Did Sherlock Holmes Make The Right Decisions?

379 Words2 Pages

Have you ever gone somewhere like an ice cream shop and not known what you wanted? Decisions are hard to make. Sometimes people get set as a scapegoat and the culprit gets away. Just like in this case the Countess loses her jewel and finds it inside of her black striped goose and doesn’t know who did it. After they find the felon, Mr. Holmes rules to let them go and bid them not to do it again. In my opinion, I think Sherlock Holmes positively made the right decision. In the first place, if Mr. Holmes would have decided to arrest and lock them up, they would have been classified as criminals for their whole lives. They’d be called in several times for the crimes they didn’t commit. Over and over, that would get pretty annoying. Getting arrested

    Mary Surratt should not have executed. Mary Surratt was not a good woman, but she did not deserve to be executed by the government.

  • Pros And Cons Of Mr Nelson Release

    426 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have chosen to grant Mr. Nelson release due to the strong arguments made by the defense and weak arguments put forth by the crown. First, as seen in both the case description as well as restated by both defense attorneys, Mr. Nelson “has no prior criminal record” (Jack B.), therefore, giving proof to how Mr. Nelson “has no intention of endangering the public in any capacity” (Jacob A.), as well as rebutting doubt against Mr. Nelson not appearing in court with a summons. These arguments support the base outlines for bail release: to ensure public safety, eliminate public fear, and to diminish possible doubts of flight risk/not appearing in court. Second, the defense makes the argument where despite Mr. Nelson being charged with conspiracy to commit murder, “while police did search his home, no illicit drugs

  • Paul Bernardo's Analysis

    From utilitarian point of view, the police took a morally right decision as it will on a long term maximize happiness of the community. Utilitarians think that a murderer should not be punished for the purposes of justice or retribution, but rather for the protection of public (Class Notes). An act-utilitarian would support the police’s decision as they maximized happiness for the greatest number of people. The police did not have enough evidence to incriminate Paul Bernardo, thus he was free and could have committed further crimes. However, with Karla’s testimony against him, the police ensured that Paul was behind bars and thus maximized happiness and safety for the entire community.

    I believe that if this was tried again that David Goodreau would still be found guilty. Only because when he confessed he knew certain things about the crime that ordinary people wouldn't known. There were defiantly problems with the investigation, Starting with the fact that the police didn't even peruse the murders of the two girls. Another problem with the investigation was that the police never really looked or found any evidence at the crime scenes. David Goodreau was sentenced to life in prison with out parole.
