    In the case Montgomery v. Louisiana Henry Montgomery was charged with the murder of Charles Hunt. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. However he was only 17. Henry Montgomery should be sentenced to life in prison without parole because he committed murder. He was willing to kill an innocent man. 58% of states have come to the conclusion that the risk of releasing the murder under the age of 18 has the risk of future victims. Meaning if we let this criminal out he could strike again. The sentences should be based on age. Miller v. Alabama was about a 14 year old and Monomer v. Alabama was about a 17 year old. You can not compare these two ages. 17 is near…

    Best V. New Jersey Case

    School administrators and law enforcement officers have different regulations when a search or seizure is being conducted, especially concerning that of a minor. School administrators only need reasonable suspicion to search a student while law enforcement officers must have probable cause. In the cases of Best V. New Jersey and Safford V. Redding, the issues of search and seizure of a student in school are laid out in different scenarios that clearly portray the difference between a constitutional search and an unconstitutional search. The concept of reasonable suspicion is sufficient for the extended search in the Best V. New Jersey case because the student was in clear violation of school policy and the search was necessary to maintain safety and order in the school;…

    “Bong Hits for Jesus”

    In my ruling, the illegal glorification of the drug culture “Bong hits for Jesus”. I feel the school had made a bad judgment call about having the banner. I feel it is not an attack on the saying “Bong hits for Jesus”. I feel that this is an attack on the student’s first amendment rights, just because the sign had something to do with marijuana. The school has an anti- drug program. I believe a non- disruptive pin, shirt, banner, etc. should not be taking from a student, for the shear fact that they oppose the anti-drug programs that the school offers. It is an attack on their first amendments rights. It was a 15-foot joke. The school dose has the right to not tolerate an interruption of a school sponsored anti-drug event. But this was not this kind of an event and the banner was not placed on school grounds. The banner was placed across the street from the school in a public open forum. One cannot be punished for holding of a banner not on school property. I feel that the principal was wrong to hastily take the banner down in the heat of the moment, but feel she should not pay punitive damages, for the banner was not worth much. Though the pride of the student’s who put the banner up was hurt a little I feel they should not be punished for expressing their first amendment rights, which they demonstrated non-violently, very conformed manner, and not on school property.…

    Respondent public high school student (hereafter respondent) delivered a speech nominating a fellow student for a student elective office at a voluntary assembly that was held during school hours as part of a school-sponsored educational program in self-government, and that was attended by approximately 600 students, many of whom were 14-year-olds. During the entire speech, respondent referred to his candidate in terms of an elaborate, graphic, and explicit sexual metaphor. Some of the students at the assembly hooted and yelled during the speech, some mimicked the sexual activities alluded to in the speech, and others appeared to be bewildered and embarrassed. Prior to delivering the speech, respondent discussed it with several teachers, two of whom advised him that it was inappropriate and should not be given. The morning after the assembly, the Assistant Principal called respondent into her office and notified him that the school considered his speech to have been a violation of the school's "disruptive-conduct rule," which prohibited conduct that substantially interfered with the educational process, including the use of obscene, profane language or gestures.…
