Police conduct during the Carter murder investigation was far from ideal. The police did not follow appropriate procedures when conducting interviews and interrogations and they harassed Williamson and Fritz for four years when, at the time, they did not even have fabricated evidence. The prosecution and police then fabricated evidence against the two men, implicating them in the rape and murder when no true evidence pointed to them and, in fact, much of the evidence pointed against them. in…

“I don’t believe we were put here with all our differences to conform to a uniform state of mind” (Teclai). Standing up for one’s beliefs is a conflict in Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee’s Inherit the Wind. In Inherit the Wind Bertram Cates must go against the Bible-loving citizens of Hillsboro, and dares to teach the Theory of Evolution. Cates is put on trial for his actions and the famous Henry Drummond must defend Cates and the right to thought. Henry Drummond’s fairness, empathy, and wisdom…

determine if gun control laws lower gun-related homicide rates in the United States, as based on an analysis of statistical data following the implementation of the Brady Act; as well as, to determine if these laws produce an increased demand for guns in illegal gun markets. One of the major concerns for American citizens is that the Brady Act and any further actions by the government affect our rights under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that "A well…

they’re able to reach the ER. Modern gun control began in 1968 with the Gun Control Act. This allowed state, local, and federal law enforcement officials to have increased power in regulating gun control (this was in an attempt to fight crime). The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 followed the Gun Control Act, and it made it so that people who were interested in buying guns had to pass a background check. The following year, the Federal Assault Weapons ban…

lobby for stricter gun control laws so the problem of gun violence could cease. “Because of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, named after James Brady, who was shot during an assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, the Brady Law has helped to prevent a total of more than 536,000 felons, fugitives, domestic abusers, and other prohibited purchasers from buying guns since 1994. The Brady Law was enacted, amending the Gun Control Act of 1968 “Source: Whitehouse.gov website,…

It was Christmas day in the year 2003, in cold Chicago, Illinois. A man robbed a local home. As a result, the victim of the house took a gun and shot the burglar. The criminal was taken to a hospital to be taken care of, while the owner faced charges and prosecutions since the town had a gun ordinance ban. If it was not for the law abiding citizen, this man would have gotten away with theft and possibly assault (Wheeler 20). Gun control will altogether cause more problems in America than it will…

Between the years 2000 and 2013 the amount of deaths by guns in America exceeded the amount of deaths caused by AIDS, drugs, wars, and terrorism combined. Even more shocking than this statistic is how unique this issue is to the United States. In the United States there are 29.7 homicides for every 1 million people. Switzerland, with the second highest rate in the world, has only 7.7. It is not that Americans are just more violent individuals, in fact the US ranks far below first for crimes…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
