She states, “A 7-year-old girl is beheaded. The Driver of the car is crushed to death. I think too many people think about drunk driving crashes, or accidents as people like to call them, as, you know, driving off the road. Or rolling through a red light. These crimes are incredibly violent.” Rice charged Heidgen with murder by depraved indifference, because he acted
Drunk driving is something teenagers need to take more seriously. “Every 53 minutes on average, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash and every 90 seconds, someone is injured because of this entirely preventable crime.” For the rest of his life this guy will have to live with the agony and misery of taking the life of a nineteen year old girl just because he had a few drinks and decided he would drive. It’s something that he will think about every single day of his life until the day he dies. How would you feel if that was
A 20-year-old college student had killed a woman at his Ladera Ranch home and had set out on a killing spree that stretched through the heart of Orange County. He had killed a businessman and stole his BMW. A few minutes later, he killed a plumber and took a work truck. He shot randomly at the morning commuters on the 55 Freeway, which had hit at least three cars. The authorities were surprised at the "senseless violence," which had spanned about 25 miles.
These reasons are Tom Robinson has an immobile left arm due to an incident in his childhood where his muscles got smashed, Bob Ewell is known as a “town drunk” and when he is drunk he usually abuses her daughter, Bob Ewell is left handed, Bob Ewell would’ve been able to catch up to Tom Robinson when he was running out of the house because he can’t run fast also due to his left arm, the time period of this trial was in the 1920’s to the 1930’s an old fashion time period like this had a lot of racism and discrimination to African Americans, they think of African Americans as dirty people, liars, and cheaters, and the jury was all white. Tom Robinson is not guilty because of the following main reasons; evidence has flaws, the time period of this trial, he was an African American, and the behavior and social structure of the city Maycomb, Alabama. My comment is that Tom Robinson did not have a “fair” trial at all. And we should all be reminded to stand up against racism and stand up for what you think is
Soon after dropping this album there was a big feud with the East-coast and West-coast rap style. There was a lot of verbal fighting against Tupac and Biggie, another New York rapper. He went to jail once again and served eight months because of parole arrangement. His record company had paid a bond of 1.4 million by the CEO of Death Row Labels Marion "Suge" Knight. On September 7, 1996 as Tupac was leaving the MGM casino with Knight, another car pulled up and shot Shakur.
Dull Conversations and Bright Revelations By Isabel Maier Isabel Maier was walking up Bloor St with her father having their 32nd argument of the day. He had just made some stupid remark or another, and she had just followed with a witty “well that sucks” when a drunk driver came barreling around the corner and hit her dead on, killing her on impact. Well that sucks. Or it would have, if it had actually happened. But that’s beside the point.
Aaron McKinney Mr. Zimmerer Period 3 12/13/13 Ethics Essay Racial injustice in the United States court system is still ramped to this day. In a most recent case, a 16 year old boy and five of his friends all decided to get drunk, take valium pills, drive at criminal speed on normal city streets, and resulted in killing four people: a priest, family man, mother, and daughter, and leaving one of the passengers in the car with extensive brain damage. The judge of the case, Jean Boyd, sentenced the driver to rehab, ten years probation, and a fine. The attorney argued that the 16 year old suffered from “affluenza”, a disease that results in being too rich. The Judge agreed with the defense and the 16 year old avoided murder charges.
Gary Hosey, attempted to act in a good way by rushing home to return the vehicle to his girlfriend, so she can make it too work on time, although, his actions by speeding caused him to be in a crash. The girlfriend knew the offender did not have a driver license and she is wrong for allowing the offender to drive the vehicle. Gary showed some remorse at the first hearing and realizes that he committed a wrongful act. The Justice system gave Gary Hosey a higher bail amount compared to Justin Caramanica who committed the same offense. The ethical decision in this situation is based on utilitarianism.
He had to serve a few days in “tent city” (Hill, Jim, 1999), he had his driver’s license suspended for one year, and he has had to take a few hours of alcohol related courses. He also has had to pay fines to the city and his lawyer. He no longer has a vehicle because it was totaled during the accident that occurred while he was driving intoxicated. Kevin is lucky because he can still work and he has family that can provide him with transportation to and from work. Although, I think Kevin has learned his lesson, I am glad that Arizona has laws in place that will prevent him from being able to drive for one year.
He and others like Gabrielle Giffords are even bringing the parents of the children who were lost in Sandy Hook to make tearful pleas to pass the amendment. Gabrielle Giffords is yet another example that proves my theory. She was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner in 2011 in the middle of a constituent meeting she held. Loughner was expelled from college for disruptive behavior and was showing many signs of mental distress prior to the shooting. So much so that his parents disabled his car at night and took his shot gun away from him.
