John Dassey's Making Of A Murderer

Since the prosecution was seeking the death penalty they needed to show that the crime was intentionally with ill intentions. Their basis was Casey killed her daughter to be free from duties as a parent and murdered her. A testimony from a

The questionable forensic evidence, the untrustworthy witnesses and the insufficient investigation are all reasons why Steven Truscott should never have been charged with the rape and murder of Lynne Harper. Being charged with something you did not commit is something nobody wants to go through. Evidence, witnesses and the investigation portion is very important for a case to run correctly. It took Steven Truscott 42 years to finally get his name cleared. He went through many trials and hearings to finally get the news one day that he was free to go. Most of his life was taken from him that he will never get back. “They finally got it right after all these years. I am so used to fighting. Now we don’t have to fight anymore.”

After going over the evidence, I believe that James Broadnax is guilty on two counts of first degree murder. It was difficult to keep a level-head throughout the reports and transcripts due to the nature of the crime. I felt myself growing angry at certain evidence being brought up in court such as the deceased being killed execution style. The evidence all pointed to James Broadnax and, in my mind, fulfilled the standard of evidence for his conviction.

After analyzing prior situations and keeping in mind the perspective of novel, Clare’s killer has an obvious answer. Clare’s husband poses no real danger to Clare when he comes bursting into the party. Jack is outnumbered by the many black men in the room. They can easily prevent him from getting near Clare. He has only appeared up to three times in the novel. Every other time he is only mentioned in passing. If he was Clare’s killer he would been brought up more. Jack is also quiet a distance away from Clare as he is at the entrance while she is on the other side of the room. Clare would not have committed suicide because, she is not upset. She eventually wanted out of her marriage and her husband finding out her true racial heritage is the perfect way out. She smiles also seeing no danger in the situation. Brian did not kill Claire because like Jack, he is on the other side of the room amongst a throng of people at the entrance. There is no motivation as there is no affair. Irene even said she had no proof of infidelity

It is almost impossible for justice to be served when the trail was a mess. There was a 12 hour police interrogation of Jessie Misskelley. He is intellectually disabled, causing him to give a false confession. The police should have known the psychology of false confession and shouldn't have interrogated Mr. Misskelley for 12 hours. The sentences were based on hearsay testimony of witnesses who heard the boys talk about the murders: “...the defendant had been motivated as members of a satanic cult” (Robertson 4). Hearsay doesn't prove anything in the court of law. The jury is supposed to know nothing about the case; but of course one juror already had his mind set on his conviction. This juror

At the time of the case Bromgard was an 18 year old man that was asked to participate in a lineup because he had similar looks to the attacker that was described by the victim. According to the victim she was not sure Bromgard was the attacker, “The girl picked Bromgard out of a lineup, though she was only 60 to 65 percent sure. She said only one person was involved in the attack” (Possley). This is important because it makes the case easier because they only need to find one guilty suspect that committed the crime.

Although JR was given the maximum sentence possible under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, many argue that this sentence was far too lenient (Remington & Zickefoose, 2010). In spite of her actions JR’s identity remains protected by Canadian law and, in addition, her criminal record may be cleared if she remains incident free. On the morning of April 23rd, JR acted alongside Jeremy Steinke with full intention, full awareness and full knowledge of the severity of her actions. In addition to her maximum sentence that is allowed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, JR’s criminal record should remain permanent, and she should receive lifelong psychological treatment not only to punish and incapacitate her, but to rehabilitate her to the best of our abilities, while still protecting

The case was on the sexual assault and battery on his younger sister, who was 23 months old at the time, while James was 15. Many sources, such as Independent Co., believe that James’ case should of been held in an adult court, due to the severity of it. Despite this argument, it is absolutely critical to understand that although a teenager should have the common sense to know that commiting crimes is a bad thing, the human brain is not fully developed until we are about 25 years of age. Next, the News Tribune states that the case of James Prindle should of been chosen by the court on whether or not it was a juvenile case, or an adult case. Multiple sources claim that although the crime was very severe, since Prindle is still a child, he does not have the brain capacity to know right from wrong, so he should not of been tried as an adult.

Leanne Tiernan was born in September of 1984 and was the younger of two girls. Although her parents had separated, she had a close family and was a happy and content child. In 2000, Leanne lived with her mother and sister in the Bramley district in west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Bramley is an area that’s mainly residential, one with lots of history, local culture, and a strong local community.

They talked to Brendan on several different occasions, even pulling him out of school to talk to him, and didn’t make any effort to make any contact with his mom during any of those times. At first, he also didn't have the option to have an attorney and that is another one of his rights that they did not follow. Then, while they were interviewing Brendan each time they were basically making him say what they wanted to hear. Brendan would say one thing then the people interviewing him would say something else and keep saying it until Brendan agreed with it. They talked him into saying that he had a part in the crime even though he said they didn't. Brendan just agreed so he could be left alone and could get out of their quicker. I personally don’t agree with any of the things that happened. The people interviewing him went against most of Brendan's rights and I think Brendan is innocent. I think if he gets the option for another trial that he will now be found innocent and

After viewing the Making of a murderer series i believe that Brendan Dassey should not have been tried for murdering Teresa Halbach. He was a 16 year old boy who out of nowhere got asked to come over to his uncle’s house and he saw things he probably shouldn’t have. If you were that age and you got asked about murdering someone what would you do? Do you think he should have been tried for murder?

I will evaluate the murder of Jones. I will talk about how Jason was convicted of murder in the second degree and got six years in prison. I will analyze and discuss the damaging effects of corruption on law enforcement by relating the issue of murder to the arrest of a law enforcement officer for a high – profile crime – property, violent, or white collar. I will explain how a officer 's choice and behavior can affect an entire law enforcement agency. I will explain how the choice can also affect the reputation of the community, finding of the agency, and other community or criminal justice-related issues. I will discuss how the legislature defines criminal behavior and how money influences every decision they make for the criminal justice system daily functions. I will suggest a plan on how Centervale 's criminal justice professionals can help to bridge the gap between legislature and the citizens by bringing more awareness about legislature that might affect them before it is signed into law (that is, public safety legislation, and crime control legislation). I will support my position on the early release of violent offenders from prison with criminal justice, research on recidivism and other pertinent topics, such as budgetary constraints. I will also talk about the " fear of crime " that citizens have brought to the Mayor and other city officials from the violent crime stand point. I will also recommend and support my research with examples from Centervale officials,

Kyra Helms Professor Sam DeStefano English 121 12 October 2014 “The Charms of Murder”: The Meanings Behind it All When reading “The Charms of Murder” an essay by David Thomson, from a Narrative Magazine, I realized that this was about so much more than the act of murder. David Thomson made me realize how involved and entertained the world is by death by providing a few examples.

The Reid Model of Interrogation has been criticised because it allows police officers to coerce false confessions from suspects. The coerced interrogation can lead to false confessions because the suspect wants to escape the stress inducing interrogation and they want to avoid the threatened punishment. The Reid Model also exploits suspects who are “psychologically vulnerable, intellectually disabled or have a history of substance abuse”. (Murie). Officers try to manipulate the suspect by falsely claiming to know the suspect is guilty, allege the crime is already solved and threaten harsh punishments. The Reid Technique therefore encourages dishonesty on the part of interrogators. The officers assume that the suspect is guilty until proven

In the nonfiction media unit, Making a Murderer, Steven Avery had three consensual relationships while incarcerated. His first wife divorces him during his first incarceration for rape. When exonerated and released from prison upon new DNA testing, Steven becomes engaged to Jodi. This relationship is ended by Jodi when Steven is on trial for murdering Teresa Halbach because it violates her DUI parole conditions. While serving a life sentence for murdering Teresa Halbach, he corresponds and begins a relationship with Sandra Greeman.
