Cristabellac Case Study
Considering all the information provided I believe the appellant should be sentenced and charged.
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.

    There was evidence that wasn’t collected such as blood that Mrs Chamberlain offered to give to the police. Evidence such as their tents and belongings were moved to a motel on the first night, which could’ve caused contamination allowing the evidence to have alterations. Their tents and belongings were also not searched. In addition, the family was then allowed to leave in their car the following morning without it being explored allowing contamination with another piece of evidence. Furthermore, evidence that was discovered later on in the case such as Azaria’s jumpsuit was moved then picked up and was not placed as it was found which tampered with the evidence. Although the collection of evidence throughout this case demonstrated faults, the Jury still concluded to Mrs Chamberlain as a guilty woman, which led to her…

    A very significant case in Cook County Courts was the Bridgeport case, known as a “heater” case because of the publicity that surround it, and the racial overtones (Bogira 181). The Bridgeport case involved three white teenagers, Michael Kwidzinski, Jasas, and Caruso that were accused of brutally beating two young black boys who were riding their bikes in the predominantly white neighborhood. The entire summary of the case, in Courtroom 302, was based around the fact that one of the boys, Michael Kwidzinski, was most likely innocent. The question then turns to the boy himself, Michael Kwidzinski; if he was innocent, why did hid then accept a guilty plea bargain?…

    On April 3, Victoria Price was called to the stand to testify. She recounted her job-hunting trip to Chattanooga, the fight on the train between the white and the colored, and the rape in which Haywood Patterson was one of her attackers. She claimed that six raped her, and three raped Ruby Bates. Prosecutor Knight’s strategy was mainly to make sure his questions would keep to Victoria’s story, and so it did not change from her first story of the incident. When Samuel S. Leibowitz questioned her, however, it was merciless. His questions suggested his answers. Victoria had claimed that she stayed at Callie Brochie’s boardinghouse in Chattanooga the night before, but that was proved false. There wasn’t such a place. Leibowitz proved that she was an adulterer who had consorted with Jack Tiller, a married man, in the Huntsville freight yards two days before the alleged…
