Wati Holmwood Case
Persistent Pitch Invader Almost Broke Down In Court

While holding back tears in court, Wati Holmwood said he was sorry for running onto the playing field and that will now land him in jail. Holmwood will spend 2 months in jail after a 70-meter sprint at a 2016 Olympic football game in Rio before over 83,000 fans and was witnessed by millions of people on television worldwide.
The court made a decision to reduce Holmwood's original 3-month sentence, however, he will still spend time in jail although his lawyer said to the Parramatta District Court that many communities "would not want to see a streaker go to jail".
Court documents revealed that Holmwood refused to give police his name after he was initially arrested for streaking. He was

    Hussey V. Peter Belmont: The Supreme Court Case

    Before making the final decision the court considered the following factors, length of delay, prejudiced to the accused, explanation for the delay, and Waiver of Appellants. The Supreme Court then concluded that the delay of 2 years after the appellant's preliminary trial was unreasonable. The Crown did not justify the institutional delay and did not prove that the delay prejudiced the delay of the accused. Therefore, their final decision was to set the four men free as the delay was excessive. I agree with the court's decision because the Crown did not justify the reason for the 2-year delay, which was a violation of the men's charter rights. The men were also held in custody for 6 months before being proven guilty. This to me was the right ruling of the case because no serious crime was committed when the incident occurred, and the two-year delay was not appropriate for this type of…

    R Vs Robert

    Roberts was “convicted by Keenen J., sitting without a jury, of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.” (R v. Roberts, p 5) The sentence was postponed, however, from 2001 to 2004, because of a pending application submitted by the Crown. The application was to submit Roberts to psychiatric testing to determine if he would be convicted as a dangerous offender under section 753 of the Criminal Code or a long-term offender under section 753.1 of the Criminal Code. The application was approved and the assessment of Roberts proceeded. The sentencing judge, LaForme J., found that Roberts never fit the criteria to be a dangerous or long-term offender as described in the Criminal Code and he found that Roberts would not be sentenced as such. Roberts was sentenced to “two years less a day plus three years probation on terms requiring submission to psychiatric treatment, medication treatment, drug and alcohol treatment, plus testing and other rehabilitative conditions.” (R v. Roberts, p…

    Gorman Case

    This case in particular is a clash between two cultures; the modern medicine culture of Linda Gorman and the traditional cure lu Mien culture of Mrs. Saeto. Before casting judgment on who is right and who is wrong with regards to Marie, it is important to decode these two particular cultures so we can distinguish the differences between the American culture and the lu Mien culture; considering upon reading about the burns, most if not all Americans would agree that this curing practice is barbaric and abusive. Every culture comes with stories, symbols and world views; and often times they are in disagreement. For instance, at the heart of the lu Mien culture is the theory of animism, “the view that the world is inhabited by spirits that reside in things, including people” (Hachen, n.d.) Not to mention the cure used on Marie is also considered a ceremony in lu Mien culture, thusly the objects used have symbolic value (Hachen, n.d.) With regards to Linda’s modern medicine culture; this practice comes with rituals in the form of examinations, symbols with regards to white walls and various sterile instruments used to conduct the examinations, and worldviews with regards to science and the scientific method. Upon differentiating the two cultures, we come to the conclusion that in the American culture the acts bestowed upon Marie are wrong and potential harmful, while the lu Mien culture considers them useful and effective. Therefore, we encroach upon the dilemma of cultural relativity, “the view that practices and behaviors can be judged only by the cultural standards of the culture in which those practices occur” (Hachen, n.d.). In a situation such as this, if we disregard cultural relativity it will certainly imply that there are universal standards by which the practices in all cultures can be evaluated. “The problem with this position is that often when people claim there are such universal standards, it turns out that those standards are just the standards of…
