Earlier this week, Wade Jamison was fatally shot in his home. The people who are allegedly responsible for this horrific crime are Melvin Simms, R.W. Simms, and Harlan Granger. The Simms brothers carried out the crime, while Mr. Granger paid them a large sum of money to do so. It is thought that the brothers broke into Mr. Jamison’s house around 1:00 A.M. Wednesday morning and tried to shoot Mr. Jamison while he was sleeping. When Mr. Jamison woke up and fought back, the Simms brothers fatally shot him with the gun that T.J. Avery allegedly stole from the Barnetts. Harlan Granger’s suspected motive to kill was the Logan Land. Since the land originally belonged to his family, he resents the Logans and believes that he deserves the land. It
Between the years 1979 and 1981, Wayne Williams is suspected to be the murderer of more than 20 youthful boys, although, he was only convicted of killing two adults both in Atlanta, Georgia. Even 30 years after his trail, there is still some debate and doubt, on whether or not he was Atlanta’s serial killer. After watching, Atlanta Child Murders, it’s believable Wayne Williams committed and caused the majority of these tragic deaths. By continuing to read, you will gather textual evidence as to why I believe Wayne William is guilty. To begin with, Eric Middlebrooks was the first victim to the Atlanta child murders.
Jordan Bratton made a Twitter post on April 13th that he was going to “kill tonight and shut up the critics once and for all.” The prosecution can use this evidence to show that Jordan Bratton had a motive for killing Preston Balmen and given the quantity and types of evidence, they can try to persuade jurors that the findings of the investigation were not coincidental. They must convince jurors beyond a reasonable doubt that Jordan Bratton was responsible
On October 3, 1974, at around 10:45 pm, Elton Hymon and Leslie Wright of the Memphis Police Department were responding to a “prowler on the inside” call. They made the scene and observed a woman in the house next to the intended home of the call. She was standing on her front porch pointing at the house.

Dennis Rader—self-proclaimed the “BTK Killer”—is a serial killer responsible for ten murders in Wichita, Kansas from 1974 to 1991. Rader’s childhood seemed normal, and he lived a relatively average life as an adult. He blended into his community as a government employee, church leader, and Boy Scout troop leader. This seemingly picturesque life allowed him to execute his killings without initial suspicion. He murdered various people through selection, stalking, and finally killing them in their homes.

The hunt for the Clutters’ killers, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, mesmerized the nation and left a lasting impact in Kansas, drawing journalists from across the country to the rural outpost on the Kansas prairie (Huffington Post). An unremarkable New York Times article, which was considerably small and short, at approximately 300 words, grabbed viewers and drew the audience. The column reported the Clutter family murder in the tiny farm town of Holcomb, Kansas on the Great Plains. “Popular headlines surrounding the Clutter family murders were often along the lines of ‘Wealthy Farmer, 3 Of Family Slain” with a photo of Herb Clutter which left residents in shock and dismay that a horrific crime marred the serene and presumably safe landscapes
Emily Decius Sociology 361 Term Paper November 16, 2017 Of the many serial killers that have terrorized the nation throughout history, there are a few that stand out from the rest, one being Theodore Bundy. He became much more famous than others, and his story is rather interesting but has been constantly changed and promoted by the media. In total, it is estimated that Bundy murdered anywhere between 36 to 100+ victims, and there are still many bodies that have not been found (Sullivan, 2009). Bundy had always seemed to be a somewhat normal person through his younger years, and it seemed to most people like he would be successful in life (Sullivan, 2009). He excelled in school, attended college, and at one point even enrolled in law school (Sullivan, 2009).
In the early 1990’s the U.S. Supreme Court case Roper v. Simmons took place and at the same time cases that were similar were also being heard. This case involved the defendant Christopher Simmons, who commited the crime, and Donald P. Roper, the plaintiff, who was the superintendent of Potosi Correctional Center and was representing the state of Missouri. The case would never have happened if it wasn't for the actions of 17-year old Christopher Simmons of Missouri in 1993. Simmons and a couple of his friends concocted a plan to murder Shirley Crook for reasons unknown. Only Simmons and one of his two friends commited it burglarizing Crook’s residence, binding her up and then driving to a state park and throwing her full of life body off
For the Application of the Criminal Justice System project of the Criminal Justice course, I chose the arrest of John Burke. This case is about the arrest and sentencing of John Burke who had shot and killed Joseph Ronan. Twenty-five year old John Burke agreed to meet with 22 year old Joseph Ronan at Ronans home, in Reading, Massachusetts on Monday, August 15, 2011 around 1pm, with the intent of purchasing Percocet pills. (Boston.com, 2013) However, shortly after entering Ronans home, Burke opened fire (News, 2011), and after shooting Joseph Ronan several times, with the belief that Ronan was involved in a robbery at Burkes apartment in April 2011 (Boston.com, 2013), fled the home.
This article has great viewpoints, use of argumentative reasoning, and shows what truly happens in the hallways of a school shooting. The main person he explains is Eric Harris, who killed over two-thousand students and faculty in a Colorado high school in 1998. He set off bombs all over the school and used a semi-automatic
“I thought Mr.Clutter was a very nice gentleman. I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat," these are the exact words quotes by Perry Smith when confiding in his friend Truman Capote. These are not the words of a remorseful man. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock invaded the Clutter family home looking for fortune they heard the family had. Only finding way less than half of the amount they thought, this enraged Perry.
