Jordan Lin Graham Case Study

In this paper I will be discussing everything you need to know about the death penalty such as its pros and cons. While the innocent can be killed, the death penalty has its pros because it prevents them from killing again if they are released or have escaped from prison, it helps overpopulated prisons, and it can help victims’ families get justice and closure. Not only can the innocent be killed, but in the past the death penalty was very inhumane. To some its feels right but to others they feel like 2 wrongs don’t make a right. Most people think that the defendant deserves the death penalty, but what does the defendants’ family think?

It is with this understanding of the death penalty’s history that one can start to decide what a valid application (if any) of the death penalty.

This particular task I am going to be identifying and critically be assessing some of the psychological and sociological perspectives in relation to Wests Murder case but in particular focusing on Rose West’s trial on why she was given the guilty verdict. I will go onto explaining the basic and background of the case, the reasons on why the decision was reached and how both the prosecution and defence put across their argument to the courts.

Thesis: Cyntoia Brown should not have been guilty of murder because of negative childhood experiences, being tried as an adult without parole, and shooting out self-defense.

Lennie Small used to travel with George Milton, and they would work on ranches and things of the sort to one day earn enough money to have their own ranch and “Live off the fat of the land.” Of course this is all sent downhill when Lennie kills Curley’s wife. Curley being the son of the boss at the ranch. He didn’t mean to kill her, but he killed her none the less and he himself was killed because he killed her. That is the topic of this paper. Killers should be killed for what they have done. Killing is killing. All murderers should receive capital punishment.

The Narrabeen man body was discovered in North of Sydney, Octavia Street and Ocean street near a bus shelter. His body wasn’t well preserved because the sand was quite warm and also his body was under the sand for 4000 years.

This study by Randall and Smith (2007) explains domestic violence from the perspective of a female victim who chooses

In 2003, Terrance Jamar Graham participated in a robbery of a restaurant at the age of 16. On probation for the robbery, Graham pleads guilty in adult court to another robbery and was sentenced to life without parole (Graham v. Florida, 2009). In 1999, at age 13, Lionel Tate beat a 6-year-old girl to death trying to imitate professional wrestling. Tate was tried as an adult and sentenced to life without parole (Tate v. Florida, 1999). In 2000, at age 13, Nathaniel Brazil fatally shot his middle school teacher claiming the gun went off accidentally. Brazil was tried as an adult and sentenced to life without parole (Brazil v. Colorado, 2000). In 1899, U.S. society continually struggled with rehabilitation versus juvenile accountability. It was

An innocent man is wrongly executed whilst a man who raped and murdered a mother and her thirteen year old daughter spends the rest of his life with three meals a day and cable television. Which of these is the bigger injustice? The use of the death penalty to punish serious crimes is a very controversial topic and there is much debate surrounding the issue. This paper will briefly discuss arguments supporting and against the use of the death penalty.

When an accused is charged with gruesome murder such as bride burning, bail should not be granted to such an accused. Grant of bail was refused to the accused charged of murder having regard to the facts that though two eye witnesses had retracted their statements, there were still eye-witness to the occurrence who directly connected the accused and assigned him a specific role in the murder and that the ailment of the accused was not of such nature as to require him to be released on bail.

During the report period, consumer made minimal progress with the goal. The consumer had an appointment scheduled for 6/19/17 with Ameka Graham. The consumer stated that he had a lot of stuff to share with her but did not want to go because he has been struggling with things at home and in his life. The consumer reviewed conflict resolution skills. The consumer shared that he would just walk away as he usually has been able to do. The consumer shared that he has difficulty with dealing with conflict and getting really irritated at his mother and others so he feels it is best for him to walk away. The consumer reviewed assertive communication to convey his needs. The MHSS was able to share with the and the consumer were able to role play

This challenge illuminates that a woman is less than a man and needs special treatment in order to be on the same level as him. By using this platform as a plea for self-defense the woman is falling into a submissive role. She exhibit an ignorance in how to state her case and defend herself against the penalties that come with murder. Battered Women Syndrome shows that the woman cannot articulate her case clearly and concisely for the jury to understand. As a result she must rely and chooses to rely on the crutch of Battered Women Syndrome. This challenge is also saying that just because a female can commit the act does not mean she can handle the consequences like a man

In this paper I’m going to talk about Capital Punishment and the numerous ideas, thoughts, views and opinions people have about it and how they feel about this type of punishment. There are people who see capital punishment as morally wrong and committing a murder or on the side of the spectrum people see it as the right thing to do and believe that the individual receiving the punishment deserves it. I will also talk about how capital punishment can be used as a deterrent and make individuals second guess the decision they want to make and this may very well be a consequence of their actions. Another thing I will look at and talk about is how people have been falsely accused and sentenced to death or are currently sitting on death row. Also the technology and resources that are available today are so precise and extremely effective that to falsely convict someone is extremely slim and not common at all. There are numerous types of methods used to commit capital punishment and I will take a look at them and discuss them and look at some of them are inhumane and cruel. The process of getting on death row and eventually getting put to death is a very long and tedious one and it takes years to happen. I will discuss how people can make appeals, try and have their case heard again and to try and get off death row even though at times it isn’t successful at all. I will also discuss the states that still practice capital punishment and what states have outlawed

Across America, certain states allow their governments to make use of the death penalty for a myriad of crimes. The methods through which it is attained is often as controversial as the act itself. In the tale of The Confession by John Grisham, the city of Slone, Texas comes to terms with the severe ramifications that come with taking someone's life, whether it be condoned by the law or not. In the case of Donté Drumm, a young football player is accused of killing Nicole Yerber, a popular cheerleader who was supposedly dating him at the time. He was forced into a confession by means of psychological torture. After nine years, Donté is killed for a crime he did not commit. The town unearths the reality that taking someone's life is a permanent action which cannot be undone when a mistake is made. The Confession takes a closer look at what the death penalty really means by not only looking at the statistics but the emotional toll it takes on the people connected to it too, explaining how the death penalty is fundamentally wrong and looking at ways to open people's eyes to the truth of it.
