The Execution Clifford Boggess: Movie Analysis
This previous week we watched a film in class called The Execution of Clifford Boggess. In the beginning I believe Clifford Boggess to be a regular individual. Actually Clifford Bogess graduated with honors, was also a talented piano player who played at weddings, and he also went to church faithfully. He was a normal individual that you wouldn’t even expect to commit crimes like these. On June 18th, 1988 a man by the name of Clifford Holt Boggess was born. Clifford Boggess was a lower class Caucasian male. When Boggess committed his first murder he was only twenty one years old. Boggess had been saving money for college until the car that he was driving needed to be replaced. Boggess was an unemployed individual and needed fast cash.
Clifford Boggess was rescued from a Georgia Orphanage when he was younger. Clifford was also the youngest of ten children. I feel the mitigating factor in this crime could be that fact of when Clifford Boggess mother was pregnant with him she was still using drugs. She was a frequent alcohol drinker and also abusive drug user. I’m wondering if that could have been a leading cause in the behavior of Clifford Boggess. Clifford Boggess was given up for adoption at a very young age. That could have also been a leading factor to the reasons of this Clifford Boggess crime. While watching the film of Clifford Boggess I found that criminals can really look like as regular people.
The crimes which Clifford Holt Boggess was sentenced to death for were double-geronticide. A double geronticide is the killing of two elderly people which Boggess committed. These murders can also be associated with the terms double eldercide or double senilicide. The murder of these two men plus the robbery makes this crime considerably a felony murder. Boggess had planned his whole crime out. Boggess had thought about the incident beforehand and even asked for suggestions on whom, he should rob this makes the crimes which he committed to be planed and
