There were many mistakes that was done in the Jonbenet case. They did a poor job into protecting the crime scene. The first responder even asked john and the neighbor to look all over the house for anything unusual. That is something you are not supposed to do, them looking around the house led to the body of Jonbenet and destroyed evidence. Former Boulder police chief, Mark Beckner, said that first off the police officers should have shut down the crime scene immediately and taken statements from JonBenet's parents. Since the crime occurred on Christmas Day, Beckner said that there were less people available to get to the scene. It took a long time after the murder, before police managed to conduct interviews with the Ramsey's, who had by …show more content…
This horrible event led to making the ransom note, and in a handwriting examination, we found that the note could have been easily written by Patsy. In which Patsy said she “found” a two-and-a-half page ransom note near the spiral staircase that led to the basement, where JonBenét’s body would eventually be found. The ransom note was written in interesting way that it would seem to appear in one of those classic crime films. The ransom note demanded $118,000 to be given to a "foreign faction" by 10 a.m. the next day, which was later found out to be the same amount of John Ramsey’s Christmas bonus from his company. That is why when the police arrived and made John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White to search the house for anything unordinary, John made it straight to the basement cellar where he immediately “found” his deceased child. Even though he'd been told to leave everything where he'd found it, he decided to pick her up, carried her body upstairs, removed a piece tape from the child’s mouth and placed her down. He even covered her up with a throw blanket, further destroying vital physical evidence. This would be on purpose if they tend to cover up their tracks. That is when Arndt, the police to first arrive at the crime
The case of Winterburn v Bennett involved the appellants Mr. and Mrs. Winterburn who owned a fish and chip shop in Keighley, West Yorkshire. They had owned a 20-year lease on the property the shop was located until 2007 when they registered as freehold proprietors. They were in dispute with the respondents Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, who owned the carpark and other social facilities on the same land in dispute. The property was bought from the Conservative Club Association (Club) in 2010 and was let to a tenant in 2012, who then obstructed access to the carpark.
John and Patsy Ramsey’s were required to do a test on the handwriting. Caitlin Hacker from popsugar news, pointed out that neither John nor Patsy’s handwriting matched the ransom note after tests were completed (Hacker). The evidence proved neither Patsy or John wrote the ransom note. In order for the parents to be involved their handwritings needed to match. To add to the evidence that proved Jonbenet’s parents innocence the note was specifically written to John, which explained why it asked for his yearly bonus amount. Psychologist Stephen A. Diamond noted the ransom note is aimed toward John rather than Patsy, the note begins addressing John(Diamond). It showed the writer knew John, or been a business partner of his. John had a large business, and could have had many enemies. In the handwriting analysis, it pointed to a person of origin who did not originally come from America. Stephen A. Diamond also stated that certain words in the ransom note demonstrate the possibility that the person who wrote it may not be a US citizen or may have originated in another country(Diamond). The ransom note also stated “ Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction”(Diamond). The Foreign group may be new to the English language, so they messed up certain words or phrases. Also the ransom note

To what extent did Dred Scott decision was examined from an incorrect view of the judicial role and viewed as morally incorrect? Due to Chief Justice Taney’s unacceptable error of not reviewing the case through law, the decision led the nation split into two and eventually caused in American Civil War. In this investigation, Chief Justice Taney, who held the majority of votes, actions and behaviors prior of the case will be evaluated for its impact upon a simple freedom case. This investigation will also focus on three questions that Justice Taney claimed after reviewing the case and how it was or was not constitutional. Research will be done in books about Dred Scott’s background and what he has done throughout his life, a reference
The case of Kent V. United States is a historical case in the United States. The Kent case helped lead the way in the development of a list of eight criteria and principles. This creation of these criteria and principle has helped protect the offender and public for more than forty-five years. Which as a reason has forever changed the process of waving a juvenile into the adult system (Find Law, 2014).
The Boulder Police Department’s investigation was not conclusive and left more questions than answers. Also, upon advice from their attorney, the Ramsey’s refused to be interviewed initially. This further let the barriers that hindered a good outcome. All of these unanswered questions led to a media frenzy and speculation that fueled public speculation.
The justice system is best known as a pursuit for the truth. It is managed by humans so, it is inevitable not to make errors such as ones that will lead an innocent to be wrongfully convicted. Such a scenario is the David Milgaard case where he supposedly raped and murdered a woman named Gail Miller but really, the foundations of justice were tampered with. The Canadian justice system failed terribly, dismissed millions of dollars and banished the citizens certainty in the system. Most importantly, this even diminished 20 years of a man’s life.
The murder of a little girl has haunted Boulder, Colorado. Many people have heard of the famous case of the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. However nobody knows what truly happened the night of her murder. There have been an abundance of conspiracies to what really happened the night of december 25th. 1996.

Legal Affairs Reporter, Cristian Farias, in his article, “The Supreme Court Let a Man Die. He Was Executed With The Wrong Drug.”, and columnist, Manny Fernandez, in his column, “Delays as Death-Penalty Sates Scramble for Execution Drugs” describes the conflicting issues involving the use of certain drugs for the death-penalty. Farias’ purpose is to demonstrate the disastrous decisions the Supreme Court and Oklahoma made. However, Fernandez’s purpose is to inform the readers about how the execution drugs is affecting states all over the country. Both authors were informative and gave intriguing facts, but Farias connected with the audience more and Fernandez created a serious tone to convey to the readers how it is impacting people’s lives.
I believe that it´s the same offender in the Parkinson case and the Johnson case, which is making the offender a serial killer because he has killed 3 people and it has been over a period over 30 days. By looking at different serial killer typologies my firm belief is that this offender will fall into the lust serial killer typology. I concluded this by firstly looking if the crimes were act-focused kills or process kills, I concluded it was process kills because the offender had taken the time to abduct both Parkinson and Johnson and didn 't just kill them right away like an act-focused killer would do. With the offender being a process killer he could only be organized as well because process killers cannot be disorganized. The offender would either be a lust killer, power-control killer or a thrill killer. I concluded that the offender in this case would not be a thrill serial killer, since this kind of murderer gets off my seeing his victims suffering, which is the most important factor for this type of offender. In the Parkinson and Johnson murders there were no signs of torture on the victims bodies and therefore I do not believe that this offender would be a thrill serial killer.
The opinion of Justice BINDEROFF: According to Article I, Section 8(3) of the United States Constitution, Congress is granted the power “to regulate commerce with foreign countries, as well as among the several states…;” this enumerated power is what the Commerce Clause describes. This Article has been used to justify many instances in which Congress has exercised its power to regulate commerce, especially among states. In this regard, there has been a myriad of instances in which such exercise of this congressional power has been challenged. The first instance, was in the case of Gibbons v Ogden (1984), where two men who had been given exclusive licenses by the state of New York to carry passengers to Elizabeth Town from New York, filed a suit in court to block another steamship operator, Gibbons, who had been newly granted a license to carry passengers on that very route, from competing with them. In this case, the Chief Justice found out that Congress was right within its powers – granted by the Commerce Clause - to grant the ferrying license to Mr. Gibbons. The Chief Justice, Marshal, argued that commerce was more than just the selling and purchase of goods, but included other parts of the commercial intercourse between states, such as transport. The argument by the Chief Justice in this context is important in understanding the extent of commerce that falls under the Commerce Clause as intended by the framers.
Hi Lori, I’m with you on this, I believe that the Lawrence case made more sense in terms of the Court’s approach. As I stated in my initial post, it felt like that the Bowers case was centered more on what was morally accepted by society at that time, which was demonstrated in the Court’s decision. Homosexuality has been a controversial topic along with abortion, and most likely it will always be. As you alluded to, we have come a long way from when the Bowers case was first heard; this year marking its 30th year anniversary. Nonetheless, I felt that Lawrence approach was more appropriately handled as the Court established that the issue was not based on the right of homosexual sodomy, but an individual’s right to privacy, especially if the
