Azaria Chamberlain disappearance Essays

The case was the mysterious disappearance of an infant girl, 9 week old Azaria Chamberlain. There was no body, no eyewitnesses, no motive and no confession. In order to make its case, the prosecution relied on erroneous forensic science and flawed expert witness testimony. In 1982 the initial trial, based almost exclusively on expert witness testimony, resulted in the baby’s mother, Lindy Chamberlain, being convicted of murder while the father, Michael Chamberlain, was found guilty

Lindy Chamberlain and her husband Michael were both born in New Zealand. They were married on 19 November, 1969. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Tasmania where they lived for 5 years. During that time, their first child Aiden was born in 1973.

Zweig is believed to have written this book as a parallelism of Hitler’s dictatorship in Germany (without any explicit word on Adolf Hitler) so that he could tell his contemporaries how

An issue that resonates across cultures is racism. Racism is a major deal in all types of cities and states even sports. Even though slavery ended 1865 there are still racism around the world and throughout sports. Racism isn’t a certain color you can be any color and be racist. In my opinion no one is born racist, it’s the way they were raised basically the culture that they were born into.
