The victim was Christine Jessop, a nine-year-old girl from Ontario, Canada. She was found murdered in a field about fifty kilometres from where she lived.

The first question tests the reader’s ethics by making them think about how serious a child’s death is to them, and if they could think of anything worse. The second question uses pathos to invoke desperation and sorrow for those who have experienced a situation where they were helpless and could not protect someone, specifically an innocent child. Hunter’s word choice, such as “heart-wrenching” and “absolute helplessness” help to convey this feeling. He successfully captures the reader’s attention by beginning the article in this way.

Although it was evident the witnesses continued to hear screaming throughout the duration of the murder, none were willing to get involved. It was not until after the ambulance left with Miss Genovese’s body that “the people came out” (Gansberg,31). Ignoring a situation when another person’s life is at stake is almost

Basic scientists are individuals who prefer to study occurrences in order to gather a better understanding to satisfy their curiosity. This process doesn’t resolve in answering the question but rather gaining the knowledge (Greene & Heilbrun, 2014). The basic scientists’ role in law enforcement is to conduct “research on the relationship between social attitudes and behavior can clarify why people obey or disobey the law” (Greene & Heilbrun, 2014).

Anyone can end up in Todd Willingham’s place; anyone, even you or someone you might know, can have their life seized away from them under the title of justice due to the ignorance of the system in understanding how evidence should be interpreted and due to the gullibility that makes people believe almost anything they hear. So, despite the capital punishment being only issued if the suspect was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, a question remains unanswered: In a system where science and pseudoscience are indistinguishable, how can one define reasonable doubt? Yes, there should be punishments to deter crimes; but, we should also acknowledge the fact that science says there is nothing called reaching the truth- there is only approaching it. So for the sake of that asymptote, we should bear in mind J.R.R Tolkien’s saying (1954)

Is a patient lying in a hospital bed on a ventilator, brain dead to the world but the lungs still breathing and heart still pumping, alive or dead? Or neither? If neither, what are they? Is there a label to give them or are they just unlabeled? Do they exist if you can’t give them a label?
