On Tuesday, 08/02/2016, I, Deputy Stacy Stark #1815, received a telephone call from the victim, Cara M. Morrison (F/W, DOB: 09/27/1989). Morrison called to report she went to Midwest Cash located at 1200 W. Main St. Carbondale, Illinois to pawn another television she owned for cash. While at Midwest Cash, she recognized her stolen television advertised for sale. Morrison did not have the serial number of the television she reported stolen on 07/29/2016, so she was unable to verify to the clerk the television was hers. Morrison remembered she used the stolen television for collateral at a local cash loan business in the past. Morrison went to the cash loan business and was able to retrieve the identifiers on her television, including the serial number. The day Morrison was returning to Midwest Cash to verify the television was hers, she brought along her boyfriend, Rodney J. Tully (M/W, DOB: 05/26/1988). Prior to arriving at Midwest Cash, Tully told Morrison they were …show more content…

Morrison said she did not. Morrison only wanted to get her television back from Midwest Cash after she located the serial number. Morrison stated Tully had a child and did not want produce any hardship for the child’s sake. I advised Morrison I could not retrieve her television from Midwest Cash if she did not want to sign a complaint, but she could purchase the television from Midwest Cash if she wanted it back. Morrison stated the television’s selling price was $90.00. Morrison was not able to purchase the television so she changed her mind and said she would sign a complaint. I asked Morrison when I could meet with her. Morrison stated she was on her way to work and would be off duty at 1230 hours. I told Morrison to call the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office when she was off duty and I would meet her to retrieve the television identifiers and a signed complaint. Morrison agreed. I never heard back from

  • Bridget Bishop Case

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.

    The Casey Anthony case was one that captured the heart of thousands and made it to the headline of national TV talk shows, newspapers, radio stations and social media networks for months. The root of the case was due to a clash between the parental responsibilities, the expectations that went with being a parent, and the life that Casey Anthony wanted to have. The case was in respect to the discovering the cause of Casey’s two-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony’s, death; however the emphasis was placed on Casey and her futile lies, which resulted in a public outcry. The purpose of this essay is to delve into the public atmosphere and inquire about why the media and social media collectively attacked the case by uncovering the content of the case, the charges that were laid, and later dismissed, the “performers” of the trial and the publics reaction. It will further discuss how it defies universal ideologies and how the media represents this. The discussion of the complexities of the case and its connotations will incorporate Stuart Hall’s Representation and the Media, Robert Hariman’s Performing the Laws, What is Ideology by Terry Eagleton, The Body of the Condemned by Michael Foucault, and a number of news articles, which will reveal disparate ideas of representation in the media, and the role of the performers of the law and their effect on the understanding of the case.
