Brock Turner Case Study

You are a savage man. It is very obvious from the crimes you have committed that we cannot let you hurt people more. We will keep you as long in the jail as we can until you tries to lift off your fingers.” The Judge did not give him a ‘Lifelong Restriction’ instead he jailed him for 20 years; for Donald’s involvement in cases of assault, abuse, rape and, sexual and serious assaults. He repeatedly made assault on his former two partners. One of the lady was severely injured from October 2009 to 2011.

Amend provisions to require OWCP to work with USPS and other agencies to pursue Third Party collection on the behalf of their injured employees. In 2013, OWCP withdrew from the joint agreement for the USPS to pursue Third Party claims. Most interesting is that Third Party collection is an adjunct activity in relation to claim benefits. From the inception of the original joint agreement the between OWCP and USPS in November of 1980, USPS successfully negotiated third party settlements on behalf of USPS employees for 35 years. On March 10, 1985, the parties gave signature to a Memorandum of Agreement expanding the joint third party collect program for an indefinite period.

It is a lawyer's responsibility to provide counsel to those who cannot afford one if they choose to have counsel. Due to the increasing number of poor individuals in society, there is a high demand for court-appointed counsel. This high demand demands time from the lawyers and results in the lawyer not properly performing their job of providing justice for their client. For example, if a defense attorney has many court-appointed defendants, they are more likely to convince their clients to take plea deals in order to prevent a lengthy trial and because it is more convenient for the lawyer instead of fighting for their client and obtaining justice (if the defendant is wrongly accused). The Rules of Professional Conduct provides solutions for the many conflicts lawyers face.

She is faced with helping her husband make the biggest and most final choice in his life so far. Since they have been apart for a while, separated by prison, it would be incredibly easy for her to say that he should live and give up his good name just so she can still have her husband and her kids have their father. It would be incredibly difficult for her to see John for a few minutes after a long time apart and say he can sacrifice himself for the greater good. However, she sees the situation as that: him sacrificing himself for the greater good. She is also strong enough to admit part of the blame is her own, that she has a hand in the guilt he feels about their relationship.

It showing that parts of the judicial system are unjust. They put so much fear into the teens that they didn’t know what to do and were just saying anything to be with their family. By making a deal with the teens in exchange for a story I felt that was wrong because they are lying about what happened and they stores have different parts off the back I knew they were going to jail. Later on the right man who committed the crime confessed and the case was vacated against all five teens. They have every right to file for a settlement for what they went through it was unfair and they were granted a settlement for $42 million which they deserved.

The only problem with this is that it could take a while to get an issue resolved, issues don’t get fixed overnight. This processes can take many years, even decades. People fighting for their rights should not get discouraged as this is a very common occurrence. For example, people have been fighting for guns to be banned in the United States for many years. This issue is extremely difficult to resolve because the opposing sides are both very strong.

Atticus made it very easy for the court to see that it was a grand possibility that Mr. Ewell indeed beat up his own daughter for wanting to be with a black man. From the quote I can sense that Atticus is proving very well that Mr. Ewell beat his own daughter, however no one in the courtroom wants to believe this statement is true. There is also substantial evidence leading to the fact that Mr. Ewell aggressively attacked his own flesh and blood. Scout ponders about Mr. Ewell being left handed and thinks, “If her right eye was blacked and she was beaten mostly on the right side of the face, it would tend to show that a left handed person did it.”(Lee 238). As I interpret this quote I can see that more evidence is proving Mr. Ewell to be guilty of hitting his own daughter.

Becoming and Overcoming Ordinary People who grow up in a bad situation sometimes struggle to become a middle-class citizen – but a few – go beyond that and become successful. We've heard stories, seen movies, and read books that talk about someone overcoming impossible odds to be the strong person they are today; however, it is not as impactful until you hear personal stories from someone you are very close to. Fredrick Douglass' story impacted the thoughts of many, but for me the emotional cut went deeper when I compared his stories to my mom’s. Growing up my mom never really knew her father, had three step dads and they were verbally and physically abusive to her, her brother, and her mom. My grandma got pregnant at sixteen and had my mom

Life isn’t easy and I know we all go to ups and downs, but we need to agree that suicide isn’t the answer to ending our lives and we need to change it. Young and elderly people commit suicide for different reasons and need different treatments. The issue of suicide has been around for quite a long time since the Middle Ages. It hasn’t disappeared, in fact, it has increased over time because due to lack of effort of attending therapy and seeking the help they need to solve their own struggles in their daily routine of life. Females are twice as likely to attempting suicide than males while males are four times more likely to attempting suicide and more chance of dying.

“An important pathway to the middle class now runs through higher education, but rising costs are making it harder and harder for ordinary Americans to get the education they want and need” ( Sanders). Many student who’s families can not easily afford the cost of college often do not further their education after high school. Students that know that their family struggles with money already don’t want to ask for more so that they can go to college. As the cost of college has been on the rise many have talked about wanting to provide students with a free college education. Many bring up that the states grant their students with free public education till they complete the twelfth grade.

Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong In Brandon L. Garrett 's book, Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong, he makes it very clear how wrongful convictions occur and how these people have spent many years in prison for crimes they never committed. Garrett presents 250 cases of innocent people who were convicted wrongfully because the prosecutors opposed testing the DNA of those convicted. Garrett provided simple statistics such as graphs, percentages, and charts to help the reader understand just how great of an impact this was. These wrongful convictions occur because the criminal justice system had many flaws. It was not only the system that had flaws but also the people on the board.

O.J Simpson, or also known as, “The Juice”, is beyond guilty for the crimes he was accused of, even though he was found not guilty. Many people think he is innocent then again many people think he is guilty. Whenever someone hears his name, the heinous crime he was accused for comes to mind. Yes O.J was a father and a beloved human before all the commotion went about, but does that mean people should automatically not suspect him due to his “wonderful appearance.” People thought the best of O.J. He was handsome, a professional football player, an actor, and a father.

With the high rate of divorce and break ups in our society today, couples counseling is highly needed to help partners work out relationships instead of ending them. It is heartbreaking for many people who invest time in a relationship to give up due to some challenging issues that they cannot work through. Couples counseling focuses on helping couples learn how to deal with their problems and learn how to better communicate with each other. Many couples shy away from getting help due to ignorance, pride, or lack of finances to afford it, but the truth is that couples counseling has had wonderful results. Relationships normally start out wonderful but over time the fire can dwindle and each partner can begin to drift, get resentful, repetitive

In the month of November in 2013, Austin Sigg was sentenced to life and an additional 86 years in prison for murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. As he faced justice through the court system, advocates unnecessarily argued that he was only a child and too young to serve as an adult. To show that an individual’s age should not be used as an excuse to justify their actions, Weir states “Some juveniles commit crimes so serious, so heinous, that public safety mandates — and justice demands — full accountability in our criminal justice system. There are those who argue this is unfair and unjust. They say the juvenile brain is not fully developed until well into the
