These past few weeks I have read the book The Brass Verdict, written by Michael Connelly, and is the second installment in the Haller series. This marvelous book was published on October 14, 2008 and is 422 pages in length. The crime and fiction novel is based around the main character named Michael (Mickey) Haller, who is a defense attorney in the city of Los Angeles. Despite spending a year recovering from his wounds, as well as an addiction to painkillers from the previous installment, Mickey is requested to return to his career of law after an old defense attorney friend of his, Jerry Vincent, was murdered. He is called to take on Vincent's workload, which contains many cases, such as the notorious trial of Walter Elliott. Elliott

We have court trials monthly, whether it's minor or major. But, without a witness how will the jury pick a side and decide if the accused is guilty or not guilty? As trails exist in non-fiction they exist in fiction. “To Kill a Mockingbird” trial and the Zimmerman trial have similarities and differences. But they also have the central idea of racism and judgement of the jury.

The chilling allegory, Something Wicked This Way Comes, written by Ray Bradbury, teaches readers about friendship, time, fear and good vs. evil through the tale of two thirteen year old boys, Jim Nightshade and Will Holloway, and their coming-of-age story. This novel was published in 1962 and later set a new approach to writing horror stories. Bradbury uses Jim Nightshade to depict the evils of desires and Will Holloway to show how the devotion of a true friend can save people. In this novel, each character has a specific role that teaches the reader a lesson on morals.

The book “To Kill a Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee and the article “Scottsboro Boys Trial” both contain controversial court cases. For “To Kill a Mockingbird” a black male named Tom Robinson was accused of raping a white woman named Mayella Ewell. In the “Scottsboro Boys Trial” nine young black men and teenagers are accused of raping two white females named Victoria Price and Ruby Bates. Both cases transpired in the 1930s in Alabama. This is bad for the accused as racism was at an all-time in the 1930s especially in the deep south. This was around the time when the Jim Crow Laws were still intact and black people were not still considered people and they would still lynch black people. If a black man was accused of any crime involving a white person the jury would take the white man's word over the black man’s word. These exact things

The Crucible was created in 1953, which shows the story of the Salem witch trials. This event occurred in Massachusetts Bay around the time1692-1693. The plot of the crucible started when a group of girl claimed that they were dancing in the forest with Tituba (slave). The girls were caught by Reverend Parris (Minister). Parris’s daughter (Betty), ends up falling in a coma but we later found out that she was faking being in a coma because she was scared that she going to get in trouble. The Climax of this play is when the main character make one decision that changes the whole outcome off the play. Throughout The Crucible Arthur Miller has two most important Motif which are Misguided Motive and Vengeance. Arthur Miller presents the idea

Although the evidence pulled by the the distraught citizens is strong, owners Max Blanck and Isaac Harris along with their lawyer Max Steuer have the right to defend themselves and give their side of the case. They claim that they locked the doors in order to keep the workers from stealing as said back in the History.com article when it states “There were two stairways down to the street, but one was locked from the outside to prevent stealing and the other only opened inward.” This quote plainly shows how the doors stopped the workers from exiting. Going along with that, some workers of the factory even said that the doors were actually unlocked and that there was no way to prove that the doors were locked. The article “Summation

On April 9th, 1974, a young woman at the age of 17 was found in a farmhouse in Blakesburg, Iowa. Her name was Mary Jayne Jones, and she had been sexually assaulted and shot in both her heart and head at close range with a high-powered rifle. Miss Jones was originally from North Carolina, but had moved to Iowa to assist her expectant sister, Mrs. Pat (Jacque) Williams, but decided to stay. At the time, she was working at Henry’s Drive-in restaurant in Ottumwa, Iowa. Mary was living with one of her coworkers, Lynn Guyette, and was dating a man named Art. Her landlord, Roy Ware, said that he received a letter dated April 9th containing a rent check and notice of Lynn living there, and Mary’s family in North Carolina also received a

Many people who first see this book might read the title and ask what vindication is. Vindication is nothing more than defense or justification. In this book by James C. Curtis we see Andrew Jackson constantly looking for some kind of justification to his actions. Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767 and named after his father who had passed away. His mother also left him and then later died while he was still fairly young. From the time he was young to the time he died, Andrew Jackson faced many hardships. After being confronted by death at a young age, he spent his life trying to prove to himself why he should still be alive. Even with all of the obstacles in his life, he went on to become one of America’s greatest army generals and presidents. All this can be tied into the author’s main point which is that we must set aside all of the great things that Andrew Jackson accomplished and look more into the setbacks he powered through to reach his goals.

What man has nerve to do, man has not nerve to hear. What brother man and brother Christian must suffer, cannot be told us, even in our secret chamber, it so harrows up the soul. And yet, O my country, these things are done under the shadow of thy laws! O Christ, thy church sees them almost in silence!

In the years 1945 and 1949 justice would ring for those who had suffered, was tortured, and those who did not survive in the Holocaust. Nazi generals and many higher ranking leaders were tried for the injustice done to millions of people. These justice trials were best known as the Nuremberg trials.

There was a large quantity of defendants in the major war figures trial, but I find five very important. One of these is Karl Doenitz. He was a German admiral who would eventually command entire navy, he was chosen by Hitler to succeed him as Führer, and he negotiated surrender following Hitler’s suicide. Doenitz stated, on May 27th, 1946, “Politicians

During the Holocaust millions of people were killed by the Nazis because they were not the ideal race. The Nuremberg Trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany. The judges of the trials were from Great Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, and France. These trials were held to bring justice to all the lives lost during World War two. After the Holocaust, the Nuremberg Trials were held to bring justice to Nazi officials, Industrialists, but failed to punish those who escaped.
