Drug Dealer Case

The Stephens were very inviting and let the officers come inside, and even offered them food as they searched the house. As the officers were completing their search of the house, the found an old, rusted axe sitting against the garage door. The Stephens used their garage, so the axe had to be put there after the last time they used the garage, as it would be knocked over if the garage was opened. They also noticed that around the edge of the blade, there was no rust, as if someone had scraped the rust off, or had cleaned the axe. It seemed to be the obvious murder weapon, but the officers wanted to investigate further before they made any accusations or arrests.

I can’t speak for the entire State of Texas but Travis County drug court is making a positive impact on offenders’ lives. Two judges who manage Travis County’s drug court are directing addicts into a court supervised treatment program instead of incarceration. Drug courts like the one in Travis County have successfully handled nonaggressive defendants with drug and alcohol addictions. People who complete drug court programs rarely fall back into substance abuse. Per four drug-court judges surveyed, about 10 percent of program graduates commit new crimes. That’s a recidivism rate of one-fifth that of traditional probation programs. Which shows drug courts can ease the strain on congested penitentiaries and save taxpayer money. A study done by

Investigator Sam Reilly will also be called to testify, in that he was the first investigator on the scene. Shortly after the murder, Officer Reilly went to the defendant’s home at 2435 Damen Street, apt #2B and forced down Mr. John Hudsons’ and Dale Buckner’s door. While at the apartment, Officer Reilly Recovered a .38 revolver (matching the gun from the crime scene), a black leather jacket, and a newly registered Black Cadillac Sedan; which matched the description of the getaway car. Due to officer Reilly’s work, pertinent details of the defendant’s background and belongings have been brought to trial and will help us prove that the defendants did, beyond a reasonable doubt murder, and assist in murdering Mrs. Sara Lazar. Upon arrest, the defendant’s both refused to make a statement concerning the killing of Mrs. Lazar.

Doris at age of 19 was a drug dealer and got arrested for selling $200 worth of heroin to an undercover police officer in 1974 in Michigan.

Does the sound of the city ring a bell as a place filled with violence and gruesome stories? That’s what I have always noticed with the reports involving the city of Oakland. To news media everything has to have just the right amount of darkness to it in order for that news channel to have a good amount of viewers. Like it or not we all have that little dark side within us that is more curious and interested to see something terrible happen in news reports; because for some reason it’s entertaining to us. During my critical thinking class with my professor Larry Salomon, I learned that this is why most news channels like to show gruesome and tragic stories more often, because we as human beings find some sort of interest and satisfaction hearing about these stories; and this makes work for news channels more easier to gain more viewers. Some people are more eager to learn about a tragic story unlike the other reports that have a more hopeful and cheerful description. How is this linked to violence in Oakland? News reporters know that Oakland is the place to go when you need a story that will help you get viewers. I have talked to some residents in my community of Oakland and they stated that they were tired of being the notebook of bad stories to be told on live television; the only reason why violence seems to continue in this community is because reporters always point the finger at the city as being a place filled with

South Street Philadelphia’s sidewalk’s safety is not determined by the strangers shuffling in and out of the area, but instead by the local residents and community members who live there. Based on my personal observations, the biggest asset to South Street in regard to safety and overall quality of the area are the locals who reside there. This idea of community investment relating to the safety of a street is presented in Jane Jacob’s novel The Death and Life of Great American Cities and is one of her ideas that is accurately displayed throughout South Street. By examining the various ways people interact in different areas and shops on South Street, I was able to evaluate what aspects of her writing proved to be beneficial to the overall safety of the area.

Hardly a day goes by where a murder doesn’t occur. Usually, it is in a big city, such as Chicago, but sometimes it happens in a small town, maybe even not far from you. As we see a small town called New Baltimore located just outside of Detroit, not much seemed to happen in this small town...until someone murdered Justin Mello. This event leads to a shattered town with a reminder to us all, life is just a vapor, we can never be promised another day.

I believe that drug court is the best option for people trying to recover from using drugs. The drug court provides a safe place for people who is trying to recover. Drug courts are there to keep the people away from drugs and the people that do them still so they can get their life put together again. People are in for a minimum of 18 months for people who have felony convictions, but it takes atlas 22 to 25 months to finish the program.

The Players in the Cocaine Game: An investigative look at the dealers, suppliers, and enforcers

When facing criminal drug charges, there is nothing more indispensable than a criminal drug attorney. The legal consequences in these types of criminal cases can be grave. A drugs attorney is absolutely necessary to help a defendant through the complex legal landscape that is to follow. It is important to note, though, that not all attorneys are the same and that it is important to be careful when choosing a lawyer. There are certain key factors to look for in a drug attorney search that any competent criminal drug attorney will have.

We found a 40 caliber at the house that matched the casings from the scene, we diagramed the location and the condition as well as photographed before recovering and securing. I examined to see if the weapon was loaded and it was not. I marked the position of the cylinder, using two pen marks I put on the top of the cylinder alone each side of the top strap of the frame. I noted the loaded casings found in the box of ammunition in the field notes. It was then bagged and sent to the lab.

The balloons were sent to Black Mesa labs for processing, and 100% of the balloons sent in by Sandia Casino Police Department forensics professionals were found to contain nitrous oxide.

No immediate suspects were apparent and a tip line with a $8,000.00 reward was initiated. The murder weapon would later be recovered and turned over to authorities by a citizen that had picked it up from the side of the road; a folding lock blade knife with the appearance of blood on the blade.

I have always loved suspenseful whodunit television shows, movies, and books that use forensic science to crack the cases. My favorite television show is The First 48, my favorite movie is The Silence of the Lambs, and my favorite book is The Body Farm. Therefore, I was excited to have the opportunity to take this course and learn even more about the subject of forensics. This essay gives a summary of N. E. Genge’s book, The Forensic Casebook: The Science of Crime Scene Investigation, and includes the things I disliked and liked about the book.

While analyzing this evidence, several units in the crime laboratory will be used like: the document unit, firearms unit, latent fingerprint unit, and biology unit. The document unit will be used for the note found on the crime scene that the victim wrote, it could be analyzed to see if it was legitimately the victims writing or if someone else wrote the note to cover up the murder and make it look like a suicide. The firearms unit will help figure out if that was the murder/suicide weapon. The latent fingerprint unit will try to find a match on the faint fingerprints found on the revolver, whether they belong to the victim, the owner of the gun, or someone else who shot the gun itself. If they cannot find a match they will try to reconstruct the fingerprints to possibly find a close match.
