Recommended: Eyewitness testimony plays a big role in the advantages and disadvantages of the investigation and is a very important area in human memory and cognitive psychology

Criminal Podcast: The Fifth Suspect: The Fifth suspect podcast was about a child pornography ring, which included Bailey Joe Mills, Elizabeth Mills, and two other male suspects. Four out of five suspects were caught, but one suspect remained. Brad Bird, the detective on the case, believed that the fifth suspect was Tommy Wall because Wall was seen on video. Wall was caught on video because, in 2011, Wall met with Elizabeth Mills on a dating site, and the two went back to Mill’s house. At Baily Joe and Elizabeth’s house, there was a video camera rolling- that’s how Wall was on video. That video was turned over to the police. Wall was caught by the police because he saw himself on TV and he did not know why he was on TV, so Wall contacted Detective Bird to try to figure out why Wall …show more content…

Wall was sent to prison. And, while he was in prison, Wall was assigned Fred Webb (an attorney). After 105 days of being in prison, Wall was finally found not guilty because of Webb’s effort to find fault in the case against Wall. I think it is sick that people would participate in child pornography. Child pornography is nasty. I don’t understand why anyone would believe or think that watching and videotaping underage kids is normal or socially acceptable. Listening to this podcast just further proved that sometimes the justice system is not always right.
Eyewitness Testimony Video: The Eyewitness Testimony was a case of rape that happened in North Carolina on July 28, 1984. Jennifer Thompson-Cannino was in her off-campus dorm room when a man came into her room and raped her.

  • Analysis Of The Central Park Five

    The Conflict Perspective, in itself, focuses on the ruling class and the ruled class. In the perspective, the ruling class defines what is deviant based on how it helps them. In this case, the ruling class would be defined as upper-class and white. The ruled class would be defined as lower-class and black. This is illustrated through the emphasis placed on the impact of the differences between the woman who was raped and the young men who were accused of raping her. The woman who was raped was a white and wealthy business woman who worked as an investment banker on Wall Street. The young men who raped her were lower class, black, and from Harlem. Due to these extreme differences, there was immense media attention. The media was often one sided and viewed the young men as criminals and animals in order to make them social pariahs. The media and upper-class wanted to make an example of them to reinforce the laws and separate the two groups even further. Also, the court system had the woman give a testimony despite the fact that she could not remember anything that happened that night. The documentary stated that her testimony was simply used to “pack an emotional punch,” and make the young men look even more inhuman. Finally, when the men were exonerated, the media barely covered it. The news was no longer about showing the lower-class where they belonged. Anything

  • Super-Predator Theory And The Criminal Justice System

    The super-predator theory contributed to wrongful convictions of minors. For example, in 1994, the Central Park Five, a group of five teenagers—four Black, one Latino—were wrongfully convicted for brutally raping a 28 year old white female investment banker that weighed under 100 pounds. The brutality of the rape left her in a 12-day coma. Each teenager was imprisoned for six to 11 years; on the other hand, Donald Trump wrote a full-page ad on all teenagers receiving the death penalty; in fact, today, he still believes that these teenagers are guilty, even though DNA evidence exonerated all of them (DuVernay). This trial took place during the super-predator craze and these teens were wrongfully taken from the their families but speaking from the perspective
