The facts of the case were as the following there was a killing of an unarmed black teen walking home from the store where he purchased a bag of skittles and a Arizona ice tea. There was no eye witness to the event other than Martin and Zimmerman. I think that if Zimmerman would have let the police handle this matter and stayed in his truck after call 911 and giving a description of martin, who was doing nothing wrong but walking home from the store no of this would have happened, I think there were inconsistencies in Zimmerman’s stories in which he told a couple of different ones. It was proven that Zimmerman had prior knowledge of the stand your ground law and self- defense laws as well .Zimmerman should have been asked to take a lair detector test to prove his innocence. With the evidence that I saw a young black male was killed and there was no punishment for that action even Michael Vick got two years for fighting dogs it make some of wonder about the justice system of the United States Of America The
He was found guilty of the murder and was convicted of killing Peggy. However on January 22, 2008 Timothy Masters was exonerated of the charges which were filed against him. The dismissal of the charges against him was after he had served several years behind bars. In this case, it is clear that these law professionals relied on inconclusive information. Timothy Masters’ arrest was only because he had failed to report that he had found a dead body while he was heading to school.
On August 9th, 2014, an eighteen year old boy named Michael Brown was shot dead by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. The cause of this shooting has been hotly debated, and the subject of many recent protests around the country. This essay will attempt to list and analyze potential causes of the shooting, including the fact that he didn’t listen to the cops and that Brown was the aggressor in the attack. When Darren Wilson first saw Michael Brown, it had nothing to do with the fact that he had just stolen cigars from a convenience store, but rather the fact that he was walking down the middle of the street, or jaywalking. Wilson pulled his car up and told Brown and his friend to get out of the street.
Leonard Shelby cannot remember anything that has happened since the death of his wife, so according to Locke’s viewpoint he should have remained the exact same person since then. But over the course of the film it he has gone from a mild-mannered insurance investigator to a cold-blooded killer. And even though Leonard cannot remember all the killings he has done, they still seem to have affected him in some way. The fact that he is so willing to use his condition to set himself up to kill teddy say’s something about how his psyche has changed since the
Johnny is 11 years old and goes into a local grocery store to rob the store, but then some thing happens and he shoots and kills somebody. Murder is a serious crime, and should not go unpunished, even though this is a child he still needs to be punished. Some people will arguer that a child who is under the age of 16 doesn’t understand or fully comprehend what they have done. Yes children younger than 12 may not fully understand what they have done, but I still feel that anyone over the age of 9 should be treated as an adult as to being tried in the court. The child committed a serious crime, and needs to be treated as an adult up to a point.
But what most of you probably don’t know, is that this cop got away with murder, the shooting of john Williams was declared unjustified, and a normal citizen with this charge would do anywhere from 25 years to life in prison. Ian berk was charged with being negligent and got no reasonable punishment from the law, besides a short term suspension from duty. Washington state law makes it extremely difficult to press charges against any police officers around the state, and around the country it is nearly impossible for a police officer to get charged with a crime of injustices. So how will we ever catch the cops doing wrong if we can’t even charge them? Police officers around the country know this is the case, they know they can abuse their power and get away with it.
He tries convincing Chris to see the way he sees when he tells him, “You lay forty years into a business and they knock you out in five minutes, what could I do, let them take forty years, let them take my life away?” (2.542). Keller actually denies that he was responsible for the deaths of the pilots when Chris confronts him, “How could I kill anybody?” (2.533-4). Keller does not actually consider himself a murderer because he simply can’t. There are other characters with various ethical codes as well. George, for example, is more concerned with revenge than he is with the actual crime that has occurred, “He simply told your father to kill pilots, and covered himself in bed!” (2.485).
Today’s injustice involves the George Zimmerman case, where George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old African American student. The injustice in the case is that George Zimmerman didn’t get charged for the killing of him, even though he did. Therefore there is injustice in Martin Luther King’s letter, Thich Nhat Hanh’s, and especially the George Zimmerman case. Martin Luther King wrote the Clergymen who have written him a letter, claiming that the demonstrations that were being held were “unwise and untimely.” In Martin Luther King’s “Letter to Birmingham Jail”, the injustice is that African Americans were not treated equally to white people. God created each and every person equally, and it certainly didn’t seem that way back then.

The idea of capital punishment shouldn’t even be considered. One of the reasons is the wrong accusations that courts make which cause the life of innocent individuals taken away from them for reason at all. For example, in 1989, Carlos de Luna was killed by lethal injection for the brutal murder of a single mother. Many years later it the cause was further investigated and it was found that Carlos de Luna did not kill the single mother. These types of cases happen frequently; in fact 1 in every 7 people who were executed is innocent.
