Meanwhile, prosecutors show new video footage from the marathon scene and witnesses share their vivid, disturbing memories of that day.

If he had denied it, it would have made the process much longer and he would have ended up losing the case anyways. I do hope he gets the death penalty.
Joe Marinaccio Mrs. McCarthy English 10 21 March, 2015 The Flag Raising at Iwo Jima World War II was one of the greatest and bloodiest wars in world history. When characterizing it, one normally thinks of Hitler’s domination and the Nazis. Although, that was a major part of the war, the war on the Pacific was as significant, yet unrecognized to the public today.

After the surprise attack of the Japanese planes, the bombing on Pearl Harbor was devastating and wounded America. Racial tension increased but it also brought all nationalities close together in a way they would’ve not imagined.

The Counterculture obviously relates to Kesey theory of drugs being the key to an individual liberation. When Kesey was in the process of writing the novel One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest the Korean War was still a fresh memory, and then in shock came World War II after. According to Kesey war can cause trauma to patients. Following the daily beast article many of the patients in the nove One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest suffered from war trauma. For example, “Old Colonel Matterson thinks he’s still in World War I, Billy Bibbit suffered a breakdown in ROTC training when he couldn’t answer the drill officer’s command without stuttering, and McMurphy, who received a dishonorable discharge in the Korean War for insubordination” (American Dreams).

This book explores the views of eight different men who have well-educated yet differing opinions on the issue. In this book I am drawn to the experiences of Alex Kazinski, a federal judge for the court of appeals. He discusses the case of a young man named Thomas Baal who brutally stabbed a thirty-four year old woman for money in 1988 (2-4). Kazinski states, “Whatever qualms I had about the efficacy or the morality of the death penalty were drowned out by the pitiful cries of the victims screaming from between the lines of a dry legal prose” (Bedau and Cassell 3).

B”, had been dropping bombs on nearby towns, Kurem, Iwakuni, Takuyama and had been using Lake Biwa north east of Hiroshima as a rendezvous point which lead to high traffic over the coast of Hiroshima making it difficult for Mr. Tanimoto to get a full nights sleep. To add to this Mr. Tanimoto was among many people who feared they were being spied upon, he had graduated in 1940 from Emory College in Atlanta Georgia, spoke excellent English, dressed in American cloths and he had corresponded with many American friends leading right up to the beginning of the war. The police had questioned him and several days before he had heard that an acquaintance, a well known man Mr. Tanaka, had been telling people that Mr. Tanimoto should not be trusted, and he grew increasingly uneasy. To compensate and show himself a good Japanese citizen, Mr. Tanimoto had taken on the chairmanship of his local tonarigumi, a Neighborhood Association, and had been helping organize air-raid defense for about twenty families.
