Mary Johnson Case

Decent Essays
“The murder was like a tsunami. Shock. Disbelief. Hatred. Anger. Hatred. I wanted him to be caged up like the animal he was.” This is probably the reaction, sometimes worse, when a loved one is murdered. Mary Johnson’s son was murdered by Oshea Israel in 1993. Even though her son was murdered horrifically, she forgave him and invited Israel to live next door to her. I think this is what mercy is all about. We need mercy in our daily lives to make the world a better place to love and to live

Since the start of his career, Marshall, a certain Federalist, entered into a confrontation with the newly elected President Thomas Jefferson, a convinced Antifederalist (Bederman).

    “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted “ (US). This is what the Eighth Amendment states. Although excessive bail and fines are intriguing, what’s more striking about the Eighth Amendment is that it mentions “cruel and unusual punishments”. Although you would think “cruel and unusual punishments” might be rare I think you’d be surprised how many cases deal strictly with what the Eighth Amendment prohibits.…
