826 Words4 Pages

Depressed, death, devastated. These three words describe one’s emotion when the loved one is murdered. Murder was expressed in the articles by Martin Gansberg and Larry Getlen and video from CNN. Many claim that 38 people watched a horrified young lady, Kitty Genovese get murdered at Kew Gardens within three attacks. Many also believe that the 3rd attack was the fatal one. Lots of people also blame them for not helping them save Kitty’s life. Although these sources show that Kitty Genovese was fatally murdered, one source blames the murder of Kitty Genovese while the others do not.

Primarily, the Ganesberg’s article partially blames the bystanders for Kitty Genovese’s murder. One eye-witness claims that he saw this fatal attack, but “didn’t want to get involved” (Gansberg). This proves that the bystanders should be blamed. This man clearly didn't want to get in this murder. In depth, this quote thoroughly explains that this person is cruel and selfish because if he would’ve at least tried to help, Kitty would've had the chance to live. Just like this eyewitness, there have been many more selfish people like him in the community. For example, one person was sleeping and heard a noise. He claims that he heard a noise and woke up.

Nevertheless, the police didn't pick up and caused a young girl's life gone. All in all, through these sources, we can learn to not be a lazy bystander and help people in need because you might not know if their death is at the

    Primarily, apart from the previously discussed issues regarding the evidence and technology used, the issues consisted of the fact that there was no body ever found, making it difficult to examine the exact circumstances of the crime and whether the crime occurred entirely, relying on a few bloodstains and unclear CCTV footage (as seen in Figure 3). In relation to this issue, another problem was the previously aforementioned heavy reliance on the eyewitness testimony of Joanne Lees. While crucial to the investigation, eyewitness testimonies may be subject to inconsistencies, memory lapses and potential bias, all of which were concerns during the trial. Finally, the high-profile nature of the case garnered widespread media attention. The extensive media coverage had the potential to influence public opinions which in turn may have impacted the trial

    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.
