Today marks the 80th anniversary of the devastating Supreme Court case of Palko v. Connecticut[1] in which the Supreme Court held that the 5th amendment right against Double Jeopardy did not apply to state courts.

The Case[4] The case behind Palko perhaps explains the Courts dim view. Late one evening in 1935, Frank Palko[5] broke into a music store in Fairfield County Connecticut[6] , stole a phonograph and fled the scene on foot. Mr. Palko was quickly cornered by a police officer who he shot and killed.

Anthony Lewis’ narrative in Gideon’s Trumpet has served as one of the most important law related occurrences. The nonfiction book is written in the third person perspective in order to provide a detailed and thorough overview of the law practices during the time of the case. The book specially focuses on the Supreme Court’s thought of governing leading up to the case, Gideon vs Wainwright, as well as the case itself. The case involves Clarence Gideon’s fight for his right to have an attorney in order to defend him in court. This written recollection has given an overlying theme to the entire book: the right to justice.

I chose to write about the San Antonio sexual scandal committed by Staff Sergeant Luis Walker in 2011. I decided to write about this one because this one stood out to me the most, it hit and connected some emotions of mine and my opinion on this particular case is very strong. Staff Sgt. Walker sexually assaulted Ms. Messick in 2011 in training, but she did not report it until later after she left the air force because she was scared of what would happen to her if she reported it sooner. Once she notified the proper people at Lackland air force there were nine other females that came forward about their cases also.

Military Leader George S. Patton Adaptive leadership is the drive to find ways to approach complex situations. Adaptive leaders are able to create cultural norms, great plans and expectations that cause positive transformation to occur.

Patton, reason being he was able to create new ideas that were able to drive incredible outcomes in a crucial time. On November 11th, 1885 the hardnosed man General George S. Patton was born.
Comments The unanimity of this court decision was significant in the sense that Nixon’s presidency was recognized by the public as corrupt, especially after the ruling was determined. Because this was the first case of its kind that addressed the legitimacy of Executive privilege within other branches of government, it set a precedent for future decisions regarding the division of power. The President’s exclusive abilities should not be allowed to impact the judicial process in any way, as that would be an abuse of power. Although there are always going to be aspects of government affairs that should not be addressed openly, such as matters of national
On the morning of June 13th, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found dead outside Ms. Brown’s home in West LA. The items left behind on the scene were a black leather glove, bloody footprints, and drops of blood that did not belong to either of the victims. That same day, the LAPD brought OJ Simpson, Ms. Brown’s football-star ex-husband, in for three hours of questioning and concluded that he would be a key suspect in the case. His trial lasted nine months and came to the end result that Mr. Simpson was innocent, and he walked free. This infuriated the vast majority of the American people, but for the small remainder excluded from them, it was a fair outcome.

Wainwright illustrated the importance of personal rights guaranteed by the constitution. This case began when Clarence Gideon was denied a court appointed lawyer to represent him in a petty crime case. Gideon, unable to afford his own lawyer, was unable to adequately defend himself and consequently was convicted. However, he was undeterred. Gideon then wrote a letter to the Supreme Court to overturn this conviction with the 6th Amendment as his evidence of the court’s misconduct.
