Here are some of the most unforgettable crimes in American history.

“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.” Emma Goldman

    Brown-Simpson and Goldman were found dead with several wounds from a gruesome stabbing at Nicole’s condominium in California. After Simpson was detained, the police had found several items in the Bronco including $8,000 in cash, a passport, a family picture, a change of clothes, and a gun. They had also found a fake goatee and mustache so Simpson could hide his identity so no one would try to find him or he would be an unknown alias. Shauna remembers being 1 of the 95 million media viewers watching the white Ford Bronco go at a very low speed on the roads of Interstate 405 in Southern California on national television stations including ABC, MSNBC, and CNN as Cowlings and Simpson were in a low-speed chase against the police.

I believe that all the penalties affecting the present and future football program and completely just. Although, I do not think that it is okay to punish the players of those who were not on the team from 1998-2011. The players after 2011 had nothing to repulsive acts by Jerry Sandusky or the cover-up that occurred with the Penn State Office.

    Moreover, Beccaria states that punishments are atrocious, and their public and solemn cruelty can only be reduced by enhancing their usefulness and consistency with the law (Baruchello, 2004).
