Caylee had gone missing and it had been a few days before it was even reported to the police. When it was reported, Casey wasn’t even the on delivering the news. It was her mother, Caylee’s grandmother. This raised suspicion as to why Casey would not report her own daughter missing to try and find her as quickly as possible. Throughout the case, Casey made up countless lies which she eventually got caught in. Some examples of these lies are, she said Caylee had been kidnapped by their nanny whose name was “Zanny”. In the end they came to find

    Further examination of the browser activity revealed the user had visited the social media website called Myspace which only Casey Anthony used. Reports state that the sheriff’s department found 17 vague searches from the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser but they had not investigated any searches in the Mozilla Firefox web browser which was the web browser that Casey Anthony preferred using.

    Casey Anthony Murder Case

    Although I do believe that Casey Anthony was involved in the murder of her child, I'm not sure if she actually killed her daughter. One of the main reasons for this belief, is that Anthony’s statements are riddled with lies and discrepancies. For instance on June 9, 2008 Casey claims that her daughter, Caylee, has gone missing. Later on she states that she dropped Caylee off with the babysitter, that didn't exist.…

    One article that I found illudes to the idea that dysfunctional family issues in Casey’s family could be a reason to explain some of her actions throughout the investigation and trial (McBride, 2011). The article also illudes to the idea that if Cindy was narcisstic and there was incest in the family, these dynamics could explain a…

    The Casey Anthony Case

    The Casey Anthony case also played a major role in the media because members on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter, reacted to every moment of the televised testimony of Casey Anthony in real time, driving even more coverage on national morning news and local news. Every news channel in the world covered the verdict of the Casey Anthony case when she was found not guilty for murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, with chloroform and duct tape. Twitter users were angry about Casey Anthony being found not guilty. The Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson case social reactions were the same because they both had major media coverage and both caused anger to the public because both Anthony and Simpson were found not guilty even though the people of the public believed that both of them were guilty. The difference between the two cases as far as social construction is that the O.J. Simpson case did not have as much social media as the Casey Anthony case because the social media platform was not in place at the time of the O.J Simpson…

    STUDENT NOTES AND COMMENTS ON THE CASE: I stand by the Court’s decision to uphold Roe v. Wade because I believe that whether a woman chooses to abort her fetus or not should ultimately be left up to her. The State should not have the authority to forbid abortions up until the fetus is able to live outside of the womb, at which point I believe that it is not moral nor should it be legal to abort the fetus. I agree with the decision made in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey to uphold the requirements for informed consent and a 24-hour waiting period. In regard to the reporting requirements, I believe that it is important to keep such records for medical, scientific and statistical reasons. Without such records, medical research on abortions…

    Introduction The case of Terri Schiavo brought attention to the debate over the right-to-die. On both sides of the debate, people from around the world, including the Vatican, weighed in with their opinion and viewpoints. There was no correct answer and no easy answer about if Terri Schiavo should live, with the requirements of extensive long-term care, or if she should die, presuming her informal conversation she had with Michael Schiavo about life-saving and prolonging were enough to make the decision final. This research paper will review how Terri Schiavo, Michael Schiavo, the Schindlers, the international attention and the State of Florida statutes played a role in a landmark decision involving Terri Schiavo’s end-of-life decision.…

    I decided to do option #2 major case observation and analysis. The online case I decided to do my research on was the Jodi Arias case. I believe the reason I picked this case over the others was this case was very interesting to me. Sure the O.J. Simpson case was a big one, but we all know he got away with murder. The George Zimmerman’s case didn’t last that long, and I felt that I would just find the same information in my research.…

    Roe v. Wade was not the first point in history abortion was discussed. Prior to the court case, many states, and eventually the Supreme Court, ruled on the constitutionality of state laws which preluded Roe v. Wade. In 1879, a Connecticut law was enacted stating that any one person who attempted through medical means to prevent conception of a child should “be fined not less than forty dollars or imprisoned no less than sixty days” (“Griswold v. Connecticut…”). This meant that any form of contraceptive (i.e. birth control, condoms, and abortion) was illegal in the eyes of the Connecticut state court. In 1939, the Waterbury Maternal Health Center in Waterbury, Connecticut was raided by police for their practice which helped “married women who could not afford private…

    Throughout the book, Just Mercy, the encounters Bryan Stevenson had with inmates was eye-opening to me. When one looks at the criminal justice system as a whole, every person convicted of their crime is looked upon as rightfully guilty. After reading, Just Mercy, that is clearly not the case. There are many people put into jail or even death row for crimes they did not even commit. The case with Walter McMillian is a perfect example of this.…
