Bath, N.Y. (WENY) -- In a few days Thomas Clayton will be sentenced for his role in orchestrating his wife 's death. However on Thursday, the attorney for the convicted murderer made his first motion for a new trial.
In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution.

In September of 1961, a woman from District of Columbia had an intruder break into her apartment. While the invader of the home was there, they had taken her wallet, and also raped the woman. During the investigation of the crime, the police had found some latent fingerprints in the apartment. The police then established and processed the prints. The prints were then connected back to 16 year old Morris A. Kent. The prints the connected back to when Kent was first entering the system back in 1959 for his earlier crimes. Kent at this time had already been on probation due to crimes committed two years prior to this case. Morris Kent at the age of 14, had first come into contact with breaking the law when he was placed on probation for breaking
In the summer of 2008, Casey Anthony daughter Caylee Anthony was last seen on June 16, 2008. No one knows where she was nor did Casey report that her daughter was missing. Time went by with no sign of Caylee reappearing. Casey’s mother called and reported that her granddaughter was missing and that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body had been in there.
Florida courts are plagued with too many people appointed or elected who are entrusted with the sole responsibilities of doing out justice in their public official capacity, who often times suffer from the common syndrome of lacking the ability to separate the administration of justice from the imbuing of their very own interest and passion.
She then said that her daughter had been kidnapped by the nanny and she was trying to find her before she alerted the authorities. Now I don’t believe any mother would be that reluctant to tell their own mother, let alone the police, that their own daughter had not been seen for weeks. This is one of the main reasons that I believe she did kill her daughter or was in some way involved in the death of Caylee Anthony. The skeleton of the child was then found near the family’s house 5 months after she was reported missing. What are the odds of the body being that close to the house and no one having any clue for months on end? This just screams suspicion, but alas, there was no hard evidence that tied Casey into the placement of the body, so this was a moot point. Other points where brought up which could have very likely led to the death of Caylee. It was said by Jose Baez, Casey’s attorney, that Caylee had drowned in the family pool and George, Casey’s father, had been the one to dispose of the
Body sniffing dogs were brought to the car, and allegedly indicated that there indeed was a body in the trunk of the car. However, at first, Anthony’s lawyers argued that this technique was merely “junk science” (Jean). Then, they refuted the idea that the air from the trunk of the car was able to be bottled up and tested. Allegedly, a forensic anthropologist was able to use his method of “human decomposition odor analysis” to confirm that 79.2% of the gasses that were found in the car matched with that of a decomposing human body (Shelton 420). His information also was not backed by a method that Florida, as a state, agreed was scientifically valid. This misinformation was part of the reason that Anthony was
The Casey Anthony case captivated the nation for months, it was a massive media spectacle . The defendant, Casey Anthony, was accused of murdering her two year old baby Caylee Anthony. Caylee was taken care of by Casey Anthony and Casey’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony. Cindy was the one who made the 911 call on July 19th reporting that Caylee had been missing for a month(Liston, Barbara). She also reported that Casey’s car smelled like a dead body and that Casey had given multiple reasons for where Caylee was before she admitted that it had been weeks since she last saw Caylee. Lying would prove to be a common trend with Casey Anthony. Casey was obviously the primary suspect, and in October she was charged with first
On June 16,2008 2-year-old Caylee Anthony went missing from her home in Orlando, Florida; she lived there with her grandparents and her 22-year-old mother Casey Anthony. Caylee was missing
The Supreme Court ordered that such “deliberate indifference” to an inmate 's “serious medical needs” was a violation of that inmate 's Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. This case guaranteed three basic rights: the right to access to care, the right to care that is ordered, and the right to professional medical judgment.
On July 15, 2008, Cindy Anthony announced that her two-year old granddaughter Caylee, had not been seen for nearly a month. Also, she wanted her daughter Casey Anthony taken into custody for robbing a car and money. Casey lied many times to investigators and displayed no emotion about her daughters disappearance. On October 14, 2008, Casey Anthony was arraigned by a Florida grand jury on first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child, and four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Later, human remains were identified as Caylee's on December 11, 2008, in the woods approximately a quarter of a mile from the Anthony residence. On April 14, 2009, the prosecutor disclosed intent to seek the death penalty. Due to the broad attention about the case, jurors were chosen from Pinellas County but the trial was in Orange County where the crime took place. They were isolated during the whole trial (Hails, 2013).
Generally, a mother provides the necessary essential to raise and nurture the well-being of the child. Their love is usually expressed through shared laughs, affection and even love. In reality, a mother’s child who goes missing for month would be extremely devastated and deeply sadden. They would not wait until so many days go by to report the matter to their local authorities. They would not party with friends, go shopping at department stores, or hang out with their boyfriend while their daughter has vanished. More importantly, a mother who is broken by their child disappearance would not refrain from sharing their pain with family and close friends. However, Casey Anthony did not show any of these emotions when her two-year-old daughter was gone. In fact, she was not even the person who reported her missing to the emergency operator. Also, Casey fabricated false information to law enforcement officers who sole missing was to bring back Caylee. Casey’ demeanor and her unwillingness to help locate her daughter gave signs that she was a mother who did not care too much for her child. Therefore, I believe text messages that were not permitted into the trial could have been used to further explain Casey’s behavior and motives (Casey Anthony Trial, 2017). In this new era of technology, text messages are one of the most effective way to communicate with friends and family. They can capture pure
Casey Anthony when questioned by police was very vague with her story and often changed the events leading prior to her daughter's disappearance. In her original statement she claimed to of dropped Caylee off with her nanny, Zenaida Gonzalez,
