In the case of Manuel Pina Babbitt v. Arthur Calderon (1998) I agree with the guilty verdict of Manuel Pina Babbitt who was charged with first degree murder of Leah Schendel after she died due to heart failure in the course of his burglary, robbery and attempted rape. In addition, he was also convicted of the burglary and attempted rape of Mavis Wilson. Babbitt’s counsel presented an argument that used his mental health issues caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a defense. However, I believe that his actions were a voluntary act. Before Babbitt entered the homes of those two women he had the criminal intent, which means that he intended on committing a crime. Babbitt purposely entered the home without invitation and stole their

    United Sates V. Lopez Case Study

    I too think that having a gun on school grounds is a serious crime. In the case of United Sates v. Lopez it should have only been up to the state to punish him, but that wasn't the case. Lopez's crime should not have been punishable under the Commerce Crime and that was exactly what the ruling upheld. The Commerce Crime had nothing to do with the Gun Free School Zone Act and therefore it was unconstitutional. Great discussion.…

Additionally, the recommended stance of the Commissioner of DSS at the end of the case study will be to implement new contracts with nonprofit agencies while increasing communication between the agencies to prevent additional neglect of the children to occur.

Mental illness resulting from wrongful imprisonment on death row stands as a deplorable and preventable collateral consequence of the negligence of the judicial system. The trauma of the death row experience as an innocent man sparks Walter’s symptoms of anxiety and dementia.…

    Armstrong V. Kline Case Study

    The 1980 court case, Armstrong V. Kline, drew from parents of children with exceptionalities becoming upset with the education system’s 180-day school year rule1. Beginning in January of 1980, they decided that enough was enough and they needed to do something before summer vacation came so, their child/children would not lose everything they learned during the school year1. The parents took on the court case, filing three class action lawsuits, all of which were against Caryl Kline, the secretary of education and chief official of the Department of Education1. The result of this particular case relieved me but, the fact it had to become a court case, I found to be absolutely ridiculous. Also, the terminology they used while describing the…
