Abel Fields was convicted in 2011, under the Stolen Valor Act of 2006. He was found guilty in the first trial. He then brought his case to the court of appeals which ruled in his favor. Fields argues that it is within his free speech to lie about himself because it did not cause harm to anyone and he did not profit from it. I believe that Abel Fields should not be found guilty and I believe, The Stolen Valor Act, is useless and should not be a part of the law. Abel Fields did not harm anyone in any way what so ever by making the claims that he did, and easy way reverse what he said is to simply point out that he lied. Fields did not profit in any way from making the claims that he did either, therefore he should not have to pay a fine for
Legal Brief for Andrew Carnegie As the prosecutor of Andrew Carnegie, I would like to state the reasons of why Carnegie should be found guilty of being a robber baron. Carnegie’s refusal to raise worker’s pay by 30% after the company’s profited have increased nearly sixty percent lead to one of the most serious strike in the United States history, the Homestead Strike. Carnegie was also a member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, which was blamed for the Johnstown flood that killed over two thousand people. Lastly, Carnegie was one of the many companies that utilized the vertical integration strategy which drove many smaller companies out of business with marketing tactics that were considered unlawful.

In my opinion, Mike Rhodes did wrong on robbing the place, knowing that is a crime so now he would have to pay the consequences that the law gives to him. If Mike doesn’t have enough money to pay for the crime he did he should pay with community service that the judge would have decided instead of giving him a bail that is set for $100,000 it would be fair if he paid less and community service he would
The FBI did not receive a direct match of the print, which allowed them to link the crime to Brandon Mayfield. However, they invaded his privacy, and then used details from his personal life, such as his religious beliefs to associate him with the crime. He can practice any religion that he would like according to the first amendment. He was not trying to advance his religion or attempting to harm anyone, so that should have never been use. Also, they did not have probable cause to link him to the crime.

In the January 29, The Stanford Daily editorial Stanford, California, it debates the different essential of the principle of morality and identified Brock Turner had applied a use of force in raping an unconscious woman behind the dumpster. Furthermore, the young man attended Stanford University and participated in his college swim team dreamt of partaking in the Olympus.

Abel Fields was convicted of violating the stolen valor act. Fields claimed to have achieved the Purple Heart Medal, A very important medal given only for outstanding bravery. Field also claimed to have served in the Military. Neither of Fields claims were true. Fields was sentenced to 1 year in prison.
In the year 2006, the Stolen Valor Act made it illegal to make medals of Honor. The case brought forth to us describes issues brought about by this act. In United States v. Fields, Abel Fields attended a meeting where he proclaimed that he had military experience, and that he earned a Purple Heart. He had made false statements, and in turn was convicted, and had to pay a $1,000 fine. Fields felt that his First Amendment rights had been violated.

There are many characters throughout many of the world’s literary works, who will lie no matter what the outcome is. Author Miller was one of the many authors that wrote about characters that lied throughout the play “The Crucible”. The play depicted the events that happened during the infamous “Witch Trials” that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts. In Arthur Miller’s play, “The Crucible”, Miller conveyed an important idea that although it’s hard, standing up for what you believe in can give you a positive influence in life. Because of the fact that it is sometimes hard to stand for your beliefs, John Proctor first hesitated in what he should do at the end of act IV even though standing for his beliefs can ultimately decide if he lives or dies.
It is fraud, you know it is fraud! What keeps you man?" (Miller 78). Those who were unhappy did not believe the court was protecting the innocent people the way they should. Some members of the community think that the court is not handling the prosecutions correctly and their decisions should be revised.
A comparison between the Due process model and crime control model Within the criminal justice system, there are two competing models: the crime control model and the due process model. These two models were constructed by Robert Packer and each represents a particular school of thought. In managing crime, there is the individual i.e. the suspect and there is the society. The due process model is seen to focus on the suspect whereas the crime control model focuses on the society. This paper analyzes these two models and based on the rate of crime in the society, makes recommendations as to which is the best model in criminal justice.
He then goes on to expand on the consequences of the Basic Argument. He announces that the result of this is "that there is a fundamental sense in which no punishment or reward is ever ultimately just"(221). This would mean it is just as fair to punish or reward people for their actions as it is the color of their hair or face
