Paul Bernardo's Argumentative Essay

Improved Essays
This was the first case I have ever studied and actually took an in-sight look on, and let me tell you, I was very unsatisfied, sick to my stomach and angry, to say the least. I am upset that it took twenty-three girls to be raped and even three murdered in order to finally see justice served, that in my opinion wasn’t even served. First off, just because the Scarborough rapes had stopped, they felt that there was no need to put Paul Bernardo’s DNA samples as high priority, and as a result pushed them to the back of the line and had to wait three years to hear an answer that many detectives had thought they knew anyways. What also upset me is that Paul Bernardo had the audacity to ask if he was able to have day parole. To even think that he feels he has a right to be in society is sickening, and the fact that he has shown no remorse for everything he has done proves that he is a psychopath. He still hasn’t even taken any responsibility for the three girls’ murders and still blames everything on Karla Homolka, his now ex-wife. It outrages me to even write about Karla Homolka but I must give her credit for her smarts when it came to making a deal with police. I believe that Karla Homolka was the only reason the three girls had died because if you look back at all of Paul Bernardo’s rapes before he met Karla, none of his victims were killed. Yes, Paul Bernardo was extremely abusive, but I do not think he had enough guts to ever actually kill a girl. I think that Karla was his life-coach directing him into helping her kill the girls. …show more content…
Yes the case could have been dealt with a lot better, but taking into consideration the technology and laws in the past, everyone on the case did the best they could do to catch the infamous “Scarborough

In the summer of 2016 Mr. Sanchez shot and killed thirty-two year old Kathryn Steinle who was walking on Pier 14 in San Francisco with her father.

    Is Willingham Guilty?

    Personally, I do not think that they did enough investigations towards the case. Therefore, it would be hard to judge whether Cameron Todd Willingham is guilty or not guilty of intentionally setting the fire that killed his daughters. The fact that former Governor Perry did not allow the case to be extended for 30 more days in order for Willingham’s attorney to find more evidence for the case seems outrageous. If a man has been seating in jail for that many years, what is that to give that person 30 more days. One would never know what that 30 days will entailed and there might be a possible chance to free this person.…

    In my opinion I feel that maquiladora should take initiative and try to do something to better the living and environment of their workers, because they are what luring people to the border and they are exploiting them for manual labor, so they should be the ones to give back to their community. The maquiladoras have both helped and caused harm to the people of Nogales. The women have benefited because they can now brake away from the traditional societal norms of the Mexican culture that the women normally uphold. The women that work for the maquiladoras have the ability and Power to take charge over their own minds and bodies. They can go to work and have their husbands stay at home and look after their kids.…

    I believe that the sentencing was very biased. Who’s better to blame for the death of police officials then the leaders of union and reformer groups. I feel as if the state felt that the leaders should take the responsibility of the actions of someone else since they are the main reason for the organization of the protest. It seems as if this judgement was reflected on the fact that the eight were on trial for their political beliefs and not necessarily on their actions on the evening of the Haymarket Massacre.…

    In my opinion, I thought you never forget a tragic event but after reading this story really made me think differently. I look back at a tragic event in my life and wonder if I am remembering it correctly. I pondered questions after reading this story like how many other innocent people were wrongly convicted or how many other people were given the death sentence for something they did not do just because someone identified them. You used to hear it all the time on the news, people being convicted due to someone’s testimony because courts often want to close a case fast. Now a day we have DNA and more evidence to prove which makes me hopeful that there convicting the right people for…

    The American man is insistent on persuading the girl to see how his solution would provide the most favorable outcome for them (read: him) and pushes it throughout the story. He plays both options and reassures the girl that he loves her and supports her regardless of what she chooses to do with the pregnancy. But it’s heavily hinted at that he does not want the child. In turn, it highlights the contrast between the couple’s differing opinions. Hemingway reveals the American’s stance on the pregnancy by stating, “That’s the only thing that bothers us.…
