It was another long day at the New Jersey State Police Department, Captain Clarke and his team of detectives, Taylor, and Reyes sat around a table in the dimly lit conference room, “Roberts family, butchered in their own home” Clarke says.
“Murder suicide?” Taylor suggests.
“Not sure, that’s what we have to find out, what do we know so far?” Clarke asks his team.
Reyes takes lead walking to the front of the table, gathering the case file and crime scene photos onto the mounted screen. “Roberts family, murdered six days ago. The mother Alison, children Sam and Emily and husband, Dave were all found in the basement of their Allenhurst home, bags packed for a small family getaway.” Taylor interrupts - “reporter said it was a murder suicide.

Once the effects of the alcohol wore off you went back to being your level minded self correct? Your mother was an alcoholic and she was often too intoxicated to save you from the beatings your father gave you. At age six you were orphaned to a family where the abuse continued only this time it was sexual. This abuse continued well into your teenage years. But my concern is, Mr.McNeil, did you or did you not continue this cycle of abuse with your own children?” I all that was said McNeil looked around the room, took a deep breath, wiped the falling tear with his forearm and said “I NEVER laid a hand on my children, …show more content…
Taylor tells Clarke about his interview with Mr.McNeil, telling of his strong belief of McNeil’s innocence for both murders. When asked why he believed this to be true Taylor says “he still wore his wedding ring, a man who murdered his family and then another wouldn’t wear a ring that symbolizes the very meaning of love and companionship. We’re looking for someone else, he’s not our guy.” Clarke, Reyes split up covering different parts of the Roberts’ family home. The yard is overgrown, the roof of Mr.Roberts’ car was in desperate need of maintenance meanwhile Alison Roberts’ SUV was in pristine condition, glimmering in the sunlight. The house, beautiful, the decor; designer magazines meticulously placed, expensive modern furniture, brand new flat screen tv. However behind the curtain was water damage. “Interesting,” Clarke says, “perhaps Alison’s car is a symbol of wealth to the other parents, she drove the kids to school, perhaps the house is the
¨ If I cannot give my consent to my own death, whose body is this? Who owns my life?- Sue Rodriguez. If one cannot choose when they die and how they go out, then are we really the owner of our life and body? Physician assisted suicide is the practice of providing a competent patient with a prescription for medication for the patient to use with the primary intention of ending his or her own life. When the patient is terminally ill and is in a lot of pain they should be able to end their own life instead of waiting for it to end itself. Even though some argue that physician assisted suicide is not a humane way of dying it still stops the patient´s suffering and gives them peace of mind.
Assisted suicide should be legalized nationwide in the United States, because every human deserves a peaceful death. Assisted suicide is when person that has been told they are terminally ill and won’t survive, they can go to a doctor and get prescribed a medication that results in death. It’s not murder, it’s giving the person a chance to say their good byes and leave this world when they are ready to go. Not making them suffer and go on when they don’t want to.
Intro: The Hippocratic Oath clearly states, “I will not give a drug that is deadly to anyone if asked [for it], nor will I suggest the way to such counsel.”Steven Miles, a professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School published an article, “The Hippocratic Oath,” expressing that doctors must uphold the standards of the Hippocratic Oath to modern relevance. Euthanasia continues as a controversial policy issue. Providing resourceful information allows us to recognize what is in the best interest for patients and doctors alike. Today, I will convince you that physician-assisted suicide should be illegal. The United States must implement a policy stopping the usage of euthanasia for the terminally ill. I will provide knowledge of
It was summer hot and humid July but all was not well for homicide was in the air. Jeremy Ringquist had, after a divorce and begin unemployed, had taken up residence with his parents once again.

Imagine yourself laying on your deathbed, hooked up to countless machines. The doctors are constantly coming to check you while you're trying to get what little sleep you can through the agonizing pain. Even more you're suffering from the side effects of countless drugs, constipation, delirium, you can barely breathe and you've lost all your appetite. There no chance of survival and death is imminent, it's just a matter of time when. You just lay there fighting for your last seconds. Now, if you had the chance to choose how your life ended, wouldn't you choose how and when it ends? Hence, doctor assisted suicide should be a legal option for terminally ill patients. This is a humane way for them to end their lives with dignity, without shame and suffering. We don't have the freedom of speech unless we have the freedom to refuse to speak. The same goes for our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we can't have complete freedom unless we have the freedom to deny these things. We can't claim full control over our life if we cannot choose when to end it. Thus, people should be given the right to assisted suicide in order to end their unnecessary suffering, to preserve the individual right of people to determine their own fate, and to reduce the burden on their families both, financially and emotionally.
The location of the crime scene and the proximity of the serial murderer’s home is one aspect that law enforcement officials try to establish early
The Army CID sent a new, inexperienced investigator named William Ivory to investigate the scene. Ivory decided after looking around the house that MacDonald made up the story of the killers. He also persuaded everyone that he was the culprit. This meant that everyone in Ivory’s chain...
My claim: I argue in favor of the right to die. If someone is suffering from a terminal illness that is: 1) causing them great pain – the pain they are suffering outweighs their will to live (clarification below) 2) wants to commit suicide, and is of sound mind such that their wanting is reasonable. In this context, “sound mind” means the ability to logically reason and not act on impulses or emotions. 3) the pain cannot be reduced to the level where they no longer want to commit suicide, then they should have the right to commit suicide. It should not be considered wrong for someone to give that person the tools needed to commit suicide.
However, Matt Fowler had different reasoning for his actions. After burying his twenty-one year-old son who was just on the cusp of graduating college, he finds that Strout, his son’s murderer, has been released on bail pending trial and until then he has resumed his normal life. Watching his wife not only mourning the loss of their son, but also having to see the killer in daily activities, has caused a mental and emotional strain on their life. The affect on Fowler’s family that Strout is walking around free and seemingly unconcerned is one of the main reasoning that is posed when Fowler and his friend Willis T...
The topic of euthanasia and assisted suicide is very controversial. People who support euthanasia say that it is someone 's right to end their own life in the case of a terminal illness. Those in favor of this right consider the quality of life of the people suffering and say it is their life and, therefore, it is their decision. The people against euthanasia argue that the laws are in place to protect people from corrupt doctors. Some of the people who disagree with assisted suicide come from a religious background and say that it is against God’s plan to end one 's life. In between these two extreme beliefs there are some people who support assisted suicide to a certain degree and some people who agree on certain terms and not on others.
“When I was 13, my dad started drinking more and more. Every day he would come home from work and have beer, lots of it. I didn’t think much of it at first, but then he started getting more angry and violent. He would shout at my mom and me. It was like my father had gone and been replaced with another guy” says an anonymous kid who lives with an alcoholic parent in “How my dad’s drinking problem almost destroyed my family”. The kid depicts that he is so confused, angry and upset especially when his father got fired for going to work drunk. This is one of many children’s voices who suffers having an alcoholic in their family. Most of them are depressed because alcohol has destroyed their family. This is an addiction that does
Firstly, I think that this is what we all should aspire towards, regardless of current events or the date. It's part of being a good human, and, while difficult at times, I think it's absolutely necessary. (I'll admit I've faltered at times on this.)

It was midnight when it all happened. Tom Peterson was sleeping in bed next to his wife after a tiring day at work, while his two little daughters slept in the next room.

Tom was stabbed thirteen times, one of his daughters was killed and his wife was severely injured. Now, the Peterson family has just exited the supreme court of justice in which the judge has condemned the murderer of their little girl to the death penalty, for as it turns out the Peterson family had not been the first victim of this murderer.
All over the world, at all hours of the day, people are committing suicide, and every year the suicide rate continues to increase. In America, suicide is one of the top ten leading causes of death each year. No one truly knows why a person would want to end their life. People who commit suicide do it for all types of reasons such as honor, stress, depression, bullying, heart ache, or the loss of a loved one. The reasons are practically endless, and the only people who could possibly know why every year people try and succeed in successfully killing themselves are the people who participate in such an act. Sometimes even those who contemplate suicide are at a loss for words when asked why they feel like making a permanent departure from this
