The document discusses two theories about the link between violent films/media and violent behavior in children:
1) Theory 1 is that exposure to violent horror videos leads to violent behavior. However, there is conflicting evidence that while a violent movie was rented to the house, there is no evidence the boys watched it or mentioned it to police.
2) Theory 2 is that a violent social/family background leads to a preference for violent media and propensity for violent behavior. There is more evidence supporting this theory, as both boys came from violent backgrounds and the movie was never proven to be a factor.
The conclusion is that the evidence supports that the boys' violent actions were due to their violent upbringings

Obama's SECRET "KILL" List
President Obama personally oversees a secret "kill list" of individuals targeted for assassination without trial, including American citizens. The President reviews this list with senior advisors every Tuesday and decides who will be targeted in drone strikes. This practice violates U.S. and international law, which require due process or congressional approval for the use of lethal force. The author argues that Obama has established secret national security systems that operate outside the Constitution and rule of law.
Roper v Simmons ppt
Christopher Simmons was sentenced to death for murder committed at age 17 in Missouri in 1993. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the execution of juveniles aged 16-17 is unconstitutional, ending the practice in the United States. The majority opinion cited that juveniles have less culpability due to their lack of maturity and vulnerability to negative influences, and that international law and consensus among the states opposed juvenile executions. This established a new standard of exempting juveniles from the death penalty.

Lynda Mann, who was 15 years old left her home one evening to visit her friend’s house and did not return.

In the same position as Lynda Mann, a semen sample was taken from Dawn and tested. The modus operandi matched that of the first attack, and semen samples revealed the same blood type.
The first criminal caught using DNA fingerprinting (England), using the DNA profiling method published in 1985 by Sir Alec Jeffrey’s.

Kga Criminal Law Not Guilty By Reason Of Slick Defense
The document discusses several criminal cases where defendants were found not guilty due to creative legal defenses. These include claiming sleepwalking caused a murder, prosecutorial misconduct concealing evidence, an alibi corroborated by metrocard records, incompetent defense leading to a retrial, mistaken eyewitness identification, and a fire ruled an accident rather than arson. The conclusion argues these cases show murder suspects will say anything to get away with crimes and clever lawyers can convince juries of improbable defenses.

Sgt. Koon and other LAPD officers responded to apprehend Rodney King, who had led police on a high-speed chase. King was behaving erratically and did not comply with officers' commands. Koon exhausted non-lethal tactics like tasers and baton strikes to subdue King. The LAPD had previously banned chokeholds, limiting officers' options. At trial one year later, the defense used medical evidence and frame-by-frame analysis of video to show that officers' actions were justified against a dangerous suspect under the influence of PCP. The prosecution failed to prove its case of excessive force, and the officers were acquitted.

Cold Case Murder of Krystal Beslanowitch, 1995
This document summarizes a cold case murder investigation from 1995 of 17-year-old Krystal Beslanowitch. Her body was found beaten to death with a rock in the Provo River in Utah. The initial investigation was unable to find any DNA evidence other than the victim's. In 2013, a new DNA collection technique called M-Vac was able to extract DNA from fingerprints left on the murder weapon, identifying the suspect as Joseph Michael Simpson. Police were able to collect Simpson's DNA from a discarded cigarette and convict him of first-degree murder. He was already on parole for a previous murder conviction at the time of killing Beslanowitch.
