Victims may be unable to explain what happened because of the nature of their disability.

During spring break one of the captain of the lacrosse team decided to throw a party and have two strippers there. One which was Crystal Mangum who has a mental problem and did not feel like preforming due to maybe the combination of alcohol and drugs. The party turned ugly and some people left and Kim Roberts the second dancer called the police to come and take her home or somewhere for help. The nurse asked if she was rape and the answer was yes for Crystal that knew the system well. The group of 88 of Duke facility had unequivocally asserted that something had happened to Crystal. This quickly turned into a racial motivated crime led by Mike Nifong. The lacrosse coach was forced to resign and the remained season had to be canceled due to the accusations.

On July 8, 1981, three men forced entry into a Tampa home. The five people living in this home were threatened with a gun and robbed. One of the assailants was armed with a shotgun. After the robbery two victims were taken, a 38-year old woman and a 12-year old girl. They were forced into the trunk the men’s car and taken to an unknown wooded area. After they were taken to this area, they were both removed from the trunk when one of the assailants forced the older victim to the front of the vehicle. She was raped both orally and vaginally. According to her testimony the assailant did not ejaculate (Innocence Project, n.d.). Shortly after, a second assailant took the younger victim to the back of the vehicle where he also raped her.

Consent can be defined as voluntary agreement, compliance or permission. Consent is a unilateral act, and so consent may be withdrawn by one person. People are allowed to “waive their legal rights” if they choose to do so. This would mean that the victim, by consenting to suffer harm, excuses the wrongful conduct of the person who has inflicted the harm and thereby excuses him/her of being held liable. The principle of volenti non fit iniuria applies, he who consents cannot be harmed.

In Steubenville, Ohio, a sixteen-year-old girl was attending a local high school party with her friends. The girl was more intoxicated than others and refused to go home after the party was shut down. She then joined a group of guys who were going to another party and when they get there, the girl was too drunk to remember anything else. Two of the boys that were with her were Trent Mays and Malik Richmond. Both of them were football players at Steubenville High School, which was a big deal in small town Steubenville.

An absurd amount of innocent people in the nation, have fallen victim to a disorganized legal system, and are suffering because of it. Dennis Brown, and James Harden, are two examples of this, and can relate because of it. They’ve been falsely convicted, without DNA evidence, but the truth of the case is finally revealed with their release.

I think it would be difficult for the prosecution to form an argument off of my points. The prosecution admitted that they don’t argue that Ms. Stephens is a victim of abuse, but rather is not suffering from battered woman syndrome. Once I use all of my witnesses and explain how Ms. Stephens is a clear case of battered woman syndrome, I think they will have a difficult time arguing that considering she clearly has every sign and symptom. The only argument I think they can use would be that because Mr. Stephens went to take a nap, Ms. Stephens could have just called the police and not shot him herself. I think members of the jury may also agree with this purely on the basis that those who aren’t victims of abuse can easily have the mindset that

On 3/17/17 at 1005 hrs, I was dispatched to the PD lobby in reference to harassing phone calls. Upon my arrival, I made contact with the complainant Victoria Wert and her boyfriend, Bradley Palmer. Wert advised Palmer’s ex-girlfriend, Alexus Smith has been texting her since 9/27/16 to 3/17/17, during this time Wert advised she did not text her Smith once, and her text messages are rude and unwanted.

Racism played a part in the Scottsboro trial. According to Jack Schafer, racism is the intentional abuse of social custom and legislative power that prevents a race to make decision. Racism can happens for many reasons one is that people push other races down to gain higher status (Rutledge). Another reason people would discriminate against other races is to keep power over those people (Schafer). From the Scottsboro trails the reader can see both of these reasons. In the trail all nine of the boys were procticuted in only one day (Anderson). From that you can see that the boys were not fairly procticuted they were pushed down because they were different. There was no eveadens to prove that they rape the women ,but there

American history is a sad and bloody history with many bumps that have created it into the superpower it is today. This hardship from our history played a crucial part in many books and especially To Kill A Mockingbird. Harper Lee created a writing masterpiece by using real life events as well as using real life corrupted laws. Connections like the Jim Crow laws, the mob mentality, and issues of racism that were taking place in that time.

On July 10 1994 a woman was abducted by two men and then raped. At the beginning of the crime both men went to her apartment, where they buzzed into the victim’s apartment. Project innocence writes “after the two men buzzed in the woman went downstairs after it had rang and no one had come up” (Innocence Project,2). After the victim had come downstairs the two men grabbed her. Innocence Project reports “The men that grabbed her forced her into a car where they drove to a backyard several blocks away where they both raped her” (Innocence Project, 2). After the crime the victim needed to find help, she was in shock. She eventually found

In Krysmalski by Krysmalski v. Tarasovich, a woman was deemed close enough by the Court to satisfy the witness element when she was located inside a grocery store when a car in the grocery store’s parking lot hit her children. 622 A.2d 127, 301 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1993). The distance was not specified, and the mother was still inside the store when her children were hit. This will provide support for Ms. Nordlund’s proximity to the accident, as the distance can be measured and should be deemed close enough for this element to be satisfied. Additionally, she and the victim were both outside when the accident occurred, as opposed to the mother in Krysmalski. R9.

As a response to the systemic, widespread and massive rape campaign carried out against Bosnian Muslims and Croat women and girls during the 1992 to 1995 Bosnian War, the 1993 United Nations Security Council Resolution 827 (UN Security Council, 1993), as a preamble to the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), contains the first ever documented UN reference to rape committed during armed conflict or rape as a violation of international humanitarian law (Schott, 2011, p. 5).

Throughout the US thousands of rape kits are left untested. Each one represents a victim of sexual assault waiting for justice, and by leaving the kits untested the criminal is able to walk free and hurt others like in Ms. Jones’s case. After Jones was raped several others were raped after her, but those rapes could have been
