This was the seventh week out of twelve in my internship. This was another great week that was insightful and helpful to furthering my knowledge of the criminal justice system. I was sick on Monday which is why there is no event for that day. The log ends on the following Monday because I wanted to keep the string of five-day work weeks present in my reports. I am only mentioning this to make sure that there is no confusion in that part of the report. This week, was the week of the citizen’s…

Despite our efforts to avoid the harsh touch of death, we still flirt playfully with its presence, and dream of situations where the unknown and impossible…

“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality,” said Edgar Allan Poe ("15 Pieces of Wisdom from Edgar Allan Poe 's Work").
