'Constructed In The Film Clyde'
In the film, Clyde is a respectable and innocent man until his wife and 5-year-old daughter were raped and brutally murdered right in front of him. Helpless, Clyde watched as his everything died before his eyes, along with his sanity. The two men that broke into his home when it happened were both arrested and taken to court. Only one of the men were convicted and got the death penalty. The other called by his last name, Darby, who actually did the killing and raping, got a few years in prison then was set free back into the world. Clyde’s lawyer, Nick, made a deal with Darby to confess that he helped murder the wife and child, but to agree to testify against the other man, Ames, who broke into the house with him. Angry at the corrupt …show more content…
Ten years later, Ames was executed. Clyde replaced the drug that was usually used with an anticonvulsant, causing him to die painfully. He somehow frames Darby for replacing the drug. He also read law books and American rights books, that furthered his knowledge so he could be smart or even smarter than they were. To start his plans off, he does the very thing he’d been fantasizing about for all these years; he tricked Darby into running from the cops and running straight to him where he used venom found in puffer fish to paralyze him while still keeping him conscious. He tortured him by cutting off his limbs and body parts, one by one. He videorecorded all of this and made sure he felt and saw it all as he dismembered him. He had the video sent to Nick’s house where his daugter and wife ended up watching it. He knew he would get taken to prison for doing all of this, but that is exactly what he wanted in order to get justice for himself and revenge on everyone involved in the system. He made sure that the evidence tied back to him so he could willingly surrender and go to …show more content…
There, he could go in through the tunnels and activate bombs and whatever else he needed in order to get his point across. He had written plans, information, and access to the prison cameras so he could watch everyone carefully to see when he could strike next. He did all of this in the years of planning before he was taken to prison. He also set off bombs underneath many cars in the parking lot of the prison. He warned Nick that if they didn’t set him free by six o’clock, that he would kill everyone. He ended up only killing Nick’s friend and assisant, Sarah, by blowing her car up when she was inside. All because of Nick made a deal with Clyde’s family’s muderer and let him off with only a few years in prison, he has watched many of his coworkers die. Nick met with Clyde and punched him repeatedly. Clyde stood and told him that he is just getting started on destroying the system and all who believe in

    Sure enough, that is exactly what happened. At approximately 9:15 a.m. on May 23, 1934, Clyde was driving a tan Ford V-8 down the road when he spotted Iverson's truck. When he slowed down, the six police officers opened fire. With no advanced warning, Bonnie and Clyde had little time to react. Both Clyde and Bonnie died quickly from over 130 bullets that were fired at the couple. When the shooting ended, the policemen found that the back of Clyde's head had exploded and part of Bonnie's right hand had been shot off.…

    I believe that one possible defense for this spree that Clyde started down was the provocation of being in love and wanting to impress Bonnie. One of the best defenses that I believe that Bonnie or Clyde could have used was the insanity plea. After the murders began and Bonnie and Clyde could have used the prosecutorial misconduct, but that would have been too late since they were already executed.…

    L I z z I e B o r d e n A little over a century ago a gruesome double murder was committed, in the 2-½ story house at 92 Second Street, in Fall River, Massachusetts. This crime shocked the nation as Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old Sunday school teacher, went on trial for the murder of her father and her stepmother. An all male jury eventually acquitted her on the accusations. To this day, the murderer of Andrew J. Borden and Abby Gray Borden is still unknown, but in the public mind everyone believes it was Lizzie Borden. Lizzie was born and grew up in Fall River, Mass. She was the youngest daughter of Andrew Jackson Borden, who was a very successful Banker and Sarah Morse Borden. Sarah died when Lizzie was very young and Andrew then married Abby Durfee Gray. Lizzie grew up with an elder sister, Emma. Neither of them has ever married. The sisters hated their stepmother, mainly because of the family’s inferior social position. On the day of August 4, 1892, the bodies of Andrew Borden and his wife were found mutilated. As opposed to 40 whacks, in the popular rhyme, 19 blows struck Abby Borden by a hatchet or axe to the back of her head and neck. At the time she was cleaning the guestroom of the family home, at 9:30 am. Andrew Borden, who had returned home around 10:30 am, after his daily business had been attended to, was either napping or reading the newspaper on a couch in the parlor, when he was attacked. 11 blows were rained upon Mr. Borden's head and face, to the point that one eye hung from its socket upon his cheek, and his close friend and physician, Dr. Bowen, couldn’t recognize him. There were only two people in or about the house at the time of the killings, Lizzie Andrew Borden and Bridget Sullivan, the Borden's maid. There is some speculation as to others that may have been responsible for these heinous acts. Among the other alleged killers are John Morse, the brother of Andrew's first wife, a secret lover Lizzie was said to have, though never named, Emma…
