I think that he will remain in prison, and serve the full sentence. It is what he deserves, and I don’t think he will come out alive. The Hawaii jury indicted him, and no one wants a…
The O. J. Simpson robbery case (officially called the State of Nevada v. Orenthal James Simpson, et al.) was a criminal case prosecuted in 2007-2008 in the U.S. state of Nevada, primarily involving the retired American football player O. J. Simpson.…
Every key player in the system should be held accountable for their decisions in regards to the accused. For example, judges should not be exempt from consequences when their rulings are inappropriate and result in social upheaval. A system of standards should be in place and after a certain number of infractions, they should be reprimanded or fired depending on the severity of the infraction. In order to avoid poor decision making due to lack of background inquiry, more interns from law schools should be employed to assist in researching the accused. Judges could then make better-informed…
I think O.J.Simpson is guilty. I think he was lucky and everyone knew him for football but people that are known should not be treated any differently or in anyway that can benefit them. I think he was lucky to have the defense team that he had who tried to prove he was innocent when everyone knew what hew did I think that everyone knew it was him because during the videos he acted emotionless.…
Scott Lee Peterson was born October 24, 1972 in San Diego, California to Jacqueline Helen Latham and Lee Arthur Peterson. His family was big and athletic and he was raised on strict guidelines set by his father. As a kid, Scott loved to hunt and fish and played golf in high school. He attended the University of San Diego High School and graduated from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo (A.K.A. Cal Poly) with a B.A. in agricultural business in 1997. While attending Cal Poly, he worked as a waiter in a café, when he met his future wife, Laci Denise Rocha. Those who knew him described Scott as gentle and generous and very reserved when it came to expressing emotion. His father always told him to keep his feelings in check but every once in a while something would push him over the edge and he would snap. Scott Peterson would soon be under fire for the disappearance and murder of his wife Laci and unborn son Conner.…
I have a huge issue with the sentencing of Brock Turner, a former student of Stanford University. Turner was charged and convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault. He sexually assaulted a 22 year-old-woman who was unconscious and intoxicated behind a dumpster on the college campus. At the end, the judge sentenced turner to six months in a county jail and three years of probation. He also must register as a sex offender, and participate in a sex-offender treatment program. Turner is scheduled to be released tomorrow from a county jail – three months early for good behavior.…
But that's not what happened to Nixon he got a glorified “I forgive you” without any further investigation or punishment and that's not what should have happened and not fair to anyone else who has been convicted of a…
Simpson was an African American male who was acquitted. That doesn’t happen too often. The…
This should never have gone to a grand jury, as with Zimmerman, the screaming for justice (ie trial and sentencing) was due to mob rule and not to adherence to the legal system.…
For starters, the only real punishments that Lewis had received for the murders were probation and a fine given by the NFL. The only way that the legal system attempted to respond to his crimes was the give him a whole twelve months…
This prestige student was convicted of raping an unconscious girl behind a dumpster and with several pleadings from the mother and father they had convinced the judge along with the courthouse to let Brock walk free after only serving three months out of the six months given. Although there is no universal sentence for the crime of rape, the average time a convict is sent to prison for the crime of rape is around nine years and even so, most of the inmates get out after an average of five to six years. This is no-where near as much time as what the Student Brock did for his crime. This was most likely the result of the judge and the court agreeing on how being in jail for a white middle-class college student would set a bad reputation not only for the student, but also the impression in addition with the stereotypes of the social class therefore they let him free after such a short amount of time. This is an effect of the own-race bias, helping and noticing more on a psychological level the same race. This form of corruption must end, one solution to this is to have a certified punishment for a specific crime since there is no ‘universal sentence’ for a crime, at least but a minimum barrier. For example, if the crime committed was rape, the defense system could have a law where the minimum rule is five years and depending…
On top of that he still broke into people's houses and stole things that wasn't his. He's a very bad liar and extremely rude. Although he wasn't guilty he's still a bad person and always a…
It is also, for his or her family and friends. The ones that love him the most are suffering from this. Tom Robinson was convicted of raping Mayella Ewell when in reality everyone knows it was Mr. Ewell (her father). Tom went to prison. “They fired a few shots in the air, then to kill. They got him just as he went over the fence. They said if he’d had two good arms he’d have made it, he was mobbing that fast. Seventeen bullet holes in him (Lee 235)”. Tom was a clean and very kind, non-harming man he did not hurt or rape anyone. For example, Tom’s case is just like many other people’s cases these days. People are convicted all the time for stuff that they did not do. It is not fair for them or their families. It ruins there reputation for everything. It makes there life miserable and the person who really did it is still out there doing whatever they did to more people. It is not fair for…
Star athletes have a role in our society that many never asked for or hoped to obtain. They are seen as heroes in the eyes of many and in hopes to shed this image they do crimes most perceive unthinkable. They are the highlight of the American society and can do absolutely no wrong. Despite the offense and level of intensity of the crime the athlete will not be punished based on his crime; ironically, he will gain the lack of punishment from his star status. Whether professional athletes like it or not they are role models and should act as such.…
A wealthy man rarely has face the consequences of his wrongdoings because he can pay someone off. For example, the OJ Simpson case. He was a famous American football player who was believed to be in the involved in the murdering of his wife and another man whom she was with. Simpson had enough money to buy the best lawyer for his case and was able to walk free despite all the obvious evidence that pointed to him being…
