Courtney White Mrs. Schweitzer CLU 3M December 8 2013 Steven Truscott: Miscarriage of Justice “The only two people that know I am innocent, is myself and the killer.” Imagine being blamed for a crime you did not commit, and nobody would believe you no matter what you said. Steven Truscott had forty-two years of his life taken from him for being charged with a crime he did not commit. He was charged at only the age of fourteen for murdering and raping twelve year old Lynne Harper. He then became the youngest death-row inmate after one of the most famous trials in the history of Canada. Steven Truscott should never have been convicted for the murder and rape of Lynne Harper due to the fact the forensic evidence was questionable the

In this criminal trial, two girls have been arrested and charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide for trying to kill their friend. On May 31, 2014 12 years old Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser lure their 12-year-old friend Payton Leutner to the woods and stabbed her 19 times before abandoning her in the woods until a bicyclist found her body. Leutner was quickly sent to the hospital and was lucky to survive. As investigator investigated the case, it was told by both Weier and Geyser that the reason is to appease a fictional paranormal character Slender Man. Both Weier and Geyser are trail for adult court rather than juvenile court and if they were found guilty for convicting to kill their friend they will be facing up to 35-65 years in jail within the adult court. Both Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser exact charges

In the case of Georgia vs. Schmidt, this is an interesting juvenile case. Lacey Schmidt who was 15 at the time of the attack murdered his 14 year old girlfriend at the time in her Miles Road home. He was charged with theft, possession of a firearm and murder. Lacey is accused of shooting and murdering Alana Calahan by shooting her in the back of the head while inside her home in Harlem Georgia. Lacey was sentenced to life without parole. The crime happened in January of 2011 in the neighborhood of Harlem where Lacey and Alana were from. Lacey was then convicted of malice murder, felony murder while in commission of aggravated assault in February 2011 where he received life in prison without parole. Prosecutors say that Lacey had planned the

Jarrell Milton was initially charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder, but the prosecutors said “that they did not believe Jarrell Milton was the shooter, and his charges were reduced.” The Judge ordered Jarrell to be held at the youth center in secure placement for as of now. The Judge also said “if he was found guilty he would not go to prison, but he would go to a facility known as Boys Town or a rehab center in Kearney and remain under the court’s jurisdiction until the age of 19.” As for the Jamar and Shuntayvious Primes-Willis they were both charged as adults with first-degree murder. Jamar’s attorney requested that his case be moved to juvenile court, but his request got denied mostly because of his age. Primes-Willis also made

Currently if a D aged 18 or over is convicted of murder, the judge must pass a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. For offenders aged 10-17 found guilty of murder, the judge must order that they are detained at Her Majesty’s Pleasure. The fact the sentencing is mandatory and the judge has no discretion leaves a lack of ability to sentence according to blameworthiness, unlike all other offences which have discretion in sentencing; Gotts. This lack of differentiation between blameworthiness is further emphasised by the Government’s sentencing guidelines laid down in the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Under this act in cases of murders of police officers or murders involving firearms D should receive a 30 year sentence. However, in cases like that of Martin (Anthony) such a sentence would appear unjust.

Never being able to see your friends and family seems like something unimaginable but for Morris Kent because of his own actions has to live in a nightmare for the rest of his life. Morris Kent was arrested at the age of 16 for 3 counts of robbery, 3 counts of home robberies and worst of all 2 counts of rape. Because of the severity of the crimes the prosecutor moved to try morris as an adult as the punishment would be more severe, but morris’s lawyer didn’t want to have Morris tried as an adult so he planned to argue that Morris had a “mental illness” so the case would stay in juvenile court but in the end the judges ruled against Morris and for the prosecutor. As a result Kent’s punishment was more severe at a sentence of 30 to 90 years in prison but Morris not agreeing with the decision the judges had made Morris appealed stating that the case should have stayed in juvenile court but as the judges didn’t feel the same way about the case they ruled

The Facts: A judge out of a New York Family court found 12-year old Winship (Defendant) had committed an act of stealing money from a pocketbook in a locker that if it had been committed by an adult it would have been a crime. But due to it being a 12-year old, the judge relying on a preponderance of the evidence, the standard of proof required by the New York Family Court Act, led the way of giving good reason that justified the fact that a young person did the crime that he was charged with. Winship had to dealt with a finding like this had to be based on proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This decision was supported by the New York Court of Appeals and sustained the constitutional, but Winship was granted a review by the United States Supreme Court.

The accused, Brady Lorenz, age 18, has a known past relating to anger issues, and has been convicted of assault once before the events of this case had taken place.

Sheraz Ahmad VA/US Government Mouser 26 April 2018 Roper v. Simmons The case of Roper v. Simmons began when a minor, aged seventeen, named Christopher Simmons had commited murder. Simmons was only a junior in high school when he had committed the murder (Kennedy). He discussed everything with his fellow students named Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer prior to the murder (Kennedy). Simmons suggested to commit burglary and murder the victim, Shirley Crook, by breaking into her house (Kennedy). The very next day, early in the morning at 2 A.M., they had met outside of Shirley’s house (Kennedy). Tessmer had double thoughts and he left before the other two went to commit the crime (Kennedy). Simmons and Benjamin entered the victim's home by reaching through an open window and unlocking the back door (Kennedy). As they entered, Simmons turned on the hallway light (Kennedy). This disruption would awaken Mrs. Crook. She had called out for prencen in her home, saying, “ Who’s there?” (Kennedy). Answering her, Simmons entered her bedroom. He had recognized her from a car accident that both of them were involved in (Kennedy). Simmons proceeded to use duct tape to cover her mouth and eyes and also bound her hands. later on Simmons and Charles put Mrs. Crook in her minivan and drove her to a state park

After recently watching the heartbreaking documentary “Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About his Father” on Netflix, this particular petition on change.org stood out to me. In the documentary I saw on Netflix it shows how baby Zachary was let down by Canada’s inadequate justice system due to a poor, and unbelievably stupid decision made by Judge Gail Welsh. In the wake of committing a premeditated murder against young Zachary’s father, Dr. Shirley Turner was provided help on how to appeal her imprisonment, and was released shortly after by Judge Welsh. Judge Welsh’s ruling stated that because her crime wasn’t “directed at the public at large” (Kurzweil, 2015) he didn’t see the potential harm that she posed to the general public. Later that year, Dr. Turner drowned both herself, and innocent thirteen-month-old Zachary. In a like manner, I believe that Judge M. Marc Kelly’s ruling on this particular case, explained in the petition, was cruel and unsympathetic. Although these cases aren’t extremely similar to each other, I trust that the rights of young children need to be protected.

Tefik and Kristen are the only employees of the bar and they were both working on the night of the occurrence. Kristen and Tefik recalled the plaintiff entering the bar through the east door. She was with two or three other females. Kirsten served them and they all ordered beers, the plaintiff a Bud Light or Miller Lite. One of her friends paid for the entire round. Kristen sat at that third barstool from the east end of the bar. She was there for only 10 to 15 minutes and drank approximately two inches of her beer. She did not appear intoxicated at that time, but Kristen recalled her dancing at her seat, singing and being loud in general. The plaintiff’s friends left a few minutes before her and neither Tefik nor Kirsten saw the plaintiff
