Anna Tarlton Case

Annie Harper was not allowed to register to vote in Virginia because she wasn’t able to pay the state’s poll tax. Virginia law required voters to pay $1.50 tax to register, with the money collected going to public school funding. Ms. Harper sued the Virginia Board of Elections, claiming the poll tax violated her 14th Amendment right to equal protection. Note: The 24th Amendment to the Constitution already banned poll taxes in federal elections, but not in state elections. The U.S. District Court dismissed Ms. Harper’s suit in favor of the Board of Elections. She then asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.

Megan Kanka and several other children have been the reason for the safety of children around this country. I know that you’re wondering in what way this person contributed to the safety of other children. Well Megan Kanko was a 7 years old child who was next door from a previously charged pedophile in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. The difference between then and now is that in the past there were no laws stating that pedophiles had to inform those who lived near them that they were there, of their past convictions, or even some type of registration available. This was the case of Megan Kanka’s offender, Jesse Timmendequas. His record consisted of attempted aggravated sexual assault of a 5-year-old girl in Piscataway, New Jersey, in 1979. He had pleaded guilty to the charges for attempted aggravated sexual assault. He was given a suspended sentence, but he failed to go to counseling, so he was forced to spend nine months at the Middlesex Adult Correctional Center. In 1981, he again pleaded guilty in regards to the sexual assault of a seven-year-old girl and was imprisoned, at Avenel, for six years. He’s an example of a recidivist who was controlled and

The Birmingham paper of Wednesday morning, December 5, contained headlines that would have been enough to capture anyone’s attention. On December 4, the body of a nicely-dressed girl around the age of eight or nine years old was found floating in the lake in the Birmingham suburbs known as East Lake.

It was 2006 when Emma Sanchez was filing paperwork to be legalized in the U.S when she had to go to an appointment with immigration authorities at the U.S Consulate in Cuidad Juarez. And what happened next may have been the worst moment of her life. “Authorities told her she would be prohibited from returning home from Vista for 10 years, despite the fact that Paulsen, 51, is a U.S citizen and a Marine veteran” (Tatiana Sanchez). Situations similar to Emma Sanchez has happened before-many times in fact. According to the article “Deported Mothers Make New Lives in Tijuana Separated families part of the debate over U.S immigration” by Tatiana Sanchez, “In the first half of 2014, U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported 22,088 unauthorized

An individual may stay in a violent relationship for a variety of factors, making it difficult to remain safe. For example, love, fear, pride, loyalty, embarrassment, children, lack of knowledge about options, low self-esteem, or a combination of these factors. Thus, safety is the first priority for any victim of domestic violence (California Attorney General's Office, 2002). As such, a critical first step for Dr. Breyker is to identify, validate, and address the heightened dangers Anita could face. Effectively blocking Ab’s ability to continue his control over Anita should also be uppermost in determining the referrals Dr. Breyker will give to Anita. Naturally, referrals to law enforcement are primary. But the individual circumstances of Anita’s

For many years, the death penalty has been one of the most controversial topics in many debates all across the globe. In the case of Laura Wilcox, who was murdered by a mentally ill patient at a hospital, the death penalty was irrelevant in her parent’s opinion, despite losing their only daughter. The man was found not guilty because the courts ruled insanity was the reason for this awful tragedy and instead of being sent to death row, he was instated into a mental hospital. The Wilcox’s say they have always opposed the death penalty and say they always will oppose the death penalty. Their moral values are far more important to them than getting revenge against a man who cannot bring their daughter back. They view the death penalty for what

Our focus now turns to a petition posted to the UK Government’s petition website, “Free childcare for 2 year olds to include parents who are both working full time” by Emily Bignell where we will assess the circumstances and audience in which it was made, and how it compares to the stylistic traits exhibited in Nakiryowa. First, the context of Bignell’s petition is different from Nakiryowa, with Bignell having posted on a governmental website whereas Narikawa on a public, unaffiliated website. Unlike the unset numerical standards on change.com, the UK site posits that only “at 100,000 signatures, [will] this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. Since the petition can only be signed by UK citizens, working class parents in the UK stand to be likely supporters and beneficiaries of Bignell’s petition, in its pursuit to convince the UK government to pass helpful legislation.

The wrongful conviction of Guy Paul Morin in Canada for the murder of Christine Jessop in 1984 is on record for legal history as evidence that prosecutions can mistake in any justice system. The conviction of Guy Paul was based off of secondary evidence, contaminated evidence, unreliable testimony and poor police work and it took advances in forensic science and DNA fingerprinting to finally clear his name in 1995 (H2G2, 2013).The murderer of Christine Jessop has not yet been found till this day, but there is still hope that further advances in forensic science will solve the mystery eventually, so that justice will be served (H2G2, 2013). Initially this case all begun when Christine Jessop, a nine-year-old girl who lived in Queensville, Ontario,
