Speers quickly concluded, or so he said, that Medina was unreliable and, therefore, that he had no obligation to inform Brandley’s lawyers. The private attorney she had consulted thought otherwise, however, and brought her to the attention of the defense. Despite the accumulation of new evidence, Judge Coker recommended that Brandley be denied a new trial a recommendation perfunctorily accepted by the Court of Criminal Appeals on December 22, 1986. But by now civil rights activists had coalesced and raised $80,000 to help finance further efforts on Brandley’s behalf. James McCloskey, of Centurion Ministries in Princeton, New Jersey, took on the
Because he did this without parliaments approval parliament got angry.

The R.T.C ( Resolution Trust Corporation) began to investigate the whitewater case and found that once again Mcdougal was found using large amounts of money he should not have and the Clintons were caught in the crossfire. A report down by the R.T.C, the Pillsbury report, provided evidence that suggested the Clintons knew nothing about the Mcdougal's misdoings and that they were simply innocent bystanders. Regardless of the report, the media still bombarded the Clinton’s with questions about the case until the attorney general at the time appointed an investigator, Robert Fiske, to get to the bottom of the whole scandal. Robert Fiske later on was replaced by Kenneth Starr, another investigator, who found incriminating evidence of sexual misconduct down by president Clinton. The infamous “Starr report” soon came out which accused president Clinton of having an affair with another colleague of his in the White house.
His biggest fear is deportation, which would tear him away from his family, leaving them to fend for themselves. Although Juan is a fictional character, according to President Obama this is the true story of over 12 million people currently living illegally in the U.S (usamnesty.org).

Victor’s action to run away caused William’s death and made Justine look like the killer when the evidence was planted from the blood. I see it as Victor was never going to be truly happy because there was so much he really didn’t know and could not handle the whole situation. People during the Enlightenment tried to handle many things on their own but certain things should just not be touched or you will find out the hard way. It was like finding a million dollars in the street and keeping it thinking no one would ever trace back to finding you because it was something that huge. He paid his price and it was a great one, the role of God is not to be played
Race in todays politics is a taboo topic, white people can not unite in fear of being labeled as racial superioritists and a black president who marks african american on the national census but campaigns for whites and spanish americans. Race for politicians is an over whelming endeavor in which sides are inquired. People rallying and supporting of a man whom in most cases fail them at every turn, which only leads to the idea that they favor him for the color of his skin. The economy has fallen into a deeper hole these past three years, there is no dominant ideology there is just non sensical groupthink. Projections read by 2050
When Adam, who merely wanted to tell me that his brother bequeathed a hefty sum of money to me, confronted me I reacted in fear and trepidation. I racked my mind, attempting to identify what Adam really wanted. Of course, I couldn’t pinpoint his underlying motive because it did not exist.

After he came back from Walden Pond he ran into a tax collector who asked Him to pay six years of late taxes. Henry refused because he believed his taxes were supporting the Mexican-American War and slavery. He was thrown into jail for the night where he wrought his famous essay, Civil Disobedience, which was later published. Although I don't agree with Henry for not paying his taxes, and I believe that he fought an internal war against mental illness (he may have had mental illnesses as demonstrated from him living in isolation from the world for two years, having issues with authority. Both of these are signs of schizophrenia) I have to say that the man was a hero in one aspect.
