Summary Of Mr. Edley's Case

Accomplice liability consents the court to find a person or persons criminally liable for actions committed by another person. Criminal liability is when a person is commits the crime or act and that he or she intent to commit the crime at that moment. Sergeant Cotton was acquitted of all criminal charges against him in the criminal side. However, the Robert and Marian Tolan felt that the lower court’s decision was not fair. I do agree with the Tolans. I believe that courts did not take the evidence that was present to them inconsideration that Cotton was guilty. Cotton carelessly made an error on typing in the car tag number that Robert Tolan and his cousin was driving. Since, he made that mistake he is responsible criminal and civil. He should have been since to prison time and he should be responsible of the wellbeing of Robert Tolan. On the other hand Cotton was found not criminal liability for the charges in criminal court but Tolan took his case to the Supreme Court. Cotton then was found responsible in civil court.

I think a Natural Law School follower would have found the men not guilty of murder. Again this is based upon the reading, back story,

Her trial, which started 10 months after the murders, was lead by what towns’ people called the “dream team” of lawyers. The jury had 12 men on it that believed that she was not guilty because after they showed her the skull of her father in court, she fainted, and because she was a girl. They thought that no girl was capable of committing such a crime.

“The only two people that know I am innocent, is myself and the killer.” Imagine being blamed for a crime you did not commit, and nobody would believe you no matter what you said. Steven Truscott had forty-two years of his life taken from him for being charged with a crime he did not commit. He was charged at only the age of fourteen for murdering and raping twelve year old Lynne Harper. He then became the youngest death-row inmate after one of the most famous trials in the history of Canada. Steven Truscott should never have been convicted for the murder and rape of Lynne Harper due to the fact the forensic evidence was questionable the

For Helen to satisfy the AR of murder (the unlawful killing) she must be the factual and legal cause of the death. We use the but for test, which shows if the consequence would or wouldn’t of happened ‘but for’ the Ds actions. As in the case of R v White, ‘but for’ him poisoning his mothers drink, she would of died anyway as she died of a heart attack, so he was not guilty of murder. ‘But for’ Helen throwing the firework in the room, Ian would not have died so she was the factual cause of death. Also, the legal causation is necessary, which is where the D must be the ‘operating and

The prosecution’s case relies on proving that Blyton was not acting in self-defence and that he made a conscious decision to kill his father. This argument is supported partially by the fact that when Blyton was rushed, Livingstone no longer had possession of the knife that made his initial assault threatening. Furthermore, Blyton gave 6 other versions of the event to various people which do not mention that he was acting in

ICM met with Mr. Hurley at New Start one located at 3653 N. 15th street t to assess Mr. Hurley’s needs and to complete paperwork for his activation. Mr. Hurley is a 41 year old Caucasian male who self- reports using Heroin since the age of 25. Mr. Hurley denied a history of other substance use; however, his referral noted a history of Cocaine and Marijuana use. Mr. Hurley is currently residing at New Start 1 and has been there for approximately two weeks. He stepped down from a level 3B care at Miracles in Progress. Mr. Hurley shared with ICM that his longest period of abstinence was for 8 years, but he could not recall details of his sobriety. During, this encounter Mr. Hurley was very talkative and engaged well with ICM. Mr. Hurley stated that he was hospitalized in the past on multiple occasions

Secondly, the judges are to blame because they made the people who were accused of

Secondly, no justice had been done to Bob Ewell and he got away with a false accusation and Bob basically for all practical purposes killed Tom Robinson. Overall what Arthur Radley had done was justifiable and far fairer than any court would be to Mr. Tom Robinson. (Fassett)

Even though no one knows the truth yet, I feel he didn't do it. It says, “Mr. Ewell came in, very excited he was, and said get to his house quick some nigger’d raped his girl” (Lee 223). If he had been excited there might have been something else that he had done at his house before he went to the police station. This evidence can lead to something else that he hadn't told the officer he spoke to. It states, “Miss Mayella you’ve testified that the defendant choked and beat you-
