Why Is Mrs Hutchinson Falsely Accused
Your article has prompted ill feelings among many of the women within this community. We find it completely unfair, unjust, inhumane of the treatment delivered by the courts, the people, and the lies set forth against Mrs. Hutchinson. Women within this community did nothing to come before the courts and attempt to defend Mrs. Hutchinson. Regrettably, this is due to the fear of possibly suffering the same treatment and punishable acts as the courts impose on Mrs. Hutchinson. Today, we come together and write this anonymously in hope to bring clarity to the truth and free Mrs. Hutchinson’s name from the obscurity she has been accused and suffered. Seemingly, falsely accused--the truth of this matter is that during her gatherings the

    Carolyn Howard Case Summary

    During the trial, Carolyn Howard, magistrate of the case, was fair in terms of applying the law. What I perceived about her was that she was a very wise magistrate because she never lost control of the situation. On the contrary, she stayed calm and never said anything with disrespect to others. However, from a moral perspective, I think that the case was not fair with the male who was involved in it since he was not the biological father of the child. If I had the opportunity to change the statute, I would rewrite it in some way that the legal father will be able to disestablish paternity and left him away from any responsibility related to the child. Also, I morally believe that the mother is the one who should be responsible for her acts.…

    Judge Clarence Thomas Case Study

    In her open statement on the sexual harassment hearings, Anita Hill recounts the details of how Judge Clarence Thomas took advantage of working relationship between them and conducted inappropriate sexually offensive behaviors toward her. Although Hill does not feel comfortable to reveal her vulnerability, she keeps a very formal and constraining tone while she illustrates in details of the process in which Judge Thomas intentionally ignored her refusal on his innumerable invitations to social outings. Admitting to having poor judgement, Hill is still trying to portray a despicable and heinous character of Judge Clarence, and proves to the court that his illegitimate action deserves punishment.…

    Rae Carruth's Guilty: The Murder Of Cherica Adams

    In every case involving a minority defendant, it is a good policy to insure that no discrimination was involved at any point. The evidence is just too strong that, even in the 21st century discrimination is still present in our justice system. However, while it is obvious that must be an issue in some cases almost all the evidence in this case points to the defendants…

    Auto Workers V. Johnson Control Case Study

    In this case the court considered the defendant’s argument that discrimination on the basis of sex because of safety concerns is allowed in certain situations. To help illustrate this point the court examined Dothard v. Rawlinson, a case where a maximum-security male penitentiary was allowed to hire only male guards to be in contact with inmates because more was at stake then simply their own safety. This case, used by the defendant, was rejected by the court in that in this situation the well being of third parties were not involved. The court also considered that while there was a risk to the fetus, the extent of injury that is likely to occur was not addressed. Even without this information, the policy reaches to far in that there is no showing that it is necessary to ensure the safe and efficient operation of Johnson Controls. The court also considered that until 1982, Johnson Controls operated without this policy and has since failed to provide information to lead one to believe that it is reasonably necessary to its normal operations or that they suffered any adverse effects prior to its…

    Frontiero Vs Richardson Case Study

    In his opinion in the 1973 case Frontiero v. Richardson, Justice William Brennan stated,“Our nation had a long and unfortunate history of sex discrimination, rationalized by an attitude of “romantic paternalism” which, in practical effect, put women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.” The Justice felt discrimination against women in America has been passed off ignorantly as romantic or reasonable. In 1973, Sharron Frontiero, a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, was treated unequally when she was not provided the same benefits as a man would, for her husband and dependant, Joseph Frontiero. As a woman, she had to prove her husband’s dependence for one half of his support. Male lieutenants were not required to do so for their wives, but instead merely had to claim their dependence. Frontiero took her case to lower courts and originally lost. She later requested an appeal and, her case reached to the Supreme Court. The statute was suspected to be unconstitutional under a 4 justice opinion written by Justice William Brennan. The statute in…

Meyer’s commentary response to the Family Court System was her agreeing and providing verification along with statistics on why she agrees with their method. However, Meyer as a divorce coach only sees a partial part of this argument and does not view this in a divorced father’s perspective.…

    Life and Times of Louise Arbour

    There was an incredible report by Louise Arbour in the 1990 's that rocked the boats of so many. Through this period of her life, she was working as a judge for the Court of Appeal of Ontario. Arbour 's Inquiry into the Prison for Women at the Kingston Penitentiary in Kingston, Ontario was a large and controversial move. There was an event at the prison on April 22, 1994 involving six female prisoners. They suffered abuse at the hands of management, the guards, and male inmates. They underwent illegal segregation, strip searches, and the list sadly goes on. Louise held media attention for really the first major time in her career over this, and was up against a surprising amount of criticism. Even some of the inmates, those that she was helping in the first place, felt "Arbour was too lenient with officials who violated prisoners ' rights" (Driedger, 1996) SQ. Her report was extremely important in the changing of ways that female convicts are handled through the Correctional Service of Canada. Her demands were just and fair, and essentially led to the closure of the prison in 2008. Her report holds the Correctional Service of Canada to a much higher standard. Women have an equal voice on the inside now; they have rights.…

    Linda R. S. Vs. Richard D.

    Richard D," a child support dispute that was a problem in Texas. Linda and Richard had a child out of wedlock. Therefore Linda was unable to get the D.A to assist her because of the wording in the statute. “any parent who fails to support his children is subject to prosecution, but which by state judicial construction only applies to parents”(Wikipedia, web, 03/09/17). So because the child was "illegitimate," Linda was unable for relief. She filed to compel the D.A only to have to appeal this case all the way to to the supreme court. The Supreme Court ruled that “ the legal standing to keep the prosecutor's' office from discriminatory applying a statute criminalizing non-payment of child support. In dicta, the court articulated the then-prevailing view that a crime victim cannot compel a criminal prosecution because "a private citizen lacks a judicially cognizable interest in the prosecution or nonprosecution of another.” (Wikipedia, Web, 3/09/17). The marital status was irrelevant because Linda was a victim of the crime. The D.A had ruled in error. And the attention the case gave the issue had been brought into the light. No longer was the victim abused to ensure the D.A's success. The victim's rights movements had…

    Us V. Morrison

    On May 15, 2000, the United States Supreme Court held that a portion of the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was an unconstitutional exercise of congressional power. The holding of this case and the unconstitutionality eventually resulted in the “freedom” of Antonio J. Morrison, who evaded charges under the act that would provide a victim, Christy Brzonkala, of gender-motivated violence a cause of action against the perpetrator for the recovery of compensatory and punitive damages. This case was properly decided --- the statute off of which Antonio Morrison was getting sued was unconstitutional on two counts: the first, the Commerce Clause, and the second, Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, rejecting both as proper constitutional bases for the Violence Against Women Act. The Court considered separately the legislative findings regarding the economic effect of gender-based violence and the states’ failure to provide relief to victims. The falls under Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce, and the second is related to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The immorality of the majority decision proved too much for many Americans—but that is the law.…
