ESCOBEDO V. ILLINOIS SUMMARY: The case involved Danny Escobedo, who was arrested on January 19, 1960, for the murder of his brother-in-law, but was released after contacting his lawyer. The lawyer told him not to answer any more questions if the police rearrested him. Ten days later, he was arrested a second time and asked to see his attorney repeatedly but his request was denied.

These aggravating factors were taken into account and would have increased his criminal culpability thus resulting in him receiving a more severe punishment. Mitigating factors were also taken into account when sentencing Loveridge.

In regard to all the evidence that is presented before us it becomes apparent that there are only two plausible scenarios that happened to Roy Hoywood. The first scenario is that his death was due to a crime of passion in which he found his wife having an affair with her pro tennis friend. The other scenario that stems from the given evidence is that Rita, all the business associates, and Jonathan Simmons conspired to murder Roy in order gain the rights to the property in Los Angeles.

Together these factors have dramatically altered the nature of day-today prison life and inmate culture. Today’s prison life is much better than past times. I think it’s barbaric that prisons used to torture their prisoners, and they had no say in anything.
