Summary Of The Sarah Johnson Case

Decent Essays
As far as the verdict decision, I completely agree. First, Sarah was not willing to admit what happened to her parents. If she actually committed the murders, then should would obviously be guilty. Sarah would not confirm or deny that she committed the crime; I felt as though she was withholding information. Her fiancé could have committed the crime but because she wants to protect him rather than give her own family members closure she should have to deal with the consequences.
I would classify Sarah Johnson, as a dangerously antisocial parricide offender. Sarah’s parents never showed any form of abuse, in fact he brother claims that they treated her like a princess. Sarah had strong feelings for her fiancé and when her Dad got in between

    What emotional intelligence qualities allowed Amy Cuddy to be successful after the accident? Of course having her IQ decreased as a consequence of a car accident did not make Amy Cuddy’s life any easier. Sometimes, if not always, life does not work the way we want; the answer a person with a very high IQ might have then is just not the right one to solve the problem and to make things work again as planned. When all that happens, the successful goal one meant to achieve, if everything occurred as planned, will just not be achieved.…

    In the case of Cindy Countess, I was debating on two out of the four offenders types that she could be classified as: severely mentally ill or enraged parricide offender. There are characteristics of both that Countess falls under. I would say that severely mentally ill fits her best because of her past. As Countess grew older she showed signs of mental illness like her mother and had visited mental health institutions many times. She wasn't able to keep her emotions stable and after being in a psychiatric hospital for eight days she was prescribed Paxil for her depression.…

    Months before this court case, people were saying, “Casey Anthony who?” Then the media portrayed it as a much bigger deal than it really is. Everyday someone gets murdered and the media chooses this one case and provide an unfair bias against Casey Anthony and basically brainwashing the public into thinking that Casey Anthony is a senseless, guilty murderer. Although some might say that the Jury made the right decision on the case because of the lack of evidence of the actual conviction of Casey Anthony. Media sources that say the jury did the right thing state that there is no reason to be prejudiced against evidence simply because it is circumstantial evidence.…

However, our world runs under a consequentialist standard because we only view what has happened, and therefore we must also give the final verdict of this case as viewed under a consequentialist perspective. Ben and Sarah are both guilty and must bear responsibility.…
