As the door swings open to the master bedroom, the unbelievable is seen… large pools of blood in the hall to the bathroom, on the walls, Travis lay slumped over in the shower of his master bathroom. His throat slit, stabbed multiple times and shot in the face. On June 9th, 2008, Travis Alexander roommate called 911 reporting he found his roommate dead.

Evidence against her included a .25 caliber gun reported stolen from Jodi Arias grandparents’ home in May, a hand print with DNA matching hers, moreover, a digital camera with photos placing her there at the day and time of the murder in the washing machine among blood soaked towels. The memory card was undamaged and revealing photos time stamped, with explicit photos of their activities prior to the murder as well as a few during and after. Jodi’s actions around the day of the murder became more questionable the more investigators dug. She was arrested in California 15 July and extradited to Arizona, where she pleaded not

When Hae Min Lee disappeared on January 13, 1999, all of her friends (including the subsequently charged killer, Adnan Syed) thought that she moved to California. Hae’s body turned up a few weeks later on February 9, and the police later charged Adnan Syed, her ex-boyfriend with her murder. Jay Wilds, an alleged accomplice to the crime, confessed to the police that he knew that Adnan killed Hae and Adnan tasked him with burying her. The state later used Jay’s testimony as the foundation for their case, even though it contradicted some of the state’s own physical evidence. While Jay’s eyewitness testimony does identify Adnan Syed as Hae Lee’s murderer, it is self-serving and inconsistent, with no physical evidence to corroborate it. Therefore,
Laci Peterson, a 27-year-old wife who was eight months pregnant, disappeared on December 24, 2002. When the body of the California woman and her unborn child were found four months later, her husband, Scott, was charged with two counts of murder.

Laci’s Parents had turned on him once this came to the light. Police were going to treat Laci’s disappearance as a homicide but on April 13 of 2003 a couple spotted what looked like a male fetus.

If Arias was in an abusive relationship with Alexander then she should not have driven from Northern California to Arizona. Common sense would say to stay away from an abuser. Someone driving from Northern California to Arizona with a stolen gun has intentions of murdering someone. Arias was the abuser because she would stalk Alexander by showing up to his house unannounced, stalk the women he was dating, and she slashed his tires.
The murders occurred between 10:15 p.m. and 10:40 p.m., this is based on testimony from prosecution and defense witnesses who heard barking from the area of the crime scene.

The two juries couldn't decide if she should be sentenced to death or not, so they both made the decision just just sentence her to life in prison. During her trial she changed her story a lot. First she was saying she wasn’t there, then she she was, but two people attacked them and the last thing she said was they were alone, but she killed him out of self-defense. She said that if she did kill him she would be ready to face her consequences because she’s all for the Ten Commandments. Another thing she said that if she was ever going to kill someone she would use gloves because she has plenty at her house. Arias said “I don’t know why he was killed. I had issues with Travis, but i had worse issues with other people and they’re still alive.” Jodi is now 36-years-old and will spend the rest of her life in
Having a tremendous amount of money can be pleasing to have, but it could also have a unbelievable affect on other people. Demi Lovato, famous singer and actor on Disney Channel, has been through so much. She started her life off with acting on Disney Channel shows Sonny with a Chance, Camp Rock, As the Bell Rings and Barney and Friends (“Demi Lovato”). Most people could only dream of having the fame Lovato had, but she did not really like the attention it gave her, so she started new with her favorite passion, music. After working with producers and other musicians, she came out with her first album, “Be Like a Pop Star.” Between her music and acting career, she still managed to help other people. Demi Lovato is an incredibly giving women who made so many people’s lives better and continues to do so.
Simpson's Ex-Wife Found Stabbed to Death” (Malnic & Ferrell, 1994). This was published two days after Nicole Brown Simpson’s death. The Chicago Tribune in 1995, published an article titled, “Nicole Simpson's Grisly Death Described to Jury” (Seigel, 1995). These titles use very abrasive and candid language, most likely used to grab the reader's attention. Words like “stabbed, slash, slit, and grisly” are commonly used when discussing the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman (Seigel, 1995). Furthermore, in the Los Angeles Times newspaper headline, it does not say directly who the murder victims are. They state that O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife was found dead, but not who his ex-wife was. Not mentioning Nicole Brown Simpson’s name in the title seems commonplace for most news media accounts of the murder. The Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, CBS News, and other media outlets have all done so (Malnic & Ferrell, 1994; Baker, 2018; CBS News, 2018). Also, the title does not mention whether or not there were other victims of the crime, but later down in the article they clearly state, “the body of Ronald Lyle Goldman of the Agoura area was found a few feet away in shrubbery” (Malnic & Ferrell, 1994). The lack of fully disclosing who the victims are within the title is misleading. The title is revolved around O.J. Simpson, yet he was not the one that was murdered. It appears that the Los Angeles
First, I will be talking a little bit about Lil Kim’s background. Lil Kim was born and raised in Brooklyn New York, with a little brother. She attended catholic school, but she did not end up finishing because of her personal situations she was dealing with at home. Her parents divorced when she was only nine years old, which left her in her father’s custody. Lil Kim had a bad relationship with her father, and once tried to stab him with a pair of scissors. Her father was a bus driver and a member of the Air Force Reserve which made him a strict disciplinarian. She eventually ran away in her early teens, and started
There is 107,918 foster Children waiting to be adopted and there is 50,644 foster kids that have been adopted. Angelina raised awareness for this by adopting 3 of her own children. I believe that heros are kind and caring. I chose Angelina jolie as my hero because she supported so many charities and showed kindness while helping others. The first reason why i chose Angelina is because shes caring . She shows being caring while helping refugees . Making sure that theyre okay and that theyre safe from any harm and that they have enough food and water. An example for this is when she helped refugees in jordan giving them food and water after things going on in syria. The second reason i chose her is because she is determined to make sure people
