The Shootings Of Fast Food Restaurant Managers

When a suspect’s weapon is examined in the laboratory, it will be test fired into a box stuffed with cotton or a tank of water to supply the examiner with the bullets and cartridges with a notable history. Using a microscope, the familiar cartridges are compared with those in question. With some patience, skill, and a bit luck, specialists will definitively say that c certain firearm and no alternative fired this bullet to eject this cartridge. The value of luck cannot be

Judgement can be a complicated and uncomfortable process underpinned by tremendous responsibility. This process must produce a judgement that balances all relevant aspects of the case like the circumstances of the crime and the perpetrator, the crime itself, and many additional factors including the potential for the rehabilitation of the perpetrator in order to attain a semblance of justice. Obviously, this is no easy task; as the unfortunate case of Jonathan Wayne Nobles illustrates, it often proves impossible. On the night of September 13, 1986, Jonathan Wayne Nobles, 25, while under the influence of alcohol, speed, marihuana, and cocaine, broke in to an Austin Texas residence wielding a large knife. Nobles, a drug addict at the

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

In the scenario, three individuals, Joe, Larry, and Bob, were convicted criminals and who were speeding in a stolen vehicle, when they saw a group of rivals. Joe was in the passenger seat warning the others that he was going to shoot at the rival members with a weapon he concealed it in his waistband; Larry the driver, drove the vehicle closer to the opponents. At the stop sign, Bob, who was in the back seat, left the car because he was on parole and didn’t want to go back to imprisonment. Afterwards, Larry drove past the adversaries as Joe discharged a few shots; one individual was murder and the other was shot in the leg.

The case that was researched is the case of the people vs. Robert Blake. In this case it is stated that the husband Robert Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Bakley. It was determined that Mr.Blake fired shots from a world war 2 vintage 9mm Walther P38 Luger pistol. The weapon was found in a dumpster near where Mr. Blake parked his car and was covered with dirt and motor oil. The 9mm pistol was cleaned and tested fired. And the gun was fired to see if it would leave gunshot residue behind after being fired.

At 1:30 in the morning on Saturday, Gabrion Walker, 17, died an hour after being shot. The suspect, Kaleb Oliver Greene, was recklessly playing with a gun on a road when it went off with no intention and killed his friend. With fear and astonishment, he fled the scene into the woods and was found several hours later by a police dog team. Witnesses said at the scene Kaleb was carelessly playing with the gun as if it was no big deal. Little did he know it would soon go off and kill one of his friends. Kaleb was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter, pointing a gun at another and reckless conduct. Due to the state law in Georgia, an involuntary manslaughter is a ten year sentence. I believe that since the suspect was recklessly playing with the gun and had no care in the world while playing with it, his sentence is reasonable. I wish I could say I understand his reason to run since he had no idea it would happen, but he should of stayed and took full responsibility due to his irresponsible actions at the age of eighteen. Kaleb is very lucky that he was not tried as an adult and sent to a federal

It’s April 8 2005 three o’clock in the middle of an intense judge trial Jack finally on the good side of the court. On the other side is James his better older brother and his astute agent walking ungainly to the stand, accused of the shooting in Utah. The witnesses were the people in the shooting and on the side a victim injured, luckly survived. The process starts by stateing the what happened, James judge walked up to the stand promiseing to state all the evidence with authenticity. So the agent looked back

The prosecutors firearm identification testimony for the case was poorly executed which allowed Waite to reexamine the bullets from the case and what he found was the rifling markings did not match up with the bullets that were test fired from Steielow’s gun. They determined that Stielow was not guilty due to the conclusion that his firearm was not used in the crime. Following this case Waite was inspired to develop a systematic process for documenting ballistics information to avoid making mistakes in later cases. After this Waite began to travel to different firearm manufacturers to document the process of creating the firearms to study the different characteristics in each.

Meyer, Ed. “High court hears case of convicts: Lawyers say unused evidence points to innocence in killing.” Knight Ridder Tribune Business News [Washington], 26 Jan. 2006. ProQuest Newstand, search.proquest.com/news/docview/463044845/873A7D0534674A02PQ/2?accountid=15011. Accessed 3 Mar.

On August 24, 1993, an innocent young man named Ruben Cantu was 26 years old when he was executed in Texas (Lise). Cantu, 17 at the time of his crime, was convicted of capital murder based on circumstantial evidence. He was put on trial, and the jury had found him guilty of murder, though in reality he was innocent. For a crime he did not commit, Cantu was sentenced to death. His execution date arrived, and no one still believed his plea of innocence. 12 years passes since his execution, and new evidence comes into light that Ruben Cantu was in fact not the murderer, rather someone else was! Investigators revealed that Cantu did not commit the murder; he was not even there at the night of the murder. The lone eyewitness Juan Moreno recanted

In his book, Schlosser talks about working in the fast food industry calling it “the most dangerous job”. However, requiring no prior skill of any kind, jobs in the fast industry are at equal chances for everyone. What Schlosser didn’t talk about is that those jobs help support families. Although it provides low wages, working in the fast food industry ensures a steady paycheck at the end of each month. So when immigrants arrive from foreign countries they are able to get employed in fast food restaurants without having any previous skills and receive their paycheck at the end of every month. The fast food industry provides a large number of jobs “The nation has about 1 million migrant farm workers and about 3.5 million fast food workers.”

In article Fast-Food Workers Demanding $15 Minimum Wage May Soon Have a Much Bigger Problem, the author Carly Hoilman indicates that a former McDonald’s CEO warned they might use robots and machines to take over jobs if the minimum wage raised from $7.25 an hour to $15 because this will be cheaper than hiring humans.

Members of his family have been brutally murdered, and Tommy Melancon, a 13 year old, stands accused of the heinous crime. His mother is the sole survivor and is adamant that he wielded the weapon that committed the atrocity. His only advocate is his grandmother, who’s hired a law firm to represent her grandson on the charges.

Now considering the unpredictability of the American criminal justice system, meaning that laws are constantly being subject to individual judgment or preference by a court or judge rather than a specific law or statue, there is great room for error in both the conviction and execution of the accused. On the other end of the spectrum, let us not forget society pressuring overworked law enforcement officers to solve crimes leading to mistakes and failure to follow all evidence just to close a case to satisfy society. As humans, we are an inevitable force of error. However, when a life is at stake, error should not be an option.

Capital punishment risks the lives of innocent people. “The evidence is rapidly mounting of the likelihood that innocent people have indeed been executed all along” (Berger 93). This evidence led one state to stop executing people. “Porter nearly spent 17 years on Illinois's death row for a crime he didn't commit, all the while maintaining his innocence… Porter's case is credited with reigniting public debate on the death penalty in Illinois, eventually leading to a moratorium followed by abolition” (“Illinois”). This case shows Porter sitting on death row having his life misspent in a cell rather than doing things of his own liking. Then one day his case was finally followed by abolition because of the factual information found showing Porter’s innocence. Girvies Davis was convicted of murdering an 89 year old man, and the only evidence against Davis was a confession that Davis claims was obtained under the threat of death (“Illinois”). An innocent man was pulled over. He says he was pulled over by the police and held at gunpoint given two options: one, sign the confession or two, attempt to get away (“Illinois”). By the following
