Upon arriving at the scene, there was a woman standing on her porch and gesturing toward the house next door, she told them she had heard glass breaking and that "they" or "someone" was breaking in next door. While Wright radioed in, Hymon went back behind the house. He heard a door slam and saw someone run across the backyard. The fleeing suspect, who was Edward Garner, stopped at a 6-feet-high chain link fence at the edge of the yard. With the use of a flashlight, Hymon was able to see Garner's face and hands there was no sign of a weapon, although Hymon was not certain that Garner was unarmed. He thought Garner was either 17 or 18 years old and about 5' 5" or 5' 7" tall. While Garner was crouched at the base of the fence, Hymon called out "police, halt" and took a few steps toward him and Garner then began to climb over the fence. Convinced that, if Garner made it over...

was found guilty and hanged (Dieters, 2012). Seven years later, Fitzpatrick’s former roommate confessed to the murder on his deathbed. Residents of Detroit were outraged that an innocent man had been put to death. Then, two years following Fitzpatrick’s execution, another Detroit resident, Stephen Simmons, was tried and convicted of killing his pregnant wife during a drunken rage. His execution was made into an event resembling a carnival, complete with a band, local merchants selling their goods, and a seating section for spectators.. When asked if he had any last words, Simmons recited a poem. His “appeal to the heavens” shocked witnesses. The execution was called “cruel and vindictive” by onlookers. The result of these two cases was an

On the afternoon of September 1st, 2015, Illinois Police Lieutenant Joe Gliniewicz radioed in from the Fox Lake area saying he was exiting his patrol car to check on a few suspicious men. Not long after, the officer was found shot dead at the scene, he had one bullet in his vest, and the other hitting close to the heart. Officer Gliniewicz’s belongings were scattered at the scene, which made it seem like he was struggling at the time of his death. However, investigators came to the conclusion that Gliniewicz staged his suicide to make it look like he was murdered. Apparently, he was living a double standard life for over 20 years.
As it was found out later, the arrest was the result of the false report provided by the man who claimed that Lawrence possessed weapons at his home. The report was filed by the neighbor Roger David Nance (41 years old) and he has already been accused before for the similar complaints.

Once in town, he headed directly to the Sheriff?s Office. When he got there he told the sheriff what happened, then they both, Ben and Madec went to the doctor. When they were in the doctor?s office, the doctor examined them both. When Ben went back to the sheriff?s, Madec went to the hospital, the sheriff arrested Ben. Ben told the truth about what happened, but they couldn?t understand what Madec did. They believed what Madec had said. When the trial came along, things were looking badly for Ben. Until the doctor stepped out. The doctor had found Ben?s slingshot, and said that he examined the dead guy, and found that the .358 bullet killed him. Ben was no longer arrested.

About 12% of deaths in the United States are ruled accidental, but how many are actually accidental and how many people are just getting away with murder? On April 26, 2015 at around 2 am in Delaware around the Odessa area, a young 20 year old man was profound dead at a party. Ty Sawyer, a friend of mine and a lover to my best friend, and Patrick Downey have had brewing up a fight over a pair of speakers that Downey says were stolen by Sawyer. Downey hit Sawyer and made him collapse to the ground unconscious and he stopped breathing. Hours later, Ty Brion Sawyer was pronounced dead in the hospital. Weeks later the autopsy results of Sawyer’s body came back and was ruled accidental, according to the state’s Division of Forensic Science. Sawyer’s father, Terrence Garnett, told the News Journal that his son had been on the street drug “ecstasy” and “molly” which they say caused his death because these drugs are known for heart failure. So the question is, did the drugs really kill Ty Sawyer? Or was it Patrick Downey?
This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Then why do they have the same experience, but still have a totally different life? I will agree here that environment (family environment, school education environment and society environment) is one of the biggest reasons for their different.
Equally, “others believe that he survived the fall and got away with $200,000.” (Cunningham 2). Cooper’s luck of surviving the jump would be slim, if his parachute managed to work (“D.B. Cooper” 2). Based on the timing of this event, he might still be alive, but the majority of the subjects are already deceased (Seelye 2). Late March, they resumed the search for Cooper, but found no traces of Cooper or his belongings (Katz 4). These claims prove evidence to this case by stating some ideas of his chances of survival. Cooper’s likelihood to survive was small, but some continue to suppose he could’ve survived with the
...the foot as he had planned. This accident made Stuart’s cover story more believable. The police, or anyone for that matter, never thought that a man would risk his own life to cover up the murder. One major incident that led the police to the truth was Stuart’s suicide (Carlson 10-14).
