Personal Narrative-Lack Of Evidence In Court

On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

In February of 2008, I was sitting in a General Court Martial proceeding to defend myself against third-degree murder charges, which arose from a raid my platoon conducted in the rural areas outside of Kirkuk, Iraq. On the night of June 23, 2007, my Platoon Sergeant (PSG) shot and killed a detainee that we had captured early that evening. Realizing what he had just done, my PSG gave me an order that would eventually have me implicated in his crime. I was acquitted of the murder charges, but found guilty of assault through my own testimony. The fact of the matter is, I had a psychotic Platoon Sergeant; Trey Corrales was the walking definition of “Toxic Leadership.” Under the control of Trey Corrales, serving in this platoon was one of the

Testimonies from children who have experienced sexual assault can mean the difference between guilty and not guilty verdicts for the defendant. Often times child victims are psychologically and even physically harmed jeopardizing their statements during the trial. There are a number of reasons for children to be unable to give full accounts of what has occurred to them. For the purpose of protecting child victims and making sure they are heard the courts have implemented innovations that make testifying less traumatic for children and allow for a more accurate description of the assault. Hearsay testimonies are one of the innovations that have been shown to give child victims of sexual assault the chance to be fully heard. Victims directly

I knew I didn't pass my jury the moment I saw Mary's face when I asked to see my score sheets. On each of those goldenrod colored pieces of paper, the phrase Jury Failed: Recommended additional semester of study was checked off. My eyes quickly took in each of those scores; 67, 69, 62, 70. I knew that I was going to end my fall semester with a D in my tuba lessons. How pathetic was that? A D in tuba lessons.

What if you were sent to jail for a robbery that excelled to a murder that you didn’t commit. Well this event happened to a young black boy, named Steve, that was influenced by his environment. The crime that Steve was a part of was robbery and first degree murder.The reason he took part in these events are unknown, but one thing that is certain is he will be charged and have to be proven innocent or guilty. What do you think? Will Steve be proven innocent or guilty of the crimes he was charged with? In all honesty Steve should be held accountable for the robbery with his associate’s James King and Bobo Evans but not for the charge of first degree murder of Mr. Nesbitt (the drug’s store owner). After reading all the evidence it can be proven

So when I first got there I had the idea that it was a mock trial. It was not until we start and they started going over the history of the Texas Supreme Court and how they are able to travel thought the state did I realize that the court cases were real. Which, I am glad that they were real cases because that would have been boring if they were mock. So once I got that all right in my head I started to focus on the cases the first one was at some point difficult to follow to quote my friend who’s in high school “I don’t get why everybody is so mad about so ranch there is plenty of it at Walmart at leas that’s what that one dude said”. Now, my friends, he is the class clown, so I knew it was a joke but he did ask me “for real why did he keep

This week I had the pleasure of sitting in on five hearings. On Monday Magistrate Akel allowed me to observe a child support hearing where both parties were living in Iowa. The initial order was given while the couple lived in Florida. When the father moved to Iowa he was ordered to pay $509.00 dollars a month in child support. The mother sent the child to Iowa to visit his father for a week but the child never came back to Florida. While the child was in the father’s custody he continued to pay child support to the mother. During the hearing, the father wanted to ensure that his ex – wife placed the money that she owed him into a depository account. The attorney representing the father pointed out that she was behind in paying him back. The attorney as well as the father believed that the she was using the money to support her other children. The mother claimed that all of the money that she owed her ex-husband was already in the depository. Magistrate Akel made sure that the mother was aware that if the money was not there she would be held in contempt of court.

“JV Defense” yelled our coach, with time ticking down in the final quarter of the championship game. We were playing in the championship game against Portsmouth. We were both good, but we were better. We had played them twice that year, we won one and they won the other. We were in the locker room and about to walk onto the field. We walked onto the massive field, and as I looked around at the giant stadium with “tons” of fans in it. I could feel the stadium closing in on me.

I spent nearly five years getting rid of the shadows that I have experienced sexual assault. This incident occurred in the winter when I was a five-grade student in primary school. However, until now, I still remember it.

I am writing in regards to the domestic violence charge I received October 8, 2016. First, I will begin by touching base on the events that occurred that night. I had received an acceptance letter from Clinton Technical School that I had been accepted to nursing school. Since I had gotten accepted I decided that I wanted to celebrate by going to a concert with a friend of mine.

I received a call from Lorna and Christina. Lorna said that she got an Order of Dismissal from the Hearing Rep, but she did not understand what it says, what this is about. She swiftly read it, saying that the claimant file a hearing on 05/10/17, which is a very late request.

As I am sitting in my smelly, old jail cell I am thinking why did I pretend to be someone else. I’ll tell you why I got into jail. This is the story of how I got into all of mess and what I did that made me go to jail. Once I was stealing from a store and I was about to big escape while my partner was outside by the car covering for me. My partner and I always robbed places because this is what we did since we were in high school. We got in the car started to drive, went across the bridge and BOOM. We quickly jumped out of the car and got in the boat under the bridge in enough time to get in the boat before the police got to our car to find us. We drove back to the warehouse in the boat because we have to drop the money that we got and we almost

Wow, after sweeping the kitchen floor I realized my children must improve on their chore duties. The trace evidence that I collected was dog hair; a tiny piece of cedar chip, dirt, sand, coffee grinds and crumbs. Also the invisible evidence that we cannot see that was tracked into the house such as bacteria and toxin (Breyer, 2015). Before I entered the crime scene I would first place the protective covers on my shoes and then the gloves so I would not contaminate the crime scene. The obvious pieces of evidence would be collected using tweezers and then individually package the item and write on the label my name, the date, the description and the exhibit number. After the visible evidence was retrieved I would then use the filtered vacuum

Feeling the hard kick on his shin made him yelp. He grinned sheepishly at Rose next words. She's right. Olaf didn't think that he could ever send the girl to do detention. Well actually, he doubted that he'll ever send anyone on detention. It seems that the chance of him to get one is higher that it's borderline concerning. Can a prefect get a detention? Well, he never heard that happened before. Actually, holding the badge puts the boy in a dilemma. Now that he has it, Olaf feels that he has to do everything by the book. Don't get him wrong, he's proud that he got chosen, but it also made him feel that there are certain things that he will need to sacrifice with the new responsibilities. "Heh! Trying to blackmail me with that brother thingy
