“Ford just wants to find the right suspect so they are convicting even the innocent” says Derek’s attorney. Finally the last suspect is Omar Ballard. He was recently released of prison after doing two years for beating a woman that ironically lived in the same apartment building as the victim. He also was in jail for the rape of a four-teen year old girl that lived one-hundred feet from her as well. Omar Ballard is also friends with Tamika, the Neighbor of Michelle Moore-bosko who wrongly accused first suspect Daniel Williams.
Turns out it’s not fiction at all but what literally happened to journalist and editor White, who was sentenced to prison at Carville, the only leper colony remaining in the United States, for committing a relatively innocuous financial crime. White’s memoir continues to surprise as it presents a witty, well-rendered narrative of redemption and enlightenment. Readers who enjoy clever, off-beat memoirs will devour this in one sitting.” Library Journal, May 1, 2009 “Brisk, ironic and perceptive, White’s introspective memoir puts a magnifying glass to a flawed life, revealing that all of life is to be savored and respected.” Publisher’s Weekly, April 27, 2009 [White] “offers a memoir of personal transformation and a thoroughly engaging look
I disagree with plea bargaining for the fact that if they did something once and get a plea bargain many will think of it as they got away with something, also they may think if they do something again they will think they can get another plea bargain deal. Topic 2: In Court - What would you do? Wow this is a difficult situation. I would not tell because… CI’s play a vital role in the investigation of many types of crimes, especially drug trafficking and other varieties of criminal collusion. The information they furnish tends to be quite accurate, as demonstrated by the high percentage of productive search warrants
The trial was set for January 2, 1935 and it was expected to be the trial of the century (Petersen). When defense attorneys called Hauptmann to the witness stand, he professed total innocence, claimed that police had subjected him to beatings, and stated that he had been forced to produce handwriting samples that matched the ransom notes (Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping). After more than five weeks of testimony and 11 hours of deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict on Feb. 13, 1935, and Hauptmann was sentenced to death (Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping). On June 20, 1935 Hauptmann’s defense team appealed his conviction to New Jersey’s highest tribunal and on October 9, 1935 that appeal was denied (Busch). On Oct. 15, 1935, the defense team files second appeal and on Dec. 9, 1935 it was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court (Busch).Hauptmann, denying until the end any involvement in the crime, was executed by electric
This case proceeded in London and was said to be a strong influence in the abolishment of capital punishment in the United Kingdom. Evans was executed in 1950 for the murder of his wife and 13-month-old daughter. Evans maintained his innocence through the whole trial and told investigators that his neighbor, John Christie murdered his family. There was not much evidence against Evans and the case was said to be really weak but he was still executed on March 9, 1950. The police coerced Timothy Evans into a false confession by threatening him.
Simpson trial was so pivotal to the prosecution of crimes in the United States because many mistakes were made, in what seemed to be an easy conviction. Another reason that the Simpson case was so pivotal is because by the time the case had reached the closing arguments, the trial had set a new record for the longest jury trial in the state of California.

John Schwartz wrote an article called "Confessing to Crime, but Innocent" that had appeared in The New York Times on September 14, 2010. When more than 40 innocent people have confessed to crimes that they did not commit and were sentence in prisons for a period of time and later found to be innocent. This article describes new research that helps shed light on why innocent people might confess to a crime they did not commit. The author cautions against overstating the problem of false confessions and the point that not obtaining the confession of a guilty person poses a greater threat. According to the article, "experts have long known that some kinds of people -- including the mentally impaired, the mentally ill, the young and the easily led -- are the likeliest to be induced to confess."
It does all of this while still having all the elements a well-written book needs. Capote understood how to make his point in a way that would ‘get’ to readers. It is hard to understand how Bryson would come to a conclusion that the story is nothing but a true story. It is much more than that, and will not only inform readers about the infamous murders, but also give a little insight into the human mind. Whether you agree or not, is up to you, but there is no denying the hostility behind the murders and how two human minds thought it was worth
