Johnny Cade did not kill unlawfully and also he can’t apply for a minor committing the crime because he’s 16, one year over the limit. According to Oklahoma law, first-degree murder is a person “unlawfully and with malice aforethought causes the death of another human being.” It is also not manslaughter because it is not a homicide committed without a design to effect death and in the heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon. Johnny did not have time to think and had to stab Bob to save Ponyboy’s life. Ponyboy was being drowned and to save him, Johnny had to commit the act of homicide. It lists that it was a justifiable homicide because it means that homicide is legal when committed in the lawful

“Other kids could play cowboys and Indians and imagine that they’d grow up to be cowboys,” he wrote in his Living Proof autobiography. “I couldn’t do that. I knew that I would never grow up to be a cowboy or a fireman or the president of the United States. I knew I’d grow up to be a singer. That’s all there ever was, the only option, from the beginning.” http://www.hankjr.com/career-biography/

Gary Ridgway was born in salt lake city, Utah as the second of three sons to his parents Mary and Thomas Ridgway. He grew up in an abusive household with a domineering mother who would bully him and belittle him for wetting the bed into his teenage years, and a father who would tell him stories about necrophiliac acts his co workers would commit at his job as a mortician. His school life wasn't that great either. He had an IQ of 82 which caused him to repeat two grades. No one really remembered him. He was the kind of kid that faded into the background and the unnoticed one in school photos. He played football in high school but none of his coaches could even remember what position he played. He was the type of kid who didn’t really stand out. Many of his classmates remembered him as a nice guy, but pretty average. But this was only the side he wanted them to see. Behind the scenes he was a boy who had feeling of anger and sexual attraction towards his mother, and a boy who lead a six-year-old boy to the woods and attempted to murder him when he was only 16. The boy survived and said he remembered Ridgeway walking away laughing and saying “i always wondered what it would be like to kill someone."

Today was the day a man who fled to London with me on the same ship passed away. Thomas Hutchinson, was great man with a vision. He was a businessman, historian, and a politician. The news of his demise made my old memories fresh again. I still remember those days I spent on the place now they called The United States. The war between the English and the Americans began from 1775. King George the third, after defeating the French found his empire very large.

In recent years, there have been many cases of the rich “getting away with murder.” One example that I absolutely love is, Ethan Couch.All at the age of 16, Ethan Couch was driving under the influence of stolen beer cases.
