    Week 7 Case Study 3 Casey Anthony Trial

    In the year of 2011, Casey Anthony pleads not guilty for the charges put on her for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony’s (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). It all started when Casey’s grandmother had called 911 reporting that her granddaughter was missing and that her daughter’s truck smelled like a dead body (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). In a long story short Caylee’s skeletal remains were found near Casey’s house and throughout the time Anthony lied repeatedly regarding Caylee’s whereabouts (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). The truck was found in an abandoned parking lot and towed two weeks earlier and George Anthony which is Casey’s father had said it still smelled like a dead body as well (Casey Anthony Trial, 2011). As the trial went on there were statements made back and forth about who did what and some very detailed observations had begun to rise. Ultimately Casey Anthony was free to go and all the charges had dropped because of lack of evidence. There were many aspects in the computer forensic side of this trial.…

    The murder of JonBenét Ramsey is a case that still goes unsolved to this day. While some speculate that the mother and/or father had something to do with the murder of their daughter, others believe that an intruder is responsible for her death. There are multiple clues supporting each theory. Despite these contrasting theories, no one has ever been charged for this pageant queen’s murder. The parents were eventually acquitted when DNA at the scene was found to belong to a male not related to the Ramsey family. (“JonBenet Ramsey Murder Fast Facts.”)…

    Jack The Ripper Research Paper

    It has been 125 years since the Ripper murders occurred; it is amazing how much of the area has managed to survive since 1888. A quote from a letter about how Jack the Ripper kills his victims, “Jack's knife flashes, then there's but one, and the last one's the ripest for Jack's idea of fun.” It is clear from the evidence from the letters that he wrote to the authorities, authorities conclude that Jack the Ripper didn’t only murder for fun, but he thought it as his work as seen through his method of operation and his types of victims. Perhaps the true identity of this mysterious murderer will never be…

    Justine Moritz Proven Guilty

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here to present to you the guiltiness of Justine Moritz for the murder of the beloved William Frankenstein. To start it off, Justine doesn’t have the most reliable alibi from that night due to the staying out late, even though many witnesses saw her out late. Also, we know that one of the most crucial manifest of this murder is knowing that the locket seen on William just hours before his murder was suspiciously found in Justine’s pocket the day after. Unfortunately, it is a misfortune that I have to stand before all of you proving the guilt of this kind women, when it is just as easy to see past the evidence and go from what I feel in the heart. As she speaks, you can just hear the innocence in her voice as she utters, “God knows, how entirely I am innocent… and I hope the character I have always borne will incline my judges as a favourable interpretation,” (Shelley 65). However, it is my duty to prove to you why you must not follow your emotions, yet rather the staunch evidence stated in this argument. Even though she may use her charm, by the end of this argument, you will be surely convinced that Justine is guilty because of her suspicious alibi and noteworthy locket.…

    The Link between Crime and Mental Disorder

    The Link between Crime and Mental Disorder

    It is a common assumption, that whenever a brutal, violent or senseless crime is committed, it is by someone who is mentally ill or sick. Blaming violent and senseless crime on mental disorders may be comforting but it is not necessarily accurate. A stereotype has developed of the 'insane mass murderer' largely due to the media, however, research evidence suggests that this stereotype is far from accurate. Much research on the link between crime [specifically to this discussion, violent crime] and mental disorder has been conducted, however there are different factors that need to be taken into account when examining this link. Definition of mental disorder is a major one, along with possible uneven sample distributions. Also, there have been changes in mental health and criminal justice policies that have increasingly made hospitalisation restricted to those who are more socially disruptive or dangerous. With these considerations in mind, research evidence can be then be examined.…
