Mike Rhodes: A Sacrifice Or Injustice?

In Source B, Dawn McKeen writes, “Cash broke no law, except the moral law that commands us to help others.” Monitoring moral laws can be very tricky because everyone’s perspectives on moral is different, nevertheless he broke moral laws and not a state law, so there is no legal reason he should be kicked out. Though an impressive portion of people feel Cash broke the law that night when he walked away from the crime scene, “technically, Cash [had] not committed a crime. That’s because Nevada -- Like California—[did] not [have] a Good Samaritan Law, meaning citizens are not required to stop a crime in progress or report it to the police” (Source C Morgan). The teenage boy had a choice when he witnessed the struggling Sherrice Iverson and Stromeyer. He could report what was happening to the police, or simply walk away. As there was no law requirering him to report the crime, Cash walked away. Legally Cash has a right to Berkeley as much as any other person

Due to Kent at the time being on probation, his past criminal history and the crimes that he was arrested for the right way to handle the charges would be through being charged as an adult. In cases like these with juveniles, it is best if the judge waives the case, so that it can be taken to a higher court. Taking a juvenile's case to be tried as an adult can be a good thing because there are times where the juveniles don't get the proper punishment for the crimes they've committed. I believe that when it comes to juveniles and they commit a severe crime they need to be punished just as if they were an adult. Juveniles don’t always get the proper charges to the fact they are under the age of 18. The juvenile courts need to go off of the seriousness of the case. In my opinion, if juveniles don’t get the proper charges, then there is always a chance that the juvenile could always continue to commit crimes. In this case, I believe Kent did not fully get his basic due process rights that should be granted to him. He was never fully investigated, which lead to the waiver eventually being

Friday, Thomas Tarbutton, a 58 year old man from Newport Beach was sentenced to 34 years and four months in state prison for running a 3 million dollar Ponzi Scheme. He was found guilty by an Orange County Superior Court jury. Thomas had eighteen account of grand theft, nine accounts of forgery, and eleven counts of using an untrue statement in the purchase or sale of a security and one count of use of a device or scheme to defraud, which are all felonies. I think Thomas should be sent to jail even though he will not live long enough to do the full 34 years. I also think the people who he used for their money should be paid back their money.

Wayne Williams was found guilty of the killing of two people. Even years after William’s still tries to persuade the idea of him being innocent. Just like fingerprints, hair analysis is following the same path. I think that DNA fingerprints will become bigger and more accurate of accusing killers, the use of hair analysis will decrease, but I do not think hair analysis should be taken away. It is another form of evidence to help solidify and crack down the killer. The defense could have put more emphasis on the statement that William’s parents knew his son was home and that they had the vehicle and maybe that could cause more of the idea of him being framed. If I was a juror I know that Williams reaction in the courtroom would set me on

A Tormented Soul outlines former Steelers center Mike Webster. Webster played football in his youth and later realized the serious repercussions that his passion had on his health. Webster's choice to play football, unbeknownst to him at the time, would have serious impacts on his health and if he would have know the effects earlier, perhaps he would have made a different decision. I am reluctant to say this, but I think it was worth it. I know it is uncouth to reference an outside source, but I think it plays in very well to this topic. Recently on Real Time with Bill Maher he brought up the idea of recklessness in youth. He initially brought up the idea of football injury and how players look back on their days as players with their current ailments. He analogized this to the life of Sammy Davis Jr. Even though Sammy Davis Jr. didn't live a long life he lived a full one in the 65 years he did. He lived a rat-packing lifestyle and it brought joy to him at the cost of his life and if I were to chose between a sheltered life and an

The case against Hubert Morgan for the “murder and felonious assault” on correctional officer William Hesson was an appropriate case for a plea bargain. Had Morgan not agreed to the plea bargain, he could have been charged with life without chance of parole for kneeing the correctional officer in the chest while they were both voluntarily wrestling in the laundry room. The plea bargain attempted to reduce the sentence to a maximum of ten years in prison for Hesson’s death. Although I disagree with the charges, it was much more appropriate for Morgan to be sentenced to seven years than to a life sentence without parole. However, even still it would have been more accurate to charge Morgan as a juvenile because he was only seventeen when the

The case People v. Smith was finally decided by the Supreme Court of Michigan in 1991. The case involved the defendant Ricky Franklin Smith whom pled guilty to breaking and entering and of being a habitual offender, fourth offense (People v Smith, 1991). The judge sentenced Smith to 6 to 30 years imprisonment for the Habitual Offender charge. Ricky Franklin Smith after sentencing requested to be resentenced because his juvenile record, which had been expunged, was considered by the judge for sentencing. The Michigan Court of Appeals agreed with the sentencing; however, when the case went to the Supreme Court of Michigan, they reversed the decision because the sentencing should not have been based on the defendant’s prior expunged juvenile record.

Jesse Williams is someone I would consider to be a hero. Williams has many heroic qualities which include courage and persistence. To being with he shows courage by publicly speaking on the things he believes in. Whether he is talking about black equality or black women's empowerment it take some serious guts and determination to do so. This is an example of courage because it's not only hard to stand in front of thousands of people but it is scary, especially for people in today's society. It take heart and not having fear to stand up for your beliefs. Williams said in has BET Award Humanitarian speech that “ ‘You’re free’ they tell us, but she would've been free if she hadn’t been so ‘free’.” The “she” he is referring to is Sandra Bland.

Those who agree with Christie would say restorative justice is a good approach, especially when dealing with young people. However, typically when a young person commits a crime it is often one that has to do with their circumstances. So in a case like this, they are an offender— but also a victim of their situation. More often than not, young people are criminalized for behaviours that are done out of survival. If restorative justice was used to solve a case like this, the only thing that would happen is that young person would be re victimized once the community got

Do you think Hammurabi’s laws were just or not? I’m going to talk about family law, property law, and personal-injury law. The most common punishment was to get your hands cut off. My paragraphs are going to convince you to believe that Hammurabi’s Code was not just.

18-year-old Ethan Couch killed four pedestrians and injured two others while driving drunk in 2013. The media refers to Couch, in headlines and elsewhere, as the "affluenza" teen. Affluenza is a psychological malaise that supposedly affects wealthy young people, symptoms of which include a lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a lack of judgment for right and wrong. This disorder may have led him into a sense of irresponsibility and clouded his sense of judgment. The question is; if Couch was truly raised without a sense of right or wrong, then how can we expect him to behave in a way that is acceptable? Many others still say he deserves to get help, however, he also deserves to face the consequences. The “affluenza defense” did, in fact,

There was not any particular policy adopted by Michael Plummer Sr. for remuneration and hiring employees. Cliff Hallmark, who’s the chief financial officer of the company since 2009, said “Michael Sr. was paying people who didn’t actually do anything, Instead of hiring the right person for the job, he hired friends." At the time when Plummer Jr. took over the business, He found out, his father was paying for car washes and massages for many employees and giving money for the rent to several cash-strapped friends. Plummer Sr. also allocated cash to many employees when they ran into any financial problems which also had created many problems for the company. Larry Neal, who was franchisee of Our Town America in Detroit, said, "Michael Sr. gave

Mattie’s approach to justice is not justified. I feel this way because first you need to know that without a reasonable doubt that whatever you’re convicting someone of the right charges. It also depends on the situation because if someone steals my pencil, I will be fine with that and not require any type of payment in return. Also my religious upbringing tells me to not take revenge on someone and to rely on God to help that person not do it again. I also believe that you need to have a fair trial if you are to punish someone of something you think they’ve done. That way the court can look over every single possibility to make sure that the person convicted was rightfully convicted. I believe also that because someone has done one wrong

Imagine you were the judge would you rather want 14 year old Pony boy Curtis to be in a foster care or live with his two brothers Soda pop and Darry ? I think Pony boy should be in foster care for a suitable environment. I think he should be in here for three reason one is adults available, want let him run the streets, and they have better homes.
