    In the story Our America, we’re trying to answer the question, are Tyrone and Johnny responsible for Eric Morse’s death? There is no right answer to this question since based on one's personal opinion and definition of responsibility. The universal definition responsibility is ”the opportunity or ability to act independently and make decisions without authorization.” In my opinion regarding this scenario responsibility matters because it's the answer to whether Johnny and Tyrone are guilty or not. Johnny and Tyrone have many reasons to be held responsible for the murder of Eric Morse, but because of the terrible influences that come from their neighborhood and people not putting in enough time to teach them right from wrong; they tried to…

    At the age of 17, when he was still a junior in high school, Christopher Simmons, the respondent here, committed murder.

I reacquainted myself with information about my prime suspect, Bobby Cutler - a local bad boy, who had already left school and worked in his family’s butcher shop in 1976. He was not only the ‘prime suspect’ but according to the Angelic Counsel, ‘the murderer’. At the time, he was brought in for questioning, but a strong alibi and no evidence to suggest otherwise, the police were forced to release him.…

    Quote #1 In the murder mystery, Mr.Justice Wargrave is guilty of killing not one, but nine people and himself. The author does such an excellent job in keeping the reader wondering who the killer is until the end of the book.

And this is the clue; “Given the scheme in question which is neither more nor less than the execution of justice upon certain individuals for offenses which the law cannot touch, there is only one way in which that scheme could be accomplished. Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way.…

    Peter William Sutcliffe otherwise known as ‘The Yorkshire Ripper ' was arrested on January 1st, 1981 after a murderous spree which spanned five years and claimed the lives of 13 women and attempting to murder a further seven (see appendix for details of victims). The case engulfed the nation as one of the most brutal in modern history since that of ‘Jack the Ripper ' in the 1800 's hence why the media adopted the term ‘Yorkshire ripper ' when addressing the case. Although known for the heinous crimes and number of them the case is also infamous for the failings of the West Yorkshire Police force in its hunt of Sutcliffe. The tension throughout West Yorkshire left neighbour suspecting neighbour and women afraid to be out at night alone. Despite the efforts of the police force, it was a standard patrol with an experienced officer who was training another that caught Sutcliffe and brought an end to his spree.…
