  • Clifford Olson: Serial Killers

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Though his killings occurred over thirty years ago Clifford Olson is still knows as one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. Active through the years 1980-1980 he was responsible for eleven gruesome murders in that short span of time. The shocking nature of his crimes ensured nobody would forget his notorious deeds. To build on that, Olson is loathed because he extorted authorities into paying $100,000 for the locations of his victims’ remains, an agreement that haunted the survivors of Olson’s crimes, and ruined the careers of the officials who buckled under Olson’s outrageous demands. Furthermore, his crime spree led Neighbourhoods that once claimed to be “so safe you could leave your door open” to secure their doors; hitchhikers were seldom found on highways, and telephone poles were covered with posters warning that nearly a dozen adolescents were missing and a killer was on the loose. Had he not been apprehended by the authorities on August 12th, 1981 his spree of brutal slayings may have continued for much longer, as he showed no remorse for his ruthless crimes.

  • Mr. Hossack Murder Case Study

    While reading the case about Mr.Hossack 's murder i saw the wife, Mrs.Hossack, as innocent at first. The children all claimed that the two did not argue for over a year, so why would she kill him now verses a year ago? When the youngest child, Ivan Hossack, came to the stand and "told his story in a straight, unhesitating manner" it made it easier for me to believe in Mrs. Hossack 's innocence. The child even said that he saw his mother aiding his father when he called out for help. If she had been the one to swing the axe, why would she help him and risk getting in trouble? Most importantly, if he was conscious and talking, why wouldn 't he say who to murderer was? He could have easily identified his wife in the dark after being married for over twenty years, and yet he didn 't identify who had tried to kill him. Dr. Dean first stated that the axe did not hit the speech portion of the brain, so he could have been conscious and yelling out for his wife. Dean later stated that the fatal blow from the axe would have left Mr.Hossack unconscious. The murder weapon had blood on in and apparent hairs stuck to one side; "Prof. John L. Tilton of Simpson college... was unable to say definitely that the hair had been

  • The Red Badge of Courage

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Red Badge of Courage, by it’s very title, is infested with color imagery and color symbols. While Crane uses color to describe, he also allows it to stand for whole concepts. Gray, for example, describes both the literal image of a dead soldier and Henry Fleming’s vision of the sleeping soldiers as corpses and comes to stand for the idea of death. In the same way, red describes both the soldiers’ physical wounds and Henry’s mental vision of battle. In the process, it gains a symbolic meaning which Crane will put an icon like the ‘red badge of courage’. Stephen Crane uses color in his descriptions of the physical and the non-physical and allows color to take on meanings ranging from the literal to the figurative.

  • Who Is Edwin's Murder?

    In court cases, witnesses are depended on for providing reliable, factual, and concise evidence. The witnesses’ account of the crime or crime scene can completely sway the verdict; therefore, it is vital that a witness is thoroughly investigated by the law before providing evidence. In Peter Ustinov's "There Are 43,200 Seconds in a Day", police pressure a simple man named Edwin Applecote into going on the stand in the case of his neighbor’s murder. He provides an invalid and confusing testimony, saturated with ambiguous statements that jeopardize credibility of the case. Edwin’s unreliable testimony proves to be similar to that of David Gallagher, who accused two priests and a Catholic schoolteacher of sexual assault in 2011. This case became better known under the pseudonym of “Billy Doe”. After sending the

  • Definition Essay: The Color Red

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is the color of martyrs, those who die for their cause whether they want to or not. To ease the visceral, soul-deep anxiety, I must forgo the full expansion of my lungs, the use of facilities that most consider a universal right, and heat stroke and dehydration in the summer months. And, in return, my body does not betray me, and words deflect off of my self-imposed armor. I am grateful for such a small price to pay, as others are swindled for far larger sums than I… It is easy to forget that red also symbolizes death. Red calms me, yes, but that does not take away from the fact that it is a fearsome drake: demanding hoards of offerings, and eager to set the world
