The Murder Of William Boyd, Steven Rogers, And Andru Crowley

After the ballistics team had come to the conclusion that the gun was probably shot from four blocks away, Detective Healey and Doug Boyle start to go on an investigation. They had went door-to-door to question others to see if they knew anything about Charlie Ward’s death. When the police stopped at Michael’s house, they had asked the McKenzie family if they owned any firearms. Michael’s dad responded with a yes and was asked if he can show them. Michael then responded that he did not currently have his Winchester and said that his friend, Joe, borrowed it. A few days later, Doug Boyle and Detective Healey came back to Michael’s house with metal detectors to search the backyard for any evidence. While searching, Doug Boyle finds an empty casing

Henry Lee Lucas, known as the Confession Killer, was an extremely hateful man. He was born In Blacksburg, Virginia on August 23rd, 1936. His death took place in prison on March 12th, 2001. Lucas grew up in a log cabin with his mother, Viola, and his father, Anderson, nicknamed “No Legs” because his legs had become cut off from a freight train. The family was very poor and they could not afford prosthetic legs, which caused the father to slide around on the floor. Viola was a prostitute who made Anderson and Henry watch her. Anderson could not take the torture, so he gave himself pneumonia from lying down in the snow, which he later died of. Henry’s mother took “care” of him throughout his childhood, including dressing him up in girls’ clothing

The Atlanta murders of 1979–1981, sometimes called the Atlanta Child Murders (although several of the purported victims were adults), were a series of murders committed in the American city of Atlanta, Georgia, from the middle of 1979 until May 1981. Over the two-year period, at least 28 African-American children, adolescents and adults were killed. Wayne Williams, an Atlanta native who was 23 years old at the time of the last murder, was arrested for and convicted of two of the adult murders, and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. Police subsequently have attributed a number of the child murders to Williams and closed the cases, although he has not been tried or convicted in any of those cases.

At around 4 a.m. on January 31st outside of an Atlanta nightclub where a post Super Bowl party was winding down, an argument broke out between two groups. The altercation escalated from verbal to physical when one man struck another over the head with a champagne bottle. The actions to take place in the following chaotic moments were fast and furious, and it seems no two eyewitnesses saw the same thing. What is conclusive about the outcome is that a limousine sped away, gunshots were fired at it, and Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar died from multiple stab wounds. If convicted along with his two friends, Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens will go from three-time All-Pro to lifetime inmate.

It is almost impossible for justice to be served when the trail was a mess. There was a 12 hour police interrogation of Jessie Misskelley. He is intellectually disabled, causing him to give a false confession. The police should have known the psychology of false confession and shouldn't have interrogated Mr. Misskelley for 12 hours. The sentences were based on hearsay testimony of witnesses who heard the boys talk about the murders: “...the defendant had been motivated as members of a satanic cult” (Robertson 4). Hearsay doesn't prove anything in the court of law. The jury is supposed to know nothing about the case; but of course one juror already had his mind set on his conviction. This juror

In the past few decades, a new stream of research has emerged in American crime and criminality. It entails the study of sensationalized murder stories. Such an inquiry is critical to understand Americans past in crime and criminality. Case studies such as the murder of Jewett are riveting thus creating a nuanced portrait of a historical moment. Such study paints a picture on important changes in American culture and society over time. With this in mind, the paper details the sensational murder of Helen Jewett. A cursory glance at the argument shows that Jewett personality and lifestyle shatters the common ideas particularly in popular minds about prostitutes as pathetic and broken persons living impoverished lives. However, understanding Jewett murder demand a closer look at the 1830s and 1840s prostitution.

The type of homicide in the Simon Gittany murder case would be considered Intimate partner homicide (IPH). Intimate partner homicide is distinguished by the dynamic of the relationship between victim and perpetrator characterised by an emotional attachment, including spouse, former spouse, boyfriends, girlfriends or same sex partners (Campbell, 2007). According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, homicides involving intimate partners represent 24% of all homicides nationwide and in approximately 4 of 5 cases, the victim was female and the perpetrator was male. Simone Gittany and Lisa Cecilia Harnum lived together in a de facto relationship from 2010 on the 15th floor of a central apartment block in Sydney from where

REPORTER: The reporter (Gennette) called with concerns for the victims, Leslie, Tapenga, and Teagan. According to the reporter, there was a police report in Leslie’s file from Wisconsin. When Justin Tegelman (Leslie’s brother/special needs/currently 19 years old) was 16 years old, he had six counts of sexual assault (from December 2011-June 2012), while living in Wisconsin. The incidents occurred when Justin was a minor. In the police report, Chad (Justin’s father) caught him doing something to one of his sisters (Tapenga). Chad caught them under the covers, and it didn’t appear that their pants were down. Justin said they (Tapenga) were humping. The reporter said, Chad clapped his hands together to indicate humping and Tapenga said “that’s not what happened”. Justin described it as

The boys were all promptly arrested and urged into speedy rushed trials. The case was originally heard in Scottsboro, Alabama with no arraignment or pretrial motions filed due to their trials being rushed as quickly as possible with very poor legal representation. All the boys excluding,

Christopher Simmons a 17-year-old junior in high school at the time murdered Shirley Crook, one early September morning (Oyez, p.1). Simmons was briefly acquainted with Crook previously from a past occurring car accident that had involved them both. Furthermore, Christopher did not plan alone how he wanted to accomplish his crimes. Simmons two friends Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer, 15 and 16 agreed to aid Simmons in accomplishing his plan due to Simmons insisting they would get away with charges due to being minors (Roper v. Simmons, 2005,p.3). The three friends met around 2am September 9th; however at the last minute Tessmer left the scene, backing out of the murder plan. Nevertheless, Simmons and Benjamin gained access to Crook’s home through a window left open, which allowed them to unlock the back door. Mrs. Crook was in her bedroom at the time and the two juveniles duct taped her: eyes, mouth and hands closed (Roper v.

The life of Ray Copeland was arduous and hard, but his response to it was to commit crimes that led him to several years in prison early in his life.

During the investigation, the police obtain statement from a man name Bland providing additional information that suspect Jones was involved in three separate assaults and rapes of juveniles over three days.

Bland also contacts the prosecutor’s office and provides a written statement to the prosecutor that Walsh was not present during any of the rapes. (Case Study, n.d.)
