Katrina Goss walked into her 11-year-old son's bedroom in April to find him hanging after he fell for a cruel social media prank his girlfriend set up. Tysen Benz took his own life after his unnamed 13-year-old girl girlfriend tricked him into believing she committed suicide by sending him messages through texts and social media using another persons account, as previously reported by Independent Journal Review. The devastated mother said: “She had pranked her own death. I don’t know what possessed her to do such a weird prank. It’s a twisted, sick joke.” Tyler hanged himself within 40 minutes of reading the messages she posted to trick him, but she didn't step in to stop him or tell him it was a joke. His mother explained: “He even said …show more content…
Marquette County Prosecutor Matt Wiese said “Tysen was obviously upset by this,” as he announced the 13-year-old girl will not be facing criminal charges in his death, after deciding she was not responsible for the boy's death, according to the NY Post. Wiese said: “After reviewing all of the evidence, it did not appear that the [girl] intended the death of Tysen Benz." Goss was crushed by the decision, telling TV6 that his girlfriend got: "4-6 months' of probation for her two charges. The defendant received the very minimal punishment she could receive for her heinous and devious acts committed towards my son, Tysen Jade Benz." The mother said in a statement: My son is dead and his family and close friends are left distraught and severely heartbroken. I am appalled at the lack of justice and consideration in this case. I feel that the Judge and the prosecutors did not want to deal with this case from the beginning due to the mass media coverage and exposure so all parties wanted to quickly put this case to an end and be done with it. I feel that due to the defendant's age the court system was afraid to put forth harsher punishment for the girl due to public backlash. I feel that the court system failed my late son, Tysen
The responsibilities, the cries, the noise, disappointments and embarrassment were just the beginning the beginning of Casey Anthony madness to her crime. This particular day was June 9, 2008 the family and Casey world will be turned upside down. Casey was paranoid, nervous and panicked, so she packed up Caylee and headed to the dark, wet and scary woods where she thought her actions would be able to give her a normal lifestyle, a lifestyle she wanted before she found out she was pregnant with Caylee. Casey took Caylee her 2 year old daughter at the time to the woods and ducted tape her mouth also her nose and covered her with the cold dirt, covered her and left her for dead. A 2 year old confused, scared and afraid that her horrible mother who she thought loved her would leave her
As the defense has so diligently pointed out, it is indeed a sad day in the history of our judicial system when an innocent woman is sent to her death for a crime that she did not commit. I, for one, am not planning on having that momentous occasion take place today, and this is for one simple reason: Justine is guilty. While the defense has done nothing but parade Justine’s friends in front of you saying how much of a “nice person” she is, I, the prosecution, have presented you with cold, hard facts, all of which point to the guilt of the defendant.
An overview of the case is Marsha is a poor, white mom from Alabama. A bad hurricane hit her house and it destroyed everything she and her husband Glen had. Marsha became pregnant and this was going to be her seventh child, not to mention the child was not planned. She went into the old trailer to take a bath and then violent labor started and she had the baby. It was stillborn so she just buried it. The neighbor noticed and called the cops. She was charged with capital murder and sentenced to death. She was finally exonerated and got to go back home to her family. Just Mercy is a book with lots of cases that are about wrongly convicted and imprisoned people. Bryan Stevenson in the book and real life is doing a great job with helping prove to the court that the people are innocent

In March 2015, Christian News Network reported that 23-year-old Lacey Deese was arrested and charged after attempting to run over pro-life campaigners ministering outside A Preferred Women’s Health. Patrick Courtney, a missionary, talked to her when she arrived with a friend, but she called them losers and drove her car directly in their direction several times.
“Daddy? What are you doing? Please don’t do it.” The ‘it’ was suicide. I’ve figure it all out. He wants to make it look accidental, so he’s going to pretend he’s driving to get my birthday present.

"You need help, you can't be doing drugs anywhere near my kid ever again" Mom mutters back to him.
The relationship was consensual between the two, and the only reason that the relationship was found out was because the young man bragged to an ex-girlfriend about dating his teacher. It was not the boy who was conflicted by the relationship, but the ex-girlfriend who was mad that she got dumped for an older women. The teacher worked with the police in every step of the investigation, and the young man did not give the whole story. He gave bits and pieces of the story to the investigating officers. Maggie Laughlin was sentenced to 3 years in prison and got an early release. Laughlin served a total of 13 months because she co-operated with the investigation, and was truthful. Laughlin also has to do 200 hour community service, go to counseling for sex offenders, and is prohibited from contacting the victim. Laughlin’s teaching license is revoked and she is registered as a Tier II sex offender. This means she will have to register her address for the next 25
On a Friday afternoon, I went to observe a criminal trial at the San Luis Obispo County Courts. This was the murder trial of State v. James Lypps, which had begun many days prior and was already midway through the trial process. The defendant, James Lypps, was charged with the alleged murder of his wife, Sherre Neal-Lypps. She was found dead in the bathtub at their home by paramedics after the defendant made a 911 call. The defense is arguing that the cause of her death was suicide and prove James Lypps innocence, while the prosecution is aiming to prove that she was strangled and drowned by her husband.
“I don’t know. I just woke up and I was dead. I didn’t really see it coming or anything. It just happened.”
