We are here today to hear about the case of this individual. David Madando better know as Tsotsi. David Madando is innocent in many ways, The defenders proposed we are here is because although this young man is innocent, have to be punished for some things that he did in the past few years.
To begin with, Mr. Madondo is innocent because he acts unconsciously. Incidentally, he beat up Boston one of his friends and then he runs away. He acts with fear because when he beat up Boston he ran away. In weakness this prove that, “He broke his fist into his nose, and then his ear” (Fugard 26). He acts like that because of the way he grew up, because of this he don't know anything about his past, and Boston was questioning him. However, he later realized that he doesn't have to kill anyone, with this in mind, he realized that he cannot decide if someone have to live or have to die. In (Fugard 114). Tsotsi said, “I don't have to do! This meant nothing to Morris until the young man said it again.” This means that he has a feeling when he was just about to kill someone just because he was ugly. Also this shows that he started to think about his actions and change his point of view life.

David, the youngest was given away at the age of two. When his new family, the McDaniels took a look at him for the first time, he had a series amount of bed bug bites all over his body. Although he was raised in a very religious enviroment he still would visit his siblings ruth and milton and untie them from the barn everytime he would go back to his home.

Mr. Chiu wanted revenge on the police, but he did not have a strategic plan. Once he saw the tea stand, his mind started to form his plot of revenge. Mr. Chiu made his way to numerous restaurants in close proximity to the police station, infecting as many people as possible with hepatitis. His plan of revenge, however, affected the lives of innocent people as well as children, who had nothing to do with the injustices of what had occurred in the police station. Montresor planned his revenge and meticulously put each detail into place. Montresor made sure “there was no one home” for he had “told the servants that they must not leave the palace” (Poe 2). However, he knew that the servants would disobey him and that “they would all leave as soon as my back was turned” (Poe 2). The wall in the wine cellar that was once built was taken down so that Montresor could leave Fortunato to die without the concern of people hearing him. Montresor deliberately caused the death of the one he sought his revenge on. Unlike Mr. Chiu, who with his anger and animosity for the police affected the lives of innocent people rather than the intended victims of his revenge. When Mr. Chiu achieved his revenge and hurt innocent people, he did not have a guilty conscience. In contrast, when Montresor planned and killed Fortunato, his “heart grew sick” and he hurriedly finished closing Fortunato in the wall (Poe 5). Therefore, showing that he had a guilty
Why Pedro Hernandez Is Guilty? “So many false leads, so many blind alleys”. So many years have gone by. Now I know what the face of evil looks like, and he’s finally convicted.” At a news conference after Etan Patz's trial was over, his father told the reporters that he could now know the face of the man who killed his son and that his family could rest knowing Justice was served for their son.
Martí follows the several key trials that he believes provide evidence for the government’s need to accept responsibility for what is done by its citizens. In, “The trial of Guiteau,” the reader learns about Charles J. Guiteau who was convicted in the killing of President Garfield. In this essay, Martí is adamant about ensuring that no one forgives the convicted murderer for his deed. In one sentence Martí states, “He does not arouse pity; he does not arouse forgiveness; he arouses no desire to excuse him” and goes on to say, “There is no place for him in men’s hearts, only in their hatred” (95). Yet, the irony of his statements becomes evident through the sentence immediately following the latter when Martí explains that “Reason demands that his [the convicted murderer] life be spared” because he believes that “killing the monster is inadequate way of ending power’s nature to grow monsters…” (95). Thus, while Martí strongly believes that no forgiveness should be shown to Guiteau, he still believes that Guiteau deserves to live because his execution would not change the reason why it happened. Instead, Martí believes that only the government can prevent what happened by changing what caused it. Moreover, it could be loosely said that he does not believe the Guiteau is responsible for the death of the president; instead he believes that the government under which Guiteau lived is responsible. Ultimately, Martí
Due to these horrific reasons, and the fact that no innocent man should be murdered for non-harmful actions, I find Mr. Montresor guilty.
Adnan Syed is innocent. I believe this because one, everyone says things that don’t make sense or don’t add up. Two, how could Adnan do this if he cared for Hae as much as he says he does? Three, every time it seems like the blame should fall on Adnan, people doubt that he’s not the one to blame. First, Adnan Syed is innocent in my eyes because all of his witnesses say different things and things that don’t add up. For example, almost all of the witnesses said a lot of “he was probably there”, and “from what I can recall”. Next, Adnan cares and wants the best for Hae, so why would he kill her? Adnan stated that he just wanted her to be happy that’s all he cared about, does that sound like a murder to you? Lastly, there’s too much doubt on
At the age of 5 years old, not only did he began to take showers with his father, but when they went to the beach club, his mother bathed him in the shower in the presence of other naked women. By the age of 6 years old, David noticed the power men had over women, “when a male entered the women’s side of the bathhouse, all the women shrieked”. (Gale Biography).

A few months later he ran into a wall and again suffered head injuries. Then he was hit in the head with a pipe and received a four inch gash in the forehead. Believing his natural mother died while giving birth to him was the source of intense guilt, and anger inside David. His size and appearance did not help matters. He was larger than most kids his age and not particularly attractive, which he was teased by his classmates. His parents were not social people, and David followed in that path, developing a reputation for being a loner. At the age of 14 years old David became very depressed after his adoptive mother Pearl, died from breast cancer. He viewed his mother’s death as a monster plot designed to destroy him. (Gale Biography). He began to fail in school and began an infatuation with petty larceny and pyromania. He sets fires,

Reginald Rose’s ’12 Angry Men’ brings 12 jurors together in a room to decide whether a young foreign boy is guilty of killing his father. The play is interwoven with dynamic characterisation, striking symbolism and intense moments of drama. Although Rose positions Juror 8 as the hero, the strongest character is in fact Juror 4, who is an independent thinker, rational and calm even as tension begins to build. Although Juror 4 initially votes guilty, he is able to admit his fault and change his vote.

A lot of people wonder if Adnan Syed is guilty or innocent, today as a legal assistant I'm going to tell you one important reason why he is innocent. Adnan is not guilty because there is another potential suspect like Jay. Jay's story that "proves" Adnan's guilt, has changed every interview and testimony. Jay had intimate knowledge of the crime he knew things, like if he knew every single thing that Adnan was thinking about which makes everything looked suspicious. Also Jay's stories don't quite match Adnan's cell records.

Throughout Shakespeare?s play, Hamlet, the main character, young Hamlet, is faced with the responsibility of attaining vengeance for his father?s murder.

As the play progresses, his depiction of a madman becomes increasingly believable, and the characters around him react accordingly.

As a friend of Romeo’s, Mercutio supports the Montague’s in the ancient feud. An example of Mercutio defending the Montague’s is when Tybalt, a member of the loathed Capulet family, abuses Romeo and Mercutio intervenes on Romeo’s behalf. Attempting to restore peace, Romeo gets between the two combatants and Mercutio “hath got his mortal hurt” (Page 149; Act 3, Scene 1) on Romeo’s account. In spite of his “life shall pay the forfeit of peace” (page 17; Act 1, Scene 1), Romeo seeks revenge on Tybalt as he loves his murdered friend.
