Erik As An Adult With Accessory: A Case Study
I am charging Erik as an adult with Accessory. Charging him with accessory will be meaningful to both families because of the murder of the friends mom. It will give the families of the deceased some closure that he has been charged with. It will give the offender his needed punishment. This sentence will rehabilitate by him realizing how serious of an offence he committed. While in jail he will most likely seek alcohol and drug intervention as well. This sentence will help him reintegrate by him being substance abuse clean and regretful for the decision he chose. He will be more responsible to be able to interact with society.

    Miguel Angel Martinez Murder

    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…

    Sentencing Proposal FINAL

    My team and I believe there was a crime committed and at some point the defendant was in the victims home and stole some of her property. There was a fight or struggle of some sort because the victim has the defendants skin under her fingernails. Drugs were found in both party’s apartments, blood stained the carpet and rope was discovered in the victims’ apartment, which was used to tie the victim up at some point. In the defendants home a journal was discovered with strange journal entries talking about God’s work and purchasing rope, rags and a hunting knife to fulfill his destiny. 300 photos were hung all over the wall and the defendant was talking about being God and about aliens. If you want to charge the defendant with murder you need physical proof my client murdered the victim. Yes, we realize the evidence may point to the defendant committing the crime and maybe he did kill Miss Opee but at this time we do not know for certain. Even though we have all this evidence against Mr. Dents, the only real solid evidence you have is the skin under the fingernails. We do not know if that came from a struggle, a fight, she could have slapped him for some reason or it could have even been from a consensual sexual encounter between the two of them. You did not find a murder weapon, so it will be a tough case to prove he murdered her. In our opinion I believe he should have a psych evaluation administered to even determine if he is able to stand trial based on his mental status. Pending the results the defendant should either be released on bail until the trial or if he is found to be not in a state of mind to stand trial, he should be sent to a hospital to get the mental help he needs. Once he is released from the mental hospital, and there is evidence that his health has improved and he is able to stand trial, at that moment we can put him in front of a jury of his peers,…

    Book Review for: No Matter How Loud I Shout, by Edward Humes

    Throughout the book, Humes introduces the reader to several youthful offenders as they pass through the juvenile justice system. These offenders come from a variety of backgrounds, and have committed a variety of crimes, but most of them were involved in violent felonies. A dividing issue within the juvenile justice system is whether to transfer juvenile offenders to the adult criminal justice system. Humes clearly illustrates that making this distinction based on age- sixteen in California- is arbitrary and flawed. One boy shot the couple that employed him, and that he claimed to love, in the back of the head with a shotgun, point blank. The boy spent his time in court giggling, waving to his parents, lying on the stand, and showing no remorse. However, because Ronald Duncan was nine days shy of sixteen when he committed this heinous crime, he cannot be transferred to adult court. As such, the maximum amount of time the system can keep him off the street is until he is twenty-five. That is a maximum sentence of only nine years for a premeditated double homicide. Geri Vance’s case stands in startling contrast. Coerced into a robbery, he and his partner attempted to steal cash at gunpoint from a front desk clerk at a motel.…

    Case Brief

    This case in Fenton, Missouri involves 17 yrs. old Christopher Simmons born in 1993. Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer were Christopher Simmons friends and accomplices. Christopher Simmons planned and committed a capital murder along with Charles Benjamin. The plan was to commit burglary and murder by breaking and entering, tying up Shirley Crook, and tossing her off a bridge. The three boys met at 2am in the morning however, Tessmer then dropped out of the plan. Simmons and Benjamin broke into Mrs. Crook's home, bound her hands and covered her eyes. They put Mrs. Crook in a minivan drove her to a state park and threw her off a bridge. Once the case was brought to trial court, the evidence was solid and overwhelming. Simmons had confessed to the murder, performed a videotaped reenactment at the crime scene, and there was testimony from John Tessmer against him that showed premeditation. After the crime Christopher discussed the plot in advance and later bragged about the crime. After 2 hours of investigation Christopher broke down and confessed. At trial the State introduced Simmons confession and the videotaped reenactment of the crime, along with testimony that Simmons discussed the crime in advance and him bragging to fellow classmates about it later. The defense called no witnesses due to the evidence and confession. The jury having returned a verdict of murder, the trial proceeded to the penalty phase. The jury returned a guilty verdict.

    Jacob Ind Punishment

    Since Jacob Ind helped murder his parents, I am charging him with first degree murder. Although it was a serious crime, I believe he can be rehabilitated and reintegrated so I am charging him as a youth. His first sentence will be 7 years in jail so that he can spend time in that environment and hopefully realize that what he did was wrong and regret the decisions he has made in the past. After he has served his time in jail, he will be able to apply for probation for 2 years, and because he had a reason to kill his parents, I don't think he will be a huge threat to society. While on probation it will be mandatory for him to work with someone that will help him get through the struggles of the past abusing from his parents. Also he will have…

    Kristin’s Death

    This case is based on the death of Kristin whose author is her father. Michael Carter was Kristin’s ex-boyfriend, his past criminal record demonstrates how easy it is for criminals to get away with murder. I’m going to go over some of his past criminal record to demonstrate how Michael Cartier should have never been set free in the streets, and to demonstrate how many opportunities our justice system had to put him away in jail before he committed more crimes. I believe that the best way to present Michael’s criminal history is by covering some of the many encounters he had with our justice system prior to murdering Kristin as well as the consequences for his actions. The first arrest was 1998 for burglary, when arrested Michael was sentenced to six month in jail. However, he never served any time for this crime. Followed by a sledgehammer rampage in 1990. Another incident where our justice system failed to put Michael in jail was on March 28, 199I when another of Michael’s violent abuse victim called his probation officer. The probation officer “told Rose to get a restraining order” (Stillman, 2010). Rose Ryan sister mentioned to the probation officer that Michael had a gun in his possession, this led the probation officer to obtain a warrant for Michael Cartier’s arrest. This didn’t stop Michael from attacking rose with a pair of scissors. When Michael was finally picked up by…

    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.…
