Slick Martin and Jim Lawbreaker Case Study

During the 1960 Civil Rights Movement, demonstrators were brutalized and killed, sometimes at the hands of law officers, whereas many slayings remain unsolved. “In some cases where local authorities failed to go after the attackers, or all-white juries refused to convict, the federal government moved in with civil rights charges.” Fifty-Two (52) years later in 2012 a murder of young unarmed African American teen Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman from Sanford, Florida, was found not guilty of second-degree murder and acquitted of manslaughter. The verdict sparked a heartfelt online message regarding the decision, which stated “essentially a love note to black people” which ended with “Black people. I love you.

Individuals involved in this case include: Kim Magnum who’s 30 years of age, has a high school education and has been accused for a robbery exceeding the limit of $5,000. He has a criminal history of robbing stores at gun point but states that he has changed for the better. Magnum has a fiancée, Leslie Creemore. S/he is also the age of 30, has a school education and no criminal record. She also states that “she will do anything for Magnum.” Furthermore, Jay Cashman is a teller at the Yourtown Bank of Commerce, s/he is the witness in this case and was allegedly held at gunpoint by the robber, and had to testify against the robber who stole the money. Cashman has finished high school, has been a teller for the last 5 years and is known as a valued employee with no criminal record. Lastly, a constable working at the Yourtown Police Service named Marlowe Gumshore is also marginally involved in this case. This is because he had conducted a search against the robber. He went to police college in Aylmer

The witnesses stated that the sacks that Mr. Riff was charged with carrying that contained the money were issued to him at the poker game. Mr. Riff testified he grabbed the hammer to use as a security measure for him in order to protect his winnings. The Defense disputes Mr. Riff tossed the hammer away prior to arriving home and in no way meant to steal from the market. The Defense in this case exercised oral communication by exploiting the redundancy in this case. This was to establish that the eyewitness testimonies for the prosecution were incorrect and imperfection was found during the police investigation.

I am going to engage the jury in a series of questions that will lead to the verdict of Steve Harmon being declared innocent. Steve has been accused, as a lookout in the murder of a drugstore owner, Alguindado Nesbit. This evening I will prove to you that Steve is innocent of these charges. If we review the testimonies made through this trial,we come to Lorelle Henry. We heard that her granddaughter was sick with a cold and as a result, Mrs. Henry was in the same Harlem drugstore on December twenty second. She testified to seeing Mr.King arguing with store owner, Mr.Nesbit after King grabbed Mr.Nesbits’ collar of his shirt , she left. Mrs.Henry claims she never saw Steve, as the so called “lookout”. Richard Evans as some know him “Bobo” confesses to participating and being the mastermind behind this operation. Mr.Evans testified to being in the store with Mr.King, his friend for years. His testimony describes himself, “Bobo” as the one to grab the cash and some cartons of cigarettes, which leaves King to try and get the gun from Mr.Nesbit. Mr.Evans claims he never received a sign from Steven then

Evidence:Two men who robbed the agency were William Robinson and Terrance Stewart. License plate number was given. A note was found and latent fingerprints.

The crime seeks to punish all legal principals to a crime equally regardless of the role each plays in the violation of the law. For instance, a person who acts as a "lookout" during the commission of robbery or burglary is as guilty as his/her counterpart who completes the crime (Hunt and Rutledge 64). In Santa Ana, California, a man was found guilty of planting methamphetamine and weapons inside the bed of a woman's car and making false reports to the police regarding the victim’s involvement in a crime. Kevin Brown committed the crime with the help of Jenifer Beale. Each of the two accomplices was sentenced to one year and six months in county

[I]n 2001, three young men robbed a McDonald’s restaurant in Milwaukee. 14-year-old Jerrell C.J. was arrested in connection with the offense, taken to the police station, booked, and placed in an interrogation room. In the room, Jerrell was handcuffed to a wall and left alone for approximately two hours. At 9 a.m., Police Detectives Ralph Spano and Kurt Sutter entered the interrogation room. The detectives introduced themselves, removed Jerrell’s handcuffs, and asked him some background questions. Jerrell stated that he was 14 years old and in the eighth grade. He also provided the names, addresses, and phone numbers of his parents and siblings. Jerrell was advised of his Miranda rights, and the detectives then began to question Jerrell about the armed robbery. Jerrell denied any involvement. The detectives challenged this denial and encouraged Jerrell to be "truthful and honest" and "start standing up for what he did." Jerrell again denied his involvement. The detectives again challenged his denial.

On Friday, November 20, 2015, I witnessed the case against Thomas Adam L, charging the defendant with two counts of robbery in the second degree and one count of robbery in the third degree, heard by Hon. Thomas E. Moran in the Monroe Supreme & County Court Criminal Division. The case began around 9:30 am where both attorneys began calling witnesses to the stand to testify whether or not they knew Thomas and if the witness could make out the way he walked and decide whether or not the man in several video clips shown was Thomas. The video clips produced by the prosecutor were clips from Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGTA) showing multiple angles of the suspect in questioning walking by the bus towards

Police are called into a local gas station where an armed robbery has just been reported. They now surround the premises looking for any possible evidence or whereabouts of the deviant responsible for this. Amongst the eyewitnesses there were no injuries but one shaken victim, Sally Mae Rickets, who was severely traumatized by this ordeal. Police question and gather enough information to pinpoint a main suspect, a white male, age 24, by the name of Ricky Bobby Smith. The local police department has a probable cause to arrest him. With a undiagnosed history of mild mental illness, two separate counts of misdemeanor, and the fact he has already been in prison and is currently

The moral issue I have with charging Martin as an adult is that he is a scared 13 year old kid. A kid that had been molested himself and is understandably scared

Mr. Pitt was arrested on the front yard of his home while mowing the yard. The area being mowed contained a city-owned fire hydrant and a city-owned tree. The strip was between the street and the sidewalk. Other residents sought city permission to remove or alter the trees on the strip. Officers Scully and Mulder noticed Mr. Pitt mowing this area of land and talking to himself. Officers exited the cruiser and approached Mr. Pitt from behind. They noticed a weapon belt but no weapon. While Mr. Pitt mowed, he turned and faced officers. At this time the officers noticed an indistinct object hanging from the weapon belt. As Mr. Pitt left the mower in compliance with officer’s orders, the officers observed a shining, freshly sharpened

The reporter stated Ricky pulled out a gun to show the child that he had one, but it was not fired or pointed at the child.

Ms. Nicholson stated Demontae finally left the home and went to stay with a friend; the child called his grandmother and she came to pick him up. The reporter stated Demontae is with his grandmother at this time. The reporter stated this is not the first fight between Demontae and

John Grisham’s third book “The Accused” finds a clever eighth grader attending a trial for a man accused of killing his wife. Theodore Boone, the main character, gets the last available seat only to learn that the suspect has run away. On the day of the trial, Theo realizes that his locker has been burglarized, with inhalers, a Twins baseball cap and some notebooks stolen, and later finds his bike tire slashed. After boy scouts the next day, his tire is slashed again. Theo suspects the vandal is another student, but can’t think of anyone who hates him that much. That night, a computer store is robbed. Several expensive laptops, smart phones and more are stolen. At school the next day, Theo is paged into the office and questioned about the robbery.

The judge looked over the jury, then back at the defendant, a young man of about 20 years of age, and then at the prosecutor, a woman with spiky brown hair and black glasses. The trial had started two hours ago, with a recess one hour after it started. The recess lasted 10 minutes, and then started back up after people could gather their pieces of evidence. There had been so much evidence defending the young man, but in the end, the prosecution had enough to prove their point. The judge declared the young man guilty, and he was taken away. He screamed and struggled, but the guards removed him from the courtroom and delivered him to the prison.
