Court Hearing This letter is in regards to our two meetings that we have had, which were held on the 18th and 28th of February 2017. As a result of your assault charges, I have outlined some important instructions below that will assist you with your case. Your instructions During our first meeting on the 18th of February, we discussed the events that occurred to you on the 31st of December 2016. At approximately 11:30pm, while you celebrating New Years Eve, Dan Dawson approached you, accusing you of touching his girlfriend inappropriately. You denied these accusations, claiming that you did not touch her at all. Not believing your version of events of the story, Dawson began to walk towards you while you backed away. He allegedly jabbed …show more content…

I advised you on three different ways that you could go about your case. I advised that you could either contest, plead guilty, or most recommended, to request for a lesser charge. You admitted that the consumption of alcohol had taken a toll on your behaviour, and you stated that you would have behaved rationally if you were sober. We touched upon the idea of compensating Mr Dawson for the injuries that you inflicted upon him. I also advised you to get references in order to help you with your mitigation plea. This will help us mitigate the seriousness of your offence, in hope to receive a downgrade charge for your offence. These are very important for you to obtain if you wish to attempt to lower your …show more content…

Firstly, you may deny the assault allegations that have been made against you by Mr Dawson. We went through the witness statements together, and as you know, the prosecution has photo evidence of the assault that you imposed upon Mr Dawson. You may claim that you acted in self-defence, however it will be hard to prove that your actions were a response to danger since Mr Dawson had made no serious contact to the point where your life was put at risk. Making a statement alone that it was self-defence without proof is not sufficient enough to deny these assault charges. There is a high chance that this defence will fail, and the prosecution will then prove that you caused injury intentionally, and you will be imprisoned for up to 10 years

The judge had to consider various factors before sentencing Kieran Loveridge such as social disadvantage, with his upbringing being exposed to crime, physical and verbal abuse and drug and alcohol abuse and his difficulty during his education due to his juvenile activities. The courts also discussed various factors like that Kieran Loveridge did not intend to kill Thomas Kelly, the intoxication state of Kieran Loveridge although his is not a mitigating factor and that it is very unlikely that with rehabilitation Kieran Loveridge will commit another similar crime. Using these factors and a discount of 25% for the guilty plea the judge produced his sentence of 7 years and two months and a non-parole period of 5 years and 2 months. Although for amount of counts of assault and a count of manslaughter the sentence is particularly short considering the discount as well although also considering Loveridge’s social disadvantage due to being exposed to heavy amounts of violence this behaviour does not come as ‘surprising’ although this does not condemn his actions it just merely shows the courts, his need for rehabilitation. In this situation with deep analysis the decisions and sentencing upon Kieran Loveridge were fair, thus achieving justice through

However, during his trial he was found guilty of a general offence and was punished for his actions as he suffered the consequences regarding sexual assault. The Court used two factors to help distinguish whether his crime was either general or specific; 1.

As you can see from the objection letter, I need you to describe everything opposite, diminish its harshness and give the DA nothing to onslaught me as they have done prior—attack that objection letter Counsel, please! ***I remember I did gave a statement that says I participated in the burglaries, but that was the cops sweet talked me with cigarettes and phone calls after a 4 hours ride (Cairo, Illinois to Cook & Kankakee Counties).

Our amplified sense of self importance dictates the way we view others and causes us to forget that everyone views themselves and their existence in the same heightened esteem and makes us think of everyone around us as secondary characters to our own story, rather than the fleshed out main character of their own. Social lines and status, visual and cultural associations, and our own personal experiences, all affect the way we view others and how others view us. When considering social lines and status in this text, there is a clear divide between one group of girls, and another standing off to the side by herself, isolated. The trope of a ‘popular mean girl clique’ exists not only in fiction but is an all too real experience many people are
