Two days later, the body of 27-year-old Nathaniel Cater was found floating downriver, not far from the bridge where Williams had stopped his car. It was determined that the body had been in the river for no longer than 36-48 hours due to extensive water damage. Williams, based on the examination of the splash, was the only person stopped during the month-long stakeout. Williams resembled a composite sketch of the suspect with a bushy Afro sticking out from the side of a baseball cap. The birthmark or scar on his left cheek matched the distinctive description in the sketch also.

It was a very small gesture that led to the Supreme Court case, which changed how the police are able to do their job. Mapp v. Ohio was a case in which the United States had to go against first judgement and question if the decision they made in the first place was a smart one. By ruling in favor of Dolly Mapp the supreme court decided that you need to have a valid search warrant which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. On May 23, 1957 three police officers showed up at Dolly Mapps house to investigate a recent bombing.
When you’re thinking of a person who is psychologically complex, you wouldn’t stumble upon a movie actor, singer or model. Psychologically complex people are those with a past that is unforgettable, those that make you question the world surrounding and the sanity of oneself. And child wouldn’t necessarily be your first thought. A girl whom was born in the late 1950s became the most notorious serial killer in history by being the youngest.
It’s scary how fear can take the place of everything else in someone’s mind, even a person’s sense of judgement. Fear changed the life of a former SEAL trainee. Dustin Turner, (also known as Dusty) and Billy Joe Brown were accused and convicted of murdering Jennifer Evans in Virginia on June 19, 1995 at a nightclub. Many people see this tragic night differently, but the truth is, only those three-people witnessed this and only two are alive to tell their stories. Sadly, two people aren’t always going to have one same situation.
It is on December 6, 1989 that Marc Lepine committed an horrible attack. He entered the Polytechnique University in Montreal with the minding to kill as many women as possible. The motivations for a mass murderer can range from revenge to hatred and from loyalty to greed; the victims can be selected individually, as member of a particular category or group or, least often, on a purely random basis (Hickey,2003,p.297). In the case of Lepine, he was targeting women, which for him, were studying in a field meant for men, engineering. In total, he killed 14 women and committed suicide on this date.

Nowadays, civilians live in a world in which individuals are praised for their bravery and heroism. Many put themselves and their lives at stake, in order to help another. These people are idolized and recognized around the world, such as, Malala Yousafzai, Martin Luther King Junior, and the firefighters in the 9/11 scene. Unfortunately, majority of inhabitants on this Earth remain bystanders when exposed to stressful situations; rather than intervening and becoming a so called "hero". Many people do not respond and fight in emergency situations, like how Yousafzai fought for equality in education among genders, causing her a bullet to the face.
When people think about murder, they usually don’t think that it will ever be them. But murder can take other forms. For example, taking someone’s life is an unfair advantage because what did they do to deserve for someone to take their life. Certainly, the people do not care what happens to other people they do not try to help them. As a citizen, I never experienced someone being murder or saw anyone get murdered.
