Stephen Muka Case

Based on Elder Vulnerable Client issues unit review (not the correct name of the group), the following was found:

In a narrow southwestern Ontario town of Clinton, Canada, where everyone was associated with the Royal Canadian Air Force base, living on or in company with the base - including a young, 14-year-old boy named Steven Murray Truscott, a popular, athletic teenager who inhabited with his parents. His father, Daniel Truscott, was an RCAF warrant officer and his mother, Doris Truscott, who did not have a job, she only dedicated her life after their family of 6. In June 1959 after a fellow classmate, Lynne Harper was discovered dead and raped, Steven Truscott was constructed to be the only suspect exposed by evidence, displaying to be convicted of first-degree murder. He would soon be acquainted as Canada's youngest death-row inmate, sentenced to be hung months after the murder, at age 14. It wasn't only 45 years later until he was finally exonerated of the crime he was not culpable of.

Jeffery Calkin, the defendant, leased a vehicle for our client, Sage Rent-A-Car Inc., and was involved in a car accident with the plaintiff, Jane White. A negligence suit was filed by Ms. White against Mr. Calkin and our client, Sage Rent-A-Car Inc. The suit claims that our client is required to carry insurance and therefore has a duty to assume responsibility for this accident under the provisions of the Mandatory Financial Responsibility Act (MFRA).

On 2/16/18, at approximately 1941, I responded to 1241 Lake Lucerne Cir, Winter Springs, Seminole County in reference to a battery. Upon arrival I spoke to Michael Morris (victim-w/m 12/23/1977) and Heather Morris (witness w/f 07/01/1980), who informed me that Scott Neely (suspect w/m 11/22/1979) attacked Michael in their driveway.

Christopher Simmons was seventeen years old junior in high school when he committed a capital crime. Simmons discussed his plan to commit burglary & murder with friends sixteen year old Charles Benjamin and fifteen year old John Tessmer, by “breaking and entering”. Simmons and Benjamin entered victim Shirley Crooks home, where Simmons awaken her and entered her bedroom. Later in his confession Simmons told authorities that he and the victim met previously in an auto accident that involved both of them; which was is motivation to kill her. Simmons and his accomplice used duck taped & electric wire to restrain her, they then threw her over the bridge in the Meramec River where she drowned. Simmons went to school bragging to others what he had

It is an undeniable fact that children from poor families often start school far behind their high income peers, as shown by the chart from "Troubled Schools on Trial". Judge Thomas Moukawsher urged changes to Connecticut's educational policies that can only be enacted by the General Assembly. One could argue that Judge Moukawsher overstepped his boundaries as a judge in his decision, but that doesn't mean it should be automatically overturned. A legislative approach is always preferable to a judicial decision in lawmaking. However, both legislators and judges should be focused on their constitutional duty to provide adequate educational opportunities to all students, which means closing funding disparities between wealthy and poor districts,

in each case involving imposition of a penalty or sanction, the accused , Christopher Booz, shall have the right to appeal the decision. This appeal is written and shall be delivered to the vice president for Student Affairs, the hearing officers, the adjudicatory body, and the president of the University- within 5 class days following the decision by the hearing officer or the assistant vice president for Student Affairs. As a student, I have not forfeit the right to any appeal or fail to file an appeal within the 5 class day period. This appeal to the vice president for Student Affairs is made on the following grounds: Lack of due process, i.e., when a student can show an error in the hearing; or arbitrariness in finding against the weight of the evidence, lack of substantial evidence, evidence that was not considered or available that would subsequently change the nature of the case.

David Shestokas states, "Police arriving at the scene of an alleged domestic battery cannot know how volatile the situation is at that moment, or was prior to their arrival. The officers have standard procedures to follow: separating the parties, conducting interviews, observing the scene, checking for injuries, providing information specific to domestic violence and more. However, nearly always someone will be arrested" (Shestokas, 2012.)

In the case of Mike Smith, I believe that both Dr. Carter and Dr. Green made correct initial predictions of Mike’s injured area. I became more convinced that Mike’s symptoms were due to damage of both the brain and spinal cord especially after examining his summary of diagnostic testing results. The reason I say the brain is damaged is because, although his speech, counting, memory, and organization of thoughts are not affected, his vision is. Therefore, the section in Mike’s brain that is responsible for vision, the Thalamus, was clearly affected by the accident. Plus, the sensation in his touch and temperature did not disappear completely but they definitely declined. Other than this, I believe the rest of his conditions were due to damage

I totally do not agree with the decision that the courts made in this case. If anything I could see the case being dropped to a lower charge. I can see that being criminal trespass of some sort, but definitely not rape. It stated at the very beginning that Ms. Wilson insisted that Mr. Valdez use protection to prevent her from getting a disease or pregnant. So to me that is giving him permission to have sex with her. I also do not see where it states anywhere, that Ms. Wilson told Mr. Valdez no or stop. Unless that is information that is missing form this article. Also something that is missing if the case was that Ms. Wilson was telling Mr. Valdez no or stop, but since he wouldn't she just informed him to just at least use a condom for her protection. So if that was

The Civil War was a war that was fought in America between the years of 1861 and 1865. It included two sides, the North and South. Before the war started. there were many events that helped lead to this war. These events included the tensions growing between the North and South Side due to their different views on slavery. It also included the Dread Scott Decision and the Election of Abraham Lincoln.

The Civil War of 1861 – 1865 remains one of the most tragic pages in the American history. It claimed about 700,000 lives and nearly destroyed the unity of the nation (American Civil War). Naturally, such a massive clash could not have burst out inadvertently. Decades of differences between the North and South had led to a full-scale military clash. Two events cannot be overlooked when analyzing the roots of the conflict: the Dred Scott case and Southern secession.

He met a man named Dennis Fritz, and their similar lifestyles led to become good friends. They would hang out, get drunk, then do stupid things. After getting wildly drunk, Ron would find women to sleep with which got him charged of rape two times. Ever since then the townspeople and police hated him and saw him as a disgrace to the city of Aba. His bad reputation and the impatience of the court and community led them to quickly and without much evidence convict Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz of the murder of Debbie Carter. Ron was sentenced to death row and Fritz was sentenced to a lifetime in prison.

Makayla Sault, a now 11-year old Ontario First Nation girl, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia last March. She then began chemotherapy treatment and was given a 75 percent chance of survival with the treatment. She underwent 12 weeks of chemotherapy. During this time, she experienced severe side effects and at one point ended up in intensive care. At this time, Makayla said she had a vision of Jesus, and then wrote a letter to her doctors asking to stop her treatment. With the support of her family and the resistance of the doctors, the children’s aid society that handled the case ultimately granted Makayla’s wish. She then pursued traditional indigenous medicine and other alternative treatments. She died last month after suffering a stroke.

The famous US decision of Riggs v Palmer serves to illustrate a considerable strength in Dworkin’s argument concerning rules and principles. The New York court had to decide a case to determine whether a grandson who poisoned his grandfather to obtain his inheritance was in fact able to collect such an inheritance. At the time, there existed no statute or law that invalidated his claim as a beneficiary due to his involvement in the murder. Furthermore, the applicable legal rule seemed to be that legacies contained in legally valid testamentary dispositions are to be guaranteed by law in accordance with the wishes of the testator. According to Hart, the court should, in this situation, be decided upon pre-existing law. Yet despite this, the court majority found that the grandson could not inherit, instead appealing to moral reasoning by citing the principle that no one should be able to profit from ones crimes. A similar decision based on principle was handed down 70 years later in the case of Henningsen v Bloomfield Motors Inc. As a result of these cases, Dworkin is able
