On May 5th, 1993 three eight year old boys were reported missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. The boys were found the next day, hog tied in a wooded area called “Robin Hood Hills”. After the case had been “thoroughly” investigated, the West Memphis Police announced on the news that they had found the murderers, pointing fingers at Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin, three teenagers who were different from the norm in West Memphis, making it easy for them to be accused. I believe the boys were wrongfully accused of this crime because there is a lack of evidence in the case pointing to the boys, and the crime just seems to convenient for these three to actually pull off.

In regards to the Gerald A. Sandusky case, which began in June 11th 2012 and ended on October 9th 2012. We are presented with a case where an individual was given unlimited access to young boys of all ages, some from poor and underprivileged backgrounds.

Testimonies from children who have experienced sexual assault can mean the difference between guilty and not guilty verdicts for the defendant. Often times child victims are psychologically and even physically harmed jeopardizing their statements during the trial. There are a number of reasons for children to be unable to give full accounts of what has occurred to them. For the purpose of protecting child victims and making sure they are heard the courts have implemented innovations that make testifying less traumatic for children and allow for a more accurate description of the assault. Hearsay testimonies are one of the innovations that have been shown to give child victims of sexual assault the chance to be fully heard. Victims directly

On September 30th, 2015 at approximately 10:00am I, Investigator James Poffel was assigned a case in reference a step-brother performing lewd acts to his step-sister approximately three years ago.

This is what led the case to be put on trial because the police were too worried about arresting and charging someone for the murder of someone in their community with only the intent of having someone take blame. Due to where the crime was located, this means the boys would be given the death penalty and because the death penalty is intact “the ruling of death penalty must be imposed by a jury and not only a judge”, thus allowing the boys to plead not guilty and proceed with the trail process in order to prove their innocence to the court (Miller, 2014

On May 5th 1993, three eight-year-old boys, Steven Branch, Michael Moore and Chris Byers, went missing after going on a bike ride together. The police and community began searching the woods and surrounding areas. A few days later, the three boy’s bodies were found in a river. The boys were bound, had multiple injuries and died from drowning. Investigators believed this to be the result of a sacrifice from a satanic cult, and immediately had a suspect. June 3rd, investigators arrested Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley. By March 18th 1994, Damien, Jason and Jessie were all convicted of the murders of the three boys. Many issues arose during the investigation and trial, which was highly publicized and documented by HBO. After

The boys also told police about how they stabbed the woman but that didn’t make sense because there weren’t any stab wounds found on the woman. Intense interrogation can bring a suspect, especially a young one, to the irrational conclusion that falsely confessing will improve a dreadful situation but that wasn’t the case. With all these hard compelling sufficient evidence prosecutors still decided to interrogate the boys and then soon after charging and prosecuting the boys. How was that ever fair to these young men?

Recently, a Colorado Supreme court judge overturned a lower judge’s decision to disallow a juvenile boy’s confession to alleged charges of sexual assault. The original ruling judge cited the juvenile’s Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination was being violated, stating that the parent present during the confession did not have her son’s best interests in mind. However, the parent present was also the boy’s mother, who had filed the initial charges when her eleven year old daughter spoke of repeated sexual abuse at the hands of her brother.

Child molestation and sexual assault is an ever growing problem in the United States today, but an even bigger problem is that these pedophiles are being released after only serving as little as one quarter of their sentence. In California alone (at the time the bill was first passed), there was an estimated 680 individuals on parole for molestation and other sexual assaults including sodomy by force with a victim under the age of thirteen as well as child molestation with foreign objects.
