203 Words1 Page

Mr. Anthony Wright was charged with first-Degree Rape, burglary, robbery and possession of an instrument of crime in 1991. The evidence against Mr. Wright is the clothing that Mr. Wright allegedly used to commit the crime, his voluntary, and complete signed confession after 14 minutes in custody and they had five witnesses to testified against Wright. There were so many flaws in this case, the clothes at the scene did not belong to Mr. Wright and the officers used two known crack dealers and three teenagers as witnesses against Wright. No one bothered to interview any witnesses to rule out Mr. Wright. He was nowhere near the victim’s home and he worked full-time and went to the club afterwards.

    331 Words  | 2 Pages

    The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program.

In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

There was much racial disparity surrounding the jury on Dixon’s case, in that the county that Dixon committed his “crime” was a predominantly white population.
