In the United States there is a significant divide between the states regarding the legalization of the death penalty. The main argument presented when speaking of the death penalty is the question of whether the act itself remains constitutional. On average thirty lives have been ended by this complex process per year. The…

The death penalty creates the risk of the execution of someone who is actually innocent? The death penalty is an incredibly divisive subject, and one which will divide opinion until the end of time. There are people on both sides who will fight for what they believe in. They are ultimately fighting for the same thing though; they are fighting for justice. It is a common goal shared by both sides, who want to live in a just world; one where they feel safe and protected. The death penalty, or…

Throughout history, questions have arisen about when it is right to kill someone or not. There are usually two sides to this controversy: it is never right to kill someone, or it is better to kill one person and save thousands of lives than to risk the death of thousands of people. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, it can be argued that Caesar truly did deserve to die for various reasons. In Julius Caesar, Caesar deserved his fate because he had many physical weaknesses that held him back, he was…

Imagine making a mistake in your life and being sent to prison only to be exploited in a way that makes you feel like less than a human being. Often the companies that own these prisons overlook the conditions and maintenance in order to keep their profits maximized. Inmates are treated like numbers rather than people, because companies are focused on the number of prisoners they can house rather than the number of prisoners they can rehabilitate. Author Seth Wessler wrote about the harsh…

number of prisoners. As a result, jails have become “warehouses for prisoners” (Ritzer, 137). The packed prisons result in a lack of care and rehabilitation which has not helped reduce recidivism, and instead the prisons have created a “criminogenic effect leading to more crime” (Ritzer, 138). Those who have spent time in prison often return to prison because they have conducted other crimes. Prisons were supposedly designed to keep criminals away from the people in everyday society and to…

Most people would agree that murder is wrong. Most people would also agree that pedophilia is wrong. When it comes to the case of virtual murder and virtual pedophilia, people’s opinions tend to change. The general consensus is that virtual murder is morally permissible, as no one is actually harmed. However, even though no children are actually harmed, people view virtual pedophilia as morally impermissible. In The Gamer’s Dilemma, author Morgan Luck argues that “Unless such players [video…

Adnan Syed, my client, was convicted of first degree murder in 1999. He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Hae Min Lee. Her cause of death was manual strangulation and her body was buried in Leakin park, Baltimore. Adnan was convicted because of one sole witness, Jay Wilds. He testified that Adnan killed Hae and forced him to help bury her body. His details on what they did with the body and what he and Adnan did that day were striking. Because of him, Adnan was convicted even…

Adnan is innocent because Jay’s testimonies of Hae’s murder are inconsistent. On February 1999, Hae Min Lee’s body was found. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted of her murder. The prosecution’s main evidence against Adnan was the testimony of Jay Wilds. Jay’s testimonies have many inconsistencies that discredit his reliability on who killed Hae and what actually happened that day. Some inconsistencies are the different stories of her place of murder and the lack of potential evidence…

The first reason why, Adnan’s trial is unforgivable because of the categorization about his very own case scenario. While going through his very own transcripts from his six-week trial, they were being forced to finish, he wasn’t only be able to try to put the evidence but also on his setting. Their very own analysis of the data couldn’t really be able to find any determined truthful evidence that is being showed at the case to propose that religion was actually motivated to the crime scene.
