    A third factor in the conclusion of DiStefano’s guilt is his statement of activities, it is extraordinarily unbalanced. True statements follow the same format as a lecture or story with three mostly equal parts, an introduction talking about the events leading to the crime, the crime itself and then a conclusion and aftermath. DiStefano’s statement, however, doesn’t follow this trend. He uses short sentences with little detail rounding to the nearest 5 or 10 minutes to describe most his day. Then when it comes to the period concerning the crime, he suddenly becomes very detailed in his whereabouts and what he did, giving detailed descriptions, down to the minute-12:03 AM. Then after the period surrounding the crime where an evenly sized conclusion

    In the article “The Interview” and the documentary “The Central Park Five” both showed injustice and how corrupted the judicial system is in terms of the human experience. Having justice is having equality for all and being fair about it, but in the “The Interview” and “The Central Park Five” it showed the opposite of what having justice is. They proved that the judicial system can be unfair and that innocent people can be arrested for crimes they did not commit even if there are evidence proving their innocence.

  • False Confessions and the Norfolk Four Case

    2738 Words  | 6 Pages

    ``In criminal law, confession evidence is a prosecutor’s most potent weapon’’ (Kassin, 1997)—“the ‘queen of proofs’ in the law” (Brooks, 2000). Regardless of when in the legal process they occur, statements of confession often provide the most incriminating form of evidence and have been shown to significantly increase the rate of conviction. Legal scholars even argue that a defendant’s confession may be the sole piece of evidence considered during a trial and often guides jurors’ perception of the case (McCormick, 1972). The admission of a false confession can be the deciding point between a suspect’s freedom and their death sentence. To this end, research and analysis of the false confessions-filled Norfolk Four case reveals the drastic and controversial measures that the prosecuting team will take to provoke a confession, be it true or false.

  • Analysis Of Cesare Beccaria's 'On Crimes And Punishments'

    1709 Words  | 4 Pages

    Linking this back to my previous statement, the accused needed to be trialed. The first problem that arises is the fact that the judges can rule how they please towards the accused. We all have times when we feel better than others and this can affect our reasoning as well as our attitude towards certain aspects of life. This statement also applies to the judges when they are in court. Naturally they are supposed to determine whether the accused is guilty of the crime that has happened and come up with a reasonable and suitable punishment but some judges let their personal affairs get in the way. While this might sound strictly unjust to the accused, the judge displays signs of inequality when he or she lets signs of weakness from the victim affect their final verdict. The judge is there to assign a verdict as well as give out the proper punishment that is associated with the crime that was committed. If the judge changes their decision based on their point of view as well as how they feel towards the accused this means that the judge is bias. This creates an inequality between the accused members because if different people have been accused of the same crime and get the same judge they might get different verdicts depending on what the judge thinks and feels about them. Beccaria states that ‘‘we see the same court

  • Questionable Interrogations

    1649 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the Criminal Justice system, the main goal is justice or in other words, a fair consequence to match a criminal action. An obvious, yet unmentioned underlying goal is to prevent injustice. Many times, justice prevails, and this is why our system prevails today. However, when justice fails, it is key to look at the information offered in order to better the system and to repay those that have been failed by it. One area that has shown itself as flawed is the area of interrogations though many other areas will be presented throughout this paper as well. By examining five cases involving questionable interrogation and showing other system flaws, I will enlighten others as to how our justice system handles its flaws, and hopefully I will provide motivation for further improvement.

The play 12 Angry Men, by Reginald Rose, introduces to the audience twelve members of a jury made up of contrasting men from various backgrounds. One of the most critical elements of the play is how the personalities and experiences of these men influence their initial majority vote of guilty.

Therefore, how a person feels inside is reflected in his/her thoughts, opinions, and behavior.

    ... the Criminal Justice system. The author offers the reader a front row seat to the unfairness and unreliability of the CJ system. Grisham is not a fair writer himself and is biased in his writing throughout the entire novel. It is evident to the reader by the end of the novel that the prosecution in the case went to every extreme possible to put Fritz and Williamson in prison for a crime they did not commit. From the reader’s perspective, we knew from the beginning that Fritz and Williamson, no matter how much negative behavior they engaged in, were not the criminals and that there was a high likelihood of Gore being the offender. Nevertheless, Grisham takes us on a wild, nail-biting edge-of-your-seat ride through the Criminal Justice system in this book that leads us through an unfair trial and a slew of biased opinions, lies and deceptions and unjust procedures.
