(INTRODUCTION)Did you ever have a love one who was innocent but still served time for no reason all because he or she was in the wrong place at the wrong time or just the main suspect of a crime because he or she fit the description a witness provided. I go to a school in West Fargo and I’m a junior haven’t really seen unjust in my life to anyone I know. But read multiple articles on unjust sentence to people and wrote multiple paragraphs on the cases I read 24 to be exact. The article included lawyers view the innocent victim view and also the witness view after the trail. (Reason)people are sent to jail over speculations and evidence that don't connect to the victim of the crime.

The prosecutor of the case had argued that Cyntoia should receive life without parole due to the severity of the case. She is serving her sentence at the Tennessee Prison for Women. Cyntoia’s life in prison was particularly harsh due to the fact that she was in an adult penitentiary when she was only 16 years old. She wa involved in harsh activity with other prisoners and dealt with the harsh reality of prison life. When Cyntoia gets out, if she gets out, she will have to readjust to a normal life because she is coming from a prison life because she will live the majority of her life in prison.

Todd Willingham's Conviction Process One day Cameron Todd Willingham woke up to his house on fire that involved three deaths who were his children.(I need to start my intro sentence differently) Willingham was then prosecuted to death sentence of starting the fire with a motive to kill his children. The investigation involved professionals and eyewitness testimonies in order to conclude that Willingham was guilty but unfortunately there were many flaws to the investigation. The criminal justice system is not perfect and I blame the people involved in the system and the system itself. (I feel like there is something missing in my intro paragraph)

Three Kansas City police score unit officer’s Jeffrey M. Bell, Dustin Sillings, and Darryl M. Forrest were charged with theft of federal government property, conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of the law. The Kansas City police officer were caught by FBI (Federal bureau of Investigation). The Kansas City police officers stole several items and cash in a house that had surveillance cameras during a staged sting operation. The type of situation always makes people wonder what would make these people want to do something like this? Why would the officers discarded their commitment to the city to protect and serve as they swore to do so?

The most important issue that must be addressed in this case is the principle of the “evolving standards of decency” and the uses of a national consensus. The “evolving standards of decency” were developed by Trop v. Dulles and have been implemented in one way or another in all of the precedents dealing with “cruel and unusual” punishment. It is important to treat these principles as an important aspect of “cruel and unusual” punishment jurisprudence, therefore turning from these set of principles would be foolish and a disregard for every precedent. However, it is important to acknowledge that each case satisfies the standards by using a different method; some use the presence or lack of state legislature as a judgment of consensus while others look at foreign countries.

Modern sentencing practices are outrageous and out of control. People go to prison for 162 years for stealing a car or 25 to life just for simply making a mistake of leaving their child in the car for no longer than 20 minutes without killing or harming the child. Even the innocent get sentenced major years for crimes they didn’t even commit. Lately sentencing has been crazy, so at this point in time sentence reforming is relevant in this case. To begin with, sentence reforming needs to take place because people are getting way to many years for petty crimes they didn't commit.

It had been claimed that Ned Kelly had taken up arms in April 1878 for the intention of shooting police but as six months had passed since the alleged shooting of Constable Fitzpatrick (who would later be dismissed from the police force as a liar, drunkard and perjurer) and the Stringybark Creek tragedy, there was not a robbery or any other offence reported of having been committed by Ned or his brother Dan. After his mother was convicted (and two innocent men) for aiding and abetting in the shooting of Constable Fitzpatrick, (Judge Barry sentenced Ned to fifteen years gaol without a trial?) Ned returned (was Ned involved?) with the intention of working a still to make whisky, as it was the only means to obtain money quickly to procure a new

Reports the Arizona Republic, the son of GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons is charged for a stint in prison for a July domestic assault on his girlfriend. Robert Sean Parsons was 44 years old when he was sentenced on Friday to 4 months in prison and 3 years' ordeal for the incident at his Scottsdale home, though complying with terms of his ordeal could decrease prison time by 3 months, in which he confessed to grasping the woman's throat, suffocating her, and punching her after she faced him about texts from other women. She was admitted to the hospital twice. The Maricopa County said; "We believe that the sentence is appropriate to send a message to the defendant, there are outcomes for his actions.

Your honor, it is so hard to think of a resolution to this situation considering how many ‘what-if’s’ there are or could be. All I can hear in my head is April saying, “It’s okay, accidents happen”. But the truth is, this accident could have been prevented. Thomas Burns made the choices that lead to the accident. His choices of getting in that boat, driving under the influence, and going 40 MPH on a very dangerous lake.

Not From the Mind Punishments for crime and bad behavior have been seen in different ways with some thinking we should be lenient and not give criminals hard times, while others thought that a more severe, brutal punishments to truly emphasis right from wrong. The articles “Time to Assert American Values” by an editor from The New York Times and “Rough Justice A Caning in Singapore Stirs Up a Fierce Debate About Crime and Punishments” by Alejandro Reyes both describe the trial of a teenage boy from the United States who was caught vandalizing in Singapore. Both authors of the articles examine in great detail, the punishments that the young boy should receive for his crime with both articles contradicting each other. After carefully analyzing

Partisanship and Misconceptions Introduction The saying “the pen is mightier than the sword” is widely known and referenced. However, contrary to popular belief, actions may speak louder than words. This rings true in the case of Michelle Carter, this specific case has been a reoccurring debate, in terms of whether Michelle Carter should be found guilty or not guilty for the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III.

Justice Breyer, you, should fight to grant certiorari on this case. This is a capital punishment case that shows the risk inherent in having such a penalty. By clinical definition Lizcano would be considered intellectually disabled, however, under Texas law and the use of Briseno factors Lizcano is eligible for execution. This would be a good case for you to take up because; although, it will not completely eradicate capital punishment you will be able to help lessen the number of people who are given the punishment of death. It will also provide a solid argument against the death penalty and the arbitrariness with which it is applied.

The trial judge imposed the death penalty. Simmons age was not disregarded as a mitigating factor but instead it was considered an aggravating factor. The prosecutor stated; “Age, he says. Think about age. Seventeen years old.

After carrying out this work of death counseling he has been many times represented in court but despite of many efforts of the opponent lawyers he gets exonerated. He continues his work and has helped over 100 patients to end their lives. Jack has risked his life and energy to change the laws and challenge society’s attitude towards right to die. Here the argument arises that despite many efforts of Jack, at last the court has announced him 10 to 25 years of death. This according to me was wrong decision.
