Hernandez was still in the early stages of his career when he was convicted. In just three short seasons as a tight-end for the New England Patriots, Aaron tallied an impressive 1,956 receiving yards and 18 receiving touchdowns. (NFL.com) Aaron also played alongside Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and a great organization such as the New England Patriots. This would lead many to believe that even greater things would have come from his career had he continued to play. As a young and upcoming player in the NFL, Hernandez served as a role model to many young athletes and inspired them to make a career out of their passion as he did. By his performance on the field it would have been unknown that Aaron would have done something such as taking the life of another human being. Bill Cosby, Roman Polanski, and Aaron Hernandez all demonstrate how all people have good and evil sides. The good and evil things that each of these men have done show how they are not truly one, but are truly

    Right from beginning, Brady constantly shows guilt from what had happened to Ben. “‘I should have gotten there faster!’ … ‘It’s not your fault. Don’t you dare blame yourself. You tried, Brady. You did everything you could’” (Cummings 50). Brady felt enormous guilt for not doing everything he could in those moments. He thought that it was his fault that Ben died because he didn’t get there quickly enough. “Even if I didn’t take part in drilling the holes, it was my idea” (Cummings 116). Brady, even though he did not actually commit the crime, felt guilty about it because it was his idea. It was him who

    Although he didn't carve out a starting role on the team until nearly half way through the season, he was an integral part of the Patriots offense. He put up five hundred and sixty-three receiving yards, averaging twelve-point-five yards per catch. The next year, Aaron became an even bigger part of the Patriots offense, recording nine hundred and ten receiving yards with seventy-nine receptions, averaging eleven-point-five yards per catch. He was rewarded with a five year contract extension for forty million dollars, with twelve-point-five million guaranteed at signing after the two thousand and eleven season. At the time, his signing bonus was the highest ever for a tight end. At this point the Patriots, along with the entire league, believed they had made a massive steal by drafting Aaron in the fourth round in two thousand and ten. He had been everything teams had expected him to be, excluding, of course, the behavior they believed would follow Aaron to the pros. He had been the opposite of a distraction actually. Thus far into Aaron's career, he had been what some would call a model citizen. When Aaron signed his contract, it appeared Aaron had his life in order, and that he was on his way to fulfilling all of his potential, and enjoying a long and productive career.

  • Reasonable Doubts: The Criminal Justice System and the O.J. Simpson Case

    2404 Words  | 5 Pages

    The New York Times bestseller book titled Reasonable Doubts: The Criminal Justice System and the O.J. Simpson Case examines the O.J. Simpson criminal trial of the mid-1990s. The author, Alan M. Dershowitz, relates the Simpson case to the broad functions and perspectives of the American criminal justice system as a whole. A Harvard law school teacher at the time and one of the most renowned legal minds in the country, Dershowitz served as one of O.J. Simpson’s twelve defense lawyers during the trial. Dershowitz utilizes the Simpson case to illustrate how today’s criminal justice system operates and relates it to the misperceptions of the public. Many outside spectators of the case firmly believed that Simpson committed the crimes for which he was charged for. Therefore, much of the public was simply dumbfounded when Simpson was acquitted. Dershowitz attempts to explain why the jury acquitted Simpson by examining the entire American criminal justice system as a whole.

    Ted Bundy was an American born rapist, a necrophile; a serial killer and a kidnapper who assaulted and murdered several young women during the 1970’s. The criminal kept on denying the charges for more than ten years and later confessed of having committed the thirty homicide crimes in seven different states before his execution (Rule, 2009). Bundy’s handsome and charismatic appearance made it possible for him to easily win the confidence of young women who were always his targets. He broke into the dwellings of his victims at night and bludgeoned them as they slept. He also approached young women in public places where he impersonated as an authority figure or feigned injury on his victim before empowering and assaulting at a more secluded area where he left them dead (Rule, 2009).

  • Aspects Of Rape Culture

    Most argue that if people can joke about cancer, dead babies and racism, rape should not be an exception. However, the concern is that rape jokes mock rape victims and normalize sexual assault. Renowned stand up comedian Daniel Tosh received backlash for jokingly saying, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by, like, five guys right now? Like right now?” The girl in this case referred to a member of the audience who had informed him that rape jokes are never funny. The public outrage that followed caused Tosh to tweet that his point on making rape jokes was that “there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them”. While what he said is most definitely true, how he framed his joke was certainly not funny, especially since it publicly humiliated a woman. Rape is never funny and joking about it validates rapists, undermining the seriousness of

    According to A Novel Approach to Politics “Questions about the very nature of reality seem to be common in fiction of all sorts.” Especially, The Boondocks, a fictional cartoon, uses satire to describe real events that happen in society. The episode I tuned into was “The Trial of R. Kelly”, which explained how R. Kelly won his trial and the views of the people about his case. In the episode, the people outside the court house showed different cognitive frameworks of how they view R. Kelly situation. In other words, the media made sense of the reality of R. Kelly situation in different ways because of the media wanted to select certain information. In this paper, I will explain how the media exemplified mediated reality and agreement reality in the “The Trial of R. Kelly” episode of The Boondocks.
