Dylann Storm Roof Case

The Groveland Four Boys were beyond any doubt innocent. But the KKK was so scared of racial integration. Because a young white woman was accusing them of rape they thought they had a case. Although only three were on trial, Ernest Thomas, was running away for fear of being murdered when he was shot by Willis McCall, the merciless Lake County sheriff, and by chance became the fourth boy. Two of the boys were not even in the area of the “rape”. McCall was a notorious violent racist who abused his power as sheriff. He beat confessions out of the Groveland boys. Although the facts clearly freed the boys of the crime, it would never matter when it came to the matter of blacks and whites. When a white female accused a black male of taking her innocence the fear grew even stronger for the white supremacists. The KKK burned the innocent Groveland boy’s homes. And although mobs wanted to take the boys away and lynch them immediately, McCall “saves them” from the mobs, only to take matters into his own hands. Evidence is tampered with, false evidence is displayed, and the case is unbelievably hard to take in as a reader. McCall

Behind cold steel bars in a lonely cage, however able to relate to other prisoners who have faith for the future. The Monster masterpiece by Walter Dean Myers puts Steve Harmon—a sixteen year old black kid in jail—on the hot seat for the crime of robbery and felony murder of an innocent man named Mr. Nesbitt. On trial are two men--Steve Harmon and James King—that not only have a chance to be given a minimum sentence of 21 years and 3 months but a maximum sentence of life in jail. While being called a Monster by the prosecutor, Mrs. Petrocelli. this dark time for Harmon results in having no true place to escape where only doubt runs through his mind. However, the progression that Harmon makes, not only in jail but during the trial with his defense attorney, Miss O’Brien, allows us to understand that during many situations, doubt and hope intertwine.

Instead of starting a new life and trying to do good, Charles Manson turned back to his life of crime to make a living. Before his own eyes, Manson was become his mother Kathleen and acting out. Manson robbed a grocery store, stole multiple things, and got involved with the wrong crowd of people. Soon enough he was arrested for stealing a bike and stood in front of a judge. The judge declared that he cannot be off on his own and had to get in contact with his mother. Kathleen told the judge once again that she couldn’t take care of him except this time the judge was sympathetic. Knowing how hard it was for Charles Manson to fit in at the last reform school, he decided to send him to Father Flanagan’s Boys Town. After only a couple of days, Manson and another kid ran away from this new place. Together the two of them went on a bunch of crime sprees including wrecking a car. Eventually the two young boys got caught and this time the judge wasn’t sympathetic. Kathleen had no say at this point and Charles was put into the Indianapolis Juvenile Home. Just like before, Manson escaped and this time brought numerous juveniles along with him. He went straight to stealing a car and was back in custody less than two hours later. The Indianapolis justice system was fed up with Manson’s antics and he landed himself a one way ticket to the county jail. In only 12 short years, Charles Manson had managed

Bell witnesses the progression of evil around his own county and the way things have taken a turn for the worse when he says: “This county has not had a unsolved homicide in forty-one years. Now we got nine of em in one week” (216).

From a distance, he seemed normal but then as he approached I noticed that he was not wearing any clothes. I dropped the gas pump and got in my car and locked all the doors. He didn’t seem like he wanted to hurt anyone but he was crazy I could tell. He walked by spitting on the ground, I had no clue on his intent nor did I want to find out.” The man was claimed to be declared mentally unstable. Another witness, Jerold Topping said his encounter with the thief was brief but bold. Jerold says he shouted at the man saying “Hey, what are you doing? F**k off away from my lorry.” Jerold claims the thief was hiding in a bush just watching, but Jerold did not know what he was watching. Jerold said that he saw police lights flashing down the hill, so he made the connection that this naked man in the bush was running from the law. Jerold also made a comment saying “The man seemed as if he was scared and lost, almost like a lost baby. Helpless and scared.” After Jerold shewed off the thief he never saw him ever again. The last sighting was thought of being on the campus of Corpus Christi, Samuel Anderson repeats his events with the

Rony Ortiz lived in 502 east 39th street, an old 3 bedroom house with some lawn and skunks. It was a sunny, summer day in the streets of Paterson New Jersey. Everybody was outside playing, dancing, some folks were really just sitting there. Enjoying the breeze as the week before it had been nothing but rain, but speaking of the devil, here it was. At about 3:00 pm it started drizzling but Rony didn’t really care too much about getting wet. He really just wanted some play time after being grounded for a school fight weeks ago. He persuaded his friends into staying out also and going to the school football field.

In the Outlook of August, 1908, Harry Hall, treasurer of the Berkshire Industrial Farm, tells of a boy of twelve who had been convicted six times of what would be considered serious offenses in the case of an adult, the first conviction having been when he was only seven years old. He speaks of a lad who, on being sentenced to state prison, said to the judge: " I want to say that when I first went to the House of Refuge I was a good boy; when I came out I was a burglar." Unless we miss our guess this boy still had in him the soul of a militant reformer, who was not afraid to speak out for the public good. (Blake, 2008)

The day flew by and before I knew it, I was on my way to the library. My history teacher had assigned us a town history project, and I was determined to get some of the research done before football practice that night. The library was not one of my most cherished places to be. But i knew i had to get stuff done, so at the library, I headed straight for the history section, the familiar maroon carpet muffling my footsteps as I walk down the aisle. I reached the section where the library archives all of the old town newspapers from past years. Shuffling through the worn, yellowing pages, I grabbed a couple of random newspapers and brought them to a table so I could start my research. The articles were mostly the same: tree planting, speeches given by the mayor, and charity work, but nothing that would make for an interesting project. Frustrated, I flipped through more pages until one headline caught my eye: “MISSING CHILD”. Curious, I read the article and discovered that a little boy, Daniel Harding (6) had been kidnapped from his home in a near by city. I skimmed through the rest of the article until my eyes rested on the photo at the bottom of the page. My heart nearly skipped a beat as I recognized the face. It was me.
