Alice Morse Earl, an American Historian and devoted author once said, “ The clock is running. Make the most of today.Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why we call it the present. “ Power-hungry, committed, and wise Chandra Levy traveled to Washington for the sole purpose of being an intern at the Federal Bureau in Septemeber of 2000. The only thing Levy loved more than her career was her family, her big city dreams and of course her high school Modesto Police uniform. A true nerd at heart. Gary Condit, a married congressman, and Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant are only two suspects believed to have contributed to the disappearance and murder of Chandra Ann Levy. Because of …show more content…
First things first, Guandique was a resident only a short distance from Rock Creek Park, where Chandra’s remains were found and he did not come to work the day she disappeared (Helena). Halle Shilling. Christy Wiegand. Two women Guandique physically assaulted, weeks apart, same park, and just feet away from Levy’s decomposed corpse; he was detained 45 minutes later from the attack on Wiegand (Miller). This demonstrates how aggressive and consistent he was and how surprising it would not be even if prosecutors had direct evidence. In time, Armando Morales, a Jailhouse informant stated that Guandique told him, “homeboy I killed the *****, but I did not rape her” (Higham). Guandique was charged with the murder of Levy in 2010, but charges were later dropped due to the belief that Morales’s testimony was made up. Because of this the case disintegrated and the charges against him were dropped, but, he did face deportation back to his home in El Salvador (Kennedy). Even though there was no concrete evidence linking Guandique to the murder many people do believe that he is the prime suspect given the circumstantial evidence that proves his
One evening, a woman, Hae Min Lee was killed in the city of Baltimore in 1999. Apparently, Hae Min Lee’s ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed has been convicted, and has since been sentenced to life in prison, for the past 15 years. For fifteen years, he maintains to be innocent to this day. The perpetrator of Hae Min Lee’s murder is done by a third-party with the assistance of Jay, because Adnan was seen elsewhere at the time when Hae was supposedly killed.
“Once they learned there that was never tested for DNA, including a liquor bottle containing human skin cells and rope found at the crime scene, they visited Adnan Syed in the prison. This quote proves that Christina did not look into DNA evidence. Adnan should be granted post conviction because his past attorney didn’t test potential evidence that could support Syed. Ronald Lee Moore, who was released from prison 10 days before Lee vanished in January 1999, could have been responsible for her death. This quote shows that there could have been other suspects to blame besides Mr. S, who was a strong suspect.
The case of Mapp vs. Ohio is a case of illegal search and seizure. It went to the Supreme Court in 1961. It is important to today’s society because it might mean the difference between guilty and innocent. I agree with the Supreme Court because it is illegal to access private property without a warrant or consent. The case lasted until June 19, 1961.
There was a 10,000 reward to anyone who could give any information leading to the capture of the person responsible for this horrific crime. To a man like Rolando Cruz that kind of reward seemed amusing. A known gang member looking for a quick way to make money. Cruz gave the police a false confession in hope of getting the reward money. In doing this Cruz implicated two other people Alejandro Hernandez
Just days before his arrest, Dominique had moved from his sister's home into the Bunkhouse shelter in Houma, LA. Residents of the home described Dominique as odd, but no one suspected he was a killer. Soon after he was arrested he confessed of the murdering of 23 men. In his statement to the police, Dominique said the men who refused to be tied up would leave his home unharmed. Such was the case with one unnamed man who a year ago, reported the incident to the task force, a tip that eventually led to Dominique's
In Legend by Marie Lu the author develops the theme of Day’s perspective on life to reveal that you need to live everyday to its fullest potential because when you don't you miss out on so many opportunities and it's just better to live one moment at a time and try and soak everything up. The author tries to explain that you just need to slow down and enjoy everything because maybe in that next moment you won't have anything. At this point in the story Day and June are sitting in an abandoned railroad car, when June asked why Daniel chose his street name Day, and he responds. “‘Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything’s possible again.
According to JK Rowling in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, “Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.” On January 13, 1999 Hae Min Lee, a senior at Woodlawn High School, Baltimore, Maryland disappeared. Almost a month later, on February 9, 1999, her body was found lifeless in Leakin Park. Moreover, the results of the autopsy stated that the victim died of manual strangulation. In the most unfortunate cases, the crime was blamed on her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, who got convicted of first degree murder serving a life sentence in jail.
Thoreau utilizes metaphors to portray his disapproval of mankind’s inability to experience the world without being plagued by insignificant actions towards the future and an absorption in external factors. Humans, focused primarily on the future, use a “thousand stitches to save nine tomorrow,” illustrating that their present actions are solely to fix any forthcoming issues. By quantitatively modifying “a stitch in time”, Thoreau emphasizes that a vast majority of human actions are a result of being blindly concentrated on the future. He perceives such actions towards the future as wasted, demonstrated by the statement “we haven’t any of any consequence.” Not only do human actions disregard the value of the present, but they are also disordered,
Adnan is Innocent Do you remember what you did on this day, exactly one week ago? You might remember some things about that day, or you might remember nothing. How about if I asked what you did 6 weeks ago on this day? Could you tell me?
October 2nd, 2002 was the start of a long and horrific three weeks in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. People were terrified to be in the area and everyone was on edge. What appeared to be random killings, turned out to be a well-organized series of senseless shootings that took the lives of ten innocent people. After days of people being scared to death and much confusion, investigators discovered that there were two suspects in the shootings; John Allen Muhammad and his teenage partner Lee Boyd Malvo and they were in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan designed to terrorize people. This break in the case came when one of the suspects called the tip hotline and told them to look into a murder in Alabama, which lead to the case being

However, most believe Levy was murdered by illegal immigrant, Ingmar Guandique, but some say the government may have something to do with her mysterious death. Many theorists have taken an interest in the puzzling death of Chandra Levy. On May 1 2001, the day Levy was

In fact this very lecture would have been envisaged by Mr. Time long before any of you were even born. Time is everything and he waits for none, cares for none, and loves none. All that we can do is respect that guy, hope that he has great things in store for us and thank him for all the events that have unfolded in the world because…” “EVERYTHING
