The town played a definite part in Miss Emily’s mental delusion. There were numerous complaints of a foul stench coming from her property and yet no one addressed it to her directly. A younger member of the Board of Aldermen suggested that Miss Emily be told to clean up her property.

Lime is a white powder that is good at covering the smell and aiding in the process of decomposition.
The police searched her residence but did not find the bombing suspect.However the police did find obscene materials in the house, and Miss Mapp was placed under arrest. Miss Mapp was found guilty and convicted for the illegal materials found in her residence. All evidence found at Miss Mapp’s residence was in violation of the fourth amendment (no unlawful search and seizures) because they did not have a real search warrant.The police, who possessed no warrant to search Mapp's property had acted unlawfully. Any incriminating evidence found during the search should, therefore, be thrown out of court and her conviction overturned.

The Supreme Court ended up setting aside their convictions stating that the boy’s illiteracy prevented them from having a fair trial and that they were denied the right to appointed counsel. (Constitutional Law, 407) For the longest time the right to counsel was just for federal crimes or for those that fall within the indulgent person’s right to counsel; until the U.S. Supreme Court case of Gideon v. Wainright. In this case the defendant argued that the court had to appoint him counsel on the soul fact that he could not afford one. The state of Florida said no, that he was not incapable of understanding or representing himself. He was convicted and later filed a petition for habeas
One day during bingo, one of the other women board members left the deposit book in the women’s bathroom in one of the stalls with a few hundred dollars in it and I was the one who found it. There were options of me taking the money and not telling anyone about it making the board think that one of the bingo people found it, or that they lady that lost it left it somewhere else. I could have taken the money and no one would have ever known it was me. I could have used the money to help pay bills and buy new clothes. It could have gotten me out of the hole.
