On August 2, 2009 around 2:30 p.m., David Riley, an alleged member of the Lincoln Park gang, was parked in a San Diego neighborhood with his girlfriend and three other men. When a member of a rival gang, Mr. Webster, drove through the nearby intersection, the three men near Riley’s car fired multiple shots into Mr. Webster’s car. After Mr. Webster’s car crashed, the three nearby shooters got into Riley’s car, an Oldsmobile, and drove away. Eyewitnesses to the shooting claimed that Riley could have been one of the shooters but declined to give a definitive positive identification of Riley as one of the shooters. Police found Riley’s Oldsmobile in a known Lincoln Park gang area the next day almost completely hidden. When Riley was pulled over on August 22, 2009 for expired registrations tags in his second car, a Lexus, San Diego Police Officer Dunnigan also found that Riley was driving with a suspended driver’s license. The San Diego Police Department’s policy is to tow and impound a vehicle after stopping a driver with a suspended license in order to prevent the driver from driving again. Additionally, policy dictates that the police must perform an inventory search of the vehicle, which in this case led to the discovery of two handguns that, through ballistic …show more content…

Ultimately, Riley was convicted on three charges and the California Court of Appeal affirmed the

You would think Andre Rand would have come to his senses after being sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. However, that was not the case. Rand cast himself as a “scapegoat victim” of a “corrupt” legal system, according to a series of letters he wrote and sent to a newspaper dating back to 1994.(Donnelly) In 1969, Andre Rand convicted his first act as a suspected serial killer, and convicted murderer. This must have set off a trigger in his mind that told him mentally to forever be a kidnapper, killer, and pedophile. Rand did not stop his ways after his 1969 act of crime.

Occurred on March 1, 1959. R. Jess Brown a well-known African American lawyer represented Parker. On April 13th an all white grand jury indited Parker for rape and two counts of kidnapping. On April 17th Parker pleaded not guilty to each charge. Next Parker’s trial date was set for April 27th. Then Brown asked Judge Sebe Dale’s to drop the case because a black man was not on the grand jury. Brown did this because of a recent ruling made by the 5th U.S. circuit court of Appeals. The ruling stated that it was unconstitutional for a jury of an all white people to convict a black man. The ruling went on to say that one African American had to be on a jury when an African American was on trial. This defense tactic by Brown was a legally intelligent thing to do but this actually became the motive for the mob to kill Parker.

It is never enough to create a great product; it has to be coupled with a desire for that product. The competitive advantage that Wedgwood brought to his company was the ability to create demand for goods. He was able to see the needs of the market before the market did and then cultivating market demand to satisfy those needs with his goods. A differentiation strategy was put into place by Wedgwood for his products as there were already a number of pottery options available on the market. Instead of the low quality, irregular options that were available on the market, Wedgwood’s pottery was made from clay, rather than wood, and was a more uniform finished product. A method of increasing demand by raising the perceived value of the pottery is to drive up demand by the high affluent. One of the ways that he accomplished this was through a technique called inertia selling. By putting a high quality and reputable product in the hands of the elite with no penalty, Wedgwood can display first-hand his high-end craftsmanship and design. With the working class working in the homes of...

Berkowitz’s shootings appear to be acts out of impulse. Not targeting specific people though his prey of choice were single, young women with long dark hair (Bardsley, 1981). Before one of the violent shootings, witness Cacillia Davis saw a man removing a parking ticket from his yellow Ford Galaxy (Bardsley, 1981).
