There is lots of evidence in the Lizzie Borden murders, but is it enough to say Lizzie Borden killed Mr. and Mrs. Borden? Mr. and Mrs. Borden were killed in their home on August 4th 1892. Their daughter Lizzie Borden was the suspected killer. She was found to be innocent, yet many people still think that Lizzie borden murdered her parents that day. There is a lot of evidence that points to Lizzie being the killer. A lot of things she did and said were very suspicious. Lizzie Borden is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Garry Rainnie stated, “it was about the killing of a human being” (Sheehy 115). Clearly, Rainnie did not deny John was a cruel father, husband and person, however, he still believed Kim should be found guilty of the murder she committed. Rainnie claimed that she killed John out of Jealousy as he was going to leave her for his girlfriend, Karla Sweeting (Sheehy 89). John had asked Karla to marry him four days before his murder occurred. Rainnie used the testimonies of Jennifer and Christopher to ask the harrying question, “why did she not leave,” (Sheehy 93, 101). He also used Jennifer to show the jury that Kim was allowed out of the house. Rainnie stated that as “Kim was not isolated and imprisoned in her home, she was not a “real” battered women. ‘(Sheehy 95) However, his theory was disproven as Dr. Walker, the originator of the ‘Battered Women Syndrome theory” never stated that women must be ‘isolated and

The sentencing of underage criminals has remained a logistical and moral issue in the world for a very long time. The issue is brought to our perspective in the documentary Making a Murderer and the audio podcast Serial. When trying to overcome this issue, we ask ourselves, “When should juveniles receive life sentences?” or “Should young inmates be housed with adults?” or “Was the Supreme Court right to make it illegal to sentence a minor to death?”. There are multiple answers to these questions, and it’s necessary to either take a moral or logical approach to the problem.
The prosecution based their case on what they thought was a string of inconsistent statements Truscott had made, a mysterious abrasion on Truscott’s penis, and evidence that fresh bicycle tracks were found leading to Harper’s body. They also questioned why it was not until a day later that Truscott told police that he saw Harper get into a car on the night of her disappearance. The time of death was also a major contributing factor to conviction, as there were multiple witnesses to testify the timeframe of Harper and Truscott’s hangout. The coroner, Dr. Pennistan, testified that Lynne Harper had died between 7:00 pm and 7:45 pm on June 9th, 1959, this time frame was determined through examination of Harper’s stomach contents by placing them in a glass jar and holding the jar to a window for
Billy Weaver, a young man trying to make a way for himself in the world, was just murdered by a cruel landlady named Edna Perkins. Edna plotted and planned and waited for the right moment to feed unsuspecting Billy Weaver a cup of tea filled with cyanide. Many people are claiming that she was insane and had no idea what she was doing, but how then was she able to plan out every detail, knowing it was wrong, to kill poor Billy Weaver? Edna knew exactly what she was doing, and she did it again and again to the same type of prey, young gentlemen. She understood that she was killing these young men, and that they were dead, yet she still choose to continue with her actions. What crazy woman would be able to plan out, in such detail, a murder so cruel? Edna Perkins should be charged with first degree murder because she knew the difference from right and wrong, and had planned to murder Billy Weaver, Gregory Temple, and Christopher Mulholland as soon as she laid eyes on them, and she never looked back.

JoAnn had been shot a year before the attack that ended her life. In this attack she was shot in the shoulder. No person was arrested for this crime. However, Lynne Mendell’s testimony brought an explanation to the table. Mendell told the Court that when Thatcher came down to Palm Springs a few days after his wife had been shot, he told her he’d rented a car; that he, Thatcher, wore a disguise in order to disguise him and his credentials while attempting to murder his wife. According to Ms. Mendell, he told her: “Gee, I didn't gauge the thickness of the glass so the bullet obviously deflected because I only got her in the shoulder.” She also stated that Thatcher told her he left Regina and ran into roadblocks, he then abandoned the gun, the wig, and the overalls in a field and made his way back to Moose Jaw. This testimony confirms Thatcher made previous attempts on his ex wife’s life, therefore there was a pattern, a motive, and invulnerability because of his previous attempt on her life with no
Late Tuesday night at about 9:30 a Clinton, Missouri police officer named Ryan Morton was fatally shot and two others injured. It’s said that dispatchers sent them to the wrong address while following a 911 call. The call consisted of two women screaming at each other in the background.

Shackelton, too, had been traced via the Monarch Releasing Corporation and admitted, after threats of 'considerable forfeiture', that it was not a real woman who was murdered. It appears that controversy sells tickets.
Michael Sanders, a Professor at Harvard University, gave a lecture titled “Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do? The Moral Side of Murder” to nearly a thousand student’s in attendance. The lecture touched on two contrasting philosophies of morality. The first philosophy of morality discussed in the lecture is called Consequentialism. This is the view that "the consequences of one 's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct.” (Consequentialism) This type of moral thinking became known as utilitarianism and was formulated by Jeremy Bentham who basically argues that the most moral thing to do is to bring the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest number of people possible.
