Making A Murderer Research Paper

The prosecution really had nothing on Dennis Fritz and the defense attorney realized this early on. The whole Fritz trail was based upon incriminating Ron and convicting Dennis by association.

Witnesses play an important role in trials: “A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trail” ( McCollum, 2001). In other words, without witnesses it cannot be a true trail since there was no one there to see that it happened so it’s his word versus hers. While sitting at the defendant's table he felt very isolated seeing as nobody in the courtroom would look at him or talk to him or acknowledge him. Thank goodness for Wanetta Gibson for finally telling the truth about the case.It wasn't until 2012 when Wanetta Gibson recanted her story that he got his life back and was declared an innocent man. He wound up serving five years and two months in prison and five years of high custody

Jake defended him even know that he was guilty of murdering two men, but he thinks he did it for the right reasons. and there was question of his mental stability when his daughter was beaten and raped. I think most fathers in his situation would do the same thing. If someone did that to my niece i would do the same thing.

Murders and crime in the past decades left a negative impact throughout the city of New York. However, these such crimes were particularly bad in the borough of Brooklyn, New York. Brooklyn, New York during the summers caused many kids and adults to hang out on their stoops and enjoy being refreshed by an open fire hydrant or as they say in Brooklyn the “pump”. During one of those hot summer days in Brooklyn the unthinkable happens. The news is reporting that a possible serial killer was on the loose killing young brunette women. The name of the possible serial killer was David Berkowitz who was dubbed the .44 caliber killer.

He was running because it was the easiest way out of the situation. He ran because staying around meant he had to go to jail, then to court. He was afraid that going to court would lead to him doing life in prison. He was charged with murder, after all, and he was innocent. Understandably, no one wants to do time in prison, especially when they are innocent.

I believe that they did deserve the amount of years in jail, but I do think they should have made Jeffrey’s sentence longer since he did have a good size role in this. Why do I believe this is a

I feel that some people that were involved should have not been punished like they did . But some of his actions were understandable .

I think the way they did most of the trial was wrong. They didn't follow most of the rules that they were suppose to. They are suppose to tell someone what their rights are every time they talk with someone and they only told Brendan Dassey his rights one time and the other times they just asked him if he remembered them instead of telling him his rights again. They also didn’t make contact with his mom to tell her what was going on and that they were going to question him about everything that was happening. For the most part, Brendan's mom didn’t have any idea that Brendan was being talked to and when he called her from jail, she had no idea why he was even in

Steven Avery of Making A Murderer still insists that he is not guilty and now news is out that he has filed an appeal saying that one of the key jurors had it out for him. TMZ shared that Avery wants his conviction for the 2005 killing of Teresa Halbach thrown out and to be released from jail. Avery is saying that one juror repeatedly said he was "f**king guilty." He also told the other jurors "If you can't handle it why don't you tell them [the judge] and just leave." Avery thinks that this is enough to get his case thrown out and get him out of jail again.

In Monster Steve is on trial for felony murder, while his lawyer Kathy O’brian, is trying to show to the court that Steve is a young American kid that was in the wrong place, the prosecutor Sandra Petrocelli is trying to dehumanize Steve and make him out to be a “Monster” in front of the jury. The prosecution try to separate King and Steve as criminals and not as Americans by associating them with known criminals. They jury is supposed to look at the defended without biased judgment, but instead some of the jury have already made their decision on the case, “I don’t know why we’re wasting time. He’s as guilty as when I first laid eyes on him” (52). Steven and his lawyer not only have to win against the prosecution but also win against

I did not agree with the verdict in the Stacey Lannert case. I believe Stacey suffered from a traumatic abusive life and her actions resulted from that.

Juveniles may be kids, they should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, especially in extreme circumstances. Victims and the families of victims still deserve a sense of justice if one of their family members is affected or even killed by a juvenile offender.The juvenile

I feel like this case shouldn’t have even been a case. There is no reason the defense should have been on trial. Everything in this situation was done correctly. Granted of course I think that, as I was the one being accused. During this trial, I was Dr. John Spruce.

I was disappointed in the fact that the teens were convicted before the trail, I feel as once they walked into the police department the law enforcement team knew they were going to pin this crime on the teens by any means. This would have been easy for the public to believe because of the color of their skin and easy to see them as violent

He was already a twice-convicted murderer in Iowa where there is no death penalty for murder. So although he was already a convicted murderer the threat of the death penalty deterred him from killing or allowing any of the other prisoners to kill any of the guards. Another example is of a woman who robbed a store with an unloaded gun. When asked by police why she didn’t have a loaded gun she replied, if things got out of hand she did not want to lose her cool and start shooting people, and possibly kill someone for fear of being sentenced to death.
