police officer does can effect the memory of a witness. The way a police officer handles a witness can affect the way their memory or the outcome of the identity of the suspect. In the Anderson case, police failed to conduct a proper photo spread lineup. As Clare (2012) stated all the photos should have similar lighting, size and shades of color (para. 1). In the Anderson case the photos were not similar, the majority were black and white. The man who was arrested, his photo was in color. A…

ABC News held a recent experiment where they staged a purse snatching in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. The object of the scenario is to give awareness on primetime that human perception is faulty and can lead to the imprisonment of innocent people. Actors were hired to play the victim and the criminal. The criminal walked up to the victim and asked if he could use her pen to write a phone number down. The criminal then proceeded to yell and then snatch her purse. The victim immediately turned to…

Injuries have picked apart the original starting lineup. A stretch of games that hasn’t been seen in over a decade, including both 11 and nine game road trips throughout June and the first week of July would have played a toll on any team in the majors. The strength of the Cubs, the starting rotation…

In Antonio Beaver, I think his wrongful conviction was most common in that time of period. This is the same as Ronald Cotton whom also was convicted and sentenced for a case of raping a white woman. One of the factors of mismatching the perpetrator is the memory. Memory is not always recalling everything that passed our eyes. Cross-racial identification bias is that people tend to apply more lenient criteria of a different race or ethnicity. In the book, the said that the higher rate of false…

assets When drafting your fantasy team, you want to have a roster with different players at different positions in order to provide balance and depth to your lineup. Same can be said for your stock portfolio, which is composed of different kinds of stock that you have invested in such as value stock and magnification stock. Most of your starting lineup should consist of players that you know will consistently reward you like value stock (more dividends) and then you’ll have decent players that…

released (Olsen, 2000). Furthermore, Geronimo’s case exhibited many errors that correlate with the arraignment of the individuals from the exonerated cases. Involvement of suggestibility plays a huge role in eyewitness identification during the photo lineup as well as questioning; the difference between conviction and release of an individual. Pratt’s case is a perfect example of how the criminal justice failed an innocent man by allowing parties within to corrupt the system. Seventy-five…

Breaking Benjamin is a rock band from Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1999 by Benjamin Burnley, lead singer and guitarist for the band. The first lineup included drummer Jeremy Hummel, bassist Mark Klepaski, and guitarist Aaron Fink.

The cards were stacked up against Walter Swift being accused of a crime he did not commit; eyewitness misidentification, incomplete forensic testimony, government misconduct and an inadequate defense. In 1982, a white pregnant woman was raped and robbed by a black man in her home in Detroit, Michigan while playing with her seven month old son. She described her assailant as a thin black man between the ages of 15 and 18. She stated to detective Janice Nobliski, that the man was clean shaven with…

on its own. The police asked the victim to identify Brenton 2 hours after his wife had been shot which is hardly enough time for his shock of the situation to die down. Also, when they presented him Mr. Butler, they did not do so in the form of a lineup they presented him by himself in the area that the crime happened. The setting he was presented in, the time he was allowed to view Mr. Butler, the distance he viewed him and the traumatic state he was in, all led to his wrongful identification…
