Sorry, I mean shoot the gun. Then the story got deeper, her daughter happened to be in the car after all the shoots had been fired. Imagine the level of controversy had the toddler been shot, or worst, fatally wounded as her mother was. Police had no idea that there was a baby in the vehicle right, than that means in all likely hoods that they had no idea as to whom the driver was. I understand that the women suffered from postpartum depression with psychosis but that never stopped her from doing anything before.
During the attack, the police allowed her husband to wander around for 25 minutes and watched as he continued to attack her. When the ambulance arrived and took Tracy away, then they proceeded to arrest Charles. Tracy went to court against the police department of her home town, Torrington, Connecticut for failing to provide her with protection since she was married to her attacker. The court found that Tracey was discriminated against because the violence was a Domestic dispute. She was awarded 2.3 million dollars by the court.
The Quadriplegic Centre Board of Management vs McMurtrie case. In May 2001, McMurtrie, a nurse, suffered a back injury while turning a patient, R.J, in his bed at a Quadriplegic Centre. After swearing at her, R.J. struck out towards her face while she was bending over him. To avoid the hit, she lurched backwards quickly, and suffered a back injury. R. J. had previously been physically aggressive towards two other staff members, which the employer was aware of.
Causation was applied when the teenagers physically abused the elderly and the patient’s family was able to prove that it was in fact physical abuse at the time the elder attended the Good Samaritan Home and no other explanation would suffice. The fourth and final component of negligence that applied to this case was Damages. “Damages are the actual injuries caused by the defendant (nurses) for which compensation is due” (Caldwell, Connor, 2012, p. 135). The nurses were found guilty of physical and verbal abuse and some of the nurses were sentenced to jail time and perhaps restitution to the
Paula wanted to continue working for NewCorp but did not want to continue working under Sam, therefore she applied for a transfer to the wire-coating department. Sam blocked the transfer citing that because Paula could become pregnant that department would not be a good fit for her. By blocking the transfer Sam has now made NewCorp liable for discrimination charges under Title VII. Title VII make it unlawful for companies to discriminate against persons based on their sex. By not allowing the transfer based on the fact that the chemical used in this department could harm a fetus makes this disparate-treatment discrimination.
Andrea also was hospitalized for trying to kill herself with a knife in July of 1999, then in the spring of 2001 she was admitted twice to a treatment center for mental illness. But then in June 4, 2001 Andrea’s psychiatrist discontinues her medications, and on June 20, 2001 Andrea drowns her five children. On July 31, 2001 a Houston grand jury indicted Andrea Yates for capital murder in the cases of Noah, John and Mary. Since she had killed someone that was under the age of six years old and kill more than one person she was eligible for the death penalty. Andrea Yates attorneys filed for an insanity defense.
After her oldest child was born, Yates developed postpartum psychosis, which caused her to experience hallucinations of stabbings (McLellan, December 2, 2006). Her next three children were born in rapid succession, which left her hormones in an almost constant state of flux. When she gave birth to her fourth child, Yates tried to commit suicide and was admitted to a hospital where she received medication she refused to take (McLellan, December 2, 2006). With her hormonal imbalance and refusal to take the appropriate medication, her condition continued to spiral out of control. Medical experts told Andrea she would be
Evidence, such as Irene’s hand that was “laid on Clare’s bare arm” (209) can be cited as evidence pointing to Irene as Clare’s killer, but Irene, could not have, and would not have pushed Clare, no matter how much she wanted to. On top of the evidence for Irene’s mental inability to have actually pushed Clare, Larsen describes the situation in the room moments before Clare’s death by saying that everyone was “staring at [Clare] in curiosity and wonder” (208). Certainly someone would have noticed Irene, who was in a frantic moment of “terror, tinged with ferocity” (209), push Claire out of the
After shooting the Grandmother, The Misfit states that "she [the Grandmother] would have been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." In suffering from lupus, O'Connor had a figurative gun to her head for most of her life, never knowing when she might die and always having to be righteous in case she would soon be judged by her maker. This statement seems to show O'Connor's disdain for Christians who are very much like the Grandmother, in that they only put up a righteous front until they fear their lives are on the line. O'Connor may have been taking out some of her subconscious hostility against those who didn't appreciate their comfortable lives to the fullest and were lax in "glorifying God" by having The Misfit kill just such a character and her oblivious
