Sean Duffy Case Summary

In the case of Marquese, he was tried as a juvenile. The prosecution wanted to try Marquese as an adult because he was on parole from the California Youth Authority, during his latest charge of auto theft and residential burglary. Marquese was two months away from his 18th birthday. Further, one of Marquese’s probation officers’s described him as a career criminal, with unsuccessful attempts to rehabilitate him, and continuously gets into trouble with the law when he is released. The status was determined by the judge, using the five evaluation criteria’s of the California Welfare and Institutions Code 707a (Welfare and Institutions Code, n.d.) . The judge agreed on the first criteria of criminal sophistication, because Marquese planned the burglary. The second criteria, the judge found him unfit because he reoffended, after rehabilitation. The judge found Marquese fit under the remaining three criteria. These criteria deal with previous delinquent history, the success by the juvenile courts to rehabilitee, and the circumstances and gravity of the offenses alleged. The judge felt that the criminal history was mitigated by his bad childhood, with no guidance, and the gravity of the offence did not warrant him unfit. (Marquese, n.d.). I agree with the judge

The supreme court case that I decided on was the case of Gavin Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board (ED. VA.) (Unknown, 2017). This case is about an 18-year-old male that attends a Virginia high school in Gloucester County Virginia.

The problem is Gavin uses the men’s restroom and is fighting for a transgender restroom throughout the school. The school board’s policy denies transgender students access to the restrooms used by rest of the student body because it violates the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Unknown, 2017). The school states that students must use the restrooms according to their

Another inaccurate crime case in 2013 was the beaten of Maurice Harris, a 57-year-old man. He had been punched in the head with a metal pipe, because of the severity of the beaten doctors had to “put in a breathing tube: they also diagnosed a spinal cord injury”. A week after Harries died. However, his death was not classified as homicide, but as “natural” according to the pathologist examination.

Competitive leagues have implemented the draft process to ensure that teams with the worst records are able to acquire top draft pick players to help improve losing teams, and salary caps to prevent a select few teams from acquiring all of the talented players and depriving the rest of the league from being able
