Martha Stewart Case Summary
Kristina Stockton
Psy220
Intelligence versus Wisdom 1. The situation that I chose for this assignment was, Martha Stewart being arrested for lying about a stock sale. “Stewart, 63, was convicted in March of lying to investigators about why she sold ImClone stock in December 2001, just before the stock price plunged” (NBC News, 2004). Martha is a very intelligent, business woman, but she made a bad decision. 2. Emotional perception and expression- Martha Stewart did not express much upset when it came to her being sentenced with jail time.
Emotional facilitation of thought- when Martha Stewart decided to lie about her stocks and sold them when she got a hint that the market was going to go upside down, she wasn’t thinking about

    Carolyn Howard Case Summary

    During the trial, Carolyn Howard, magistrate of the case, was fair in terms of applying the law. What I perceived about her was that she was a very wise magistrate because she never lost control of the situation. On the contrary, she stayed calm and never said anything with disrespect to others. However, from a moral perspective, I think that the case was not fair with the male who was involved in it since he was not the biological father of the child. If I had the opportunity to change the statute, I would rewrite it in some way that the legal father will be able to disestablish paternity and left him away from any responsibility related to the child. Also, I morally believe that the mother is the one who should be responsible for her acts.…

In the first episode of Criminal Judge reviews the unsolved murder case of Kathleen Peterson, a 48 year-old woman, found dead in her home by her husband Michael Peterson back in 2001.Their neighbour, Larry Pollard, a lawyer following the case came up with a theory that puts at new meaning to man vs. beast. When Kathleen was found her husband called 911 saying she fell down the stairs. All odds were against Michael Peterson and he was indicted for the murder of his wife. They said Michael’s motive was that Kathleen found out he was having affairs with men and that his wife had a 1.5 million dollar life insurance policy for herself. Also, in the 80s Michael was tied to a murder and was the last person to see a woman alive before she was killed using blunt-force trauma, just like his wife. After a five month trial Michael Peterson was convicted of his wife's murder. Their neighbour Larry Pollard had an alternate theory to Kathleen’s death. Pollard’s theory was that when Kathleen went back outside for some reason maybe to take out the trash, she was attacked by an owl, then rushing back inside after feeling her head and taking out a clump of hair she ran to the stairs,…
