R. V. Bann - Verdict Rationale In the case of R. V. Bann, Bobbie Bann, the defendant, was charged with second-degree murder. Around the 14th day of June, the year 2015, in the City of Mariposa in the County of Missinaba, Mr.Bann committed second-degree murder on Fallon King, who was in the bathroom when she killed by gunshots.

A review of the events involving the North Charleston, S. Carolina Whitlee Jones murder case as it applies to the Tennessee “stand your ground” statute brings several factors into question. As indicated in the article, South Carolina’s law as does Tennessee’s states that a person having reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm can use deadly force on the unlawful intruder. However, this does not apply to a lawful resident or a person who has a legal right to be in the dwelling, business, or auto (Knapp, 2014). As Jones indicates she removes herself from the danger on several occasions, yet she continues to return, placing herself once again in position to receive serious injury or death from her boyfriend who is legally occupying the

Peggy Beckstrand, deputy District attorney, sent her to adult court, but later reversed her decision once Judge Dorn got to her (Humes, 1996). Keesha did get the help she need, but it could have ended her up in prison. These kids went through everything just to have someone tell them they will either end up in prison or the cemetery. Judge Dorn might have thought that would have helped, but it just made them feel worse about themselves. Those kids needed encouragement, love, and help.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, A 16 year old boy Johnny Cade was attacked by a car full of socs. Later on he and his best friend, Ponyboy Curtis, were attacked by the same Socs again leading to Johnny killing Bob Sheldon. In this case, Johnny Cade is not justified in what he did and is guilty. Johnny is claimed guilty for the murder because he wanted revenge against Bob, he could have only easily injured Bob, and he and Pony fled from the crime scene and got a gun from Dally.
In my opinion it seemed as though the police had a bias coming into the case, which is not right. Even though they were imprisoned the case was again opened up and there was an agreement that was reached with the West Memphis Three. Eventually there was an agreement that was reached that would finally give the men freedom that they had been waiting for. There was a plea agreement reached with the men.
Not calling 911 and hiding the body was morally and criminally wrong. The lack of remorse bothered me as an utter disregard for her dead daughter and selfishness unparalleled. I believe that the prosecution’s putting the death
All actions can be rationalized so long as they are done for the sake of justice. For the definition of justice is up to the definer. In the novel All the King’s Men violence and vengeance constitute justice. Through actions of violence, one can receive vengeance, and as a result of this justice can be obtained. Warren explores the theme of justice and reveals how it is perverted by greed, for out of one’s selfish desires comes violence; violence which is see as redemption, but also characterizes irrationality, suggesting that the meaning of justice is in the eye of the beholder

There are many forms of revenge and there are many views on whether it is right or wrong and whether or not it can make someone feel better. In the article “Revenge: Will You Feel Better?”, Karyn Hall Ph.D. explains how no matter how powerful urge is to get revenge on someone because they have wronged you, the outcome usually only makes both subjects involved feel much worse. She explains how all revenge is rooted in anger and sadness. Hall makes the conclusion that “Maybe the purpose of revenge is in preventing certain hostile actions....”, meaning that if one gets revenge on another, it is possible that he or she has just intimidated the other enough to not repeat the same action that made him get revenge in the first place. Hall also believes
In January of 1926, the Public Assemblages Act made it legal to separate whites and blacks in public halls, theaters, opera houses, and motion picture shows. The final Acts beginning in 1928 attempted to fix the definition of racial definitions. It redefined colored as anyone who has any ascertainable degree of negro blood, any negro blood in their ancestry.

We were told that this theory is too broad because it explains everything and yet explains nothing. The question of which came first the chicken, or the egg conception is the same of learning is too simplistic. Do we truly learn from those who are closest to us who else can we learn from?
