    Brock Turner Case Summary

    In the case of Brock Turner and his execrable decision to rape an unconscious woman outside a fraternity house at Stanford University is most appalling and like any crime committed the consequence should be given in order that, that particular offender might have time to reflect on what they have done. In this particular case Turner has proven that the term rape is deemed so little in the eyes of the law. Instead of receiving a six year sentence he was simply given six months in an institution. Six years or six months no matter the sentence that young lady will be forever be scarred by what he has done to her physically, and emotionally. In her recent statement she said “My independence”, natural joy,gentleness,and steady lifestyle I had…

    Oj Simpson Case Study

    Orenthal James “O.J.” Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goodman in 1995. Twenty years on, his case still remains controversial, but why? Simpson was a star athlete until 1979, where he pursued his dream of becoming an actor (Harris, 2008). O.J.’s alleged murder of his former wife and her friend thrust him into the spotlight, catching the public’s attention, as well as every news station in the U.S. One factor that makes this case so notorious is that there were many flaws during the investigative process, and a lot of them lead to the outcome of Simpson’s freedom from his charges. Many of these investigative errors could have been overcome with rigorous surveillance of officers on the…

    After spending 18 years in prison for rape, Steven Avery was finally released on September 11th of 2003. Through these 18 years, did it transform Steven Avery into a cold blooded killer? After spending time in prison, Steven has built up many years of anger and pain for something he was wrongfully convicted of.

    On November 10th York had a Fighting Wrongful Convictions: Journalists Police the Justice System panel hosted by the Journalism Department. The main point of the panel was to talk about how a journalist should properly go about writing a story on wrongful convictions and to help illustrate the point they brought in Johnny Hincapie. Hincapie was an 18 year old who was wrongfully charged with helping in the murder of Brian Watkins in the 1990s. Now at 42 years old, and after serving 25 years in prison his case has been dismissed and he is being tried fairly all thanks to the hard work, and dedication of journalist and York professor Bill Hughes who published an article in City Limits Magazine in 2010 addressing Hincapie’s wrongful conviction.

    The Brock-Turner Court Case

    As you may know there are many people enraged about the decision that was made with the case of Brock Turner. Riots and other violent methods have been used to get certain points across; and I believe the best way to appropriately get points across with you is writing a letter. There have been accusations made claiming it was a case of male and class privilege. Was the six-month confinement in a county jail and three years of probation enough for the crime that Brock Turner committed? I understand that sanctions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but sexual assault is something to be taken very seriously no matter the outcome of the situation, in this situation hurting the athlete’s reputation…

    The Pros And Cons Of Community Notification Laws

    One aspect of sex offender’s notification tends to get overlooked; and that has ties with the 8th amendment, in regards to the constitutional right to abstain from cruel and unusual punishment. This poses serious ethical issues with notification laws, and the retaliation some sex offenders receive and their progress to adequately reintegrate back into communities. This notion expanded since Congress in 1996 passed, “Megan’s Law” which, “provides communities with information about sex offenders as a condition of receiving federal anticrime…

    February 26, 2012 marked the day that the innocent minor, Trayvon Martin, was shot to his death in a gated neighborhood in Sanford, Florida. The shooter, George Zimmerman, still has not faced any serious consequence for the murder. Many people in the Sanford community, and even around the country, believe that there is no question that Zimmerman should be convicted and sent to jail, but, unfortunately, it is not up to the people; it is up to the justice system. With the consideration of Florida’s state laws, this is a difficult case to foresee the outcome of George Zimmerman’s conviction and prosecution.…

    Persuasive Essay On Registered Sex Offenders

    “terrible person.” However, he’s or she could have just been 18 while their partner was 16 and then they were convicted. Males go through so much hate and judgment more than women if people found out they are a registered sex offender. People think their mindset is all about messing with kids, and how nasty they are. On the other hand women have a better chance of explaining themselves before the public gets to judging them. They get to explain into further details about the case, and why the verdict came to the decision, also and get to explain convince the people that it was a onetime thing and how it will never happen again. Everyone makes mistakes, but people believe that males are held to a higher standard and that they should know right from wrong, but women have the window to make as many…
