However, Judge Robert Rinfret said burglaries are taken seriously by the court and Pate already had received a significant break when the state agreed to reduce the charge from a second-degree felony.

Her attorney argued that she should never have been brought to trial because the material evidence resulted from an illegal, warrant less search. Because the search was unlawful, he maintained that the evidence was illegally obtained and must also be excluded. In its ruling, the Supreme Court of Ohio recognized that ?a reasonable argument? could be made that the conviction should be reversed ?because the ?methods? employed to obtain the evidence?were such as to offend a sense of justice.? But the court also stated that the materials were admissible evidence. The Court explained its ruling by differentiating between evidence that was peacefully seized from an inanimate object, such as a trunk, rather than forcibly seized from an individual. Based on this decision, Mapp's appeal was denied and her conviction was upheld.

Mr. Powers was arrested and charged based on two pieces of evidence that were discovered by police during a warrantless search of his tent and toolbox. The issue at hand is whether this search and the subsequent seizure of the items in question violated the constitutional rights afforded to Mr. Powers by the Fourth Amendment, thus providing adequate legal grounds for a court to suppress the items pursuant to the exclusionary rule of evidence. Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961). A court would likely find that Mr. Powers had a reasonable expectation of privacy in both his tent and his toolbox, and thus that the wire cutters and spool of copper wire are inadmissible due to the fact that they were discovered in violation of the Constitution.

“There were 11.1 million of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S in 2014” (5 Facts About Illegals). This epidemic is causing hospitals to declare bankruptcy wherever there is a larger population of illegal immigrants. Living so close to the Mexican border, Texas has an inflation of illegal immigrants causing working citizens to pay their hard earned money for illegal immigrants to get health care for free, even though they aren’t employed or a citizen of the United States. American citizens should not provide healthcare to illegal immigrants.

The classic tale of Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a story that never grows old. This play is commonly retold and remade by modern producers. In fact, many of William Shakespeare’s original stories are easily recognizable in modern movies or novels. While many may see the correlation of 10 Things I Hate About You and Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew without further evaluation, the similarities between The Lion King and Hamlet can easily be seen too after closer inspection (Evans).

Because of similar characters, plots, and themes, it is evident that the Disney film The Lion King is heavily influenced

The Sermon on the Mount was God’s first utterance to the general public, who had been reared by a corrupted Judaism. Moreover, it has been interpreted to possibly to be the first discourse to Jesus’ disciples. In His design, He not only wanted to teach Christians ethics, but attempted to point out the errors of Pharisaism while bringing to life the consciences about God’s legalistic listeners. In Matthew 5:20, God says, "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." These themes follow through to the end of the chapter. God expounded the spiritual side of the law to awaken His audience so they could see they needed His own perfect righteousness. Their blinders resulted in ignorance of the spiritual side of the law that was the source of Phrisaism, the leaders conveyed they would fulfil the law with the outward letter. God wanted to set His people back on track with this information on how they should act ethically.
