In case one, State of California vs Turner, Brock Turner, 20-year-old Caucasian male and was a resident in California was charged with rape of three out of five counts in 2015, penal code PC261 (a)(3), PC261 (a)(4), PC220 (a)(1), PC289 (e), PC289 (d) (Official California Legislative Information , 1993). Turner was found guilty in March of three felony charges: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated/unconscious person PC220 (a)(1), penetration of an intoxicated person PC289 (e), and penetration of an unconscious person penal codes PC289 (d) (Court Motions/Orders Instructions/Minutes Chronolocial Order, 2015). None of the codes that he was charged did not include the intent “rape,” which may have led to the lower sentence then the max. So, Turner was sentenced with 6 months in jail instead of the max. The district attorney felt the punishment does not fit the crime (Fantz, 2016).…
Candidate Hills provided a thorough five paragraph order. Candidate Hills briefed with confidence, placing great emphasis on mission accomplishment, and briefing tasking statements with good detail and purpose, ensuring each member understood their purpose. However, Candidate Hills somehow became disoriented during the execution of movement to contact; he began walking in a 45 degree angle from his direction of attack and had to be guided back onto the correct azimuth by his fire team on at least two occasions before taking a casualty in the scenario. Candidate Hills' emphasis on mission accomplishment, and detailed tasking statements, played out well as he became the casualty requiring his fire team to quickly adapt to the newly developed…

Candidate Bills delivered a very thorough and in depth five paragraph order.

This visibly flustered SNC. SNC lacked a sense of urgency by taking up a substantial amount of time to deliver the order.

Candidate Rudd stumbled through his entire brief and quickly lost composure while briefing in a quiet and nervous tone of voice. SNC did not brief all of the Orientation paragraph, made up or stole details from previous scenarios that could potentially drive the mission, and his Execution paragraph lacked relevant, actionable information and tasking statements. Once his fire team received contact, SNC froze and completely ignored the need for an ADDRAC, haphazardly trying to buddy rush in an unspecified direction. Upon receiving contact, SNC was unable to process the fact that one of his team members was a casualty, and he remained unable to make a decision while receiving light small arms fire. SNC bounced back and forth between closing with…

Fortunate individuals continue to fail to realize there is still inequality. They usually rise well above the poverty line, and live relatively economically sound lives. This is true for Brock Turner, a white male former swimmer and student at Stanford University.…

Candidate Holcomb briefed all of the required components of his five paragraph order. SNC also addressed security during the execution of his mission.

SNC stated all of the paragraphs of OSMEAC. However, SNC stumbled and stuttered through it and maintained little or no eye contact during the brief . SNC’s decision to maintain a position at the start of the obstacle with his security and maintaining oversite by viewing the forward element through the tunnel limited his ability to make informed decisions.

Resulting in the fire team becoming confused and began moving forward without him .…

SNC was able to maintain great control of his fire team through decisive decision making during the execution.…
three police officers and the city of Fort Worth for violating his First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights in what came to be known as Turner v. Driver. Filed under the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the court document explained that in 2015, Turner was “video recording a Fort Worth police station from a public sidewalk across the street when Defendant-Appellees Officers Grinalds and Dyess approached him and asked him for identification” (Turner v.
