    Clarence Earl Gideon was a man that was wrongfully convicted of a crime. Clarence had a bad background prior to the trial. His record prior was that he had felonies, and he was in jail for four times already, and he ran away from home, and was found with some stolen clothes on. His background didn’t make it easy for him to be found guilty. Gideon was accused of stealing wine, beer, money, and Coca Cola from the pool room.

    Manslaughter is a crime that is unjustified, inexcusable, and the intentional killing of a human being, whether it be involuntary or voluntary. This is the criminal charge that Adrian Crump from Jacksonville, Florida had to face. He shot a 15-year-old boy, around 2 in the morning, who was driving around shooting rocks from a slingshot. Adrian heard a noise in his home and thought it was a gunshot. He got up and checked it out, then went back inside and grabbed his gun as well as getting dressed. He then got in his car and pulled up behind the offender’s car, and shot the boy because he put his hands down, and he said he thought the kid was reaching for a gun. During the trial the prosecutor and defense team brought up the two sides of the story. We were asked how we felt about the trial and how we would find him. I took into consideration Adrian’s motivation or intention, self-defense, the witness’ statements, and crimes going on around the city.…

    Those many protests of the 1950s led to a larger civil rights movement a decade later. The Brown case was brought about by Oliver Brown, who argued that his daughter was forced to walk across a dangerous railroad each day rather than going to school close by, which was restricted to whites only. This was the time to attack the unfair doctrine of “separate but equal.” Segregation was said to be “inherently unequal since it stigmatized” one group of people as incapable to associate with the other group (Foner, Edition 4, Page 962). Black children received life-long damage because their self-esteem was undermined by segregation. After going back and forth arguing about this case, a decision was made that “separate but equal” no longer has a place…

    The 1995 criminal trial of O. J. Simpson for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman has been called "a great trash novel come to life,".No one can deny the pull it had on the American public and the fans of the great O.J. Simpson. During the early reports of the murder of the wife of the ex-football star, and the cunning , head turning sports announcer had not caught people's full attention, Simpson's surreal Bronco ride on the day of his arrest most definitly did. Police accumulated enough evidence against Simpson to indicate that he was guilt of the murders and they sought and obtained a warrant for his arrest. But there was an agreement worked out with Simpson's attorney, Robert Shapiro that Simpson was to turn himself in…

    Oj Simpson Trial Analysis

    • 252 Words

    This was a rather catchy song. While I’m not typically a country music fan, this song got stuck in my hard for far longer than I care to admit. The chorus of the song sees Chris Knight repeating that he was framed for the murder of his wife’s presumed lover. I might even have believed that he was framed, except for the section where he states that the “man took his wife, he was hell bound. Even if he did shoot him down, I was framed.” He attempted to justify his actions by blaming the shooting victim and saying that he wasn’t the only one to blame for the situation that occurred. This song is a rough parallel to the OJ Simpson trial. OJ Simpson was accused of killing his wife, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. Prosecutors unsuccessfully…

Today these functions are carried out by the police, the courts, and corrections.

    The Thomas Robinson Trial

    The most controversial issue in this story is probably the Thomas Robinson trial. The entire town of Maycomb was involved in this trial, and each took sides. I am certain that Thomas was innocent because all of the evidence pointed back to the “victim” and her father. I am 100% certain that Thomas is innocent because the bruises on the victim, 19-year-old Mayella Ewell, could only have been caused by a left-handed person. Thomas, however, lost all mobility in his whole left arm after a cotton gin accident as a child resulted in his entire left arm to be crippled.…

    Early Modern European considered sodomy an affront to society that it was a capital offence. Although this was a rather harsh punishment, most cases of sodomy never made it into trial. Those that end in a trial include an additional element that brought it to the State’s attention. The case of Earl Mervin Touchet, on April 25, 1631, involved a nobleman who faced a trial for rape and sodomy. His peers presided over the case and sentenced him to hang. In a different case, Thomas Rivers’ trial occurred on December 11, 1667, in which his apprentice accused him of sodomy, causing his near execution. The king ultimately pardons Rivers. Captain Edward Rigby was charged with sodomy for soliciting sex toward William Minton on December 7, 1698. His punishments…

    The Jenner Trial "The smallpox was always present, filling the churchyards with corpses, tormenting with constant fears all whom it had stricken, leaving on those whose lives it spared the hideous traces of its power, turning the babe into a changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of the bighearted maiden objects of horror to the lover" (Macaulay). Imagine walking down the busiest street in 1700s London, and you only saw a dozen people. In every window, bodies swelling with bumps were everywhere. Dead, ravaged bodies were tossed aside. No one could escape smallpox’s destruction.…
