    Case Study: Serratos V. Tyson Foods

    Unfortunately, a corporation can be charged and convicted of any number of crimes. If the employees or officers within a corporation violate the law on behalf of the corporation and within the scope of their employment, the corporate entity would be open to criminal charges. Corporations can be convicted of criminal wrongdoing in the same manner individuals are charged and convicted. In addition, individuals within the corporation can be charged as well. Commonly, when a corporation is charged, many of the top officers will be charged along with the corporation as an entity.…

    Hostess vs Bakers Union

    Hostess vs Bakers Union

    The news story of Hostess going bankrupt and the Bakers union going on strike was very clear, but it was not completely accurate with sufficient depth and breadth. It is known why Hostess filed for bankruptcy, but there was not sufficient information as to what the Bakers union was expecting. From all of the news stories that I have read, it seems as if all of the facts are present except for the ignored fact of what the Bakers Union was demanding. The story did not consider alternative perspectives and worldviews. There were not any views debuted to the public, but the views of the company and a judge. A judge ordered mediation between Hostess and the Bakers union because the judge did not feel that all alternatives were taken into consideration. There is a questionable assumption that the company was holding back and not being 100 percent truthful and negotiating in good faith with the Bakers union. The implications that were being ignored were that of the company finally deciding to go bankrupt. The implications that were empathized were that of the 18, 500 Bakers union workers losing their jobs. It is important to make distinctions when undertaking a critical evaluation because not everyone involved knows all of the facts to make concrete decisions. If the Bakers union took the time to completely evaluate the predicament, they would have just taken cutbacks instead of losing their jobs entirely. The Bakers union looked at themselves in a different light, whereas the Hostess Company was accumulating more debt. The Bakers union did not want to compromise the benefits that they had and Hostess had to make an executive decision. Hostess was doing what was best for the company and their shareholders, while the Bakers union decided to go on strike demanding nothing less than the benefits already given. Which in turn, lead them to be without…

    Connecticut V. Cardwell Case Study

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

    Case Essay: The Texas Vs. Cobb

    In the Texas vs Cobb case a man named Raymond Levi Cobb was first arrested in 1994 and confessed to a home burglary. In this process he denied that he killed the woman and child in the home but later confessed to his father which his father then went to report this to the police. Even though Cobb later waived his Miranda rights and confessed he was still indicted and sentenced to death. Cobb argued to the Texas Court of Appeals that after his confession he was denied his right to counsel because his request for an attorney wasn’t renewed after the burglary case. The Court later said that the right to counsel carries onto the reason charged if any other offenses are closely related to the case. It was then declared with a five to four vote under…

    Confessions: The Debra Sue Carter Court Case

    In the early 1980’s in a small Podunk town of Ada, Oklahoma, a young woman named Debra Sue Carter, was savagely raped and killed in her own apartment after work at the local cocktail bar. Quickly, the town drunk was arrested in relation to the rape and murder with nothing more than a single “eyewitness” that placed him at the woman’s job that night. Many regulars to the bar said that “they would know if Ron Williamson was at the Coach Light and he wasn’t there.” They, in fact, named another man: Glenn Gore, the prosecution's main witness. Gore was also the man that Debbie’s friend said that she was afraid of and he was supposedly at Debbie’s apartment the night of the murder, according to the friend who received a phone call that night from Debbie. Gore was also seen being pushed away by the victim at the victim’s car the same night as the murder.…

    Burwell V. Hobby Lobby Case Study

    In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court made the wrong decision because a company is not a person and thus does not have the same rights as one. Hobby Lobby employs 23,000 people, all of which could receive all 20 state covered forms of birth-control. The owner of Hobby Lobby felt that certain forms terminated a life, which many doctors disagree with. Hobby Lobby claimed they were being forced to allow employees to receive these forms violated their religious rights and decided to pursue a court case against the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Sylvia Burwell.…

    Powell v Alabama case study

    A group of African-American youths were on a freight train through Alabama. They got into a fight with some white youths, throwing the white boys from the train. A message was sent, requesting all blacks be removed from the train. Two white girls on the train testified that they had been raped by six different youths in turn. The youths were taken into custody. The community was very hostile, as a mob met the youths. The trial judge appointed “all members of the bar” for the purpose of the arraignment. The defendants themselves were illiterate and “ignorant”. They were all tried separately, each trial lasting a day, convicted, and sentenced to death. Throughout the proceedings, none of the “Scottsboro” boys was allowed to contact their relatives, who lived out of State. On the day of the trial, an out-of-town attorney appeared for the defendants but announced that he could not formally represent them. The trial judge called on all the local lawyers present to assume responsibility for defending the nine young men, but only one agreed. The two lawyers had no opportunity to investigate the case or consult with their “clients.” All nine youths were found guilty by four separate juries, despite testimony from doctors who said they found no evidence of rape upon examining the women. Eight of the nine men received the death penalty. The convictions were appealed through the State courts of Alabama, and failing there, went to the Supreme Court.…

    A Brief Note On The Atkins Vs. Virginia Case

    The death penalty, no matter your opinion on the practice of it, is a reality in thirty-one of the fifty states within America. With that being said, a group of people is exempt from being placed on death row due to the Atkins v. Virginia case; the mentally disabled. Bobby James Moore was convicted of capital murder in 1980. He shot a seventy-year-old store clerk in Houston, Texas and his sentence, affirmed on appeal, was execution. In 2001, after a court granted habeas, Moore argue that the Atkins v.
