Justice In The Film A Few Good Men

“...legal concept that empowers judges to order imprisoned persons to be brought to court to determine if they are being legally held,” from an article “Lincoln and the “Writ of Liberty””, showing how Herold could have lived. Herold had the brains but it is undeniable that he did it against his own will. He was introduced to Booth by John Surratt and was invited to do the job, because he knew the lands so well. Once again, near the end of John Wilkes Booth’s, he went against him and left him to die. This should prove that Herold was never on his side to begin with, and should be set

The hanging of Tathlasut was an extreme, and could be considered a misstep, as Thomas Williams was only shot and didn’t die. This made the hanging unheard of, severe and out of practice in the way of the Crown, because a death penalty was never used “unless life had actually be taken”. Though Douglas often believed that he was doing very peaceful and non-threatening negotiations, the people he dealt with didn’t always agree that this was clearly conveyed. “The threat of total annihilation backed by an incredible array of fire-power achieved Douglas’ aim.” The treaties he earlier created are often scrutinized as they offer very little compensation on the Native’s side of the deal. Blankets in exchange of the loss of their right of land forever doesn’t seem very fair.

This proves to be significant because this shows the lengths that Ronnie is willing to go to in order to keep his friend safe. Withholding information from the police about a murder can make you an accessory to the crime, despite knowing this he was willing to lie and possibly endanger himself. Obstructing justice so that your friend can be safe is a very difficult decision to make, as it affects more than just you. The parents of Gene Hanlon would be devastated to not know how their son died, the police will have spent lots of their time and money on a case that only two people truly understand how it unfolded. The soldier in the story “Gregory” also made many sacrifices for his friend, but in a much more subtle way.

The evidence boils down to you-did-I-didn 't. The jury couldn 't possibly be expected to take Tom Robinson 's word against the Ewells, '" Atticus solemnly explains this to his brother. First of all, Atticus demonstrates courage when he undertakes the task of defending Tom Robinson, a black man wrongly accused of rape. Atticus knows he won 't win the case and like Mrs. Dubose in her battle against morphine, he is "licked" before he begins. Nevertheless, Atticus knows that Tom is innocent and that he must fight for him, since no one else will.

The judicial system is very important in the administration of justice for any society. Functions of the system are clearly stipulated and defended by the constitution of any nation. For a judge to pass a ruling on a suspect, the trial has to go through several stages before a final ruling is arrived at. Thus, one would believe the judgments made are considered fair making the judicial system a defender of justice and fairness. Occasionally, there are circumstances involved that may cause innocent individuals to be punished for crimes they did not commit.

Atticus had proved that Tom was innocent by saying “We don’t know, but there is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewell was beaten savagely by someone who led almost exclusively with his left. . . Tom Robinson now sits before you, having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses—his right hand.” (Lee 208). This quote shows that the jury should of acquitted Tom because Atticus gave enough evidence to prove his innocent.

The civil war was a bloody and gruesome fight to preserve a way of life that was looked upon as immoral and unconstitutional. John Sherman described in a letter the views of soldiers and men, “The same qualities that have enabled a single generation of men to develop the resources of a continent would enable us to destroy it more rapidly.” Government leaders and soldiers ignored the work that went into building America and were able to accept the killings fellow men or other innocent people without shedding a tear because of the need to feel superior to other men. Other leaders of war learned to settle with the consequences of war, “war means fighting and fighting means killing” (Forrest). The ability to kill because “it’s just war” is a learned characteristic after being involved in so many brutal and atrocious events. The human emotions become immune to sensitive events and the detachment is a mechanism to cope with the consequences of

Every juror had his own set of prejudices which gave way to so many fallacies to come up.

He decided what he felt was right and refused to stray from it. His decision, along with those of others who did the same, eventually brought the chaos and hysteria to an end. John Proctor held firmly to what he believed was right, even in the face of great pressure. The pressure of the Salem witch trials elicited various responses from three of the characters in The Crucible; Parris fell victim to fear, Hale took on an entirely different worldview, and Proctor established himself as one who would stand for the truth. The ways these men reacted show us that pressure does not affect everyone in the same way.

Claim #2: Molly Morden is left with no other options but to resist because the invaders treat her husband malevolently. Support #2, 1: After the event in which Captain Bentick is killed by Alexander Morden, Colonel Lanser and Mayor Orden are conversing about the purpose of punishment and what punishment will do. In the midst of their conversation, Colonel Lanser reveals to Mayor Orden, “You know as well as I that punishment is largely for the purpose of deterring the potential criminal.

Not only did the attorney use no real evidence to support his case towards Jefferson but the attorney also was not confident in his case. In one part of the court scenes Jefferson’s attorney states “He is innocent from all charges against him. But let’s just say he was not. Let us for a moment say he was not. What justice would there be to take this life?” ( Gaines pg: 8) This is a perfect example on how the attorney believes Jefferson is guilty in his case because in the end he gave the jury a mental image for a moment to vision Jefferson being guilty and then comparing the relationship on whether it matters to keep this man alive or not.

While the variety of texts and media studied present a lot of different messages and truths about different topics, but the underlining truth for all of pieces is that, a person should fight against the strident circumstances in order to get the basic human rights and live a pleasant life.
