Argumentative Essay: Should The Kid Become Guilty?
The kid would have to be guilty, there was enough proof to prove he was guilty. The kid should be guilty because there was so much proof that he was guilty that its ridiculous. If the kid wasn’t guilty he could have had so much evidence to prove he wasn’t including the pockets that had the hole in them or the movie ticket he had when he watched the movie at the theaters. He didn’t have the movie ticket so he couldn’t prove he was at the movies at the time of the killing. He didn’t have the pants or whatever he was wearing that had the holes in the pocket to prove he lost his switch blade in there.
The kid went to the theaters the day of his fathers death and forgot what movie he watched. There could be no way he forgot what movie he watched

He supposedly lost it in his pocket because it had a hole in there. The knife he supposedly lost was the same knife that stabbed his father. 8th juror said “No. I'm saying it's possible that the boy lost the knife and that someone else stabbed his father with a similar knife. It's possible” (Rose 23) The day the kid bought the knife is the same day his father died. There is a big chance that didn’t happen, and if it did he could of proved he lost the knife by showing the actual clothing he had that had the hole in the pocket. That wouldn’t fully prove that he lost the knife that way, but it would of made the chance of him getting the death penalty way …show more content…
You know - living in a slum, his mother dead since he was nine. He spent a year and a half in an orphanage while his father served a jail term for forgery. That's not a very good head start. He had a pretty terrible sixteen years. I think maybe we owe him a few words. That's all” (Rose 13). Which proves that he has been living a bad life and that there would be no surprise that he actually stabbed his dad. Since he lived that way he couldn’t learn from whats good and bad. He lived a bad life and also his dad was mean to him, theres a high chance that he stabbed his

    4. I believe this was an example of win-win negotiations. I feel this way because towards the end of the movie the other 11 jurors need to come to a conclusion based on facts that were given, and they had to use deductive reasoning to do so. The boy was acquitted with the charges dropped, as a result of the win-win negotiations.…

    All three of the boys should have been charged for what happened the night of January 18th. Weather they be charged for being there and taking place at the night of the murder or providing weapons. Using the evidence that was at the crime scene could have clearly helped Miguel Martinez receive a smaller sentence, and justify putting the other two boys in jail as well. I also believe that the police and maybe even the DAs office could have tampered with the evidence being lost or…

    On July 15th 2008, Caylee Anthony was reported missing by her mother, Casey Anthony. Casey Anthony said that her daughter was kidnapped by their “Zanny”, but it was later found that she had lied about having a nanny. Weeks later, Caylee’s body was found in a wooded area not too far from their house and Casey was being held for the murder of her daughter. Casey claimed her daughter had accidentally drowned in their pool and as a result, she became panic-stricken and did not know what to do, she acted as if the drowning never happened. The prosecution believed Casey drugged her daughter with chloroform and suffocated her by situating tape over her nose and mouth. A single strand of hair was found, in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car, which demonstrated post-mortem banding which was found to belong to Caylee Anthony. Along with the strand of hair, Casey’s car gave off an effluvium of a corpse but she claimed the odor was set in place by her…

    Oj Simpson Research Paper

    The first point is that there was a knife found in Simpson’s home. It was purchased by Simpson before the murder occurred. The coroner says that the wounds on the two corpses indicated that the knife was a single edged knife, which matches the knife recently purchased aby Simpson. The doctor who looked the knife over says that he cannot be certain of the knife being the murder weapon, yet the murder weapon has never been found. In addition to this, when Simpson learns of the knife being found in his home, he was quoted as being “a bit nervous” of the knife that had been discovered. Why be nervous if it wasn’t used? The doctors never gave a definite answer on how the knife wasn’t used. They said they can’t be certain. The police posted that the knife wasn’t used, yet they never explained how it was proven to be clean. They simply said it wasn’t the weapon and went about their business. This is obviously reason to believe that the knife is the weapon used in the murder. The doctors aren’t positive, the police aren’t descriptive, and Simpson is “a bit nervous” of a knife found on his…

They stated that a witness testified that she saw a Ford Bronco, the brand of car driven by OJ at the time, speeding away from Nicole’s home on the night of the murder.

Additionally, OJ Simpson did not have an alibi and changed his story an abundance of times. Lastly, a pair of socks found in…

    Biased testimony towards the defendant resulted in a prejudice jury. Very frequently, statements like ‘We heard the facts, didn’t we?’ or ‘Pay attention to the facts’ are expressed in the jury room. The 4th Juror cited that the murder weapon was a knife so unique that ‘the storekeeper who sold it to him identified the knife in court and said it was the only one of its kind he ever had in stock.’ The 8th Juror argues that ‘It’s possible that the boy lost the knife and that someone else stabbed his father with a similar knife.’ None of the Juror’s believes this possibility as they have already established their prejudices against the accused. The 10th Juror says ‘Let’s talk facts. These people are born to lie… They think different. They act different.’ These are not ‘facts’ but prejudice opinions made by the 10th Juror about the socio-economic status of the boy. It can assumed that the ‘facts’ presented in this case can be viewed as biased opinions and reports that impairs the true facts.…

    The court filed Zimmerman as not guilty. He never denied shooting the teen, but he said he was defending himself. I don’t think it was self defense. He didn’t shoot him because he had to, he shot him because he wanted to. I believe Zimmerman should have been charged with manslaughter.…

    During the trial, the prosecution asserted that the children were killed as part of a satanic ritual. Believing that the boys were Satan worshipers since they wore dark clothing, seemed to be Gothic, and had long hair. This was very judgmental of the police to base this as evidence because you can't judge a book by its cover.…

    That's what the problem is making it seem like every kid is innocent and had a reason for their actions. When I look at it in my eyes a crime is a crime you make your own choices anger should never be that built up. Even if it is you shouldn't kill not one person. Let's just be honest some people even do time for their child actions. From personal experience, I think that the evidence in many cases isn't good enough to argue who did it and why. Furthermore to explain a boy had a gun and his father took the fall for it. Which that child knew exactly what had done and the actions he had committed and not once still to this day the police haven't found…

    Juveniles should not be let off easy because it increase that chances of it occurring again because they did not receive the punishment. The consequences of a juvenile's action should not be determined by race, ethnicity, gender and color of skin as well as economic status. We shouldn’t their enablers, we should let know and experience that every single action has it’s consequence. If teens can plan a murder confess it and not feel any remorse they should also be given the proper punishment and face time in prison. I do not think it is wrong, I believe that it is just to trial a juvenile as an…

    Juvenile Justice has been a prominent controversy in present day society. We can observe how the majority of crimes committed are being perpetrated by adolescents. The disputation arises on whether the Supreme Court justice should abolish mandatory life in prison for pubescents who commit the immorality of murder or authorize the punishment with parole. Although many can challenge this contrary issue, I concur with ideology of the Supreme Court ruling that juveniles who engage in murder could not be sentenced to life in prison due to the protection the 8th amendment granting defense from cruel and unusual punishment.…
