    James Michael was born on July 05, 1975 in Manhattan, New York to Richard and Diana O'Hara. Richard O'Hara was a wealthy real estate tycoon, whereas Diana was a neurosurgeon at Bellevue Hospital Center. Diana had never wanted children, but after much persuasion on Richard's part, she eventually gave in, and during the next ten years their three children would be born.

    James H. Morrison: Rights for All Louisiana Congressman James Morrison, serving in the United States House of Representatives from 1943 to 1967, did not fit the mold of a Deep South white politician in the 20th century. A moderate on civil rights issues, rather than a typical staunch segregationist, he supported the important Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to extend a voice to voiceless southern blacks. In voting for this act, Morrison lost re-election to Congress in 1966 (“J.H Morrison”). Morrison voted for the Act, exemplifying political courage as described by John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage when he “triumphed over all personal and political considerations” and followed his conscience (Kennedy 18). The Voting Rights…

As demonstrated in this case, mental illness is not given the attention it deserves when determining a sentence. Cases such as these have aroused concern how fair the criminal court is towards the mentally ill.…
