Latham's Criminal Behavior

262 Words1 Page

Using information from the charts and briefs, I determine that Latham does not deserve nothing at all because he shows no remorse and he contradicts him self in the case. "The court found that there was a lack of remorse." Page 16 Paragraph 1. "Appellant's record of criminal behavior stretching back through his entire adulthood and beyond, warranted a significant period of incarceration all prior attempts at rehabilitation and deterrence have been met with abject failure." Page 19. This evidence comes to show that Latham's criminal history is jeopardizing and not benefiting him with this further case. Due to the fact that appellant shoes a lack of remorse there is no merit to the contention. The court is pretty much going against the appellant

  • Tragic Case of Ralph Tortorici

    884 Words  | 2 Pages

    In conclusion, Ralph Tortorici’s trial was unfair. Through his history of anger and solitary that later lead to a severe illness, the lack of proper trial due to the reason that the prosecution should not have gone forward after there was clear evidence of Ralph’s unstable mental health and the lack of support for his paranoia schizophrenia are all factors that demonstrate why Ralph was given an unjust trial.

  • Trial By Fire David Grann Analysis

    788 Words  | 2 Pages

    He adds that Willingham writes poetry and draws. By including this it adds more humanistic characteristic to a man who had otherwise been stripped of his mortality and soul by those who have deemed him a sociopath. This allows readers to sympathize with him and makes readers contemplate how can a man that writes and draws possibly kill his own flesh and blood. He continues with his case when he adds the bit where Willingham found out that his appeal was denied. Grann includes that they did not even give an explanation because they deliberated in secret and they didn’t even have to review Willingham’s materials. It gives the reader a sense of anguish for Willingham regarding the fact that the board has no set of specific criteria to judge him on. This was the last leg Willingham was on and it seemed like his life wasn 't taken seriously by the board. It reveals how flawed this system is. Grann mentions that Willingham even tried to study law in order to effectively defend his case. This gives the reader a sense that Willingham is trying to prove his innocence to the best of his ability rather than giving

Land rights, circle sentencing and individual access for financial aids such as ab study and other Centrelink benefits are accessible to those who require assistance.

The amendment shows that justice is achieved by treating differing group’s inequality to ensure that those in the society who are disadvantaged have
