Haraway with Karl Fontenot and an ex-con Odell Titsworth. He was locked up in the jail but was not charge with anything. Karl Fontenot was also arrested and was questioned for an hour and a half. First he denied any involvement but under police constant pressure, he too made a videotaped “confession”. During the second trial, a psychiatrist examined Fontenot and believed that because of low intelligence, Fontenot did not understood his Miranda rights and the meaning of a ‘confession’ and lied to the police in order to get attention (481).
There were many discrepancies between both the tapes about how the crime was committed. First, both of them implicated Odell Titsworth but could not identify him. Tommy even mispronounced his name, until the police corrected him, this could be because the police gave him Titsworth name. Also, it was impossible for Titsworth to commit the crime because of his broken arm. Both of them were unclear about the location of the body. Tommy Ward kept getting the facts mixed up. Without any shred of physical evidence, both Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot remained in jail. There was no prior knowledge of the victim, no motive was proven, no physical evidence found at the crime scene, such as blood, fingerprints, or saliva because the crime scene was not secured and all evidence was contaminated. The house that they said where they burned the body was burned down a long time ago; it was not even a house at the time of the disappearance. Fontenot in his
Now I am going to give you some background on this subject. The police officers had a lot of suspects and a lot of evidence and the evidence pointed to a lot of people, but then there was evidence that pointed to someone else. The crime scene was not sealed off like it should have been to preserve the evidence. The room in the basement that John found JonBenet in was checked twice by police
Both Atkins' and William's statement were similar, that is why it did not took investigator that long to find out what exactly happened, except for the fact that they both accused each other for the actual shooting and killing of Eric Nesbitt. Both of the suspects of the murder plead guilty and were indicted for the death penalty; however william's death penalty was waived in exchange for his statement against his partner in

One mass killing can change a town, in 1958 a change happened. In January 1958, Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate went on a three-day murder spree, killing ten people. Charles and Caril were dating at the time, he was 19 and she was 14. Caril believes that she was a hostage and did not help Charles kill those people, but the truth is unknown. Charles Starkweather and Caril started a fire, but nobody knows if Caril helped or was a hostage.
The history of Hartford begins with Thomas Hooker’s arrival in Newtown (later renamed Cambridge) Massachusetts where he became a pastor of one of the earliest established churches there. However, voting in Massachusetts was limited to freemen or limited to people who had been formally interrogated on their religious views and experiences. Hooker disagreed with these limitations and their influential pastor, John Cotton. So, Thomas Hooker and Reverend Samuel Stone led a group of one hundred people in 1636 and founded the settlement of Hartford. Which then led to the founding of the Connecticut Colony and Hookers increased involvement in politics. On January 14, 1639 freemen from the three colonies that made up the Connecticut Colony sat down and ratified the “Fundamental Orders of Connecticut” which was called “the first written constitution known to history that created a government. It marked the beginnings of American democracy, of which Thomas Hooker deserves more than any other man to be called the father. The government of the United States today is in lineal descent more nearly related to that of Connecticut than to that of any of the other thirteen colonies” (John Fiske).
(History Channel). Even if one of the two committed the crime, the violent and bloody act should have been noisy enough to attract the attention of the other. There was also not a lot of blood splatter at the crime scene. (Clark). If Lizzie were to have murdered her parents there should have been some sort of blood on Lizzie’s clothes. (Clark). The prosecution used this as a key part of their trial. They had a witness that said she saw Lizzie burning a blue dress in her kitchen and the prosecution insisted that it was the dress Lizzie killed her parent’s in. (Clark). Lizzie did in fact burn a dress and was seen doing so, but she was burning it because she had no use for it anymore because it was soiled with paint. (Clark).
The first witness shown on the stand in the documentary was James Stephens. He was the husband of the victim, Mary Ann Stephens. Mr. Stephens was the crucial witness in this case, because he was the only witness. He claimed in his testimony that Brenton Butler murdered Mary Ann Stephens three feet away from his face. Approximately three hours after the incident, he was able to identify Butler as the culprit from fifty feet away. However, the defense attorney was able to pick highlight multiple problems during the cross-examination. The entire incident took place within a five second window. The defendant was wearing a t-shirt with a prominent logo when he was arrested. Mr. Stephens did not mention the logo to police, and incorrectly stated that the shirt had a collar. It was later learned when a second suspect was arrested for the crime, that Mary Ann Stephens was shot after she spilled her coffee on the shooter. James Stephens never mentioned once mentioned this.
Renegotiation of reality occurs when, by virtue of the institutionalized process of police interrogations, the suspect perceives that his initial reality holds no value to the interrogator or to the outcome of the interrogation, when he lacks agency to defend his reality, and when there is no other option. In this paper, I will illustrate how each of these factors facilitates false confessions and will use the Norfolk Four case as my vehicle for exploration and analysis.
“Our culture, our traditions, our languages are the foundations upon which we build our identity.” - Unknown. Bilingualism has many different interpretations and definitions and can cause problems in the community or unite it. The concept of bilingualism represents several different ideas, two writers, Martin Espada and Richard Rodriguez share in their essays their personal stories about being immersed into the English culture and learning the language. They share their views of what bilingualism means to them personally and make arguments about the importance of the concept. The two essayists bring awareness to the major role bilingualism plays in the communities today and highlight the effects of disagreements between cultural groups.
By befriending the suspect, they drastically altered his reality and preyed on his financial and emotional needs in order to secure a confession. The police were aware that Hart was living in poverty and did not have a social life, and by offering him financial incentives and companionship the officers risked the legitimacy and reliability of the confession. This type of operation can have long term damages on the victim and irreparably damage their sense reality and
Robert Greenleaf and James Hunter are both experts when it comes to leadership. Greenleaf coined the term “servant leadership” and published his first essay regarding this topic in 1970. Hunter is a world renowned author and speaker because of his leadership forte, and has worked with thousands of business executives on developing leadership skills that create successful businesses (Hunter 1998). Both of these men are distinguished professionals because of their philosophies and approaches to efficacious leadership, but they each have a different approach of how they present and represent these ideas.
The general understanding of democracy is that it is a state of leadership where citizens of a country participate equally either directly or by representative individuals in the establishment of laws, which run the society. However, like many other forms of leadership, democracy has its cons and may not give the citizens the necessary freedoms that they think they have. Different philosophers have different insights on democracy in terms of concepts such as liberty, which they embraced. This paper will look at Benjamin Barber and Joseph Schumpeter’s idea of democracy contrasting their definition in terms of citizenship, obligation, rights and duties of each individual in the society declaring whose idea of democracy creates a compelling vision (Terchek & Conte, 2001).
Mass media plays a great part in our lives. Television, newspapers, magazines surround us everywhere every day of our lives. All of them are stuck with different kinds of ads. But how often do we pay attention to the real sense of those ads and the ways the advertisers try to sell various products to us? We see dissoluteness and challenging behavior every day in life and we got so used to it in, at first sight, such small pieces of film, and apparently of our day routine, as advertisement, that we hardly notice the big picture. For over twenty years, Jean Kilbourne has been writing, lecturing, and making films about how advertising affects women and girls. In her essay, "The Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt':
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham will be the first ones to openly admit there are active limitations with the goal setting theory. It is not uncommon for individual goals to conflict with organizational goals. Moreover, research has proven complex goals have sparked motivation in teams to implement strategies with substantially high amounts of risk (Knight, Durham, & Locke, 2001). Sometimes people will believe higher risk strategies produce the greatest returns, yet high-risk goals consistently result in failure as well (Knight et. al, 2001). Additionally, when individuals simultaneously create two goals there is a greater chance they exert too much energy and focus on achieving just one of those goals. This can lead to one of the goals not receiving enough attention, which can potentially result in the person failing to reach the end result in either goal. In short, these are three common limitations of goal setting that typically draw concerns from other researchers and theorists. However, it is important people are aware of the limitations that do not receive as much attention, such as team goal setting, unethical behavior in high performance goals, and subconscious goals.
John Ratliff from Appletree call centers acknowledged there was a serious problem with employee satisfaction within his company which led him to explore ways motivate his employees and entice them to want to stay with Appletree. John participated in scientific management, or rather studied his employees to find the most effective ways to motivate them; moreover, John used the Maslows Hierarchy of Needs to evaluate his employees and determine which needs were not being met. According to Nickels, McHugh, McHugh (2011) Maslows hierarchy of needs looks at the needs of individuals starting at the physiological needs, to safety, social, esteem, and ultimately self-actualization needs. John discovered meeting these needs of his employees led him
