Ned Kelly’s Life Truth
There is no doubt that Ned Kelly was repeatedly rejected and ignored, which made him the victim he has to be recognised as. Imagine being accused of crimes that you never did, paying fines for fights you never intended to be in, accused of stealing a horse and getting a longer jail time that the thief did and unfairly sentenced to death when you are only charged with one crime. Ned had been in trouble with the law since he was twelve after he was accused of stealing a horse. Ned fled to the bush and he started what people called “his life of crime” even though it was what he had been forced to start. Imagine if you were him?

Ned was fined seventy pounds because he was pulled into a fight that had nothing to do with him. He was accused of violent assault even though, he was innocently pulled into it. The police always incriminated Ned, and now that he had been seen in a fight, they didn’t even care to hear his side of the story and they just jumped to a conclusion. The troopers had already taken lots of money from the Kelly’s for crimes that they had been accused of before, and now they had to scrape together all their saving to pay for Ned but ten-pounds were left un-paid. Ned had been unable to pay the overpriced fine and was

He was repeatedly victimised as the trouble maker in his childhood and adult life only because people had no idea what others had done to him. From the unfair fight that Ned was charged in to the unforgettable trail and sentence Ned was given, all shows that Ned was innocent and should be remembered as a poor boy and should have never been unfairly punished the way he was. Some say he was a hero and others say a villain but none of them know the true story of how he was repetitively victimised and incriminated and who should be remembered the victim of the

    Standing accused of something never feels good, but being convicted of a crime that a person didn’t commit or feeling pain that they do not deserve feels even wrongfully worse. Throughout Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, characters’ lives are greatly affected in many ways by injustice. In the decision of his court case, Tom Robinson is accused and convicted of a crime he did not commit. Jem and Scout are attacked wrongfully by Bob Ewell, who tries to get back at Atticus. Rejected and hated by his “family”, Dill has lived a harsh life due to injustices in his life.…

    This is the gist of a familiar case to several people, commonly known as the “affluenza case.” The reason that the offender solely receives probation is the fact that he and his parents claim nobody educated the offender about drunk driving. He allegedly did not know any better. Disregarding the fact that that is the most outlandish proposition that one could make, ten years of probation just does not fit the crime committed. The punishment for killing four people while driving with an abnormal amount of alcohol in the bloodstream should not be taken so lightly as to reprimand the offender with probation and rehabilitation. The most frightening aspect is that this is only one of the several cases where the convicted person walks away with minor scratches.…

    Owens was furious at the fact that they made obscene amounts of money off of his races, yet he could not even afford to buy a souvenir from his trips and be able to eat ("How Jesse Owens..." 2). Jesse once again hung tight to his morals listed above and refused to settle with the AAU. This generated yet another Owens' reform, this time in the world of sports, which would eventually lead to athletes getting more money for their work. As Owens continued on with his life, he was forced to take on many degrading racing events in order to make a living, but went on record stating, "People say it was degrading for an olympic athlete to run against a horse, but what was i supposed to do? I had four gold medals but you can't eat four gold medals" ("Jesse Owens"…

    We, or the people, went crazy calling for their conviction and years later when we realized they were innocent, we just shrugged our shoulders. This is not okay in the slightest from our criminal justice system. Not only did the detectives try to convict the wrong people, they failed to stop the real criminal. Either they were blinded by becoming heros or they just did not care and wanted the fame no matter what the cost. Does not matter what the reason was, both are unacceptable answers from our justice…

    The case made the Ewell family look like fools and Bob wants revenge for this. He confronts Atticus, spits on him and spreads rumours about him all to prove his manliness and save his face (although I don’t think this is helping hime, but instead is making him look worse). Also, because of the was he was likely brought up, Bob Ewell probably doesn't quite understand right from wrong. He was not raised in good, fair conditions like many other people in town so he does not quite understand the you can’t treat people that badly. All that he does is just a defensive act in order for the truth to not come out.…
