Based on information gathered by the prosecution prior to November 6th, 2017, I believe that the jury will find defendant Rebekah Ponder guilty of the murder of Walter White, and defendant Elshaday Yilma will be found complicit. However, evidence will be found insufficient for the jury or an otherwise reasonable person to convict either defendant of robbery. During the trial, the jury will convict Ponder and Yilma of murder and complicity to murder because of the evidence that will be proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the prosecution. As seen in chapter 507, section 20 of the Penal Code for The State of Berea College, The Actus Reus of Murder is an act that causes the death of a person or third person.…

In this debate, the Democratic legislative side leaned against capital punishment; while the Republican legislative side leaned towards capital punishment. The Democratic side reasons that the death penalty violates the state constitution against excessive punishments.…
The article that I chose to write about covers homicides that have taken place across Cincinnati's 53 neighborhoods for a 36-month period last year. The article was an interest of mine, because an old school friend’s father took the job as the police chief in Cincinnati recently. When I viewed the data that was presented in the article, the horizontal axis explained the number of homicides in a neighborhood. The vertical axis explained how many neighborhoods had each of these numbers; in the first column, 13 neighborhoods had zero homicides (Crowe, 1991). Most neighborhoods had few homicides, but there are a few neighborhoods in Cincinnati that have many homicides.…

The United States of America has a higher homicide rate than many other countries in the world. There are various reasons associated with the highest homicide rate.

We also have higher murder rates then Europe, Japan and even our neighboring country Canada.…
