Ali Baba, although he was the main character of the story, committed many crimes punishable by the Canadian Criminal Code. To begin, he violated Section 348(b) by breaking into and entering the secret vault. He broke in with the intent to commit an indictable offence and is therefore guilty of Breaking and Entering with a possible sentence of imprisonment not exceeding ten years, as it was not a dwelling-house. Immediately after said charge, he committed theft of an amount exceeding $5000, which is a violation of Section 322 of the Criminal Code. His possible sentence would be a term of imprisonment of up to ten years. Despite this, there were no witnesses to his crimes and the accusers were known criminals, so conviction would be difficult; …show more content…
In this specific case, had he given his brother the password without knowing that his brother wanted to steal from the vault, there would have been no charges, but he was aware of his brother’s intentions. Ali Baba’s possible penalty for this crime, if found guilty of the charge, could vary depending on his involvement with his brother’s thievery and whether his brother was successful in stealing the gold. Finally, Ali Baba allegedly committed two crimes in relation to Morgiana. First, he inherited her as a slave from his brother, which constitutes our current Criminal Code law against Human Trafficking, Section 279. He knowingly kept her in his house to work without pay or the ability to leave the property without permission. He would most likely be found guilty, although a defence of Mistake of Fact could possibly be used. Ali Baba, Cassim, and Morgiana all had no idea that her being a slave was illegal and, as a result, it is possible but unlikely that neither man would be charged. Ali Baba would receive a minimum of 4 years imprisonment and a maximum of a 14-year …show more content…
The first charge that she could receive would be Parties to an Offence, a Section 21 violation. Her defence, unlike Ali Baba’s, would be much weaker because she both abetted and aided Baba Mustapha in altering Cassim’s body. She paid him to do it and set the situation up for him, which would not make for a strong Mistake of Fact case. She would almost certainly be charged and receive a sentence that varies from case to case, depending on circumstance and the central crime committed. Her second charge would be a larger one, with a possible 40 counts of Homicide or Manslaughter, as she killed the forty thieves and violated Section 222. On the other hand, a very strong case for self-defence could be made because these thieves were trespassing at night with the intention to seriously injure or kill the owner of the property and perhaps even Morgiana. If she was convicted fully, she would almost certainly receive 25 years to life in prison with no opportunity for bail. If her defence was accepted fully or partially, she may receive a maximum of 5 to 10 years in prison, but it is very doubtful that she would be found innocent because of her self-defence plea considering the number of thieves she killed. Her final charge is 1st Degree Murder, a Section 229 violation. Her carefully planned attack and concealed weapon make it very difficult to defend her, but once

Arias tells the court that she was only acting in self defence and that she was afraid for her life since she had been abused by this man for years. The details of this heinous murder do not match up with the evidence left at the scene of the crime, proving that Jodi Arias should receive

Introduction The period of the trial was the 1910, more specifically the trial started on May 13, 1910 (pg.1).

Winter 2018: SOCC29 Family in the Middle East Anthony Wong 1002162072 Critical Review 2 for Week 9 There are three pieces of required readings assigned for Week 9, and the main topic is regarding gender killing and honor of crimes, but I will only focus on two articles written by Kecia Ali and Anna C. Korteweg on this critical review. Authors Kecia Ali (2003) and Anna C. Korteweg (2012) adopt somewhat distinctive views towards the issue of honor crime. Despite different opinions hold by the two authors, they do have some similar ideas in common, which is both of them consistently think that honor killing is universally unacceptable across culture.
Introduction Although Canada is universally known as safe haven for refugees, hundreds of unwanted immigrants across the country are held captive under maximum security. Despite the circumstances of these immigrants and refugees, I believe that keeping an innocent man locked behind bars in maximum security is unfair and hostile. Using Rawl’s Veil of Ignorance, I will be analyzing Ebrahim Toure’s conviction. I will also be applying the Potter Box Model of Reasoning by explaining every detail of his case and exploring the values, the principles and the loyalties that lies within this wrongful conviction to conclude with moral standpoint for Ebrahim Toure.

Home invasion; for example, I am home alone with my ten years old son, and two men with guns break in and tied us up. They search through my possessions, and fill a duffle bag full of electronic, money, and jewelry and offer no good explanation for why they are there. The circumstances may convince a prosecutor that the person entered in order to commit a crime; thus finding the defendant guilty and sentenced to a term of imprisonment in excess of ten years (Reinhart, 2014, 3). Strangulation; for example, I was sitting at my desk, a man walk behind me an start applying pressure to my throat blocking my air flow, causing me to struggle for breath. If the prosecutor fined that his actions result in serious physical injury, then he will be
Should the Not Criminally Responsible Law Remain in Canada? As of 1992, the Canadian Criminal Justice system introduced a new Law to its Criminal Code. NCR stands for “Not Criminally Responsible.” It is defined in section 16 of the Criminal Code."
The movie "Sleepers" directed by Barry Levinston stared four boys Shakes, Tommy, Micheal and John. The boys stole a hot dog cart from a vendor, while the boys were running away with the cart it slipped away from their hands into the subway station, and it accidentally crushed the man at the bottom of the stairs severely injuring him. Now the four boys are facing three charges mischief causing danger to life, mischief under over $5000 and theft. The Canadian criminal code outlines mischief causing danger to life as an indictable offence with the max penalty of life imprisonment, mischief to property and theft over $5000 can either be a summary conviction or indictable offences with the max penalty of 10 years imprisonment (Criminal
AMLA, in general, accommodates reasonable mechanisms for forfeiture of criminal proceeds under Section 55, 56, 59 and 61 of AMLA. By using AMLA, criminal proceeds from money laundering can be recovered, and here, provisions under AMLA do provide law enforcers comprehensive means to do so. With the introduction of civil forfeiture regime, enforcers should consider of applying for it when involving crimes relating to money laundering. This can be taken into account to lessen the burden of proving the case through criminal division, which is clear and convincing on balance of probabilities instead of beyond a reasonable doubt. Civil forfeiture is indeed an important tool, which ensures that wrongful gains do not stay with the criminals.
In the scenario of Karl and Bob, they are both wrong in their actions. Their problem started when they decided to flee town in order to run away from their problems. As a result, Karl and Bob’s situation became more severe because Karl decided to steal a thousand dollars from a store and Bob decided to cheat an old retired man into giving him a thousand dollars. Karl’s actions may seem worse in the eyes of society and the law; however, when considering the morality of the situation, I am convinced that Bob was worst in his actions to cheat the elderly retired man.
