The editorial discloses the power that the Court adheres to and whether it should be accountable for the decision making of fugitive slaves. The writer had discussed that in no way did the verdict of the Dred Scott case follow an act of law, but was merely “nullity.” During the settlement, they decided that since Dred Scott’s master had brought him on free land in Missouri or of the United States without having a citizenship, which resulted in him having no case. It continues on to say that the jurisdiction of the case was influenced by opinion, which did not involve any legalities. The text also alluded to previous court cases, such as Marshall vs. Court and the National Back, where Congress was declared to having unconstitutional implementations, that were based on a loose structure.
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.

Key Facts: On December 18, 1992, two brothers were shot and killed in their Houston home after throwing a party the previous night. Police obtained six shotgun shells from the site and received a description of a potential suspect from a local neighbor. The investigation led the police to Salinas, who willingly agreed to relinquish his shotgun for ballistics testing and to accompany police for further questioning. The interview lasted approximately one hour, where both parties were later in agreement that Salinas was not detained nor was he read Miranda warnings. Salinas answered most questions during the interview, but fell silent when asked if “his shotgun ‘would match the shells recovered at the scene of the murder.’” Upon receiving more

Dred Scott was a African American born in 1795 (1800) to a slave family, in Southampton County, Virginia. Dred Scott was owned by Peter Blow and his family who later moved to Alabama then to Missouri. In the year 1832 Peter passed away Scott was then bought by an army surgeon Dr. John Emerson. In 1836 Scott fell in love with Harriet Robinson, Dr. Emerson bought her and they soon were wed. Soon after Emerson took both slaves and his family with him to the states of Illinois and Wisconsin both of which were free states at the time.

Labeled as the monstrosity Atlanta Child Murders AKA "The Night Stalker," Wayne Williams was only convicted of only killing two adults due to convincing circumstantial and DNA evidence. Williams was suspected of murdering at least 28 black youths from 1979 to 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a spree of child murders led to Williams’ arrest. Williams’ murder victims were male and female African American ranging from ages 9 and 17. Williams also murdered three adults during his killing saga. Each victim lived within the same geographic parameters of each other. They connected to Memorial Drive and 11 major streets in the area.

Depriving someone or a suspect of their rights is illegal. Title 18 of Section 242 makes acting under and color of law to deprive a person of the privilege or right protected by the Laws of the US or the Constitution (Deprivation Rights Under Color Law).

If any one conspires to deprive the suspect of their rights, immunities, or privileges protected by the Laws of the US or the Constitution, will be imprisoned for no more than a year or fined, if not both.

In my opinion from reading the conviction of Hiawatha Robinson case, I honestly think that he was guilty of the murder of his 8- year old daughter Hiawayi. The FBI and police had gathered so much information on Hiawatha that they could finally charge him of 1st degree murder of his daughter. The FBI had fingerprints, phone records, and even witnesses saying that Hiawatha was the last person to see his daughter alive. To murder your own daughter I think you have to be heartless and evil, especially a child he age of eight. Everyone expects Robinson to be sentenced to life in prison, meaning if he was eligible for parole he would get it after spending 24 years in prison first. Robinson never blamed nobody else for the murder of his daughter and
The Williams v. North Carolina case is a Supreme Court case in which the court decided that the federal government determines divorce and marriage statuses between state lines. It casted doubt over the validity of thousands of interstate divorces. Mr. Williams and Ms. Hendrix, who were both married, moved to Nevada for six weeks to become citizens of the state, and filed for divorce from their spouses. Their spouses, Carrie Wyke and Thomas Hendrix, were unaware that the divorces were being filed. Once the divorces were final, Mr. Williams and Ms. Hendrix married and then moved back to North Carolina. They lived there together until they were charged by the state of North Carolina for bigamous cohabitation.
Mrs. Grinder, the only witness there at the time of his death says in her statement that she herself found him crawling on the floor yelling water. These two pieces of evidence prove that multiple people were involved, his servants and Mrs. Grinder. Since physical evidence prove he was found in his bed, Mrs. Grinders’ statements are not factual. Mrs. Grinder statements are also proven to be not factual because prior to her latest statement she had two statements. All three of her statements had different accounts of what happened. The physical evidence also shows both of the horse pistols that were used. The pistols were on the sides of his body, but that was not where the bullet wounds were in his body. The bullets were found in his skull and his upper stomach. If he was to shoot himself the gun would land on his stomach and behind his head. This evidence proves he was murdered because he would not be able to shoot himself in those places where the bullets were and the guns land on his side. Also if he was to shoot himself in his head or stomach in would only take one shot that would be
The defendant boarded the same subway train in Manhattan and sat in the same car that had the four victims. Goetz had a .38 caliber pistol with five bullets in his possession. Canty, with the possibility of Allen beside him approached the defendant stating, “give me five dollars.” The defendant pulled out his firearm and shot four of the five shots. Canty was shot in the chest, Allen was shot in the back, and Ramseur was shot in the left arm. The bullet that was fired at Cabey missed. The defendant fired another shot at Cabey. The bullet severed Cabey's spinal cord. When the conductor came to inspect the shootings, the defendant stated that the four boys were trying to rob him and fled the scene. Ramseur and Canty were in critical condition when the police and paramedics arrived and Cabey has suffered brain damage. The defendant surrendered to police in Concord, New Hampshire on December 31, 1984. Goetz admitted that he was carrying a handgun illegally for three years. He had purchased the gun in 1981 because of a prior mugging that happened to him and he had used the handgun to ward off assailants twice. The defendant stated that the smile on Canty's face when he said, “give me five dollars” made him determine that Canty wanted to rob him. The defendant also stated the pattern of fire from the scene, stating that he shot left to right. He claimed his intentions were to murder or hurt the four youths. Goetz also claimed that, “if I had one more bullets, I would have shot them again, and again, and
