In “A Problem”, Uncle Markovitch and the Colonel debate on how to handle Sasha’s unfortunate situation. Both of the Uncle’s wants different outcomes for Sasha, one of them which is the Colonel wants to let the trial go to court. While the other uncle which is Ivan wants to pay it off because they don’t want to discredit the family’s name. In my perspective they should’ve let the trial go to court because he’s an adult and should be accountable for his actions, if he does it once then he’ll do it again, and he did it just for popularity.
I believe that they should’ve let the trial go to court because Sasha is an adult and needs to be accountable. In the story it says that “ Sasha Uskov, the young man of twenty-five”, which means he’s old

My last reasoning, I feel like that they should’ve let go to court was because he did all this just for popularity. Sasha wanted to go to a party. That’s why he stole all this money and asked of more because he’s rich friend was having a party and he decided to go. “ Sasha pictured the drinking party before him, and, among the bottles, the women, and his friends, the thought that he was a criminal was going through his head.” As him being a man and an adult he did something a child will do, steal and threaten someone that’s kind-hearted that tried to help them. Sadly, Uncle Ivan was the one that tried to help him. As for the Colonel, the uncles should’ve went with the Colonel and they wouldn’t be in this problem.
In “A Problem” the Colonel and Ivan came up with what to do with Sasha situation, I don’t agree with that they chose to do. They chose to pay it off, I believe that they should’ve let it go to court because he’s an adult and needs to be accountable for his actions, if he does it once he’ll do it again, and he just did it for
Maryusha Antonovksy was no more. In her place stood Mary Antin, the same immigrant Jewish girl but with a new “American” name. Mary had also bought “real American machine-made garments” to replace her “hateful” homemade European-style clothes. “I long to forget,” she said. “It is painful to be conscious of two worlds.”
Posture: Stark appealed upon conclusion of a criminal jury and bench trial to Washington Appellate court from in which he was found guilty of three counts of second-degree assault as a result of exposing three female partners to HIV virus on over 6 occasions where he used a condom some of the time and after vaginal intercourse ejaculated outside the vagina on one of his victims.
A significant reason the courts continued with prosecuting Kwidzinski was that reversing the charges would make people question the legitimacy of the case all together. The state’s attorney’s office had already charged three alleged attackers. If there was any doubt of Kwidzinski being involved in the case there would be a problem with the lawyers of the other two attackers by trying to jump on the bandwagon to freedom. Even though Kwidzinski may have been justifiably innocent and wrongly accused, the attorneys for Jasas and Caruso would have claimed their clients were wrongly accused as well.
Zombies today are more popular than any other movie or television show. Zombies are popular today because most people can relate to them and it ties into our everyday modern life. In the article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” Chuck Klosterman offers insightful commentary on why zombies are so popular.
In 1870, Alexander made the reform of having trials that weren’t that bias and allowed Trail by Jury. This made the system fairer and meant that the people wouldn’t complain as much because the jurys consisted or your ‘ordinary’’ Russians. This meant that every trial was fair and easier to make a judgment on because you didn’t have conservative people making the judgment or people that were bias towards the tsar. This was to please the people however Alexander II
This case was one of truth and justice. It becomes evident when the Juror 9 says to Juror 10. Do you think you have a monopoly on truth?' [Juror 9, page 8] The fact is, nobody really knows what the truth is, and at the end of the play, still nobody does. The boy may have been guilty, but as Juror 8 pointed out, who were they to make that assumption? Most of the Jurors had taken for granted that what the prosecution had told them was the truth. Through much discussion the Jurors realised that this may
The sentencing that is related to the VLAD Laws state that the associate will be imprisoned for the duration of time related tot heir committed offence and then a further fifteen years must be served along with their original sentence. Essentially it means that if you are associated with a bikie gang and commit a crime “for
He has to decide whether he wants to be in trouble or not and this is a problem! That shows that even though, physical consequences might not come, a normal person’s conscience can and will provide a much more insufferable punishment to deal with. The punishment of knowing that you have done wrong is demanding on Raskolnikov and at the end of the book, he ends up confessing to his crimes to end the torment and clear his conscience.
Rubashov, though a committed Marxist, during his time in the prison seems vexed by the notion that the end justifies the means because he has himself seen that the final result is often not what is seen in the present moment but the truth that becomes apparent only in the light of retrospective thought. Rubashov realizes that it is only history that can pass judgment and thus, the shooting of B. and thirty others by No. 1 will be decided later “He who is in the wrong must pay; he who is in the right will be absolved. That is the law of historical credit;
Honor is everything to the people in the town. Anyone would do anything in order to keep or take back their honor. It is one of the most prized possessions in this culture, prized enough that a crime could be acceptably committed in the act of keeping it. In this instance, honor is so crucial to the Vicario brothers that they commit murder in order to take back honor for their family and their sister. The brothers even say they would have done it again a thousand times over for the same reason. The same belief is just as important to the town as it is to the Vicario brothers. The court in town acquitted the Vicario brothers with the
The heart of the American Judicial System is the determination of the innocence or guilt of the accused. At the beginning of the play, the jurors all feel that the man is guilty for murdering his father and they all wanted to convict him without carrying out a detailed discussion. The persistence of juror eight, however, plays a significant role in ensuring that the correct and fair verdict is delivered. The judicial system maintains that the defendant does not have an obligation to prove his innocence. The fact is not clear to everyone as Juror 8 reminds Juror 2 about it. The fact is a key element of the judicial system and assists in the process of coming up with a verdict. The defendant is usually innocent until proven guilty. Another element of the judicial system that comes out in the play is for a verdict to stand it must be unanimous. Unanimity ensures that the
Being the protagonist in Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov is subject to most ridicule and analysis for his moral ambiguity and outlandish views. After reading about his dreadful murder of Alyona and Lizaveta Ivanovna, many come to the conclusion that Raskolnikov is purely evil. His lack of guilt and belief of justification for his crime surely points readers in this direction. Raskolnikov remains convinced that he is superior and that it was his duty to kill such a worthless person. Although some may view this as evilness, others may perceive it as downright ignorant. His atypical way of thinking doesn’t necessarily make him evil, but that is how some comprehend it. At certain points in the story, we see Raskolnikov not as a deranged man, but instead as a compassionate human being. After the murder, we see him carrying out various charitable acts, perhaps as an attempt to atone for his unforgivable crime. For example, we see some good in him when he gives Sonya’s family twenty rubbles after Marmeladov passes on. We also see this when he attempts to rescue a drunk girl from a man by giving her money for a taxi. As much as Raskolnikov expresses that he was justified in his actions, through his mental and physical illnesses it is apparent that he feels some guilt about it. This guilt makes him seem at least a little bit more human. For these reasons, when all is said and done, it is difficult to determine
Aside from this seemingly noble reasoning, the poor Raskolnikov steals from the deceased after the murder. The money gained from the theft should have given the poor former student more monetary
Raskolnikov murders an old pawnbroker woman for seemingly no reason at all. His sister and mother move to St. Petersburg following his sister's engagement to a man whom Raskolnikov was extremely displeased. Raskolnikov undergoes severe mental trauma, and falls ill after the
His desire is to use the old ladies money to help people who were imprisoned by poverty. Despite this, in the moment, he realizes that he was not “capable of seeing and reasoning” as a normal person would be (71). He knows that, in societies eyes, what he did was wrong, but he does not feel guilt over it. Had he felt guilty, he would have been able to make amends of the situation. As it was, he viewed it as more of an “atonement for forty sins” rather than a crime (446). Raskolnikov can reason, but he is emotionally motivated, and these emotions enhance his split personality. For this reason, the internal struggle increases as his emotions become
