was nearly asleep when the song I was listening to paused and my familiar message tone sounded through my headphones. I picked up my phone just as the song faded back in, my eyes blurred as they adjusted to the light of my phone screen but the only thing I could see was Josie’s name. I sat up in shock and re-read the sender name a few times before believing it. I opened the message and started reading. ‘I’ve missed you so much Jacob, this is so hard and everything I do reminds me of you, I really want to see you again.’ I stared at it for a moment in shock before a huge wave of emotion came over me. I kept reading it over and over thinking I must be in a dream. I didn’t know what to do or say. My mind was soon crowded with thoughts and suddenly I felt wide awake. Every day that passed I thought how I wished I was good enough to be with her, because in reality I wasn’t over Josie and I really missed what we had. When I did reply I wrote ‘I need you in my life Josie, I can’t bear not having you next to me anymore, I miss your company and want to see you’ I pressed send and anxiously waited for a reply. I heard another buzz so I picked up my phone. ‘Meet me at Subway at 12’ she said.…
