Story 2 Las Vegas, NV— Officer involved in grocery store shooting is put on leave Officer Frank Fromanski has been going through questioning from Internal affairs this week, about his connection in last Monday’s grocery story robbery. Fromanski’s gun shot and killed Julia Reed, a cocktail waitress. Crime scene investigators couldn’t find any other gunman like the officer said there was. The officer claims he shot at a third gunman and not Reed. Investigators also stated that Fromanski actually shot more than four times at the suspected third gunmen.
The inquiry chaired by Dame Janet Smith has determined that Harold Shipman unlawfully killed 215 patients, and in a further 45 there were reasons for being concerned about the true cause of death.1 A statistical analysis gives a figure of 236.2 The first definite killing was in March 1975; the last was in June 1998. On average, there were around 10 killings a year, but the number was highly variable. Between 1990 and 1993 he killed only 3 people, but in 1996 he killed at least 30, and in 1997 at least 37, a rate of one killing every ten days. Yet even then, no concerns were raised officially until a courageous doctor from a neighbouring practice, together with her partners, began to think the unthinkable. In March 1998, by which time he had already killed well over 200 people, a police investigation was begun—but quickly abandoned.
Rachel Shumate Mrs. Doss English 10 12/5/12 Why People Should Not Drive Drunk Every year 1.5 million people get pulled over for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). One third of those people are repeat offenders, who even though they got pulled over once, go out and drive drunk again because they have no serious punishments (Curran, 1). Drunk drivers should be imprisoned on the first offense because they are endangering the lives of the other people around them. People who are arrested for DWIs are commonly known repeat offenders. About 1.5 million people get arrested for DUI (Driving under the Influence) each year (DeMichele, 1).
The FBI, State Police and the local law enforcement had numerous leads. State police officer, Tom Schumpp, who supervised the Tylenol case, along with 100 other officers, pursued thousands of leads and several suspects. None compared to the evidence they had on a man named James Lewis, 40, an unemployed accountant. Lewis was the prime suspect in the beginning of the investigation and he remains the prime suspect to this day (Hale). James Lewis was arrested after he sent a letter to Johnson and Johnson demanding $1million to “stop the killings.” If the money was not paid, a repeat of the killing would occur.
Angela Veles Crime 330 Thursday 7:00pm Outline Major Topic: Should Captains, Supervisor and Police Officers be immune to the Criminal Justice system or should their ranking be enough to hold them to a higher standard than the ordinary citizen, or does in fact rank bestow privilege? Brief Summary: On February 12, 1998, about 11 p.m., Philadelphia Police Captain James Brady, off duty, left a bar drunk, got into his department-issued Grand Fury, and headed home. A few blocks from the bar Brady rear-ended a parked car, causing substantial damage both to his car and to the Honda Civic he hit. When Captain Brady got pulled over he identified himself with his badge, hence the obvious inference that he was asking for special treatment,
Lawyers convinced the LAPD to allow Simpson to turn himself in at 11 am on June 17, 1994[16]:87 even though the double murder charge meant no bail and a possible death penalty verdict if convicted. [17] Over 1,000 reporters waited for Simpson at the police station, but he failed to appear. At 2 pm, the Los Angeles Police Department issued an all-points bulletin. At 5 pm Robert Kardashian, a Simpson friend and one of his defense lawyers, read a rambling letter by Simpson to the media. [18]:22 In the letter Simpson sent greetings to 24 friends and wrote, "First everyone understand I had nothing to do with Nicole's murder ... Don't feel sorry for me.
Moll describes a peaceful neighborhood whose tranquility was shattered by an unprovoked barrage of gunfire. Moll exclaims, “This is not a case about racial prejudice, Moll told the jury--it is a case about premeditated murder.” The State would call seventy witnesses in the Sweet trial. Most would testify that the crowd outside the Sweet home was small and orderly prior to the shooting. Arthur Garfield Hays gave the opening statement for the defense, asking each member of the Sweet family to stand as he gave a short biographical sketch of each suggesting, “They don’t look like murderers”. Using Ossian as their critical key to their case, they try to set a tone of fear that were in the minds of the defendants using Sweet’s childhood as a state-of-mind evidence.
On January 29, 1998, Rudolph used a radio-controlled nail bomb at the New Woman All Women Health Care Centre in Birmingham, Alabama. (Noe, 2012) Eric Robert Rudolph was arrested on May 31, 2003 without incident in his hometown of Murphy, NC. He had been on the run from law enforcement officials and on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List for almost five years. “Rudolph pled guilty to the bombings at Olympic Park, the gay bar and the two abortion clinics - one in Atlanta, GA, and the other in Birmingham, AL - as well as two murders resulting from these bombings. The incidents took place from
The forensic technology back then was not nearly like it is today, so none of the 2,500 suspects were nailed and the Zodiac killer’s identity remained anonymous throughout his killing spree (Wark). Between the years 1966 and 1974, the Zodiac Killer provided more than 20 written communications to police officials, some including ciphers that have not been cracked to this day. On August 1, 1969, three letters written by the killer were received at the Vallejo Times-Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the San Francisco Examiner. The letters were all nearly identical that took credit for the first shootings at Lake Herman Road and Blue Rock Springs. Included with each letter was one-third of a 408-symbol cryptogram which the killer claimed contained his identity.
Another issue my people haven faced for some time is racial profiling and here lately it has been on the hot seat! On August 9, 2014, (White) Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed a black unarmed teenager that sparked several protests and unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. While this is only one of several incidents, this sparked a national campaign,
