On Wednesday, August 29, 2015, at approximately 2:31 p.m., I, second shift Assault Detective Matthew Grasham, Badge #1661, along with second shift Assault Detective Russ Henslee, Badge #2131, conducted an interview with CARLISA CARTER. Ms. Carter was identified as a witness in this incident by Defense Attorney William Ireland. The following is a summarization of the interview: When asked what happened, Ms. Carter explained that she was the mother of the defendant, TERRYON CHAFIN. She went on to explain that on April 17, 2014, she and all of her children were at her cousin, TONYA CARTER’S residence, located at 3527 Seabrook Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. They were there from approximately 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Both Carlisa Carter and Tonya Carter were nieces of the late RITA A. MILLER, who was believed to have died in Southern California, on April 2, 2014. Her remains were in the process to be flown to Ohio to be cremated and a memorial service was going to be help in Columbus, Ohio. In preparation of that memorial service, the gathering at Tonya Carter’s house was underway, where family members were going to decide who was going to do what during that memorial service. …show more content…
Ms.
Miller’s remains were brought to Ohio by Ms. Miller’s son, VINCENT MILLER and daughter, CHARLENE MILLER, who was known by family members a “NENE.” Carlisa Carter was unable to provide the name of the funeral home where Ms. Miller was cremated; however, she did indicate that she went to the place where Ms. Miller was cremated after the memorial service to deliver the
ashes. Carlisa Carter advised there was no graveside service and the only service was at a church. I asked her how she was sure on the dates and she indicated that she knew the family get together was on April 17, 2014, because Ms. Miller was cremated on April 16, 2014, at the funeral home that Carlisa Carter could not provide a name for. I asked if she possessed any type of records or automatically generated documents that would quaperate the family get together at Tonya Carter’s house on April 17, 2014. She indicated that she could not provide any such records. She also indicated she would have taken no photographs because it was a sad event. Finally I asked Carlisa Carter how she became aware of the case involving Mr. Chafin. She explained that she first was lead to believe something was going on when detectives showed up at her house inquiring as to the whereabouts to her son. This was the extent of information gained from Ms. Carter and the interview was concluded. The interview was recorded and a copy of the recording will become a permanent part of this case package.
On the morning of the 17th of May 2005, Nola Walker was involved in a two vehicle motor accident. She had just dropped her son off at his new job, when she ignored a give way sign at an intersection. When the ambulance arrived the officers, Nucifora and Blake, recall Walker being “able to converse” and “orientated”. Blake conducted multiple assessments and did her vital signs twice. The results deemed Walker to be within normal ranges, with the only noticeable trauma involving superficial skin injuries on the left hand, an abrasion over the right clavicle which was assumed to be a seatbelt injury. Ms Walker denied she was ever in pain. Nucifora mentioned on several occasions that it would be best to take Walker to the hospital to be further
The court’s decision based on the treatment of young people in this case emphasizes on the concept of social justice, which means the fair allocation of wealth, resources and opportunity between members in a society. The appellant in this case, Louise Gosselin, was unemployed and under the age of 30. She challenged the Quebec Social Aid Act of 1984 on the basis that it violated section 7 of her security rights, section 15 of her equality rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and section 45 of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. For the purpose of this essay, we shall explore the jurisprudence analysis of section 7 and section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 7 states that everyone has the
Ashley Smith was a young girl that was placed in a juvenile detention centre at age 15 for throwing apples at a mail man. Her short sentence quickly extended into a life sentence because of so many infractions within the prison system. Ashley suffered from extreme mental health issues and was place in a psychiatric prison facility, however this facility was shown in the documentary to be corrupt and their actions with Ashley were extremely illegal. Furthermore, Ashley wasn’t given the proper help and treatment that she needed, instead she was physically and verbally abused by guards in the prison, and she ultimately passed away in the prison. Her death is still being debated about whether
Because police investigators are usually under pressure to arrest criminals and safeguard the community, they often make mistakes. Sometimes, detectives become convinced of a suspect 's guilt because of their criminal history or weak speculations. Once they are convinced, they are less likely to consider alternative possibilities. They overlook some important exculpatory evidence, make weak speculations and look only for links that connect a suspect to a crime, especially if the suspect has a previous criminal record. Picking Cotton provides an understanding of some common errors of the police investigation process. During Ronald Cottons interrogation, the detectives did not bother to record the conversation “But I noticed he wasn 't recording the conversation, so I felt that he could be writing anything down”(79) unlike they did for Jennifer. They had already labelled Ronald Cotton as the perpetrator and they told him during the interrogation “Cotton, Jennifer Thompson already identified you. We know it was you”(82). Jenifer Thompson 's testimony along with Ronald Cotton 's past criminal records gave the detectives more reason to believe Ronald committed the crime. Ronald Cotton stated “ This cop Sully, though, he had already decided I was guilty.”(84). Many investigative process have shortcomings and are breached because the officials in charge make
Debi Faris recently made the sad drive, again, from her home in Yucaipa, California, to the Los Angeles County coroner's office to retrieve the body of a baby boy who had been left by a dumpster. Ms. Faris, her husband, Mark, and others laid baby Jacob (who was named by the police officer who found the child) to rest in the Garden of Angels, a small portion of a local cemetery the Farises established for abandoned infants in 1996. With the help of donations, they bought 44 plots four years ago. Baby Jacob was the 45th abandoned child buried there, forcing them to look for new space among the tombstones. "I never thought in our lifetimes we'd use them all," said Debi Faris.
The case involved a line of duty shooting that took place between Illinois Officer Mary Redmond and suspect Ricky Allen, whom Redmond fatally wounded, and revolved around the family’s excessive force complaint, which they filed on the grounds that the witness testimony differed from Redmond’s account.

Without the assistance of generous community members, the cemetery would not have been possible. “Pap” Taylor, a longtime citizen, gave the first acre of land, which inspired another outstanding citizen, namely “Uncle Bob” Wilson, to donate a second acre of land for burial p...
It all started on the evening of December 7, 1982. A young waitress in her twenties, named Debbie Carter, had taken off of her shift early at a local Ada bar. She proceeded to enjoy a few drinks with several old high school friends before heading home shortly after midnight. Debbie was last seen having a confrontation with a man who was a regular at the bars as she got into her vehicle. The waitress’s friends had asked her to come join a group of them going to back to one of the friend’s houses to continue the hanging out; Debbie declined, but about 2:30a.m., her friend, Gina received two calls back to back from Debbie. Through all the n...
Nashville police department received information that a suspect in a car bombing case, as well as some illegal, stolen equipment, could be found in the home of Mary Cooper. A few law enforcement officers were dispatched to her home. The police officers went to Cooper’s home and asked for permission to enter the home, but Cooper refused, without a search warrant. Two officers left and two were still at the resident of Mrs. Cooper. A few hours later, the two police officers returned with more police officers, waving a piece of paper, and broke open the front door.

They handcuffed for being aggressively

I find it astonishing how Mike Colt and his girlfriend Carol Sturgell unintentionally came across such a historic and unusual find in the local area of Tampa. It must have been almost surreal to of found the remains of three people in a pile of trash, one of whom was a World War II veteran. To of found a World War II veteran, his wife, the wife’s mother, and documents telling of heroism, in a pile of garbage, the young couple must have been in a state of disbelief. The response that they had to their discovery was very respectful. They did the right thing by going to the authorities. The authorities interviewed neighbors, found out the history of the deceased and arranged the funeral and ceremony. Because of the couple’s good choices Delbert Hahn and his wife was finally given the funeral that Mr. Hahn so rightfully earned.
It was determined that in the course of the commission of this particular crime, Sease, was off duty, yet conducted the (planned) interception of the victims without the authorization of command staff knowledge, while in uniform, in his squad car, and outside of his prescient. The victims reported the incident to officials and filed charges against Sease for the robbery(United States of America v. Sease, 2011). Upon further investigation of Sease and his co-conspirator, consisting of 3 additional M.P.D. officers, a female acquaintance, and his cousin, indictments were issued and the parties were incarcerated having found evidence of 16 additional robberies and one attempted robbery each conducted similarly. “The government also found that Sease and his co-conspirators went to the extreme of kidnapping several drug dealers to get them to set up drug deals so that Sease could commit robberies” (Smith, M., 2009). It is noteworthy to mention that after Sease was terminated, he and a co-conspirator, a Memphis reserve police officer continued their illegal activities while pretending to be police officers, based on the evidence presented at
Chung has been operating under what he feels are the established norms for his culture. Ted's relationship with the Taiwanese client exhibits the Chinese management principles of paternalism, particularism, and insecurity. The patron-client relationship is based in a sense of mutual obligation, where the client is expected to defer to Ted's expertise and Ted is expected to trade the account responsibly. (Moorhouse, 2005) Ted also used social networking to establish himself in the community which is expected in the Chinese culture. By attending events Ted increases his “visibility and prestige” which contributes to the face that is needed to be considered a trustworthy business partner in the Chinese community. (Moorhouse, 2005) Karen had trouble understanding these differences in culture which is the root of the problem in this case. As stated in the case study Ted was in his early forties were stable and responsible. Karen admitted that she didn’t really know the whole person (referring to Ted) but wrote it off to the fact that he was Asian and she was not. Karen would not be described as someone with much “Cultural Intelligence” defined by the text as “the ability to accurately interpret ambiguous cross-cultural situations” (Robert Kreitner, 2008) Figure 4-2 in the text defines the differences between Low and High-Context cultures with China being a very High-Context culture and North American countries being Low-Context. Below list the traits of each type culture:
