because they withheld material evidence that could have changed the sentencing part of Mr. Brady’s trial. Mr. Brady was not innocent in his crimes but the prosecutor held back and did not disclose ahead of time information on a confession and “due process requirements not only

There are several factors to consider when examining the situation of publishing the Rolling Stone UVA rape story. The three theories used to examine more closely the ethical decision the editor had when publishing the story are Kantian perspective, virtue ethics and the Utilitarianism approach, as well as the pros and cons of the situation.

The central issue of the Duke rape case includes Duke University student, Crystal Mangum, as the accuser of several Duke University lacrosse players of having committed sexual assault during a party that the players held in their house, which allegedly followed a stripping job Crystal Mangum performed for the players. After the allegation, a sexual assault kit was conducted and processed. Following the processing, it was found that none of the Duke University lacrosse players’ DNA was found in the sexual assault test kit. However, multiple other men’s DNA was found in the sexual assault test kit. With this knowledge, Durham District Attorney, Mike Nifong, continued to pursue the case, ignoring the results of the DNA sexual assault kit.

Hernandez filed suit against Baylor University, Art Briles (Baylor’s former head football coach) and Ian McCaw (Baylor’s former athletic director) all three of which are considered Defendants in this case. Hernandez seeks to hold these three Defendants liable because she states that they all knew Elliott had six previous sexual assault allegations and did nothing to discourage his actions or protect her from him. Furthermore, following the assault, the university

My understanding of the court system has changed almost weekly from the beginning of my semester. I do understand things that I never thought I would’ve have known or even cared about in the least. The book Courtroom 302 has brought an even different side of thinking into this. The book goes into detail about the criminal court in Chicago. He watches all of the actions and different trials that come and go in the courtroom 302. He presents many different cases throughout the book which gives more insight then just a single case.

Once the video was suspended, a viewer could only see 2 still photos. (As described above) However, these photos did not contain the elements of a sexual assault. The victim identified herself and SP l Hock as being the subjects in the photos.

A high school athlete, known as Brian Banks, age 16, was accused of raping a classmate. The prosecutor ruled for 41 years in prison. Banks confessed to making out with the victim, but never raping her. He was charged as an adult and sentenced to prison. After wasting 10 years of his life, Banks accuser announced that she lied about Banks raping her.

Yale also identified Jack Montagne, a basketball player was also named as an offender. NACC B news source talked about what other sources discussed about Hack Montagne, “the Associated Press, among other outlets, is reporting that Jack Montague, who was the basketball captain at Yale last season, is suing his former school,” (Norlander 2016). The paper gave more information than other articles because they reviled what sport Montague plays. Another schools that names their offender is Bucknell University, which one papers names one offender as Dempsey and states that he was suspended but later graduated from the university. The article states, “Dempsey was suspended from Bucknell and charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct. His suspension was lifted after two days because terms of his bail stipulated no contact with the woman,” (Beauge 2015). Dempsey was the only offender named by newspapers about the school. It shows how large of a case Dempsey was for the school that he would be named by articles. Another important case from the University of Delaware, is about offender, Paul DeFeo. The article stated, “Paul DeFeo, a University of Delaware student from New Jersey, recently had charges of rape and strangulation dismissed in

Attorney for the Defense, Charles Darrow, in his closing statement in the defense of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb begs for even the slightest amount of sympathy from the judge. He does so in hopes that the teenage boys may one day live free lives and that their families have a sense of optimism for the future.

In one case, the University of Minnesota basketball team was playing a game in Madison, Wisconsin.  A woman met one of the players and agreed to go back to his hotel.  Once there they were joined by two of his teammates.  They imprisoned her for three hours and repeatedly raped her.  The players were found not guilty.  In Glen Ridge, New Jersey, four high-school athletes, all of them former football teammates, have been charged with wielding a small baseball bat and a broomstick to rape a 17-year old slightly retarded girl (Ekanzi).

The Steubenville and Glen Ridge rape cases are two very similar cases. The perpetrators were football student athletes with promising futures and the victims were teenage girls whose capability of consenting to the acts done to them were questioned. One of the victims was seventeen-years old and had an intelligence quotient of 64 and the reading comprehension of a second grader. The second victim was sixteen-years old and was publicly assaulted while she was completely intoxicated. This paper will discuss each victim and their perpetrators, as well as the trial sentencing and prosecution. It will explore the different reactions from the community and the debate over the victim’s responsibility leading towards the incident. In both rape

What if the U.S. were to make driving illegal? Our society has been raised with the idea that this is a right of passage into the adult world. Every man, woman, and teenager that had gotten a driver’s license would have to endure a trial. This is similar to what happened to the society living on Pitcairn Island, but with an action that is a more sensitive. To think that there was a society that allowed women and children to be sexually exploited at the age of eleven is appalling. Not only was it allowed, but it was a societal norm. Although this was against the law in Great Britain, the civilians living on Pitcairn Island had been raised in an environment that did not recognize rape. It was perfectly normal for eleven and twelve year old children to be sexually active,

You're walking around campus, all of a sudden you’re pushed to the ground, you're then raped for the first time. You get back up and walk a few more feet, petrified, dazed, and confused, then your face hits a cold metal fence and your pants end up around your ankles and you get raped one more time. That horrendous story was how a night in January went for a Baylor University Freshman. She was on her way back to a party when a Baylor Football player decided to have his way with her and rape her not once, but twice. She was taken to the local hospital where she identified her attacker as Tevin Elliot, a Baylor Football player. He was released from the team and expelled from the University. The victim went to the health center and the security

Recently, I happened to run into a video while I was looking for information for my research paper on rape and stumbled upon the "Steubenville rape case". I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the case, if not, in 2013 a 16 year old went to a party and got so dunk she could barely move. Two star football players who attended her school took her to different parties throughout the night and sexually molested her. They later on laughed about it on social media and posted graphic pictures with disturbing captions. CNN was one of the many news stations that reported the case. To my surprise and as for many who watched, the CNN reporter was extremely bias in favor of the rapists.

Study with both the over-all public and associates of the criminal justice system states a widespread rape fable of a forceful offender and a physically resistant victim. Few studies have observed victim behavior during sexual assaults, and many of these which have been shown have a tendency to focus on physical resistance. The article states that two studies that were examined disclosed the behavior that female victims of rape during sexual assaults. Over a 100 people were examined and about 80 of those people were the same. Still, the behaviors engaged in by victims were complex and diverse. Also, this led to some not wanting to tell the police because they don’t know how to talk about it. Then the media also plays a role in it.
