All three suspects are interrogated and put on stand for their alibi. They also had negative DNA results. After Joe, Daniel, Eric and Derek wouldn’t testify against the other three suspects they were immediately released. “Forget truth, forget justice, and forget alibi” “This crime scene investigation is going in so many different directions. “Ford just wants to find the right suspect so they are convicting even the innocent” says Derek’s attorney.
They have been treated very poorly and have and victims of many violent crimes. For example, France in 2006, their government declared that Jehovah witnesses were dangerous people. Therefore, they went to 71 of their kingdom halls used firebombs, shot them down and vandalized them. In India of the same year people went house to house brutally beating Jehovah witnesses with fence posts. The peoples who did this never were charged, however, they Jehovah witnesses were charged with inciting the violence.
Lenin also suppressed democracy, closing down the constituent assembly in January 1918 after ‘one day of democracy’. Both the Tsars and the communist rulers also showed no hesitation in the use of secret police and mass terror. Each regime had its own secret police - the Third Section under Alexander II, the Okhrana under Alexander III and Nicholas II, the Cheka, the NKVD and the KGB under the communists. The suppression of opponents was also a common practice throughout the period. Under the term of Pyotr Stolypin as Prime Minister (1906-11), hundreds of opponents were hanged - earning the hangman’s noose the nickname - ‘the Stolypin necktie’.
The peasants’ revolt was a number of local uprisings that became a widespread general rising in 1525; hundreds of castles and religious houses were ransacked but there was no attempt to replace any authority with anything other than mob rule, making it easy for princes to re-establish their control. There was little leadership in the peasants so lacked planning and coordination so ultimately failed in their revolt, Thomas Munzer was the closest thing to a leader the revolt had. He argued that the ‘priesthood of all believers’ meant all men were equal and therefore the princes had no right to control them. Most peasants were deeply religious but were growing tired of the economic demands made by the church so Luther’s ideas were gladly received, however the peasants misinterpreted Luther’s ideas and believed that the Church demands were unjustified. They believed that Luther would lead them in their fight and so took up arms only to find that Luther was actually hugely against the Peasants’ Revolt as he believed you should protest
Hence, Louis Riel can be both hero or traitor. To be a hero or a traitor are the two extremely opposite course, but to a number of people, Louis Riel was a madman and a traitor. Stopping the government’s plan on building the trans-continental railway is a negative action to the majority of population in Canada, especially the traders. Though there was no bloodshed in the Red River Rebellion, Riel did execute one unruly prisoner named Thomas Scott. This execution led him into the trial, and since then the great “folk hero” was also seen as a petty criminal.
Connor Owens October 27, 2009 American Lit. “It’s The Space Between” An analysis of John Proctor’s dissent over his confession in Miller’s, The Crucible Throughout history, the conflicts between the judicial system and civilians have caused great feuds between the two groups. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the two collide once more in a setting based on the historical Salem Witch Trials, in which the theocratic judges of Salem ruled the court. During these trials, as many civilians were put to death by the court for witchcraft, very few people had the courage to step up to the judicial system and pose as some sort of opposition. When John
The unconscious boy was the son of some important official in the military and thus was essential if we wanted an advantage against one of the toughest country in the world. His hands were bound, and he was tortured until he was willing to cooperate, he was only as old as me, fourteen. I was taken away as the master’s son and was not allowed to see, but from what I heard, the Agnikai involved setting the boy on fire in front of his father, blackmailing him, forcing him to agree to our terms otherwise letting the boy burn. I was told to carry the boy to the dungeon, he was a mess. Bits of skin from different parts of his body were peeled off, he had no muscle or meat in some parts of his body and he was overall burned, it was too gruesome and too
I do not feel that Joseph McCarthy should be considered a patriot. He used his position to create fear in people about communism. He made attacks against people without proof and stated that the democrats had been responsible for twenty years of treason. Joseph McCarthy headed a subcommittee in which he badgered witnesses cruelly, often ruining careers. He, McCarthy was never able to produce actual evidence of actual communism.
But nothing from the cables linked the Rosenbergs to it; Julius was arrested on suspicion of espionage when he was named by Sergeant David Greenglass, Ethel’s brother. Julius was the first to be arrested, Ethel was arrested one month after her husband. The FBI was at first very unsuccessful in getting any information from Julius Rosenberg so hoping to persuade Julius into talking they made Ethel’s case capital. This was a very controversial because it was obvious that not enough evidence had been found that would lead the FBI to believe that Ethel was involved enough to receive the death sentence.. While in jail both Ethel and Julius wrote letters that were widely published and that let the public know what they were going through.
This shows his morality. Also from the Crucible, the Deputy Governor Danforth is a good example of a person with no integrity because he has no loyalty towards himself or his beliefs. Danforth refused to pardon any of the accused because twelve people have already been hanged for the same crime and he doesn’t want to tarnish the court’s conviction record. There are also many real world examples of people with integrity. For example the McMartin family; Ray Buckey, Virginia McMartin and Peggy McMartin Buckey, all of whom were put on trial for allegedly molesting children at a California preschool in the 1980’s.
