Comparing The Blank And Harris: Guilty Of Manslaughter

Decent Essays
I state that Blank and Harris are guilty of manslaughter. They are guilty because the doors were always locked and it was the law that they aren't supposed to be locked. There wasn't a lot of fire safety that they are supported be. The only fire safety didn't work. The hose was stuck, the fire escape wasn't sturdy enough and fell, and the elevator was to small. lots of young girls died and lost there loved ones. they should have made sure everyone was following the rules and not have left it up to the supervisor. Well i hope you understand me and make Blank and Harris guilty of

    The article “147 Dead, Nobody Guilty” published by The Literary Digest magazine explores the tragic accident which happened in the factory of the Triangle Waist Company in 1911. The Asch building appeared to be on fire, while the workers were trapped inside. As a result of the accident, 147 persons, mostly women and girls, were killed by a fire. The owners of the Triangle Waist Company, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, who went on trial for manslaughter were not found guilty of the tragedy. Considering the fact that this accident was not the only case of murder in the industry, the press opposed the injustice of the jury’s verdict (“147 Dead, Nobody Guilty”).…

    Is Willingham Guilty?

    • 346 Words

    Personally, I do not think that they did enough investigations towards the case. Therefore, it would be hard to judge whether Cameron Todd Willingham is guilty or not guilty of intentionally setting the fire that killed his daughters. The fact that former Governor Perry did not allow the case to be extended for 30 more days in order for Willingham’s attorney to find more evidence for the case seems outrageous. If a man has been seating in jail for that many years, what is that to give that person 30 more days. One would never know what that 30 days will entailed and there might be a possible chance to free this person.…

    Being charged with manslaughter is appropriate label for Brent’s actions. Sentenced to probation in suitable for Brent as well, because a fine or other punishment related to money may not have had much of an impact. Based on the evidence provided, the conclusion should be drawn that Even though Brent was mostly responsible for his actions before and during the accident, the blame must not be completely placed on him. Other sources of influence, such as Brent’s parents, Chaz, and Chaz’s parents, must be investigated further, but Brent being sentenced to probation is an appropriate punishment as a result of the…

Garner, that the court held that a police officer may not use deadly force to apprised a fleeing felon who does not pose a “significant threat of death or series physical injury to the officer or others.

    While McDonnel Douglas should have been more rigorous in their standards for previously untested locking system, if tests were conducted properly – as it appears they were – and the cargo door fault was, over the course of a legitimate and rigorous investigation, unable to be replicated, then I cannot blame McDonnel Douglas for overseeing that fault. I believe McDonnel Douglas is especially innocent when it is taken into consideration that the faultiness of the locking mechanism alone did not cause the accident, but that a ground crew forced the improperly locked door closed as well. I also see no fault in the work of the crew or the ground crew. The crew did an admirable job managing the incident and safely bringing the passengers back to Detroit.…

    Although there is a clearly stated disciplinary consequence for her action, the administrative staff conflict with enforcing that punishment. Mr. Furtoski, the principal, especially struggled with the decision because he did not want to supersede the teacher’s autonomy and rights to follow district mandated rules; which he helped to approve. At the same time, his moral consciousness played a role. He thought the punishment was unwarranted.

    Personally my vote was that the guy is “not guilty” because the man wasn’t sure who he really saw running downstairs. I do not live in a tenement, but it is close and there is just enough light in the hall so you can see the steps, no more! That’s why I choose “not guilty”. For example, “the light bulbs are so small and this murder took place in a tenement. Remember how we stumbled on the steps?”…
