This article is about a man who murdered a store clerk in 1984 in Huntsville, Alabama. This case went through the Alabama Supreme Court and the vote was 7 to 12 not to execute him by capital punishment. However Alabama is the only state in the United States where a murder case can go to the Supreme Court and be voted on there as well. Four of the eight justices decided to let his execution stand. This vote seemed a little peculiar however due to the fact that the United States only has eight court justices at this time. The lack of the fifth deciding vote makes the decision a little harder. This article also explains past situations where the courtesy fifth vote is not present. This article talks about a case that happened previously on transgender rights.

I was born in Plano, Texas, with a condition called Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, also known as clubfoot. Clubfoot caused my right foot to be rotated internally at the ankle. After surgery corrected my ankle, and although one of my feet was smaller than the other, I was able to have a healthy childhood and to play sports with no issues. As a result, of my condition and the care that I received from my doctors, I began to develop a great passion and appreciation for medicine and science. This lead me to Murfreesboro, TN where I volunteered at a summer camp for children with mental and physical disabilities, called Camp Ability. Many of the children there had little options for treatment, either it was too expensive for them to receive or the

Many events have happened in my life but the one that impacted me the most was when I went to San Jose California for Nationals. This was a tournament for TaeKwonDo and it wasn't any other type of tournament because here you have an opportunity to join the national team of the United States if you win. Also people all over the United States that come to Nationals are great fighters. Before this tournament I didn't really take this sport that seriously because I never thought that i'll make it as far as I am today. After Nationals I realized that I should put more work into TaeKwonDo because I want to go to the Olympics someday when I get older. This event has made me realize that there is more to TaeKwonDo then I expected.

I have been taking care of my younger sister Mackayla since I was 10 years old. We have a seven year age difference, and my mom often tells me that I am like a third parent to her. Both of our parents work long hours so most of the time it is just me and her at home, except on weekends. Most children see summer as a time to go out with friends and to the beach and amusement parks, etc. My summers ever since I was 10 years old have consisted of watching Mackayla. Our days would consist of waking up early to watch "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" on NBC, in which Mackayla would always sing along to the theme song, making breakfast for her and I, making sure she brushed her teeth, washed her face. I would also work hard to keep her entertained for
