On June 12th, 1994, Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman’s bodies were found Nicole’s condominium; the victims had been stabbed to death. The identity of the murderer was unknown up until O.J was suspected to be a suspect. When accused, he was in another state, and was forced to fly back. (Aaseng 1996)

In 2001, Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub in her home. This was very disturbing news. I am a native Houstonian. I was at home that day. The television was on and will never forget the news breaking announcements that broke the story of a homicide in Clear Lake. All the information the reporters had was a mother killed all her children then called the police to report it. The full story and the details that lead to this tragedy did not unfold until years later. It was sad because as details unfolded if Andrea Yates had been treated properly and followed her doctors

In the history of the United States of America, Hurricane Katrina was known as one of the worst hurricanes in the world. The hurricane was a combination of tropical waters and gushing winds. It was the vicious hurricane that caused severe damage to the citizens of the United States of America. The amazing city known for its southern style, Cajun cuisines, jazz music and its celebration of Mardi Gras will never be the same. New Orleans, Louisiana was changed forever in August 2005 when this category five hurricane left the city devastated. The catastrophic storm tore through the city of New Orleans and surrounding areas destroying everything in its path and killing hundreds of people.

Both slaughters were horrific. Both senseless. The murder described in “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote shocked the world. Hardworking people – like the Clutter family – and in small towns – similar to Holcomb, Kansas – they were the simplest of people, and they just did not get slaughtered for no reason. The shooting at Columbine was similar to this in that there was no actual reason for the mass murder of fourteen innocent lives. The shooters were bullied, but can we say that is an excuse for the crime? No, of course not. The shooting at Columbine also stunned the world, it also ripped out the heart of every man, woman, and children. The world stopped. Things like this were not supposed to happen. Children – whether they be in elementary school or college – should never feel unsafe and unprotected as they did on the day of the shooting. Just as small town families that had little to do with anything of grave importance, they suddenly felt vulnerable. They began to imagine, “That murdered family could have been us, they were just like us.” People in colleges at the time of Columbine began to think, “Kids are bullied here too, what says that they won’t snap just like at Columbine? Are we safe?”

On April 25th of 1980 Bobby James Moore who was 20 at the time, along with two other men (Willie Albert Koonce and Evertte Anthony Pradia) were in the process of robbing a convenient store located in Houston, Texas, when James McCarble (store clerk) was fatally shot. When Scott realized what was occurring she started to scream, this is when Bobby James Moore than shot 73-year old employee James McCarble in the head killing her. Moore fled the scene, and was found 10 days later, arrested and charged with capital murder- the jury sentenced him to death.

The Univeristy of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s digital publishing initiative, Documenting the American South, provides a first-hand perspective on Southern history through interviews. On June 4, 2006, Pamela Mahogany was interviewed for her personal experience involving the events following Hurricane Katrina. Mahogany describes her actions before deciding to evacuate her home, her trip to the New Orleans Saints’ Superdome, her horrific time at the Superdome, and finally her decision to leave New Orleans. Mahogany’s portrayal of these events allows those who were not directly affected by the hurricane to better understand the physical and emotional distress forced on the victims. For Pamela Mahogany, and probably most other New Orleans residents, Hurricane Katrina at the beginning seemed just like any other storm.

On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman were found murdered in. Simpson was charged with their murders. On June 17, after failing to turn himself in, he was involved in a low speed pursuit with cops, which was

In this paper I read the Essay that Abe Louise Young wrote about “The Voice of Katrina Part One”. In this Essay at its core is about Hurricane Katrina, which was a massive hurricane that hit in 2005. It caused massive damage and destruction along the Gulf coast from Florida to Texas. Hurricane Katrina will always be remembered for hitting New Orleans, Louisiana, when the levee system failed leaving 80% of the city flooded and destroyed. Hitting the worst parts of New Orleans such as the 9th ward, already being one of the poorest areas in Mississippi. Much of the Essay talks about the people of New Orleans, Abe being a new graduate started Alive in Truth: The New Orleans Disaster Oral History and Memory Project, her goal she state’s is to

This horrid event resulted in years of investigation to figure out what could have possibly caused a person to commit such a terrible murder. Our country dissected this event and found a lot of disturbing information. For instance, the two shooters had been plotting their attack strictly towards their classmates and teachers for about a year before everything went down. More investigation showed that the intended date for the massacre was April 19th, the fourth anniversary of the Oklahoma bombings. They were intrigued with this terroristic act and that's why their massacre was supposed to be a bombing instead of a shooting. However, their plans to gather ammunition fell through resulting in the massacre to happen a day later. Also, they found

many families and citizens across the United States ripped apart when hearing about the fatal

In addition to this, I was shocked to learn that Sabrina was the first woman to be exonerated from death row. It was based on the assumption that she had killed her son I think that her case lacked any evidence. I also would like to have known who sat on the jury for this particular case. The Dead Man Walking video clip also surprised me because I was able to see Sr. Helen interact with the death row inmate. It was amazing to see how she was speaking, and praying for the inmate so that he would be healed from his hurt, frustration, and he caused his victims and their families. Sr. Helen’s dedication to helping him find a way to bring hope to his life and admit the part he played in the crimes he was being accused of showed the connection she shared with the inmate and with Jesus (Good Samaritan Society). Finally, I was shocked to hear the inmate say that he would have to be dead in order for someone to love him. His made me wonder if his home life played a part in his being put on death row and for the crimes he committed or if he was easily influenced by others. The final video clip centered on Debby Morris was also surprising to me because she had mastered the step of forgiveness that required her to release her offenders for the kidnapping and the rape. She

I also understand that when a person witnesses something like that it can change them forever, however I don’t think that it makes her actions ok. Watching her parent’s murder does not excuse the fact that she threatened to murder the girls. “I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you” (Miller, 20). It was very uncalled

On Christmas night, 1996 the death of a six-year-old beauty queen shocked the nation, while sleeping JonBenet Ramsey was taken from her room in Boulder, Colorado. Taken unto the basement wine cellar where there she was beaten,

She was an 18 year old woman and had a daughter to worry about that was only 5 months older then the event occurring that day. Even though she was in P.A. at the time she had friends in N.Y. at the time just going for fun. It happened relatively early starting around nine A.M. but she didn't hear anything about it until it was already over around twelve P.M. the tragedy had already happened and now she decided to visit her parents home and discovered that her brother

When I first read the story, I had a hard time believing it. I thought the story was missing something. I grappled with the idea that a father would leave his daughter, even if he were told so at gun point. (And I would hate to think that I am the only one who thinks that). I think in an incident like this, even a mother would leave her daughter behind let alone a father. But, however, everyone seemed to overlook such clear factor. People were more moved by emotion, therefore lost their logical thinking.
