BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - Yesterday, a man with a strange eyeball was killed in his house by a man whose name is not specified. The man was suffocated by the murderer after the man noticed him spying on him. The murderer sliced up the remains of the body and hid them under the floorboards. Police came to the man's house due to hearing a shriek. The men who came did not suspect the murderer, however, he confessed. The murderer was sitting above where he did the body, police say. No one knows why the murderer did what he did or why he confessed. However, the only thing that the police got out of the man is that he kept on explaining how he was not insane, and how much of a genius he was. The murderer has been charged with 35 years in prison. “I
In Dallas, Texas a man was brutally murdered by servant at home. The body was cut up into limbs and put under the wood planks. During the murder the victim scream and heard by neighbors. Three police officers went into the scene. The suspect acted like nothing happened until he went insane and confessed.
Police also found female genitalia along with one of the two women he killed hanging from his ceiling. He would keep bones, body parts, and skin as prize possessions using them around the house. This shows that his mental state was slowly
The police of the late 1800s were unaccustomed to dealing with serial killers, lacking the forensic technology, and understanding of criminal psychology that we have today. They conducted countless interviews, detained numerous suspects, and even offered a staggering 500-pound reward - the equivalent of one million rand today - in the hopes of catching the killer. Suspects included butchers, slaughterers, surgeons, and physicians, due to the gruesome and precise nature of the mutilations. Due to lack of evidence, the case remains unsolved, leaving us to wonder who the infamous Jack the Ripper truly
In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the author Harper Lee supplies the reader with the motif of the blindness of night and the truth of day to reveal that evils are committed in blind rage rather than in clear thought. An example of this blindness is the verdict given to Tom Robinson, an innocent black man convicted of raping Mayella Ewell. In this circumstance, Tom and the many witnessing the trial stand in the courtroom awaiting the verdict. After the clock "...bonged eleven times..." signaling the hour of that evening, the jury states that Tom Robinson is "guilty" due to their distorted perspectives (Lee 281-282). Here, even though Tom's lawyer, Atticus Finch, supplies the jury with all the evidence needed to acquit the defendant, they still convict him because they would rather trust a white man's word than a black man's word.
A Speck of Light In the Darkness Love, racism, and gender-inequality are all themes used in the award-winning book, To Kill A Mockingbird, but how are they shown throughout? Essentially, Jem and Scout’s father Atticus Finch is set to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. Throughout this time, Scout learns about what her tiny town of Maycomb truly is and what she must become. Right after a near-death experience, Scout finally understands that to harm an innocent man is the same as killing a mockingbird, which never does anything wrong.
At one point in everybody's life they have actively chosen to follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing regardless of its moral context. That is the meaning behind blindness to prejudice. People do things just because it’s normal amongst their community. In author Harper Lee’s novel, “To Kill A Mockingbird”, many people who live in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama are racist towards African Americans. Many townspeople owned slaves that lived on the south side of Maycomb.
Blindness results from the misunderstanding of others and the lack of personal knowledge. In To Kill a Mockingbird, several characters fail to see the obvious because they do not obtain first-hand familiarity with their community. A short and simple example of this particular blindness is found in Lula’s character. The indignant and disenfranchised character, Lula, makes a major appearance in chapter 12. Lula is portrayed as a seven feet high Negro woman who is racist and discourteous for persecuting the white children.
Jem and Scout realizes that the obstruction of the mindset leads to blindness, which is called prejudice, when they finally encounter Boo Radley.

While what he did was horrible and insane-like, the narrator did this process very sanely and put lots of thought into it. No absolute insane person would spend days and days watching someone sleep, or acting perfectly normal around victim just so they could tike their kill perfectly, even though watching someone sleep is an insane trait. He was very cautious in this, “But you should have seen how wisely I proceeded -- with what caution -- with what foresight, with what dissimulation, I went to work!” and proved to be quite patient, “It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed.’’ So he couldn’t have been totally insane, right?
¨Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed¨(pg 241).
