Justin was getting real tired of Billy’s “tax”. When Billy was found dead, it was murder by Justin. First of all, Justin killed Billy by knowing there was something wrong with Billy’s eye sight. Justin figured out it Billy had bad eyesight when he said, “he wasn’t surprised that Buchanan won a second term.” Buchanan never had a second term.

    Facts: The accused was driving his car without the required laminated taillights when officers pulled him over late October 2004. The police asked Shankar for his licence, registration, and insurance. The accused handed over a licence in the name of Jason Singh, the insurance information handwritten on an informal yellow sticky note, and a photocopy of the vehicle registration. When inquired about the spelling of name, Shankar misspelled Singh as ‘Sing’ and gave the wrong unit number for the home address.

    On February 25, 2000 Adnan Syed’s world came crumbling down around him. Adnan was convicted to life plus thirty years for the murder of his high school ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. Although Adnan was convicted, he is not guilty. The prosecution's case was shaky and was built around one witnesses constantly changing testimony. The witness was Jay Wilds, the neighbourhood drug dealer and a former schoolmate of Adnan’s. As well as the prosecution's main witness being unreliable, the cell phone tower data that they used to convict Adnan says on the cover sheet that the cell phone data from incoming calls can't be used to reliably and precisely locate a cell phone. Lastly, the autopsy report of Hae Min Lee showed fixed frontal lividity, the phenomenon…

    Written by Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, tells a story of an upcoming lawyer who wanted to help falsely accused individuals get off death row. Stevenson actually wrote this book about himself. As an African American lawyer who graduated from Harvard Law School and decided to move to Montgomery, Alabama in hopes of opening his very own law firm. However, this was not going to be your stereotypical firm. Stevenson purposely made his law office a non-profit to help inmates who were falsely accused of committing a crime that ultimately sentenced them the death penalty. The concept of having a non-profit law firm was very interesting to me because whenever you hire an attorney it is known that you will need to pay…

    The case review that I researched was about a little boy named Daniel Pelka aged 4. He was starved, force-fed salt, held under the water in a bath until unconscious and regularly beaten. Daniel was kept imprisoned in a small room and died alone from a blow to the head in March 2012. Once he started school he was a happy little boy but as the months went by he became thinner and thinner every day, his parents gave him half a sandwich to go to school with and told the teachers that he had a rare eating disorder and not to feed him. Daniel tried eating food from the bins and off the dirty floors, when Daniel died he weighed a little over 1 and a half stone. He slept on a thin mattress on the floor with no furniture or toys in his room and the carpet was heavily urine stained.…
