On March 14, 2013, the writer of this work attended a criminal sentencing docket at the Morgan County Courthouse in the Circuit Court in Decatur, Alabama. The Honorable Glenn Thompson was presiding over the criminal sentencing docket. The docket was five pages long with multiple attorneys and defendants present in the courtroom.

In today’s society crimes in the United State are growing each day, and the major aspect of the U.S criminal justice system is the punishment imposed on those who committed crimes in our communities. One method of sentencing criminals was the establishment of the mandatory minimum sentencing. During the early days of the republic, specific sentences were carried out for certain crime and early mandatory sentences the forms of punishment used at the time stretched from ducking stools/cucking stools for disorderly women and dishonest tradesmen in England, Soctland to hanging for convicted murderers. However, in recent years, evidence gathered have shown that the federal mandatory minimum sentencing were not in effect for reaching the goals of the criminal justice system. Chief Justice William Rehnquist has previously stated that “these statutes are “perhaps a good example of the law of unintended consequences. This essay will discuss the history, goals, benefits, and negatives of the American Judicial Systems Mandatory Sentencing.

Merritt, N. Fain, Tuner, S. (2006). The author’s show that Oregon maintained an indeterminate criminal sentencing system through the 1980s (pp 5-6). Judges worked within broad penalty ranges set by the legislature to determine appropriate sentences, setting minimum and maximum terms for each defendant on an individual basis, with a parole board with responsible for reviewing the progress of each offender and determining whether, and when, rehabilitation was sufficient to merit release

I am writing this statement with high hopes that serious consideration will be taken in the clemency recommendation of Daulfus Barnes case number 2010008051001D. From my understanding Daulfus my biological father, the man who physically and mentally violated me as a child is asking for mercy or a reduction of time in regards to the sentence that he received just a few years ago. I am not sure if the board is aware of the specifics of the case, however I would like to share how what he has done has impacted me and why the time he was sentenced to should stand. When I was about twelve years old Daulfus did some horrible and horrific things to me and also me do some of the same kind of things back to him that will stick

You even provided us with an example of how an annotated bibliography should look like and what was considered a peer reviewed academic article, which I think was very helpful.

Between 1976, when Supreme Court lifted its preclusion on capital punishment and 2000 Texas has executed 238 individuals (Walpin, 2000). Why do capital punishment cases proceed so quickly compared to other states? Brent Newton, in an article entitled “ The death penalty: Texas could learn a lot from Florida,” argues that one of the reasons to why its reoccurrences is due to Texas not providing public defender system for the underprivileged defendants, and instead relies upon court appointed attorneys who likely do not have any experience in capital punishment defenses or

Evidence based support for the use of the annotated bibliography as an effective teaching strategy extends beyond the strategy itself into the identification of purpose behind the strategy. As such, research suggests that the annotated bibliography not only increases one’s reading comprehension, but it likewise increases one’s critical thinking skills. Mazella, Heidel and Ke (2011) incorporated the annotated bibliography as the source of data for their study on collaborative teaching as an effective method to merge student reading comprehension and information literacy skills (p. 42). The study subjects not only had to complete two separate annotated bibliographies on three different types of articles, but additionally, they worked in

The second argument Lee makes involves not whether the cost of capital punishment is actually really huge, more than it costs to sentence someone to life without the possibility of parole, but as to why the cost is so high and what should be done about it. Abolitionists of capital punishment always cited as a reason to abolish it all together. But Lee notes that, “They prefer to ignore, however, the extent to which they themselves are responsible for the interminable legal maneuvers that run up the costs…” (144). Lee argues that the major causes of the high cost are the redundant, “endless” appeals, time-consuming delays, bizarre court rulings, and legal histrionics by defense attorneys, after the trial and conviction of the criminal (i.e. post-conviction proceedings). Lee provided several examples of cases that were delayed again and again for various reasons, many with the convicted on death row years before finally being executed. Willie Darden had already survived three death warrants, and had been scheduled to be electrocuted by the state of Florida in September of 1985 for a murder he was convicted of committing back in 1973. Darden’s defense attorney attempted to get the Supreme Court to stay his execution until a formal appeal could be filed, with a last-minute emergency appeal. The court voted against the stay, so his lawyer, attempted to get the court to technically transform his emergency appeal into a formal appeal.

In my peer feedback, I received helpful information to revise and edit my Annotated Bibliography. What I noticed most from both my peer feedbacks is that my APA citations were not accurate. I had completely messed up the doi at the end of each, I needed to fix the capitalization in the titles of the journal articles, and I needed to italicize a couple of the periodical titles. I am thankful for getting that feedback and I made sure to make some changes after becoming aware of the errors. I had initially thought that my APA citations were what I was strong at.
