    May God Have Mercy (John C. Tucker): A True Story of Crime and Punishment

    Steve Arey and Terry Jordan were young, inexperienced lawyers who should have never even been considered for a capital case. Judge Persin, the presiding Judge in the case, however, decided on these two gentlemen because other more experienced lawyers refused to take the case because of the huge financial sacrifice it would require. Albeit public speculation that Judge Persin's previous profession as a prosecutor had led him to heavily favor the prosecution, his decision stood. The two prosecutors who Arey and Jordan would be opposed by were Mickey McGlothlin and Tom Scott. Both prosecutors had far more experience than the defense lawyers, but that didn't stop Judge Persin from appointing Arey and Jordan to the case. It was an obvious mismatch, intentional or not, and was just the beginning of many problems that would arise for the defendant's case.…

    Van Orden v. Perry

    Thomas Van Orden, an American Lawyer, challenged the State of Texas claiming that the placement of the Ten Commandment monument on state capital grounds was unconstitutional because it symbolized government endorsement of religion, violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment (Van Orden v. Perry Case Brief). The Supreme Court held the monument constitutional as it was merely a recognition of the Ten Commandment in American history and served no religious purposes (Van Orden v. Perry). The Supreme Court also noted that many other government buildings, including itself, have some form of the Commandments as the recognition of its important historical meaning as a source of law (Van Orden v. Perry).…

    Russell V Queen Case Study

    This case fell according to the JCPC under powers in favor of the federal government. The reasoning for this case is not convincing. The reason for this is that it does not ban alcohol for the entire country, but instead merely restricts and regulates it. The legislation for this case could have fallen under: section 92 (9), which deals with saloons, taverns, and shops; section 92 (13) which is about property and civil rights in the province; or section 92 (16) which are all matters of local or private nature. This law was about restricting how people were able to obtain alcohol, meaning how it is sold. Once it is sold it also becomes property within a province. Therefore the argument that the JCPC made that it…

    short term 9/11 effects

    The most significant temporary effect of 9/11 would certainly be the impact of the security as it affected Arabs and Muslims in the country, attempting to gain citizenship. Though the security measures found out thousands of illegal Arabs and Muslims, only 11 were related to terrorist associations. The other hundreds of thousands legally in the country with a visa were then required to register with the authorities through a program called the National Entry/Exit System (NEERS). However, this program aroused several complaints. For citizens such as Mohammed G. Azam, a 26 Bangladeshi native who came to the U.S. when he was 9 years old, even with the termination of the long-term and ineffective program, he is still affected (Dolnick). His case outlasted the program, and even though he should legally be a citizen under the authority’s rules, he is given much trouble. His father gained residency and technically his children, if of age, would be residents too, but because of the length of his case, he has grown out of childhood. He is one of thousands in this situation, spending a large portion of his money on hearings and trial work. He should not be given so much trouble for something he has the right to. This entire program was a sort of “knee-jerk” reaction (Dolnick). Understandably, the country took as many safety precautions and security increases as possible, including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (Lerner), the head of the NEERS program, but while some measures of security permanent in airports made sense, the NEERS program was only a hindrance, interrupting and corrupting lives of many well-meaning people, like Azam. Azam will not be attending his sister’s wedding, and also says, “One-third of my life has gone to this immigration process…I grew up her. This is my country”(Dolnick). The program has been terminated as of 2011, but that temporary measure, a reaction that should not have…

    In 1847, the St. Louis courthouse ruled against Scott but he was given the right to a second trial. In 1850, in the second trial, the jury decided that the Scotts should be freed. Mrs. Emerson did not want to lose the Scotts, so she appealed her case to the Missouri State Supreme Court. The Missouri State Supreme Court reversed the decision in 1852. In St. Louis Federal Court, Dred Scott sued Mrs. Emerson’s brother, John Sanford. The Court ruled in favor of Sanford. Dred Scott appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court (Dred Scott’s Fight).…
