    John And Patsy Ramsey Case Study

    There were several things that should have had changes brought against both John and Patsy Ramsey. There were several open windows and at least one open door in the house on the night of the murder, which would make it easier for an intruder to gain entry to the home. The fact that it was later determined that Patsy Ramsey constructed and staged the ransom note with the exact amount of her husband’s bonus that was left at the scene by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and that John Ramsey contaminated the evidence of the immediate area of the body and evidence on the body by moving it should have at least had them brought up on some type charges. Even though both of the Ramsey’s were cleared by DNA evidence, the police seriously botched…

    Casey Anthony Murder Case

    Although I do believe that Casey Anthony was involved in the murder of her child, I'm not sure if she actually killed her daughter. One of the main reasons for this belief, is that Anthony’s statements are riddled with lies and discrepancies. For instance on June 9, 2008 Casey claims that her daughter, Caylee, has gone missing. Later on she states that she dropped Caylee off with the babysitter, that didn't exist.…

    In the same way as other types of domestic violence, marital rape is about applying force and control over one's mate. Historically, intimate partner or marital rape was not viewed as a wrongdoing. This type of assault is extremely uncommon and isn't generally talk about for the reality it hasn't generally been illegal until 1993.
