    Chief Oshkosh Case Analysis

    The trial of Chief Oshkosh for the murder of Pawnee tribe member Okeguay due to a Menominee tradition of retaliation executions served less as an execution of justice and more as a drawn-out legal proceeding with no direct consequences and massive legal ramifications. This actual intention behind the trial becomes clear through the actions and statements of Judge James D. Doty. Baird records that upon his motion for final judgment in light of the conviction, “the Judge gave, at length, an opinion upon which facts states in the special verdict”. The Judge Doty proclaimed that “as the individual who had been killed by the accused was himself a Indian, and the accused was one of the nation amongst whom a custom existed, allowing the relation of…

    Roper Vs. Simmons Case Study

    In reference to Atkins versus Georgia, The Supreme Court eventually ruled that by executing the mental challenge did violate the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments pertaining to cruel and unusual punishment (Legal Information Institute, 2017). Simmons’s counsel argued that the Constitution forbids the execution of a juvenile who is under the age of 18 when a crime was committed. Simmons filed a new petition for a state post-conviction relief, arguing that Atkins’ established reasoning that the Constitution forbids the execution of a youth who was under the age of 18 when they committed a crime (FindLaw, 2017). Nine years later, the Missouri Supreme Court finally reviewed Simmons’ case in 2003 (Legal Information Institute, 2017).
