Fromme planned to kill Ford so she could appeal to Charles Manson himself.Seventeen days after the first assassination attempt, Ford encountered another close call. A mentally unstable woman named Sarah Jane Moore tried to shoot President Ford while he was in San Francisco.

    Summary: The Case Of Lizzie Borden

    The case of Lizzie Borden, who allegedly took a hatchet to her step-mother and father, took place in 1892 and to this day has yet to be solved. To solve a case like this one there has to be a substantial amount of physical evidence that leads to the suspect. In the late 1800’s there were not many forensic tools available to police and investigators. Fingerprinting, lie detection, and hair testing were among many of these tools that were not available. This being said there were different tactics used by police, some of which were helpful and others which were not.…

    The Candyman - Dean Corll and the Houston Mass Murders

    Dean Coril was a 33-year-old electrician living in Houston, Texas, who with two teen accomplices was responsible for kidnapping, torturing, raping and murdering at least 27 young boys in Houston in the early 1970s. Dean Corll was an electrician for Houston Power and Light, but most of Henley's friends knew him as the Candy Man, so named because he had labored for years in the candy manufacturing plant that he and his mother had once owned. Corll was famous for giving away candy to the kids. Coril had an odd choice of friends, who were mostly young male teens. Two, who were particularly close to Coril, was a 14-year-old boy named Elmer Wayne Henley and a 15-year-old boy named David Brooks. The three spent much time hanging around at Coril's house or driving with him in his van. That was until August 8, 1973, when Henley shot and killed Coril at his home. While in police custody, Henley began to tell about his relationship with Coril. He said Coril paid him $200 or more for each boy that he could lure to Coril’s house. After searching Coril's house, the police discovered a bedroom that looked as if it was designed for torture and murder. There was a board with handcuffs…

    JFK LONE GUNMAN

    At 12:30pm, on the 22nd of November, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is shot once through the throat, before being mortally wounded by a second shot, this time to the head. At 12:35pm, the Presidents open limousine arrives at Parkland Memorial Hospital, approximately six kilometres from the site of the shooting (Dealey Plaza, Dallas Texas). At 1pm, President John F Kennedy is officially pronounced dead, and finally, at 1:20pm Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson is notified of JFK’s death. At 2:38pm, two hours and eight minutes after Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson is sworn in as the 36th president of the United States of America. Evidence gathered (and available to the public) concerning the assassination of President John F Kennedy overwhelmingly supports the theory of a lone gunman.…

    Week1 Busn 420

    The American legal system, a direct descendant of the English legal system, began to develop in 1066 and is always evolving. However, the main principles or the “backbone” of this legal system remains the same. The different sources of American law include the Constitution, state constitutions, statutes, common or “case” law, a body of administrative regulations, and court rules. The most important among these various sources of law, other than Constitutional provisions, is common law. The common law process allows judges to hear cases and make decisions, effectively becoming law, based upon these cases. These case decisions become the common law and others must adhere to this “judge-made” law. In the common law process, the judge’s decision or the “holding” of the case binds future courts and creates precedent.…

    Comparison Of Jeffrey Dahmer And Charles Manson

    All things considered, Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson with no conscience did not like themselves. Both are sociopath’s criminal. They did not often feel inadequate, nor feel secure about themselves in spite of their mistakes. One problem with Dahmer measuring self-esteem as his mother. It is possible he might feel terrific about himself on some days when he played around with animals and detest himself on another day after he made an embarrassing mistake or fail an exam in school. Manson had the great personality as a musician, and charisma but no place in American consciousness. He was a liar and learned to manipulate people even while in prison. Another problem is that how he feels about himself privately. In a different situation,…

    Abraham Lincoln's Assassination Research Paper

    Did you know that John Wilkes Booth’s original plan was to kidnap Abraham Lincoln? Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. Booth snuck into the presidential booth and shot Lincoln in the head with a pistol. Escaping Booth broke his leg, but worked through the pain. Booth was captured 12 days later. The morning of April 15, Abraham Lincoln died. The assassination of Lincoln shocked the country. He was the first president to be assassinated.

    Charles Manson Research Paper

    Charles Manson was born on November 12, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio. His mother, Kathleen Maddox, a 16 year old girl was an alcoholic and prostitute. She later married William Manson. The marriage did not last. So, therefore he ended up being placed in a boy school. Since his mother didn’t want anything to do with him, Manson was soon living on the streets and getting by through petty crimes. “By 1952, Manson was soon spending more time in prison. In total he spent more than half his life, 17 years, incarcerated. He was noted for being a `model prisoner’ (Bio).” A model prisoner means good conduct while incarcerated. Three years later a new chapter in his life began, he…

    Lee Harvey Oswald

    Since November 23, 1963, the day after President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated, there have been speculations as to the happenings of November 22, 1963. Along with the Warren Commission, there are hundreds of conspiracies and theories attempting to explain the assassination of Kennedy. Many people agree with the Warren Commission in that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman, while others maintain that another gunman was involved. Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Oswald did not act alone on November 22, 1963 in the assassination of Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).…

    The Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theories

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of our time. One article of his death wrote, "The day the country cried". Unlike previous presidential assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that is filled the conspiracy theories. Such theories include a Government cover-up, Mafia influence and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is too simple. In the eyes of scholars there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Even with the growing number of bogus theories, there are a number of logical theories that do hold water. In this paper I will discuss a couple of the conspiracy theories that are published for the public to read.…

    The Untimely Death of Theodore Roosevelt

    The Untimely Death of Theodore Roosevelt

    October 14, 1912 was when it happened. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin during his campaign speech, someone within the perimeter fired at the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. The scene underwent a thorough investigation the moment the crowd was out of reach, and investigators recovered a plethora of items that could possibly be linked to the death that followed not two days after this tragedy. The evidence included a large man’s jacket, which, while emptying the pockets, revealed also an elephant button, foreign coins, a picture of a catlike silhouette, a map of Chicago, a blank postcard from Lake Mohonk Mountain House, a picture of the ex-president taken in 1905, a receipt for a train ticket from Washington D.C., and most importantly, a note that read, “Thanks, my friends, I know we’re going to do it.” After many interrogations and hours spent trying to solve this murder mystery, the police investigators were led to believe it was not one person to blame for the loss, but four people. It was a conspiracy to kill an ex-president. The suspects in question are banker John Pierpont Morgan, President William Howard Taft, and anarchist Emma Goldman. These people are believed to be responsible because they all had different motives to want Roosevelt dead and out of the picture. Also their combined skills, connections, and recourses would only help them, if they worked together, to achieve this ultimate goal of ridding the nation of Theodore Roosevelt.…
