Careless Court Cases

Decent Essays
Vause reported to CNN that former chairwoman of China's Sanlu dairy, Tian Wenhua was sentenced life in prison and three other Salu Group executives received death sentences for the killing of six infants and sickened nearly 300,000 others (Vause, 2009). Careless acts play a huge part in the crisis. If the supplier was handled at the beginning of the discovery, things could have been handled differently. Failing to do so resulted in imprisonment and death sentences. It was also mentioned that twenty-one suspects had gone to trial late last month, while nine have yet to be sentenced (Vause, 2009). Little lives were lost and in return, lives are gone down the drain and suffering in failing to do the right thing.

    2) Justice Shaw concluded two different rulings in his 1836 and 1851 cases regarding two similar “fugitive slave” scenarios. In the Commonwealth v. Aves case, Justice Shaw ruled that the “fugitive slave” was to remain in Massachusetts and therefore, become a freed slave. Justice Shaw ruled the opposite in 1851 and ordered Thomas Sims be returned to Georgia after he had escaped. Justice Shaw cited two different laws in his opposite decisions. In the case of Commonwealth v. Aves (1836), Justice Shaw cited the lack of the law of comity as justification for keeping Med, the fugitive slave, in Massachusetts and therefor not returning her to her slave masters in the south.…

    Wrongful Conviction On the morning of August 10, 1984, Deborah Sykes was brutally stabbed, sexually assaulted, and eventually killed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The man convicted for her murder was Darryl Hunt, a 19 year old boy that would go on to spend 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Hunt was convicted based on eye-witness testimony and informants, but was later exonerated based on DNA evidence that matched a man that was caught just a few months after the murder took place. This case is an exemplar of the strength of DNA evidence and the fragility of eyewitness testimony.…

    In the history of the United States, from the time period of 1857 until 1896, the Supreme Court, a national branch of government designed to interpret the Constitution to decide what is and what isn't constitutional, denied civil rights to Blacks to a great extent. With this denial of civil liberties, life for Blacks became filled with injustice in society, unequal treatment, and poor living conditions. Throughout our history, Blacks have been treated unjustly, and from 1857-1896, the Supreme Court had the power to correct these errors; however, they instead contributed to them. A tremendous amount of cases of indicating civil injustice towards Blacks had been brought up before the Supreme Court. However, two significant cases that made a tremendous…

    China: Human Rights and Status of Oppressed Groups Premise: The evidence will support that the world-wide movement to protect the rights of oppressed groups has not reached nor affected China; indeed, there is strong resistance to correcting human rights abuses. In the summer of 1989, Chinese students protested in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, facing off against government troops and tanks. From this event came an iconic image, of a man holding his shopping bags, facing off against a line of dozens of tanks and barring the way to the square and the protestors (Phelan). A lone man stood fearlessly in front of a tank, determined to stop their progress, and for a moment, the tanks stood still.…

    In an ethical manner, it is not morally right to endanger another person 's life in order to make a profit, as it creates more harms than benefits. Companies are dumping dangerous and hazardous products on overseas markets and it should be in the company’s best interest to consider the health and safety of the people and animals. Therefore, the companies acted immorally by dumping harmful products. 
 In essence, dumping refers to the procedure of exporting products that have been banned dangerous in the US, to other countries, mainly third world countries.

    Often, statements from people with incentives to testify — particularly incentives that are not disclosed to the jury — are the central evidence in convicting an innocent person.

That group of wrongfully convicted spent more than 10,000 total years in prison, according to the report, with an average of 11 years…
