Farmer argues that theory that both of these men committed the same crime could not co-exist under the Due Process Clause. The Due Process Clause of the United States, states “no man should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” Farmer did not allege that the prosecutor/court manipulated or fabricated any evidence or acted on bad faith. In, Virginia law, both Williams and Farmer are equally guilty of the crime. Found in the case of Pondexter v. Quarterman, 537 F.3d 511, 527 (5th Cir. 2008), it is not a violation to have inconsistent theories in separate trials of co-defendants.…

Thus in the Slaughter house cases (1873) 16 Wallace 36 and III J Hunn v. Illinois the court was prepared only to accept the procedural interpretations of Due Process and was not prepared to "Constitute the Court as a perpetual censor upon all legislation of the States, on the civil rights of their own citizens, with authority to nullify such as it did not approve as consistent with those rights".

The film Murder on a Sunday Morning was a murder case in Jacksonville involving a 15 year old teenager being accused of 1st Degree murder and theft.

In the end, McGuiness was able to prove to the jury that Brenton was not guilty and that the real murderer was still on the loose.…

Today, there are only three different countries一Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran, who sentence the death penalty to people that have yet to turn eighteen. Before the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Roper v. Simmons, the United States used to be on that list. After the Supreme Court’s decision, anyone who was on death row for crimes that they had committed prior to turning eighteen were put off death row. Instead, they were sentenced to life without parole. No Choirboy written by Susan Kuklin, looks into five different stories of people who were affected by the death penalty in the United States prior to the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision.…
