I believe that the traditional Mexican attitudes toward death are unique and very different from the American view on death. I feel like they are valid; that attitude toward death is a very important part of their culture. Just because they are different from ours does not mean that they are incorrect or invalid; I think their views help people face a commonly feared thing. We, as Americans, see death as something to fear and we tend to ignore it. The traditional Mexican beliefs are not to fear…

argue that white-collar criminals are a different breed of criminals altogether and, therefore, would not benefit for incarceration and would merely overload an already overburdened prison system. With these arguments in place, it appears that the punishment for white-collar criminals should not be the same as that of traditional criminals. This is not to favor a specific type of crime over the other; on the contrary, I believe that both forms of crimes should be punished but in different…

Earlier this year, a young lady by the name of Michelle Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. Michelle is 20 years old, and a resident of Massachusetts. She was sentenced to 15 months incarceration. That being said, this case is anything but typical. Mr. Roy committed suicide.

After viewing the non-fiction media documentary, Making a Murderer, and listening to the non-fiction media podcast, Serial. I have seen two underage males be sentenced to life in prison for their actions in separate cases involving a death. I believe that it is right to punish teens for what they’ve done. If it’s a major crime like murder or others that have a similar consequence, then the teens should get the same amount of time in jail as adults. When should teen offenders receive life…

Ultimately, I would agree with the opinion of the majority as well as Judge Rehnquist. The first issue regarding the Fifth Amendment would be that the instance took place after indictment. During indictment, the defendant was notified of his rights and counsel had been appointed to him. Since he was informed of his rights and did not waive them, he is entitled to have them enforced through the pretrial process. The exam conducted is to determine competency upon indictment of a charge that could…

I would like to report a murder case number 301 based on my investigation in 1004 old oak Ln Hayward California which the Volupides house. I found out that Mrs. Queenie witnessed on how her husband died. She stated that “ Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs. He was coming down for another drink.” But before the incident they had a little fight before she went to the country club, and left the club shortly before one in the morning.

Beginning construction in 1878, Folsom Prison located in California came to be due to a decision made by California legislature in 1858. The decision to build a new prison was made because of “ serious overcrowding in San Quentin”( “Folsom Prison Museum Brochure” 1). With being one of the first maximum security prisons in the Nation, Folsom has a rich and impeccable history. In the beginning it had 1,700 cells, the walls were approximately 8’ by 4’ in size. The doors on the cells were solid…

The death penalty is a punishment of dead either by lethal injection or gas after a proper legal trial has taken place. While the death penalty remind to be a very divergences topic and many people disagrees with it, the death penalty has been around for centuries and has been affixed to the America justice system, it was never frown upon in the past. However, in present times many people started to go against it and now asking for a ban, while most states no longer partake in the dead…

In my opinion, I don’t believe that drug use, prostitution, or gambling fits the seven elements of crime except for legality and punishment. As I read the definition for each of the seven elements of the crime, I compared each to drug use, prostitution, and gambling. However, first for you to understand and for me explain my stance, you should know the legal definition of the crime. The legal definition is the “Intentional violation of Criminal Law, committed without defense or excuse and…
