The Duke lacrosse case implicated criminal actions of: first degree rape, first degree sex offenses’ and kidnapping charges against three Duke University lacrosse players; Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligman and Dean Evans (North Carolina State Bar v. Nifong, 2007,p.18-20). According to Mosteller (2007) the case started with “gang rape allegations” by Crystal Mangum, a black exotic dancer who was also a student at North Carolina Central University on the morning of March 14th, 2006 (p.1337). The alleged rape occurred during the Duke lacrosse teams’ party at 610 North Buchanan Blvd (North Carolina State Bar v. Nifong, 2007,p.1). Suspiciously Mangum could not make any identifications of her attackers even after viewing most Duke lacrosse team members including the names mentioned above and the lacrosse team members who actually lived at 610 North Buchanan Blvd (Mosteller, 2007, p.1407). Mosteller (2007) also mentions that Mike Nifong had to know that
Summary: First off I would like to thank everyone who sends their worries for Elizabeth Key’s sons. After playing the role of Key, I understand why she left a mark in history. It is not only the fact that Key was the first black slave to gain her freedom or the fact that she’s a woman and married to an Englishman, but her strong spirit and unwillingness to give into the faith the whites have planted for her. If Key and her husband had given up when the higher court appealed her petition for freedom, she would not have a lasting impression for the other slaves. The case of Elizabeth Key was not only a big deal to the slaves but to the laws in Virginia as well.

Did Queenie kill her husband Arthur or did he actually fall down the stairs? That was the question that was asked when Queenie returned to her house and ten minutes later called her friends into her house. Queenie claims that, “Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs”(1 “Slip or Trip”). According to the evidence his body is in the wrong position and the glass in his hand shows that he was set up by Quinnie. Therefore, Quinnie did kill her husband Arthur and set it up to look like Arthur had died on his own.
Queenie thought her husband was dead. The autopsy proves that he had a head wound and that he was intoxicated. To begin with, when we arrived at the house i noticed that there was food cooking on the stove. I thought this was very suspicious for 1:30am who just came back from the country club. As a rule, if you see a family member intoxicated on the ground, you would think to not
Along the same lines, Hae’s autopsy report showed that she was face down for at least eight hours right after she was
This was about 4 ½ hours after she was allegedly strangled. However, the report stated that she was laying face down for 10 to 12 hours before that. Those times just don’t match up and make his scenario of what happen impossible.
Dhir Rana Due of how important this subject is, rape must be mentioned. It has appeared several times, including in our books, news broadcasts, newspapers, movies, and court cases. There is a case known as the Massie Affair, based on discussions of court proceedings. In a true court case between 1931 and 1932, a lady claimed that she had been raped in Hawaii.
She was making up lies so, no one would find out what she have done that one night when she drank the blood. So, by her doing that makes me think that she
Glen Ridge Rape Case vs Steubenville Rape Case Victim The victims in both cases are different but have a few similarities in the cases. In the Glen Ridge Rape Case a woman with an intellectual disability was assaulted. This woman who was identified as M.G., was lured into the basement by a group of male athletes that went to the same high school as her. She was known in the community for her disability making her easy to manipulate and there were a few instances where people did take advantage of her disability and convinced her to do things that were wrong and sometimes inappropriate (“The Glen Ridge Rape”,2003).

Watching the “Rape at McDonalds” video was very disturbing. It was shocking to see how all the participants, except for the maintenance man, complied with the bizarre demands of the supposed police, especially Donna Jean Summers. As a manager, she should have known the policies of the company, as a reasonable person, she should had handled the situation in a different way. However, there are some psychological explanations for her behaviors. The law says that we must obey the authority; she believed that she was doing the right thing by following the others given by “the cop” even if the commands were very odd.
1. Case Law (Deuteronomy 13:1-4) 1. If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2. And the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ 3.
