years. Turning informant, Hill’s testimonies led to fifty convictions in all. According to his book, The Lufthansa heist, Hill spent the rest of his life in hiding with a one million dollar bounty on his head from the mod. What if the play on the court is fair, but the people refereeing the outcome are not. Fans watch games and a lot of the time do not agree with a call from an umpire. Some might yell at him to “get a pair of glasses!” Or other rants trying to express their frustration with the…

Aside from protecting racially-motivated policing, the Supreme Court has also made it so that claims of racial bias cannot be made in the sentencing process. An example of this can be found in McClesky v. Kemp, where the Supreme Court illustrated that they would tolerate discrimination in the criminal justice system so long as no one explicitly claimed their racial biases (Alexander, 109). In 1987, an African American man named Warren McCleskey was facing the death penalty after being convicted…

Although this may happen, ultimately the women has the final say so and sometimes if the one party does not have a family and the other does then they have a bigger decision to make unless of course it is the women in this situation. There is one court case that many people known to have set the form of american abortion law which is “Roe vs. Wade” ( Norma, 1973). This started in which the supreme court saw the…

7. NASCAR and the MLS are unique in that they have a certain type of stability that other sports do not. In a previous case, the Supreme court ruled that it did not know enough about the sport of NASCAR to make fair rulings. Due to this, NASCAR has their own appeals panel of three people (owners or NASCAR reps) to make decisions. A current example of this occurred earlier this year. A driver failed a post-inspection for three loose lug nuts. This team is facing a 35-point deduction and a…

Board it is evident that the courts don’t have much influence in changing society. A society is going to take years to change after living a certain way for their entire lives. They especially will not change if the law is not enforced. The court also does not guarantee that the rights stated by the law will be applied to everyone. Education is still in dire straits in areas that are heavily…
