Colorado maintains a stricter standard when it comes to the admittance of testimony of an unavailable witness. People v. Madonna declared that the “offering party must establish the present unavailability of the witness… there must be sufficient opportunity for cross examine the witness at the former hearing.” People v. Madonna, 651 P.2d 378, 384 (Colo. 1982).
The Petitioner filed a motion for a new trial on the basis of newly discovered evidence disputing that the Government was negligent in disclosing a purported promise of leniency made to Robert Taliento, their key witness in exchange for his testimony. At a hearing on this motion, the Assistant United States Attorney, DiPaola, who presented the case to the grand jury admitted that he promised the witness that he would not be prosecuted if he testified before the grand jury and at trial. The Assistant (Golden) who tried the case was unaware of the promise. The defendant seeks to overturn his conviction on the grounds that this non-disclosure was a violation of his Due Process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.
According to A Novel Approach to Politics “Questions about the very nature of reality seem to be common in fiction of all sorts.” Especially, The Boondocks, a fictional cartoon, uses satire to describe real events that happen in society. The episode I tuned into was “The Trial of R. Kelly”, which explained how R. Kelly won his trial and the views of the people about his case. In the episode, the people outside the court house showed different cognitive frameworks of how they view R. Kelly situation. In other words, the media made sense of the reality of R. Kelly situation in different ways because of the media wanted to select certain information. In this paper, I will explain how the media exemplified mediated reality and agreement reality in the “The Trial of R. Kelly” episode of The Boondocks.

This essay I have decided to write about Oprah Winfrey. This is because Oprah had many serious life events. These life events must have implemented her key development stages or the other.
Patty Hearst was a normal 19 year old girl, living in an apartment with her fiance and attending university in Berkeley, California, until one day her life, and the lives of everyone around her changed forever. On the evening of February 4, 1974, some members of the left-wing radical group called the Symbionese Liberation Army barged into Hearst’s home armed with guns, and beat up her fiance before kidnapping Hearst and bringing her to their house where she was kept blindfolded in a closet for 59 days. 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. She then helped the SLA rob a bank and steal an ammunition belt from a sports store. After this, she started travelling around the country with two members of the SLA named John and Emily Harris, to try avoid being captured by the police. During this time, the police found a house where some members of the SLA were hiding out. Attempts to make the SLA members surrender ended up in a massive gunfight, ultimately ending up in the deaths of 6 SLA members. The FBI eventually found and arrested Patty Hearst on September 18, 1975. T...

On the outside Demi Lovato was every young girl’s idol in the late 2000’s. Lovato had her own successful television show, Sonny With a Chance on Disney Channel and starred in the Camp Rock movie series with the Jonas Brothers. However, on the inside she was suffering from multiple mental illnesses. She has suffered from bulimia, self-harm, anorexia, and depression.

As a recent college graduate, I know how it feels to rank in the top of your class and have tons of options and companies who are interested in seeing you join their team like Ramona. The challenge is knowing whether or not the potential employers are selling you “the best opportunity.” The decisions that you have to make between whether or not you will be a “good” fit for the company and if the company is “legit” run through your mind before the initial conversation you have with the recruiter or hiring manager.
I have selected Britney Spears as my subject for the reason that I realize that she has been through so much in her life and has a tendency to convey her emotions radically and live life on the edge most of the times. Moreover, I find it simply fascinating to scrutinize Britney Spears’ personality by means of the Psychoanalysis so as to offer deeper comprehension in investigating her personality. Even though this process of personality analysis is hardly ever employed today due to a deficiency of empirical verification and a disappointment to deal with any adulthood impact on personality, the approach’s stress on childhood development is a long way from without foundation. It permits for a fascinating and vibrant examination of personality as it imparts a comprehensive description of why Britney’s id conquers her ego and superego in a majority of her decisions, as well as reciting her fixations within the oral stage of the psychosexual development. By exploring her defense mechanisms, from a spectator’s view it is apparent that she stays clear of anxiety-provoking stimuli by means of warping reality to her own terms. Taken as a whole, this assessment of Britney Spears’s personality does an excellent work via the psychoanalytic perspective as means to reveal/display a lucid conception of her outlook on the world and the connections with her relationships as to why she is this way at the moment.
Gail Davis was a former executive assistant to the Motown legend, Diana Ross. Davis presided in that position until she voluntarily resigned. About a year later, a letter was written and distributed by Diana Ross, which claimed Gail Davis, along with several other former employees, was no longer employed by her. She further states that the employee's’ work or personal habits may have been unacceptable to her and if used as a reference, she requested to be contacted (Walsh, 2013, p. 164). Also, she states in her letter that she “she do not recommend theses people” (FindLaw, n.d., para. 4)
Music is an inspirational outlet that can be used to convey a message to other people who relate to that message. Music can become even stronger when the person who is performing it is an inspirational source as well. For the past 30 years Madonna has become a well-known artist, actress, and role model to the people who support her. All artists know that they are only number one until someone else comes along and replaces them with more intriguing work to offer. Lady Gaga has been said to be the new Madonna of our generation and is quite often compared to her in many ways by her musical and styling choices. They both share similarities such as their musical genre, style, feminine empowerment, and their support towards the gay community. Their differences can also be seen in those same fields as well.
Madonna is a controversial legend whose attitudes and opinions on sexuality have forced the public to take notice and change the image of females in society. Madonna believed women’s sexuality was a natural aspect of life; therefore, she dared to challenge the rules and definitions of femininity and sought to expand the meaning of it. In a male dominated world, she wanted to focus on the importance of women and let them have a voice of their own. Madonna shattered all the myths on traditional beauty standards and made her statement on sexuality and feminism, which changed how society viewed the standards of beauty. She impacted female power by encouraging sex- positivity into her music and her style. It is mainly because of Madonna that ordinary women, and women in modern entertainment have more choices and freedom which continues to influence further generations.
I agree with the Court’s decision in this case People v. Oliver. Because how the facts explain thee issues, that how Carol it is responsible for Carlos in the way that if she saw him in these conditions why she take him to her car and from there to her house. That’s something that you don’t do to a stranger specially is he or she is intoxication she would call and provide medical assistances, also she could call a taxi, or a family member of him for this reason she failed to do so, and she commit negligent mens rea. Second fact why take him to her house? In this situation now the responsibility is on her because what ever it happen is also with her, and how the fact shows Carlos ask for a spoon and Carol give him one knowing that it was for
Some individuals believe that some hearsay should be admissible and others should be excluded. In California v. Green, the Supreme Court rejected challenges to the use of statements by a witness who appeared forgetful and evasive at trail. This witness has also previously implicated the defendant while speaking with the police and in testimony at the defendants hearing. (Criminal Evidence: An Introduction, Pg. 287) The Reliability Theory comes into play with this case.
