The suspect of the two rapes was known to smoke cigarettes, wear white gloves, ride a bike, use a knife, wear shoes that had rubber soles, and have a flashlight. When Ronald Cotton went into the police station to start things out, they took the knife that he always carried out from his front right pocket. Once Detective Gauldin started to question him, Ron told Gauldin that he smoked Newports, which is a type of cigarette. After he was questioned multiple times, they showed him a pair of black canvas World Cup shoes. He said that his shoes insoles were falling apart, but they weren’t that beaten up when the police showed them to him. They then showed him a piece of material that came from his shoe, which was left in Jennifer Thompson’s apartment. After that, they then showed him a red flashlight and accused him of taking batteries from Mary’s house, the other rape

The funeral for the two victims was held on June 16th, 1994. O.J attended the funerals along with Nicole Simpson’s family and Ronald Goldman’s family. Shortly after, on June 17th, O.J was arrested and charged with first degree murder. Simpson immediately pleaded “100% not guilty’” on July 22nd, and the trial officially began on July 24th, 1994 (Linder 1). Because the jury was made up of mostly blacks, many outsiders believed that it would affect final decision of the jury. “O.J is free and so are we!” and “Live with it!” Were many of the comments blurted out during the many days of the trial (Elias 22). Judge Lance A was assigned to the case.
I’m sure that there are many reasons why the defendant does not take the stand and testify like not wanting to reveal all of their evidence that they may need for trial, or the defendant risks incriminating themselves by saying the wrong thing on the stand. However, in this case an African American male, age sixty-five was accused of punching his girlfriend at the time, in the stomach cases her ribs to break. However, he alleged that she was drunk and tried to fight him, which led to him pushing her really hard into a recliner chair that was in his bedroom. To be honest both of them sounded really compelling as to what happened the night in question. The victim in the case, was a very petite woman who looked fragile to touch. She looked as if she could have been in her sixties as well. The entire case was sad and he seemed remorseful for what he did to her. However, in domestic violence cases period, it is hard for me to decide which side is lying or telling the truth. If it wasn’t for Judge Deleon’s probing questions, I may really be
Jerry Sandusky seemed obviously guilty to most people, but certain details of the case may have caused dispute between the jurors. Kevin Johnson, author of “Sandusky Jury Hears Testimony”, stated, “The first of the eight victims said he suffered for five years of being forced into about fifty sexual encounters by Sandusky. Now twenty-eight, the witness said his interactions with Sandusky escalated from friendly tips and ‘soap battles’ in the showers of a Penn State locker room to inappropriate touching, then in 1997 veered into dozens of incidents of oral sex” (1). Along with the first boy, others came forward and admitted to being victims of Sandusky’s abuse, and they all had similar stories. People later came forward and admitted to seeing Sandusky performing these acts, but failed to report them. An instance of this happening occurred when “a janitor admitted to seeing Sandusky sexually offending a young boy in the locker room, but did not report it at the time” (Johnson “Sandusky Abuse Trial Moves Quickly” 1). Because the janitor did not report what he saw at this time, it weakened the credibility of his testimony. Another controversial point was brought about during the trial. I...

I have wanted Kobe Bryant’s line of shoes for a while. The first time I saw the Kobe 9s (the 9th generation of the shoe) I absolutely fell in love. They just looked perfect they weren’t crazy, ugly or anything like that they just look extremely nice, but at the same time they still looked cool. Specifically the ones I loved were pink and black. I’d decided that I was going to buy a pair of them once I got the money. Finally Christmas rolled around and I ended up with $165. I started looking for a new pair of shoes and by then the 10th generation of the Kobes came out. I really liked those also. Eventually I found ones that were very similar to the pink and black Kobe 9s I love(ed) so much. They were at Champs for $160 from

Two former Vanderbilt football players face the possibility of decades in prison. Corey Batey and Thomas Thurman were the two perpetrators that were captured raping a woman on video that had done viral. Corey Batey was known to be a hard drinker and had many easy hook ups at Vanderbilt University, in which he violated the in multiple ways and urinated on her. The other perpetrator was Brandon Vandenburg, who briefly dated the woman who was raped. Brandon was “not accused of touching the woman sexually, but was found guilty for being the ringleader, gave condoms and egged others on, voice heard on video, instructing them, and laughing” (Blinder, Alan, and Richard PÉrez-peÑa). Security camera images found the men carrying an unconscious woman into a dormitory room. “Several people knew of the assault, but failed to report it” (Blinder, Alan, and Richard PÉrez-peÑa), therefore bystanders need to speak up to consequent the perpetrators. Thomas Thurman, prosecutor in this case, said alcohol was an excuse football players had fallen back on and “these young men appeared to think they were entitled because they were athletes and rules didn’t apply.” Before the case even went to trial, the men were expelled. Another rape case that is very recent is with a Louisville basketball
