A few days ago the FBI affirmed if they found sufficient information on the e-mail scandal relating to Hillary Clinton they will commence a criminal investigation. If they do find the evidence Lynch will be the one to say if they should press ahead. Now recently the FBI has officially said that the probe has been confirmed, but they have not launched an investigation yet. Critics are arguing that Lynch should not have a word if the investigation should be held since she has donated over $10,000 to the democratic party. Others are saying that Clinton should be debarred from the election. Lynch has not held a press conference yet, but the FBI is known to be searching the servers that Clinton used to send the e-mails.

    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.

    The Massie trial should be considered a trial of time because the trial consisted of the Hawaiian community being treated unfairly, majority of Hawaiians were characterized to be the rapist and not safe to be around. I also believe Thelma Massie wasn’t ever raped from the beginning I think she was mad because of the altercation she got into with the submarine at the club and wanted to blame it on someone else. And this trials shows how others didn’t agree with the trial decision and choose to take matters into their own hands, but also shows that when the rape test came back negative for during the first the courts should have checked for insanity in Thelma Massie.

She began her education by attending Stanford and majoring in economics, then recognizing her interest in law, she returned to Stanford, and completed law school in two years as opposed to the standard three, finally graduating in 1952.

While locked in the closet, Patty Hearst was verbally and sexually abused and she was denied the use of even a toilet or toothbrush if she didn’t tell them that she agreed with the group’s ideas and beliefs. It is believed that while being locked in the closet like this, Patty was being brainwashed by the SLA and that she may have even developed Stockholm Syndrome, a condition in which a person who was kidnapped starts to empathise with their captor, and even starts defending them. This is how the Symbionese Liberation Army convinced Patty Hearst to join their group. They released an audio tape to the public in which Patty Hearst said she was changing her name to Tania and that she had decided to join the SLA.

Through out the nation there are 94 district courts, 13 circuit courts and one Supreme Court (“The United States Department of Justice - United States Attorney's Office”). During the early days of the Federal Convention in 1787, the delegates all agreed on a plan for the government that will include national judiciary (“History of the Federal Judiciary”).
