Section 18 Analysis Of 'The Murderer'

John Cox is the author of To Kill a People and a professor at UNCC. Meeting John Cox was very exciting because I never met an author before. I can't believe he took the time to sit down with us, discuss his book, and answer our questions.

The film “Murder on a Sunday Morning” is a documentary on the murder of Mary Ann Stephens. This murder took place on May 7, 2000, in Jacksonville, Florida. Mary Anne Stephens was at the Ramada hotel with her husband when a dark male wearing a dark shirt, shorts, and a flat brim hat approached her and demanded for her purse. Within 5 seconds she was shot in the face by the bridge of her nose and killed. It was later that day hat Brenton Butler was stopped by police and identified by husband of Mary Anne Stephens. Brenton Butler was taken into custody where he remained for the next six months facing charges of murder in the first degree and armed robbery. Through evidence such as the clothes Brenton was wearing on the day of the murder, an alibi of going to blockbuster to hand in an application, and lack of forensic testing, Brenton was found not guilty in the case of Florida v. Brenton Leonard Butler after the jury convened for forty-five minutes on the twenty-first of November in 2000. The Jacksonville grand jury also decided not to file criminal charged against the three officers. After the case on March 12, 2001 the forensics department retrieved the purse to process all parts of it to find fingerprints matching to Juan Curtis who admitted to shooting Mary Ann Stephens. The Butler family planed to sue the sheriffs officers in an $8.5 million civil rights lawsuit.

Murder on a Sunday Morning is about an African American boy who was wrongly convicted of murder. He was only fifteen years old when his life changed forever. While first watching the documentary, it seems to the audience that Brenton Butler, the convicted boy, is guilty. Mr. Stephens, husband of the victim, Ann Stephens, claims that Butler came over, tried to take Anna Stephens’ purse, and then before she could comply, he raised his gun and shot her in the face. Sadly, Mr. Stephens was the only eye-witness, which is a major red flag, as he is connected to the victim. After being forced by the detective, Butler confesses. Once defense attorney, Patrick McGuinness is involved, he has Butler tell the court of his innocence and thus beings the criminal proceedings for Brenton Butler.

I watched helplessly as Dean Moxley, the infamous Kronosville Killer, shoots him in the head. “Oopsies!” he yells. Enraged, I grab my gun off the floor and shoot him. He grabs his leg as he falls down. I rush over to the body and call for backup. It’s finally over. But at a great cost.

Wow, 18 years old and ready to move on into the adult world. You have lived your childhood in safety and warmth, now entering a world with dark, cold hearted people. How will you live your adult life? Well, there is one important thing that should be remembered by all, and that is life will get you down, but you can always recover and keep succeeding.

To execute a man who is severely deranged without treatment, and arguably incompetent when treated, is the pinnacle of what Justice Marshall called 'the barbarity of exacting mindless vengeance. This leaves those doctors who are treating psychotic, condemned prisoners in an untenable position: treating the prisoner may provide short-term relief but ultimately result in his execution, whereas leaving him untreated will condemn him to a world such as Singleton's, filled with disturbing delusions and

Throughout history there have been problems with wrongful and unlawful convictions in the United States. It is extremely difficult to find statistics that are accurate in this regard due to lack of reported or documented information. Most of the time, the victims of wrongful and unlawful conviction are minorities or the indigent. It is the job of the United States justice system to protect the rights and equality of all citizens.

How far would you expect a parent to go to see to it that justice for his/her son who was taken away from them by another man?The Killing is a story written by Andre Dubis who is French and was first published in 1979.The setting of the killings is on Massachusetts which is a small town on the outskirts of Boston. The town features are beaches, a lot of foreign visitors, a park and the woods. From these features, this town represented itself as a safe, calm, peaceful and happy town just like any other small town. This perspective changed after one couple in the town lost their son to murder.The story begins with a couple Matt and Ruth who loses their son, Frank, to murder (newcaneisd, pp 80).

In the nonfiction media unit, Making a Murderer, Steven Avery had three consensual relationships while incarcerated. His first wife divorces him during his first incarceration for rape. When exonerated and released from prison upon new DNA testing, Steven becomes engaged to Jodi. This relationship is ended by Jodi when Steven is on trial for murdering Teresa Halbach because it violates her DUI parole conditions. While serving a life sentence for murdering Teresa Halbach, he corresponds and begins a relationship with Sandra Greeman.

Although the reader doesn't get the real story by using fiction, it allows the author to use techniques like metafiction to allow the reader to better empathies. Fiction allowed Tim O’Brien to create a character named Tim O’Brien which allowed him to create back and forth cut aways in which O’Brien the character can reflect back on the events taking place in the books as well as tell the audience his feelings. It’s this technique that makes the reader feel as if this is a real person telling their story and reflecting back on it enabling the story to feel real to the reader. In the chapter “The Man I Killed”, it is a mix between the story and O’Brien the characters thoughts. This chapter allows the reader to go on a journey through O'Brien's

Mrs.Malone Final Exam In the non-fictional Tv series Making a Murderer, it shows how the criminal justice system can have people wrongfully convicted, tampering with evidence, and unjustified persecution. These aren’t just the only problems with the system, there are many more wrongful things that happen but these are the main ones in this case. We can do many things to stop all of the problems with the American Criminal Justice System, we can crack down on who visits the crime scene, use more evidence when convicting somebody, And using the justice system and have hard evidence to sentence someone for a crime. Brendan Dassey was Steven Avery’s nephew and he was 16 when he got convicted of the crime so he was a miner at the time

Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Act of Killing” was heralded at the time of its 2013 release as a documentary among documentaries, nominated for an Oscar under this broad definition (BBC 2014)—despite Oppenheimer’s methods, which could be construed as an antithesis to the genre. Oppenheimer, faced with the issue of portraying the biased memories of heinous murderers who participated in militaristic Indonesia’s anti-Communist killings of the 1960s, beckons his viewers to glean meaning from the film’s madness not by directing them to a steadfast moral with a narrator, as many documentaries might. He instead uses abrupt cuts from one scene to the next, and an unnerving use of sparse, nondiegetic sound to blur the line between perceived reality and fiction; in so doing, he inverts the common traits of the average documentary.

This doesn’t feel like a strong enough motivation. One wonders if he should tell the

When charged, all of these changes affect an innocent life that could be taken away, due to wrong results. There isn’t just one life that is affected by another’s actions, it causes harm and a deep hurt in many. There’s been many situations where many had to wait a while in order to get the right information. It takes, days, weeks, or even many months for new evidence to be tested and taken to court in order to prove a different story. Evidence is never found on the first try, nor is the correction information found on the first try. At times there isn’t anything wrong with the evidence, it can actually be the chemist who is testing the findings. Not everyone is right for a certain job, and at moments it gets to people’s heads, which causes them to do wrong. Regulations such as their procedures need to be performed in order to prevent more people getting proven guilty when they are
