    If I had been prosecuting James Earl Ray I do feel that my case would have been strong enough to win at trail. Based on the eye witness, his confession and the fingerprints alone would have been enough to convict him. Although, he later recanted his confession, there was no other evidence available to support his claim that he did not shoot King himself, but was a conspirator. I would argue why would anyone purposely leave their fingerprints on murder weapon. Ray claimed he just wanted to be famous, but what person would risk getting the death penalty for fame?…

    Actually, the evidence found did point to James Earl Ray as the perpetrator of the crime and no other evidence other than claims of a conspiracy were found at the scene. However, there were some weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, the two witnesses at the rooming house could not identify the man they saw running from the bathroom after the shot. Nor could they match the gun to the mangled bullet that killed Doctor Martin Luther King (Polk, 2008). A confession of this crime helped the prosecutors put James Earl Ray behind bars and kept him there until his death. Nevertheless, I believe a good prosecutor could win this case.…

    In Russell Tiller’s documentary The Seven Five, the characters Michael Dowd and Adam Diaz were ideal ‘criminals’ to analyse using theories that we discussed in class. I will be using four theories to explain why those two characters were committing criminal acts. The four theories I plan to use are learning theory, self control theory, general strain theory, and differential association. I would like to start with Michael Dowd. He was known to be fearless, he was known to not care if he got busted, and he learned a lot of this behavior because of his fellow peers.…

    Identifying with a certain race brings people to a place they can usually belong to; the people around them have the same general values and thoughts. The narrator in ‘The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man’ by James Weldon Johnson belongs to two races. His skin color is that of a white man but his facial features are that of a black man. The narrator grows up with limited views about the African American social views. This leads the narrator to believe he can better the social views of the black man.…

    When the majority of people picture a villain, they might describe one as “a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime” (“Villain”, dictionary.com). Our world today is filled with more villainous acts than we can count, whether it be as small as a lie or as grand as several murders. Charles Manson was an American villain who was guilty of an abundance of malicious acts - some that sound too obscene to even be true. A cult leader with around a hundred followers, Manson and his family are “thought to have carried out some 35 killings” (“Charles Manson”, A&E Networks Television). Manson’s difficult childhood led him to create a unique character out of himself, where he developed some interesting theories and…

    Published in 1993, “Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member,” is a memoir written by Sanyika Shakur. Set in East Los Angeles during the late 70s, 80’s and early 90s, Shakur’s book illustrates the overwhelming amount of violence that occurs due to conflicts between rivalry gangs. As mentioned in the book, the majority of the conflict is not between the Crips and the Bloods but instead between Crips and other Crips. The book offers a unique difference from most other books about gang life because the author, also known as “Monster Kody” throughout most of the text, is a notorious member of the “Eight Trays Gangster Crips” and manages to work his way through the ranks to Original Gangster. Just graduating the sixth grade, Kody has…

    Racism is an overwhelming problem that impacts our country and ultimately, our world greatly. Although, we are in a much better place than we were at the time of the Jim Crow laws, the United States still has many obstacles to overcome. The first article “Black Men and Public Space,” written by Brent Staples, shows different cultures discriminating against others. Staples explains how people stereotype him as the typical black male, even though he has chosen “to remain a shadow--timid, but a survivor” (348). Consequently, he chooses to try and make people more comfortable around him by whistling classics or waiting until certain people pass, in hopes that one day, racism is a thing of the past.…
