    Being guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt” is the highest standard of proof in any trial, especially in criminal trials where a defendant can be deprived of his or her liberties and even result in his or her death. This principle, however, is often forgotten with the presence of strong religious beliefs and rising emotions following violent crimes. Directors, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, in the documentary film Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996) takes an insider look surrounding the trials of three teens who were accused of brutally murdering and sexually assaulting three eight year old boys in the Bible Belt town of West Memphis, Arkansas. The accused, Jessie Misskelley Jr., Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin would…

    Lizzie Borden was acquitted from the murder case of her father and step mother, this left the case an unsolved mystery for almost one hundred and twenty four years. No other suspects of this murder were ever found or at least never brought to court. This means that Lizzie Borden was the only person that anyone thought may have committed this crime. These murders took place on August 4, 1892 and Lizzie Borden was found not guilty by 1893 and fulfilled the rest of her life normally. The Lizzie Borden verdict was incorrect because Lizzie Borden was the only one home at the time of the murders, and her behavior before and after this tragic loss made her the only reasonable suspect.…

    Harlan Coben’s OpEd piece “The Undercover Parent” is a powerful piece written to convince parents that the benefits of spyware greatly outweigh the invasion of privacy. Throughout his essay, he maintains a friendly, parent-to-parent tone that one can compare to a conversation over coffee. As a college student without children, I found it difficult to understand the importance of monitoring children’s internet activities. However, when I forced myself to take on the perspective of a parent, I found Coben’s argument to be far more compelling, and found myself understanding the importance of spyware on computers that children have access to. In his article, Coben assumes that readers will have a negative response to the concept of spyware, but he uses his argument effectively to persuade the reader that spyware is not only harmless, but an asset in the toolbox of good parents.…
