Bradley Jones Case

Between 1979 and 1981, Wayne Williams of Atlanta, Georgia, was accused of the murder of over 20 children but was convicted of the murder of two adults. The victim had officers that were an identical match to the fibers in Williams home and his vehicle. The case was called the Atlanta Child Murders, in which Williams was arrested. Williams was believed to be responsible for the murder involving two adults because of the evidence, but not any of the children. The evidence also proves that Williams is the culprit behind the children murders but the doubt was too compelling to be prosecuted any further. There were law enforcement officers who testified to hearing a slash near the

Marvin Anderson is a man who was falsely accused of abduction, rape, robbery, and sodomy. This is his story. On July 17, 1982, a young woman was raped by a black man whom she said was a total stranger. After she reported the crime, a police officer singled out Anderson as a suspect because the perpetrator had told the victim that he “had a white girl,” and Anderson was the only black man the officer knew who lived with a white woman. Because Anderson had no criminal record, the officer went to Anderson’s employer and obtained a color employment photo identification card. The victim was shown the color identification card, along with six black-and-white mug shots, and identified Anderson as her assailant. Within an

NFL players have finally gone against the NFL corporation. This specific argument went to court saying that head trauma was never in the professional athlete's settlement. Hurley explains “That the settlement did not cover potential victims of a degenerative brain disease that scientists have linked to repeated blows to the head” (Hurley) Professional players are still not agreeing with the NFL and the rules about the concussions. There have been many professional football players who have brought up the argument of concussions with the NFL and they have not won. Despite that, the court argument with Siegel went in the professional athlete's way. Later on, Siegel announced that "Forty-five hundred players sued the league over concussion-related injuries" ("Concussion Dispute") These athletes that have brought this argument back up having thought this was unfair to them. Through the findings and the explanations about the NFL settlement with their athlete's there should be a change to their settlement to be in more favor of the athlete's life since it is at risk. With these risks at state there are many experts trying to fix these

A condition named the Second Impact Syndrome was identified in 1973. The condition was said to occur when an athlete receives a concussion while still suffering from a previous one. In 2013, the Journal of Neurosurgery stated that this condition carried a 90% mortality rate (“A Timeline of Concussion Science and NFL Denial”).

In Conclusion, since the past season of the National Football League, helmet to helmet hits have raised so much controversy. Although some players and fans see the enforcement and strict discipline on these hits as weak and ill thought out, it is a much needed and important step in the right direction. The NFL has the responsibility to protect its players, to set an example for younger players, and to maintain a good reputation. With the current research regarding head injuries and concussions, and the change in the athleticism in players, it has grown especially more important to regulate play and enforce rules that are in the best interest of the player. The new enforcement of rules considering helmet to helmet hits, now a positive initial step to preventing concussions and head trauma. Therefore, with this step the NFL, taking responsibility for the safety of all football players and doing

My article covers the very important impact that sports and concussions have on an individual and their families. Head injuries are a very serious problem as described in this article, and to make sure that this problem is understood, we must educate our coaches, and athletes as well as parents, of signs of concussions and head trauma. Throughout this paper I’m going to summarize the article, and then approach it from the stand point of whether or not I agree with what the author is saying, or if I disagree with what the author is saying.

Football is a dangerous sport to play it because of many injuries. About 212,000 children are sent to the emergency rooms because of all the injuries they had received, all the concussions and some injuries that can scar you for life and probably can end your sports career. 13- year old Isaiah kahut was at a football camp preparing for his first season as a running back for skyview High school in Vancouver, Washington. The second day of camp his plans came crushing down around him, he was running with the ball when he was tackled. His head smacked the turf hard; The moment he got up he knew something wasn’t right.

Chicago police believe a teenage gang member shot and killed four men at a South Side restaurant last week to avenge the fatal shooting of his father a few blocks away the previous night.

“Houston cornerback Kareem Jackson was fined $42,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee wide receiver Kendall Wright.” That is a statement made often by the National Football League (NFL) committee in light of the frequent occurrences of concussions. The NFL, America’s most popular sport, has constant issues with concussions. It is an important trending topic, which involves the players and the NFL committee. Over the past decades, former players are trying to sue the NFL after being diagnosed with diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Fines, new rules, and suspensions are being put into effect to avoid head-to-head collisions. I argue that the NFL committee has greatly improved

The majority further bolsters its reasoning, noting that many fans prefer seats without netting, and that the field owners have a legitimate interest leaving certain areas uncovered. New Jersey Baseball Spectator Safety Act of 2006 sets forth a nearly identical rule, however, the Baseball Rule is codified legislatively, rather than as a legal precedent as it is in New York. The law’s authors state that their intent is to keep baseball ticket prices affordable by limiting owners’ liability. The law presumes that spectators are aware of the risks with attending a baseball game and bars suit of baseball field owners, unless owners fail to provide sufficient covered seating “in the most dangerous sections of the stands…behind home plate,” or fail to post warning signs in non-protected areas.

I think Blu Williams’ approach to the label was perfect. As he said sometimes you have to go in swinger harder than them, not every day but there are certain days. The fact that Outkast had never heard the clean version until the artist signing at the store, is just another way of the record label flexing its muscles and trying to push everyone around. He is clearly standing up for his artist and telling the label that he has had enough of them going behind his back. It may seem like he is stepping out of bounds, but this type of approach and go big or go home attitude has what has earned Blu Williams the respect and admiration in the music business.

Thankfully, according to the article, the officials did contain all these fans that were acting out. But there shouldn’t have even been an opportunity for these fans to have access to performing this action. As an event planner, I would never undervalue my guests for an event and be prepared for the worst but hope for the best. This crowd control difficulty was a major safety issue that initiated from the poor planning from ticket sales. If there was a pre registration for this free event then officials could have predicted and planned more adequately in regards to the amount of security to have on board for the duration of the event. As a bonus for taking the time out to preregister, those attendees will be mailed a complimentary t-shirt prior to the event for their assistance in helping making the event a safer, more enjoyable celebration. I enjoyed that the planners took into account the seriousness of crowd control and strategically brainstormed with the idea of be proving physical tickets for people that attend this occasion. In addition, for the tragedy of the fifteen year old that was stabbed, this will be an incident a little more difficult to contain. Again, more security will be needed in order to diffuse situations as severe as these or lesser such as verbal or

A potential problem with this strategy is with a large, non targeted marketing push, 75% of audience the company would be targeting is not purchasing paint. Based on the company’s standard of recovering the costs within a year, if the company doubles its advertising costs, sales should show a significant increase and there is no guarantee of this.

Successful in maintaining margins even with increased research and development, material and labor costs, but could be approaching the threshold on prices.
