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.

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...

This case was publicized way too much on national television. Just like the rape case for the Kobe Bryant trial, there was way too much media involvement, resulting in the leak of the victim’s name which started the case to downhill from there. If the media was not heavily involved which led to the victim being pressured by scrutiny and threats, Kobe Bryant probably would have been convicted of rape with the victim being a witness on the stand with her testimony.
Cooper pleads not guilty against his charges of sexual assault with his story being slight different from his junior’s story. Cooper’s story starts off with him and his junior drinking the night before the incident, Cooper told the judge that on the way back to their sleeping quarters he had noticed he had became aroused.

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
