establish constructive possession. One of the ways constructive possession is satisfied is if one has a special relationship with the employer. See, e.g., People v. Galoia, 31 Cal. App. 4th, 595 (1994) (finding no special relationship when a “Good Samaritan” lacked sufficient interest in the property being taken). Constructive possession is not met if one lacks a special relationship with the employer. In Sykes v. Super. Ct., 30 Cal. App. 4th, 479, 484 (1994), the court held that a security…

The Good Samaritan Hospital of North Carolina was built in 1891. It was nicknamed “Good Sam” by the staff and patients. The money to build it came from St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and their members. It was a private hospital built just to treat black in the Charlotte community. When first built it could only accommodate 20 patients. It gradually grew over the years: • In 1925, it expanded and doubles the size of occupancy • In 1937, a wing was added and it became a one hundred bed hospital •…

Pastor Expands the Discourse on “The Samaritan Woman” There is much more to Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan Woman than just about “living water” and worship in spirit and truth. Every Christian should be familiar with the Biblical account of Jesus meeting a Samaritan woman by the well near the city of Sychar (John 4:4-26). It is in that event where He gave the discourse on the “Water of Life” and where He directly revealed himself as the Messiah to a non-Jew – and woman. For counselling…

I wish more people knew that under Good Samaritan Laws, voluntary rescuers are legally protected when aiding those in sudden cardiac arrest distress. Before becoming a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), I was completely unaware of the Good Samaritan Laws. In fact, I fallaciously believed that medical equipment such as an AED could only be handled by medical professionals. The widespread lack of awareness of Good Samaritan Laws prevents many from assisting in a sudden cardiac arrest…

Christians and the crusades. Jews and the Samaritans. Muslims and terrorists. Every religion has moments in their history in which they go against the basic teachings in their holy text. These moments in history are captured through the art forms that were popular during or after the time they were happening. For example, Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is a play that captures these moments of hypocrisy as it concerns the Jews and the Christians. Many critics look at this play in a new…

Instead of having to wait for the police or EMS to arrive, Florida law gives private citizens the legal right to intervene when time may be of the essence. In that type of situation, the Florida Good Samaritan Act gives you the right to break into a car to remove a “vulnerable person” (defined as a child under the age of 18 or an adult with a physical or mental disability) and provides civil immunity for damages. The statute also applies to domestic animals…

The research doesn’t surprise me, however, the case of Catherine Genovese (p. 288) does. Even after reading the chapter, it’s still hard to believe no one at least called the police. It does make sense that confusion will often cause people to not act. Kenrick, Neuberg, & Cialdini (2015), state that, Observers fail to help not so much because they are unkind as because they are unsure. They are often unsure of whether helping is appropriate. If they decide that it is, they are often unsure that…

In the Good Samaritan Home case, multiple nursing aids were accused of tormenting patients in Albert Lea, Minnesota. There were 8 total but two of the aides had no record of any criminal charges against them. 2 of the nursing aides, Ashton Larson and Brianna Broitzman, were convicted with fifth-degree assault, abuse of vulnerable adult by caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct and failing to report suspected maltreatment (Turley, 2008). Both Ashton and…

Coast Guard for the death of his wife based upon the Coast Guard’s one-hour delay in reaching the boat after he made a distress call asking for rescue due to the bad weather conditions? BRIEF ANSWER OR CONCLUSION Probably not. Under the Good Samaritan doctrine applicable to this case the Coast Guard probably won’t be liable for wrongful death since there are not omissions of failure to act, neither affirmative actions from its part causing Mrs. Moore’s death. FACTS James More and his wife…

Recitation Six: Jesus, Nicodemus, and the Samaritan Woman As we continue to study and probe the Synoptic Gospels it is more and more obvious that further investigation is needed to uncover the distinctive emphases of each author. Therefore, we have been using certain methodologies such as redactional criticism to help examine these emphases. This particular methodology is meant to determine what's important to authors by understanding how they used their sources. Although this proves effective…
