The Supreme Court granted certiorari. FACTS: • The federally insured bank in Eustace, Texas, was robbed on September 21, 1964. A man with a small strip of tape on each side of his face entered the bank, pointed a pistol at the female cashier and the vice president, the only persons in the bank at the time, and forced them to fill a pillowcase with the bank’s money.

The first quarter of 2013 turned grim for a select few officers and bystanders, who came under fire due to the revenge plots of Christopher Jordan Dorner. Dorner had previously been part of the Los Angeles Police Department serving two terms from 2005-2006, and 2007-2008 before he was terminated. Preceding his work in the police force, Dorner had joined the Navy and received training in river warfare units, and was eventually rated as a rifle marksman and pistol expert. These periods in Dorner’s life are pivotal in explaining and analyzing his rationale and methodology for the several deaths that occurred in February of 2013. Dorner’s killings would appear to be a part of a crime series, as detailed in the words from the manifesto he released
