Judge Corwin Case Study

Dear, judge Corwin
As a friend of Sarah Good I would like to share my beliefs of why she is most definitely guilty. All of the children present for this case accused her of hurting them several times with witchcraft. As she was brought in the meetinghouse all the children started acting strange and said Sarah was torturing them once again. Sarah’s Husband admits he was afraid that she either was or would soon be a witch. He beliefs she is an enemy to any and all good. When questioning Good she seemed very off putting and seemed to have the same answer to the majority of the questions she’d been asked. Good also could not state even one of the commandments which are mandatory to our church. When Good was asked to state the commandment she changed

    The political landscape as we know it today has always allowed The President of the United States to select his own Supreme Court judge. However, should the Supreme Court Judge’s beliefs represent the traits or value systems of the President of United States? For example, President George Bush appointed both Clarence Thomas and David Souter, two contrasting personalities say the least. Nonetheless, Clarence Thomas was known for his boldness, committed to seeking out the original meaning of the Constitution, perhaps, similarities to President Bush prosecuted the Gulf War and how he stood behind Thomas controversial confirmation hearings (McGinnis, Flaherty, 1995).…

    b. I believe Judge Lukemire also takes responsibility for enabling the actions of Mr. Camp. Under the full view of Judge Lukemire, Mr. Camp denied me representation of the preferred lawyers in the Warner-Robbins area. Mr. Camp did this by arranging for Ms. Jones to consult with a variety of what he evidently considered the best lawyers in the Warner Robbins area. The ex-wife had these consults after the summons had already been issued to me for the August 2011 hearing and after Ms. Jones had already retained Mr. Camp. When I sought these lawyers to represent me Mr. Camp would send a letter to Judge Lukemire claiming a conflict of interest and then the lawyer would decline to represent me.…
