I’ll say it again no matter how I look, or smell, for that matter, I have not killed anyone. I haven't had a drink in over a year. DET. ABRAMS Well, it appears you weren’t listening. We have all the evidence we need to lock you up for a long time. You going to be convicted of first degree murder. DET. CARLSON Look, we’re giving you a chance to tell your side of the story. If you could just explain what the Bensons did to you or didn’t do or what ever happened that night, it might help us understand why you murdered them. It could help us help you. Right now you’re facing the death penalty. JUSTIN SEABORNE What are you talking about? The death penalty. I didn't do anything. DET. CARLSON Did you feel threatened by them? Was it self-defense? Is that what happened Mr.Seaborne, because if that's the case you may be able to plead down to involuntary manslaughter. But, the only way for that to happen is if you tell us what really happened. JUSTIN SEABORNE WHY WON’T YOU LISTEN TO ME! I didn’t kill them. I wasn’t threatened by them. I went to their house last night for dinner that’s all. I wouldn’t kill my best friends you’ve got to believe me… Please believe me. Det. Abrams walks behind Justin and leans down to his ear
“The Verdict” is a movie that deals with medical and legal ethics. Frank Gavin is an alcoholic who hasn’t won any of his cases in the past three years. Mickey, his former partner, gives him a medical malpractice case that is sure to settle for a large amount of money. The case of Deborah Ann Kay, a mother who was given anesthetic when she had just eaten inhaled her vomit and is now in a coma. The Donaheys, her sister and brother in law are hoping for a good settlement and Frank assures them that they have a strong case. While the case is going on he meets Laura, a woman at a bar who he falls in love with. Frank goes to visit Deborah Ann Kay in the hospital and is affected by her condition.

In chapter 2 of the Ethics Primer Svara discusses many important ideas. Some of these included the importance of people who work for the government doing their civic duty , 3 types of ethical reasonings brought up by a student, and Lawrence Kholbergs model of moral judgement. In the book Svara brings up how people in certain roles have a job to do. They must meet the expectations expected of them or they aren’t serving the public in a full capacity. As you read on the 3 types of ethical reasonings are discussed. They are virtue, principle, and to be a public employee. This student I feel has a pretty spot on idea of how people should act. Honesty and following the law are just things ethically sound people should be doing. It doesn't take a genious to understand right from wrong. Finally a major point of the chapter discussed Lawrence Kohlberg and his model of moral judgement. “Lawrence kholberg (1981) offers a model of moral judgement to help understand how the capacity for ethical reasoning develops and explains the motives for acting at different stages of development”.(23) More specifically he gives the six stages of maturity children go through. These being punishment and obedience, instrumental relativist, good boy;nice girl, society maintaining/law and order, social contract, universal ethical
Investigator Sam Reilly will also be called to testify, in that he was the first investigator on the scene. Shortly after the murder, Officer Reilly went to the defendant’s home at 2435 Damen Street, apt #2B and forced down Mr. John Hudsons’ and Dale Buckner’s door. While at the apartment, Officer Reilly Recovered a .38 revolver (matching the gun from the crime scene), a black leather jacket, and a newly registered Black Cadillac Sedan; which matched the description of the getaway car. Due to officer Reilly’s work, pertinent details of the defendant’s background and belongings have been brought to trial and will help us prove that the defendants did, beyond a reasonable doubt murder, and assist in murdering Mrs. Sara Lazar. Upon arrest, the defendant’s both refused to make a statement concerning the killing of Mrs. Lazar.
In the video “The Confessions” presented by Frontline, a murder of a women that was committed by one man, quickly resulted into a false gang murder-rape scene committed by eight men. The victim, Michelle Bosko, was seen to be raped and killed in her apartment in Norfolk, Virginia. From the video, it has been proven that seven out of the eight men that confessed were innocent, but somehow they all received an unequal punishment. Because the innocent men admitted to a murder that they didn’t commit out of fear, they were all sentenced to some time in prison. The head detective, Glenn Ford, intimidated the men so much that they either were convinced that they were at the crime scene or they told him every detail that he wanted to hear.

I am the Assistant Deputy In Charge of the high threat capital murder case of U.S. vs. Ricky Fackrell and Christopher Cramer currently underway in Beaumont, TX. Both defendants are federal inmates and members of the violent prison gang Soldiers of Aryan Culture. These defendants are accused of stabbing another inmate at least 68 times, inflicting mortal wounds to the victim. During the course of this trial, both inmates have made spontaneous outbursts during the trial and veiled threats towards prosecutors and prosecution witnesses. These defendants are considered extremely violent, as defendant Fackrell has an additional murder charge pending, where he is accused of stomping the head of another inmate, causing that inmate to enter a vegetative
While in middle school and high school, many of our teachers use to teach us about adolescents and warn us about our hormones and sex, but they never really touch on the topic about our mental change and how moral reasoning would change in such an unnoticeable manner. I honestly believed that I still had the same mind set from high school, until I learned about moral reasoning and watch the video of the three different age groups and it showed each mind set and their moral reason for the situation that was given. After watching that video, I reflected on the memories of middle and high school and realized, that I made a lot of dumb choices that I’m not proud of.
We have two witnesses, Dr Richard Kimball, the accused, and Fran Goodheart, his wife’s best friend, who will present evidence that will cause you to have reasonable doubt that Dr Kimball is guilty of first-degree murder.
Confessions have become one of the most valued pieces of evidence in the criminal justice system. What many people, including jurors, may not know is that the process to obtain a confession can vary greatly. Many confessions can be coerced by very abnormal and dangerous situations. A prime example of a suggestive interrogation with a false confession comes from the documentary titled Murder on a Sunday Morning. Alongside, the analysis of the confession given in this documentary will be the critical analysis of three separate academic articles with findings that could have better served the defendant of this case.
On Saturday, September 12, 2015, I was assigned to the 6 Northwest as the security officer. At approximately 0500 hours while breakfast trays were being distributed in pod 100, an inmate, later identified as Kimmie Hawkins became insolent and advised me to get out of the pod. I immediately asked him whom he was talking to and simultaneously walked over to him to view his armband. As I reached for Inmate Hawkins’s left wrist, he snatched away from me, got in a boxing stance, and began bouncing rhythmically on his toes. Therefore, I retrieved my T.A.S.E.R. from its holster and gave Inmate Hawkins loud verbal commands to get on the floor. However, he refused to follow my orders; therefore, I pushed him toward the wall and continued to instruct
Darlie stabbed her two older children to death and faked a home invasion. On the night of June 6, 1996 in Rowlett, Routier called the police telling the operator that an intruder had come into her home and stabbed her and her two little boys. When the police had arrived on the scene her oldest son Devon, 6, was deceased and they tried to revive Damon, 5, but was unsuccessful. She would later testify that she had fallen asleep in front of the television with her two oldest boys, when the intruder entered and attacked her and the children leaving her infant and husband upstairs asleep unharmed. A video was taken eight days after the boy’s deaths of their mother being full of joy and spraying silly string on the graves for Devon’s birthday. Twelve days after the brutal murders of the Routier boys, Darlie Routier was arrested and charged with capital murder. The experts testified that the blood splatter on the back of her shirt had to of come for her reaching over her head each time before she stabbed the boys. More evidence would come flooding in of what the detectives had found, that there were bloody footprints in the kitchen underneath the vacuum and broken glass. The defendant said that the vacuum was there and everything else was there before that dreadful night, if what conspired the way she stated then the evidence wouldn’t have been under the vacuum and it would seem as if she was trying to
While the coroner negligently examined the evidence, he overlooked a small amount of blood found at the crime scene. When the bodies of the boys were erected, a parole officer, Jerry Driver, was convinced that one of his juveniles, Damien Echols, was involved in the felony as a part of a cult. He immediately became the main focus of the investigation and was questioned two days after the homicide. Because of the lack of evidence, the crime became very popular and Vicki Hutchenson, an arbitrary individual who had no involvement with the investigation, chose to engage herself by getting Misskelley to introduce herself to Echols. Damien invited both to a Wiccan meeting which is a witches’ gathering where she claimed that Echols supposedly admitted to the crime in a drunken state. Hutchenson’s lack of knowledge involving the whereabouts and other information about the meeting should have prevented her from a legitimate witness. Years later, Vicki recanted and stated that she was forced by the police to fabricate her experience with Echols and Misskelley. However, the police interrogated Misskelley a day later without reason for 12 hours, and only taped 46 minutes of it. Although Misskelley was a minor, he was

Inmate Nalls jumped up and they got into each other’s face, I then instructed both of them to move away when inmate Nalls struck inmate Collazo in the face with a closed fist to the right side of his face.
Imagine sitting in a large room in Redding County, Iowa. You have chills running down your spine, but not the kind you get from a cold breeze. These are the terrifying chills you receive when you find yourself no more than twenty-five feet from a true monster. This monster is Brian Eric Norton, the man who stalked a 53-year-old mother, and then raped and killed her. This nightmare was a reality for the daughter of the victim Despina Magioudis. Instead of watching her mother 's murderer sentenced to death, she had to see him granted the life penalty. She then returned home, with the knowledge that her tax dollars were paying for the meals of the man who took her mother’s life (Lowe).
