On the second night of March in 2016 in the quaint city of Burlington, Iowa, the body of 16-year-old Kedarie Johnson was found stuffed in an alley with two gunshots to the chest, a plastic bag shoved down his throat, and a bottle of bleach by his side.

The Victim and His Murderers: Context A “popular junior, known for his infectious laugh and dazzling grin,” (Davey, 2017) Kedarie was an admired member of his community whose sudden death shook the inconsequential city he’d lived in. His family moved from the West Side of Chicago in hopes of a better future to the predominantly white area.

In the past, have you ever been accused of something you never did and gotten in trouble for it? For example the old saying “whoever smelt it dealt it” or when one of your siblings does something but blames it on you so that you get in trouble and they don’t. Well this is what happened with Adnan Syed. Adnan was accused of murdering his ex girlfriend Hae Min Lee on January 13, 1999. I think that Adnan is innocent of all these accusations made against him and someone pinned the murder on him so they can get away with the crime that they committed.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore gives her definition of racism as the “state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death in distinct but densely interconnected political geographies”. While this may seem difficult to understand, the best way to grasp her definition is through comparison to a real world situation, such as the infamous Massie rape trial and consequential murder of Joseph Kahahawai. The alleged rape of a white woman in Hawai’i, Thalia Massie, and her family’s murder of native Joseph Kahahawai captured nationwide attention in 1931. Not only does this case show how America’s racial hierarchy
