Criminal justice system relies on forensic evidence, which includes bite-mark and hair analysis, to convict criminals. People began questioning the legitimacy when the FBI admitted to the flaws in hair analysis in hundreds of cases that occurred over decades before the 2000s. Not only those cases but many others in which the evidence was not scientific legitimate. According to The National

Mary Todd Lincoln Mary Ann Todd Lincoln, wife of the sixteenth President of the United States, was born December 13, 1818, in Lexington, Kentucky to Robert and Eliza Parker Todd. She was raised in a wealthy, yet dysfunctional family. She was well educated as a child, but needed more attention while growing up.Mary had a lot of problems as a Southern woman during the Civil War. Many people disliked her and people often criticized her actions

Over the next few weeks, Gilbert continued to track down sources. Many of them, including the Barbees, remained convinced that Willingham was guilty, but several of his friends and relatives had doubts. So did some people in law enforcement. Willingham’s former probation officer in Oklahoma, Polly Goodin, recently told me that Willingham had never demonstrated bizarre or sociopathic behavior. “He was probably one of my favorite kids,” she said. Even a former judge named Bebe Bridges—who had often

Many know Mary Todd Lincoln as Abraham Lincoln’s wife who is considered to be crazy, or insane. However, many who know and study Mary Lincoln’s background, are more sympathetic to her mental state, and try to find the truth behind her present, or not present mental illness. It is a debate still argued over today with many historians whether or not she was insane enough to be sent to an asylum like she was forced to do.

I have found the 2007 movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Tim Burton to be interesting. It is a musical based off a Broadway hit. Sweeney Todd is a fictional character that has been around in various plays since 1846 and made into a movie in 1936. The movie begins with the character Benjamin Barker on a journey to London. Through a series of songs and flashbacks, it reveals that Sweeney Todd is an alias name of Benjamin Barker. Barker had escaped from Australia after serving 15

It is no wonder that opera singer Brian Mulligan will soon be fulfilling one of his biggest artistic dreams when he takes the stage in the title role of San Francisco Opera's production of "Sweeney Todd" this weekend. It was not all that long ago that the baritone vocalist was hoping that some day he'd take on the prized title character in Stephen Sondheim's popular opera. For fans and followers of the opera scene, Mulligan's young career is a refreshing gift to the art community. Having been cast

On the surface, a good number of films produced by Tim Burton prompt similar themes of dark satire and grisly outcomes. However, throughout the progress of the film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I found my initial impressions of the typically grim director to be baseless and skewed. From being introduced to songs like No Place Like London and my personal favorite, A Little Priest, to the surreal interpretation of lust, loss, and revenge; Burton’s establishes his take on mischief
