Sherrice Iverson: Case Study

260 Words1 Page

In my opinion, David Cash should be punished for either not reporting to the police or stop Jeremy for sexual assault or murdering Sherrice, because David witnessed Sherrice being molested by his best friend and did nothing about it, he just walked away. Then Jeremy came to David and confessed to him that not only he molested her, he murdered Sherrice less than half an hour ago and David didn’t ask him why Jeremy did it? And since David failed to report to the police when Jeremy informed him about his crime, he should be charged and prosecuted as an accessory for both sexual assault and murder of Sherrice Iverson.

The potential issue for a person that has failed to report a crime that he or she has witnessed is not considered illegal, but

  • Why Jhonny Cade Should or Should not Be Tried for Murder

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    As juror number one, I had to research why Johnny should, or should not be tried for the murder of Bob Sheldon, the Soc. I also had to research murder among teens and what happened during the killing of Bob Sheldon. During my research, I found that murder was considered a premeditated killing, and I also found that Johnny can only be tried for murder in Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina because of his age. Johnny was planning on saving, Ponyboy Curtis, who at the time was being drowned by David, the Soc Bob had told him to “give Ponyboy a bath.” In trying to save Ponyboy he pulled out his pocket knife and stabbed Bob Sheldon in the back therefore causing David to release Ponyboy and flee the scene.

  • Compare The Crucible And The Scarlet Letter

    1185 Words  | 3 Pages

    They both committed adultery, which then became the root of all of the issues within their respective stories. How this was known to be wrong was the commandment given by Jesus Christ in the Bible, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” This makes their sins completely equal to each other. The punishment inflicted upon them was different however. Hester was forced to wear a scarlet letter A and bear her shame and John was executed. Hester suffers from the intense shame and ridicule as it is stated, “She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.” It is remarkable to know that both characters felt a physical weight of their guilt. And it’s rather profound when John confesses his sin. He said. “I have known her, sir. I have known her.” All the while he was trembling and weeping, showing how much he truly feels his sin. Whether or not it is true, is it society’s place to judge individuals based on rumor and or hearsay and carry out

  • Analysis Of Murder In The Bayou

    1407 Words  | 3 Pages

    Society views sex workers and drug addicts in a less than human light that diminishes there value. If eight wealthy successful women were murdered in the Hamptons there would be a much different response. The victims all ran in the same circle and had too many connections for the serial killer theory to be considered. Everyone tangled in this story is linked to each other, the victims, drug dealers, pimps and police, and all were involved in the sex and drug trade. They all have relationships with each other and therefore renders local law enforcement corrupt by their association. Currently, law enforcement is keeping the serial killer possibility on the table, while now being forced to also look at each case individually due to Brown drawing national attention. I think that the only way the Jeff Davis 8 will ever see justice is if the investigation is taken out of the hands of the local law enforcement and is investigated on a federal

  • The Case Study of Amanda Anderson

    The primary diagnosis for Amanda Anderson is separation anxiety disorder (SAD) with a co-morbidity of school phobia. Separation anxiety disorder is commonly the precursor to school phobia, which is “one of the two most common anxiety disorders to occur during childhood, and is found in about 4% to 10% of all children” (Mash & Wolfe, 2010, p. 198). Amanda is a seven-year-old girl and her anxiety significantly affects her social life. Based on the case study, Amanda’s father informs the therapist that Amanda is extremely dependent on her mother and she is unenthusiastic when separated from her mother. Amanda was sitting on her mother’s lap when the therapist walked in the room to take Amanda in her office for an interview (Morgan, 1999, p. 1).

  • Herzog One Second To The Next Analysis

    In one scenario of the film an offender only paid the victim fifty thousand dollars, while the victim was billed over a million dollars. For this type of crime where families lose their loved ones, sentences should be stricter. Fines should be stricter if you are found on your phone while driving. There should be more approaches to reduce texting and driving that the government needs to come up with. I believe the offender should pay for all the extra costs that the victim has to endure. All they do is little bit of community service instead they should assist the family with their needs. Basically, the offender deserves harsher penalties for their wrongdoing. By making a sentence harsh it would have more influence on future generations about texting and driving. (PUT IN THE CURRENT

  • What Are Victimless Crimes

    Victimless crimes have to be approached carefully by law enforcement officials due to the laws surrounding them. They need to be certain they don’t infringe on a person’s 4th amendment rights. “Due largely to the victim's reluctance to report crimes regarding victimless crime because of self-incrimination or criminal liability law enforcement has to resort to extreme measures” (Unknown, 2003). With that being said, they need to use extreme caution when implementing measures such as: surveillance, wiretapping and other forms of monitoring which could be seen as entrapment (Unknown, 2003).
