sale of soft drinks in the Los Angeles, California's public school system (Simon, 2006, p. 174). The soda industry hired the Center for Consumer Freedom to lobby against the bill without disclosing the affiliation with the industry. The expert's testimony favored the soft drink companies and this effort eventually resulted in the sales being reinstated in high schools. The argument that high students had the ability to make choices outweighed the fact that students who drink soda are more…

In the case of Willingham, after authorities had concluded that Willingham was likely guilty of murder, Willingham's understandable grief and shock at the scene of the fire is later construed by witnesses as overacting, pretend emotion. It is an example of hindsight bias that when people learn something new, they immediately connect it to other related memory and believe it is predictable. During the process of investigation and prosecution, eyewitnesses in the case of Willingham changed their…

Hume argues that miracles are based purely on experience and that we essentially can’t trust anyone’s judgement because of that. He claims that people are untrustworthy, and because it is impossible to tell whether or not they are making something up or not, we should just assume that they are and we therefore cannot take their word for their experience into consideration when it comes to miracles. A flaw in this argument, however, is that we would have to apply this philosophy to the ideas of…

Then, he retells the old man’s testimony: “He heard ‘I’m gonna kill you’, then a split second later heard the body hit the floor.” And the woman’s testimony: “she saw the killing through the last two windows of the passing el train.” At this point the other men of the jury are listing intently waiting to see how juror number eight is going to…

taught him many lessons like this that shaped him and his powerful testimony. By the age of 11, he received his patriarchal blessing. He spoke of this blessing saying "It is personal, and I will not read extensively from it. However, it contains the statement: 'The nations of the Earth shall hear thy voice and be brought to a knowledge of the truth by the wonderful testimony which thou shalt bear."'

After the Civil War, the country was severely imbalanced. This shortcoming led to problems; more specifically, problems pertaining to the Freedmen during Reconstruction.

All of the jurors were taking part in deciding whether this old man was right or wrong. The old mans disability to walk, him recalling seeing the boy could be not true, therefore doubting his reasons of conviction and the question of doubt in all of the jurors minds, this caused all the jurors to pay close attention to the other witnesses testimonies. Also this…

Pat and Rusk left the bar together. Rusk casually had asked Pat while inside the bar which direction she going, as he needed a ride to his apartment. Pat and Rusk did not know one another prior to their encounter at the bar. During Pat’s trial testimony, she suggested that she had given Rusk a disclaimer that she was only giving him a ride home and nothing more would come of it. During the ride to Rusk’s apartment it was alleged that Rusk had asked Pat multiple times to come to his apartment,…

been widely debated for 67 years. However, recently discovered evidence regarding a possible brain tumor has ignited a possible solution. The discovery of a “hardened mass” located in the skull’s interior, common symptoms, documents, and witness testimonies have caught the attention of hundreds of people, and might just as well prove to solve the ultimate mystery. In 1875, the author’s remains were exhumed and placed in new grave with a larger monument. Alas, as the task was carried out,…
