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

In this case, if there was a report or call concerning the drug activities in the apartment, being that the Police Department was conducting a the drug sting, it would have justified the reasoning behind the officers kicking the door in and securing suspects and evidence.

    They reasoned that since Barnett didn’t either argue against the dismissal of negligence claim at the time of its dismissal or include the claim in subsequent revisions, she had no support for her claim that the court had erred in dismissing her claim of negligence. The court also ruled that the language of section 3-108(b) of the Tort Immunity Act meant that complete, unconditional immunity was to be offered if supervision was present. As a result of this interpretation, the issue of if the lifeguards had committed willful and wanton misconduct was rendered irrelevant. Since the issues of material fact raised by the appellant weren’t actually issues of material fact, the Supreme Court affirmed the District and Appellate Court’s motion and subsequent affirmation of summary

  • Elenita Case Study

    For the purpose of the paper, I will summarize the facts and leading events of the case of Elenita L and Romer N. Fajota. As reading through this trial I discovered that judges don’t always make the right decision for families or individuals. Likely in this case it is presentably true. Elenita and Romer got married in June 2005 and have three minor children together. As their marriage progressed, in the beginning of the year 2006, Romero became physically violent against Elenita. Romer committed various acts of violence against her and stated in court that it continued “even while pregnant with their second child”. But however, from 2006 to 2008 the violence continued against Elenita and her children. As the domestic violence continued, Elenita filed a

    ...that was the first thing that caught my interest, later when reading the case and discovering that two lower cases had both ruled against the plaintiff, that is when I decided to go further in the case. I wanted to know why it was that the lower courts had ruled against her anf not for her. The decision the court made was fair, I agree with the court. It was the fairest ruling the court could have made towards Suders considering that in reality she had lost the lower court ruling because of the fact she didn't really have sufficient evidence that indeed her supervisors had been harassing her. Therefore, I think the outcome of this particular case was fair and I would have to agree with the decision the United States Supreme Court made towards Suders.

  • Casey Anthony Research Paper

    542 Words  | 2 Pages

    They found Casey Anthony, who was charged with first degree murder of her 3-year-old, not guilty. While she was not guilty of murder, she was convicted on counts four through seven for false information given to the police. The judge sentenced her to one year in county jail for each one of the four counts, but she was released 10 days after she received 1043 days credit. If I was part of the jury I would have said she was guilty of murdering her daughter. Even if she did not kill her, she is still part of the reason why she died. Casey neglected her child either way and did not report the crime to the police until someone else did. I am shocked that the visual evidence did not convince the jury that she was guilty. From the strand of hair in the trunk that matched the past child’s hair, to the extensive research on chloroform found on all web browsers, it was very evident that she did or was at least part of murdering her

  • The Strange Case of Marlise Munoz and John Peter Smith Hospital

    1005 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many ethical paradigms through which humans find guidance and justification for their own actions. In the case of contractarianism, citizens of a state are entitled to human rights, considered to be unalienable, and legal rights, which are both protected by the state. As Spinello says, “The problem with most rights-based theories is that they do not provide adequate criteria for resolving practical disputes when rights are in conflict” (14). One case that supports Spinello is the case of Marlise Munoz, a brain-dead pregnant thirty-three year old, who was wrongly kept on life support for nearly two months at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Misinterpretation of the Texas Advance Directives Act by John Peter Smith Hospital led to the violation of the contractarian paradigm. Although the hospital was following the directive in order to maintain legal immunity for its hospital staff, the rights of the family were violated along with the medical fundamental principle to “first, do no harm.”

    I think the number one cost of the American civil war was social because first off there was a lot of people dying in the war, over 600,000 Americans died in the civil war. The second cost of the American Civil war is political because the North and the South were divided. The south did not want to abolish slavery but the north did. There were two nations: Union and Liberty, and Union and Slavery. Abraham Lincoln who was running for president during the war wanted to end slavery but there was always disagreements. The third cost of the American Civil war is economic because it affected everyone and their life. The economy was bad because of the war will make reconstruction

Despite opposition claiming that it is not addressed in the Constitution, too few rights are ever addressed in the Constitution of the United States. That is why there is a thing called Judicial Review. By utilizing judicial review, the interpreters of the law –Supreme Court, may make changes to policies and laws. Abortion, medicinal marijuana, and marriage fall under the umbrella of Equal Protection since they correspond to the rights and liberties of US citizens.

  • Shirley Turner Case Study On Zachary

    457 Words  | 1 Pages

    Shirley never acted as a reasonable person would while taking care of her child. The focus should of been on Zachary´s rights during his life but weren´t. The courts never worked in Zachary´s best interest. His death was preventable, and no individual gave any notice to what Zachary needed; he should have been in the custody of his grandparents even though his mother was granted bail. The Children Protective Services department was notified that there was a possible danger to the child and demanded supervised custody and nothing was done about it. The Judge Gale Welsh is not only biased but uninformed on the involved and the case itself. Zachary should be alive if it wasn't for this Judge's absurd decision to allow Shirley out on bail. The court expressed sympathy for the accused and did not follow the legal system; she gave Shirley advice on how to appeal her arrest and imprisonment. Courts must be fair in each trial; Welsh should have absolutely not spoken of the case with Shirley before the hearing. The Judge was unaware of the accused because she neglected to realize that Shirley was a former offender and on suicide

  • Generativity Development: Its Impact on Psychological Well-Being

    611 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the “Psychological well-being in mid to late life: The role of generativity development and parent-child relationships across the lifespan”, Jeong Shin An and Teresa Cooney found that “adult psychological well-being was significantly related to generativity development” and “remember pre-adult family experiences and those occurring currently with one’s own adult offspring were related to well-being”. In the movie “Beginners”, Hal Fields failed in “the ability to develop true care” for his family which suggested that he might not achieve generativity and psychological well-being. Hal failed to provide true care for his son- Oliver Fields because he was busy working in the museums when Oliver was young. He also failed to “become a giving person” in his marriage with his wife- Georgia, and this might due to his homosexual orientation that prevents him to fully commit to his family and show affection to his wife, which young Oliver noticed and once asked was something wrong between them. Hal’s failure to
