Judicial murder made by inequity legal system

In the month after “Making a Murderer” premiered on Netflix, more than 129,000 Americans signed a petition to pardon Avery and Dassey for their convictions to the murder of Halbach and in the book ‘in cold blood’ written by Truman Capote, the two murderers were treated by ignoring the mental problem influence of theirs, they stayed in prison for five years and were finally performed death penalty. After reading the book and watching the TV show, I think these crimes sufficiently prove that there is a fundamental inequity at work in countless branches of legal system.

Making a Murderer tells a story about the life of Steven Avery, who was convicted of rape in 1985 and imprisoned for 18 years, despite

In the Clutter’s crime, Perry changed his final testimony to that he killed the whole Clutter family, not Dick. However, the result of the trial is to give both of them death penalty, that didn’t make sense because if both the testimony and the evidences couldn’t show that Dick murdered people, why he was punished by death penalty. There were also miscalculations in the crime of Avery which most caused by the bias of the police officers. Avery was charged by a rape crime, which evidences were forged by the police in 1985, they changed the picture of the suspect to a man which was like Avery although was different from the description of the victim and they also ignored the alibi of Avery proved by 22 people. Another charge of Avery after he was finally free in 2005 was the police thought he murdered Teresa, however, the evidences of the crime were mostly fake, parts of Teresa’s burned bones were found in Avery’s yard and her car key was found in Avery’s room, but the bones had unusual fracture and were separated located in another two places, and there was no Teresa’s finger print on her car key. That might be someone transferred the bones and the car key to frame Avery. The police also found bullet in Avery’s garage, however, there were no blood in the garage and when the investigator determine the DNA of the bullet, they made a mistake, which removed the DNA on the bullet. The officer Lenk was suspected to frame Avery, who was responsible for the rape crime of Avery before and managed his evidence staff. He was presence in every investigate of the second crime of Avery and after the investigated group found Avery’s blood in Teresa’s car, they found the sample of Avery’s blood of the rape crime was broken and someone stole the blood by needle

    The no argument is also at fault. In the interview with locals of Steven Avery’s hometown, they are incredibly biased because they are connected to the police department, and have “hometown camaraderie.” They aren’t even willing to consider his innocence, just like Making a Murderer isn’t willing to consider his guilt. These locals try to appeal to the reader’s emotions, asking if you would let Steven Avery live in your home, but this argument falls short because of their hostility. In the other articles on the no side, we see other media sources, like Radiolab, doing the exact thing Making a Murderer did: focus on one part of the argument, and shape their content to fit that argument.…

    Getting Away with Murder Although private military cooperation, or PMCs, are significantly more effective than standard organized national military forces that they originate from, the growing international concern about how these group behave in the midst of conflict might very well lead to their downfall. The reason that these groups are so lethal and cause such a high degree of apprehension, is that their loyalty, for the most part, goes out to the highest bidder, which tends to be the United States and its allies. The less political reason for all the aggravation is that anyone from the United States Army Rangers to the Green Berets to the counter terrorist group of Israeli, the Yamam, who is well above average in terms of combat expertise,…
