154 Words1 Page

A man who lives in Mount Zion killed his wife because he wanted money. He was trying to earn $700,000 in life insurance, if his wife had an accidental death. Hee would’ve received those $700,000, in addition to $500,000 due to the life insurance’s policy. Therefore, he decided to drown his wife in a bathtub at their home, in which she died. But, now the man is now facing 45 years in jail. I feel as if the man deserved more time in prison, because it was first-degree murder. Meaning he planned what he was going to do and how it was all going to happen. The man who killed his wife was selfish, he choose money over someone’s life. What he did was wrong, and I feel as if he deserved more time in jail. The way the author wrote the article was

  • The Case Of Gerard Baden-Clay

    1142 Words  | 5 Pages

    The public has reacted with incredulity that the court’s definition of behaviour showing “innocence of murder” could include the extended deception and dishonest conduct of this man, who has continued, day after day, month after month, year after year to conceal the truth about his wife’s death (Couriermail 2016). The success of Baden-Clay’s appeal in turn, influences others in similar situations of spouse homicide and not only allows but encourages this deceptive behaviour. This would surely be detrimental to all of Queensland society and create an unsafe culture by opening this type of opportunity for future homicides and killings if all it takes to win a spouse homicide case was to dispose of the body so that there is no recognisable signs of trauma and enough evidence to be convicted of

  • Murderer Is A Sane Analysis

    612 Words  | 3 Pages

    The murderer is and was sane, and should serve jail-time. The murderer is sane because rather than the murderer thinking that the crime he committed was acceptable (as an insane person would), he instead knew that it was wrong, he also showed that he was in control of his actions when committed the murder. This contradicts the definition of insanity, as the definition reads, “Insanity is a mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot manage his/her own affairs, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.”. However the murderer shows time and time again that he was in control, that he knew exactly what he was doing, and that he knew what he was doing was wrong.

His defense argued he suffered from “affluenza,” an unrecognized mental illness characterized by wealthy young people who, because of their privilege and wealth, do not understand the consequence of their actions. Had Ethan Couch not had a privileged upbringing he would have had a more serious charge. Wealthy people get off easier when they break the law.
