Introduction. With producing reality shows comes producing inaccuracies in portrayals in order to reach as many viewers and gain as high ratings as possible every week with each new episode. Every day life is boring, yet people tend to be attracted to the relatable shows that portray real life in eccentric ways – ways that they believe could be imitated by the average person.

If it is found by the High Court or Sessions Judge or CJM that the order of dismissal or discharge which have been passed by the inferior Court is against the law but on the other hand, with regard to the circumstances and evidences, then in that case no further inquiry is needed to be directed under this section, the petition can merely be

The Pop Culture Effect On Forensic Science Television is an integrated cultural aspect in one’s everyday life. Media has come a long way since it was first created. One can now watch television at home, on a laptop, or on a cell phone. With this evolution, it has spouted various shows to be created, more specifically shows based on forensic science. Forensic science-based shows have become a cultural phenomenon however, there are consequences to this such as; the CSI effect. Can these shows

no defense request has been made, the suppressed evidence is material only if its introduction probably would have resulted in acquittal. Given a minor role of Phillips' testimony and the limited impact that Phelps statement had on the jury's assessment of Phillips credibility, Maddox could not demonstrate that so the evidence probably would have resulted in an acquittal. Also, the evidence was immaterial under United States V.Blasco; the defendant filed a joint motion to suppress all physical evidence

Critical Race Theory and the Rodney King Case In reviewing the article, Canadian Critical Race Theory, I found that the author, Carol Aylvard, raises some very interesting as well as disturbing questions on the nature of racism within the realm of police enforcement. In looking through the lens of the Rodney King case, we are provided with a very specific example of how the issue of race was dealt with, or not dealt with within the LAPD and judicial system.

On December 1st, 1955, 42 year old Rosa Parks boarded a bus after a long work day. She sat in the front row of the "colored" section. As the "white" section of the bus filled up, the bus driver demanded that Parks move to the back of the bus. She refused to move and was arrested, but her actions helped spark change and inspired several social activists like Martin Luther King Jr and Medgar Evers to protest against racial discrimination. In To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee uses the characters

mere majority be required to acquit. These reforms would effectively abolish the hung jury. We need to stop giving holdouts the power to prevent convictions and I feel that all jurors should not have to agree, only the majority. Presently, both acquittals and convictions must be unanimous in federal court and in forty-eight states. That's not fair to the defendant. He fails to get the benefit of a clear result that would allow repose, and he
