In 1986, Paul House, was the prime suspect in the murder of Carolyn Muncey. Because of the fact that DNA testing didn’t exist in 1986, the “evidence” found against Paul House was sketchy and not reliable. Although about 36% of Americans have type A blood, Paul House was accused of the murder because the blood type secretions found at the scene were type A, which was his blood type as well. Another factor that contributed to the evidence against him, was a blood stain on his jeans that matched Carolyn Muncey blood type. Although he stated that he was innocent, this was enough evidence for the jury to convict him of murder.
The Mafia John Fitzgerald Kennedy murder may have been organised by the new Orleans mafia boss Carlos Marcello. The motive would be that despite the mafia’s major role in Kennedy getting elected, the president had Marcello deported just after he entered into office. Marcello then threaten JFK to get a “nut” to kill him. Despite this the mafia wouldn’t have used someone as inexperienced as Lee Harvey Oswald to do the job. Also the mafia couldn’t have gotten away with the job by itself so this theory doesn’t explain why the government covered it up.
Also, the Americans who tried them are all biases and when the court case was trailed, it was the height of the red scare so all Americans were being so paranoid when they knew that a murder case had something to do with foreigners and they didn’t even find out what the truth was and just assumed that Sacco and Vanzetti were the attackers. More over , there are evidence proved that there are some people (107 of them) had confirmed that Sacco and Vanzetti were in somewhere else at the time of the crime . Those time witnesses can prove that Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent but unfortunately , most of them were recent Italian immigrants and they could hardly speak any English . That was certainly not a fair trial. Sacco and Vanzetti were not guilty to the crime at all because they had never done the crime they were charged.
As a whole, the Mafia’s assassination desires weren’t focused on Kennedy as much as with Fidel Castro. Castro’s revolution in Cuba forced the Mafia and their vested interests out of the country. This, along with the disdain for Robert Kennedy, seemed to fuel the Mafia’s rage and motive to kill the President. Though his place in the big picture was miniscule in appearance, some believe Jack Ruby had a hand in the process as well. Ruby’s role was questioned by many not solely because of the puzzling murder of Lee
( Economist) “Pressure for a change in the law came after an official inquiry into the murder in 1993 of Stephen Lawrence, a black London schoolboy, found that the principle of double jeopardy would cause “grave injustice to victims and the community” (Economist). The fear that the new rules would be abused and taken advantage of have been tightly defined (Economist). Only the serious crimes can be reviewed—such as murder, rape, and armed robbery (Economist). “Any new investigations must be sent through the Director of Public Prosecution.
This is due to a man named John M. Newman who was a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and National Security Agency executive assistance .He published evidence that both the CIA and FBI had tampered deliberately with their files on Lee Harvey Oswald both before and after the assassination. But that wasn’t all. He had also found out that both the CIA and FBI had withheld information that might have alerted authorities in Dallas that Oswald posed a potential threat to the President. ( Oswald and the CIA: The Documented Truth Anout the Unknown Relationship Between the U.S. Government and the Alleged Killer of JFK, Carroll & Graf, 1995. ISBN 0-7867-0131-5) Its one of the cases that have remained a true mystery and will continue to remain so in my opinion.I tend to believe in consperancy theories so in conclusion I have to
He was later caught because there was a witness that claimed to see what turned out to be his car speeding away from where one of his victims disappeared from. He was also recognized when his picture appeared on the television show “America’s Most Wanted”. McDuff was tried for two of the murders he committed. “If McDuff had been executed as scheduled, he said, “No telling how many lives would have been saved.” This is why for people who truly value public safety, there is no substitute for the best defense which is capital punishment” (“Deterrent”
Throughout the history of serial murders, there are other infamous killers in the 20th century such as Harold Shipman, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Peter Sutcliffe, and many more. These murderers are vicious, yet many people do not know what drives them to kill. Many theorists believe that the reason behind why certain people commit serial murders are biological, suggesting that these killers are born and not made, and that their violent behavior is a result of abnormal brain activity. “Psychologists believe that all serial killers demonstrate some form of antisocial personality disorder—when a person’s way of thinking is dysfunction, and in some cases, destructive—along with other psychiatric conditions which causes them to have a view of the world which is fundamentally different from that of other people” (Scott www.wisegeek.com). Ronald Holmes, a coroner and professor, stated that the motives of serial killers are generally placed in four categories; visionary, mission-oriented, power or control, and hedonistic (43-44).
The Founding Father of the United States added this amendment to the Constitution for two reasons, ("The Free Dictionary", 2014). First they wanted to prevent those accused but not yet convicted of crimes from spending a long period of time incarcerated when they have not been found guilty of it yet. The second reason was the fear that if the trial was delayed the memories of witness could fade, witnesses themselves could disappear, and evidence could be lost. While both the prosecution and defense could be hurt by the second reason, the first is the most important as the defendant would be deprived of life, liberty, and ability to provide for themselves and their family. Not to mention the damage to a person’s reputation that could occur as a result of being held in jail for a prolonged period of time.
For instance if our government captures a terrorist that has planted a nuclear bomb in New York City. The government would have a moral duty to do whatever is necessary to get the information out of the suspect. If that means using violence to protect innocent people is not morally wrong, I would consider it is self-defense. I do not feel terrorist deserve the same rights specified in the Geneva Convention because they are not willing to follow them. I do feel like if captured they should be treated with respect like human beings and not like animals.
