About nine months later, after he had turned 18, he was tried and sentenced to death. There is little doubt that Simmons was the instigator of the crime. Before its commission Simmons said he wanted to murder someone. In chilling, callous terms he talked about his plan, discussing it for the most part with two friends, Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer, then aged 15 and 16 respectively.…

    Today, there are only three different countries一Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran, who sentence the death penalty to people that have yet to turn eighteen. Before the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Roper v. Simmons, the United States used to be on that list. After the Supreme Court’s decision, anyone who was on death row for crimes that they had committed prior to turning eighteen were put off death row. Instead, they were sentenced to life without parole. No Choirboy written by Susan Kuklin, looks into five different stories of people who were affected by the death penalty in the United States prior to the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision.…

    In the United States of America’s Pledge of Allegiance, it is stated that there is “… liberty and justice for all” (????). Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal” (???). And yet, throughout U.S. history, blacks have endured slavery, segregation, mob attacks, discrimination, and injustice simply because of their race. “Race, the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences” (Race). “The number of reported incidents of police brutality and excessive force toward Black men could very easily lead one to believe that the Black man may be American law enforcement’s worst nightmare”…

    In the Charles Cullen case, I do feel all hospitals should be liable. It is their duty to screen their medical staff, ensure proper training as well as maintain compliance with state regulatory mandates.

St. Barnabas suspected him, they could have stopped him early in his career taking his nursing license due to his indiscretions at their facility, but the did not. Throughout the book we see Cullen had no problem getting a position once he was let go from a previous.…

    Marin Sinzer Case Study

    While the “criminal is a child” approach to the juvenile justice system is appealing due to its forgiving nature and emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment, there are some cases in which this decision is not so cut-and-dry. One of these instances of a legal “gray area” is the case of Marin Sinzer, who was charged for the murder of Tammy Shevin, 25 years after the crime was committed. The now 38 year old is petitioning to be tried as a juvenile, since he was only 13 at the time of the crime, a year younger than the waiver age at the time. While many proponents of the “criminal is a child” approach take that stance because of the physical and psychological dangers posed to juveniles who are placed in adult prisons, in this unique…

In one case, Anthony Rolon was 17 years old when he committed a crime. He was helping his father with selling drugs but a party next doors got really loud.…

    Deep, dark secrets are not an aspect of life that came to age with 21st century technology. However, through the modern medium of the World Wide Web, there has been a new cultural phenomenon called “PostSecret,” which provides people a window to anonymously share their secrets. This phenomenon began in 2005 when Frank Warren initiated an art project that welcomed people to anonymously mail him their secrets on postcards. Since 2005, on every Sunday Warren has released new batches of secrets so that the PostSecret Community is able to go online and view other people’s secrets. While I argue that this community does not have a finite amount of community members, there is clear evidence of its great following.…
