The Evidences- where the case went wrong: According to the file there was just one evidence against Morton and that evidence was a note found at the crime scene. That note was signed with “I L Y,” for I love you, and “M,” for Michael, who was Christine’s husband. (Bazelon, 2012). That note was all about a husband’s anger over his wife as she did not let him have sex with her at the night of Morton’s birthday. But that of course was not an enough evidence to prove someone guilty of homicide. It…
where her blonde roots showed as the pink dye wore away, the dark circles under her eyes would be amplified, and her voice would be uncharacteristically quiet. On those rare days, she wouldn't go out. At least not to more then one place. If the Sheriff had to count how many times her Enforcer showed up on her doorstep unannounced with an exhausted grin the only thing unwavering about her, she would probably just point to the evergrowing supply of half used supply of cupcake wrappers. When…
Pride & Charity in Winter’s Bone Daniel Woodrell’s Winter’s Bone tells a story about a young girl, Ree that is trying to find her lost dad to save her family and their house.

Cases that continue to occur are of police brutality. Police brutality is the use of any force, verbally or physically, beyond that reasonably necessary to accomplish a lawful police purpose. This issue has been happening for years but been put in the spotlight lately from the media. Police…
I observed two criminal courtrooms, one on Monday, March 9h and the other on Wednesday, March 11th of 2015. The courtrooms that I visited are both parts of the Fayette County Court, located close to my home. On Monday the 9th the courtroom I visited was a Superior Court room with Judge Fletcher Sams and on Wednesday the 11th I visited a State Court with Judge Jason Thompson. Observing Superior Court was very interesting. I observed a child molestation case, which plead to a lesser offense.…
