This document discusses various topics related to ethics including:
1) Acts of good samaritan conduct, vigilantism, and civil disobedience and whether they violate ethical standards or laws.
2) Examples are given of individuals who committed criminal acts to help others or get justice.
3) The history of civil rights movements and protests around issues like segregation and slavery are summarized.
4) Several cases of professionals violating ethical standards through criminal misconduct are mentioned.
This document provides a history of military sexual trauma and sexualized warfare throughout history. It discusses examples of sexual violence during ancient Roman and Greek times, World Wars I and II, and more recent conflicts like the Vietnam War and Iraq War. It also compares rates of sexual assault between civilian and military populations, finding much higher rates of assault among women in the military. The challenges of reporting and accessing care after an assault in the military system are outlined.
The document compares the treatment of Palestinians to African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, noting that both groups experienced oppression through laws and brutality and were seen as the problem by their oppressors. It outlines how they were both segregated and engaged in protests, with non-violent protest being more effective than violent protest at achieving goals, though it can be time-consuming and lead to increased violence by oppressors trying to maintain power. The conclusion calls for learning from history to avoid repeating mistakes and to stand on the right side of history.
This document contains summaries of 5 sources related to the Black Lives Matter movement:
1. A book by Edwards focuses on police shootings that sparked protests and the work of activists to reform the legal system and address racial tensions.
2. A newspaper article by Fletcher argues that claims of Black Lives Matter being "anti-police" are a myth, and that the real issue is police violence against black civilians.
3. An article discusses Tarantino's comments calling police "murderers", noting that while some demonstrations have had anti-police chants, very few Black Lives Matter participants actually advocate killing police.
4. A website discusses how Black Lives Matter has affected politics, with candidates addressing issues

1) Military sexual trauma (MST) refers to sexual harassment, unwanted sexual attention, and sexual assault experienced by women in the military.
2) Reported rates of MST for female service members vary widely from 20-63%, though the actual number is estimated to be around 80% due to underreporting.
3) Experiencing MST can have long-term health consequences for women such as PTSD, substance abuse, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, increased suicide risk, and major depression.
The document discusses the Black Lives Matter movement and debates around whether black lives truly matter in America. It provides statistics showing racial disparities in police shootings and deaths in custody. It also discusses specific cases of black individuals killed by police and the public responses. Critics are mentioned as accusing Black Lives Matter of being a terrorist group, while supporters argue they are bringing needed attention to racial injustices and police brutality against black people. The document concludes by asking whether black lives really matter and what should be done about the situation.
This document summarizes key points from Michelle Alexander's book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness". It notes that incarceration rates in the U.S. increased dramatically from 1980 to 2009, and that African Americans are incarcerated at six times the rate of whites. It then provides brief biographical information about Alexander and outlines some of the challenges and criticisms to her argument that the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a "new Jim Crow" system of racial control similar to the old Jim Crow laws.
The document summarizes the key events surrounding the murder of Emmett Till in 1955. It discusses that Emmett Till, a 14-year-old boy from Chicago, was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was kidnapped and murdered by Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam for allegedly whistling at Bryant's wife. It notes that the two men were acquitted by an all-white jury despite later admitting to the killing. The document compares the case to the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin and discusses the continued issues of racism.

This document contains citations for 5 different sources used in a research project about women facing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the military and their difficulties in getting treatment. The sources include an CNN interview with female veterans, a newspaper article about gender bias leading to untreated PTSD, an ABC news article on challenges female veterans face at the VA, an email interview with an expert on PTSD, and an article from the VA's website about women and trauma.
Social media played a key role in spreading information about Troy Davis' execution. The author first learned of Davis' death on Facebook, not traditional news sources, showing how social media has changed how news spreads. While Davis is gone, his case highlighted the power of the government over citizens' lives and sparked discussion about capital punishment in Georgia and the U.S. The author argues social media gives everyday citizens a platform to have their voices heard on important issues going forward.
The document provides guidance for finding examples of themes in texts about slavery and women's lives. It lists 5 themes: (1) black men could not protect black women from abuse, (2) love, marriage and family among enslaved people, (3) slave owners viewing women's sexuality and reproduction as their property, (4) black women's resistance to sexual exploitation, and (5) black women taking care of white women and children. It provides page numbers and chapter references for two texts as a starting point for finding examples of each theme.
This document discusses issues facing homeless female veterans such as PTSD, military sexual trauma, and lack of access to safe housing. It highlights several programs that provide housing and support to female veterans including H.O.M.E., S.A.F.E., and PAVE, and lists resources on statistics and services available for homeless female veterans.
It is well know that women are often the victims of domestic violence. However, men and children can also be affected by it. Learn the facts in this presentation.
Two friends hear a news report about a zombie outbreak but leave for a party anyway. While walking home, they feel like they are being followed. They turn down an alley and find a man dressed in black chasing them. He catches and kills both girls, stabbing one in the stomach and the other in the back. The camera then shows the two girls as zombies at the original party location.
Jeffrey Dahmer was one of America's most prolific serial killers, murdering 17 men between 1978 and 1991 in Ohio and Wisconsin. As a teenager, he showed early disturbing behaviors such as dissecting dead animals. Despite several run-ins with the law for indecent exposure and sexual assault of a minor, he was not properly monitored and went on to kill. Dahmer's apartment contained horrific evidence of his cannibalism and necrophilia, including severed heads and bodies stored in the refrigerator and freezer. He was found guilty on 15 counts of murder and sentenced to 15 life terms in prison, where he was beaten to death by another inmate in 1994.
Jeffrey Dahmer was convicted of murdering 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991 in Wisconsin. He engaged in gruesome acts including rape, torture, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism of his victims. Dahmer was born in 1960 and showed strange behaviors from a young age such as dissecting dead animals. He was arrested in 1991 when a intended victim escaped and called police, who discovered body parts in Dahmer's apartment. Dahmer was sentenced to life in prison but was beaten to death by another inmate in 1994.
While losing an election can be frustrating for a political party, it can also have benefits. The formation of the Democratic party by Andrew Jackson's supporters following the controversial 1824 election shows how opposition parties emerging in response to losses can impact American politics. By blocking John Quincy Adams' policies and promoting Jackson's populist message, the new Democratic party gained popularity and influence, allowing Jackson to win the presidency in 1828 and establish himself as a champion of the common man. Thus, losing an election can motivate a party to better organize and refine its message to eventually attain victory.
This document outlines a research project that will examine representations of race in Hollywood horror films. It will do this through a close analysis of two case studies, Blacula and Get Out, supported by secondary sources. The research questions explore how race has historically been portrayed through tropes and stereotypes, if these representations have been challenged, and their potential impact on society. The methodology uses qualitative methods like textual analysis and quantitative analysis of representation statistics. The introduction discusses how African Americans have traditionally been oppressed in film through negative stereotypes that reinforced white dominance, stemming from colonialism and slavery.

The document discusses the Jackass film franchise, including box office numbers and the popularity of the films. It then outlines some of the injuries sustained by the Jackass crew members while performing stunts, as well as legal issues from people copying the stunts. The document concludes by discussing the potential negative effects the films may have on society, such as encouraging risky behavior in youth and normalizing substance abuse issues.
The document summarizes that poverty, lack of opportunity, and systemic inequalities contribute significantly to crime rates, yet the criminal justice system focuses disproportionately on punishing poor and minority individuals. Other threats such as occupational injuries, medical errors, and environmental pollution endanger public health and safety more than street crime but are not treated as criminal matters. The system serves to justify its own existence by defining and pursuing crime in a way that targets the powerless.
The Crucible Historical Context and Literary MeritMrs. Janovitz
The document provides historical context about Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. It discusses that the play was set during the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th century but was intended as an allegory for McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Joseph McCarthy led aggressive investigations to root out communists from the US government and private industries during this time, making reckless accusations without evidence. Miller used the play to draw parallels between the witch hunts of Salem and McCarthy's communist investigations.
The document summarizes several serial killers who were active in Cleveland, Ohio. Michael Madison was caught with 3 decomposing bodies in his home. Richard Eberling confessed to 3 murders in Cleveland but died before further investigation. Edward Edwards' travels matched those of the Zodiac Killer. The Cleveland Torso Murderer killed around 40 victims by decapitation. Anthony Sowell was found with bodies in his home and buried in his yard. Cleveland has been identified as the serial killer capital of the United States due to the high number of serial killers who were either from or active in the area.
Carolyn Thomas was shot in the face by her abusive ex-boyfriend, who also killed her mother. She underwent several reconstructive surgeries to repair damage to her jaw, eye socket, nose, and upper lip. Though she now must use a trachea tube and removable eye socket, Carolyn has become an advocate against domestic violence, sharing her story to educate and empower women.
Jeffrey Dahmer was born in 1960 in Wisconsin and committed his first murder in 1978 by bludgeoning a hitchhiker to death. Between 1991 and his arrest, Dahmer murdered approximately one person per week for a total of 17 victims, many of whom he met at a gay bar. He was captured after one victim escaped from his apartment and led police back, where they discovered human remains including severed heads and limbs. At his trial, Dahmer pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but was found sane and guilty, receiving 15 life sentences totaling 957 years in prison.
The document discusses the Black Lives Matter movement from several perspectives:
- Black Lives Matter aims to address racial inequalities faced by black people but is criticized for not acknowledging issues within black communities or other lives lost to police violence.
- While the movement began focusing on racially motivated police killings, some argue it has lost focus by opposing issues like a public library banning race-exclusive meetings.
- Statistics show more white people, not just black people, are killed by police each year, regardless of race people may be misperceived as armed threats. However, the Black Lives Matter website focuses on spreading their message through social media rather than detailing short-term policy goals.
The document compares and contrasts the Women's Suffrage movement and the Black Lives Matter movement. It discusses how both movements fought for equal rights, with Women's Suffrage gaining women the right to vote in the late 19th/early 20th century and Black Lives Matter forming in response to police killings of black people. The document explores if progress has been made since these movements and questions if the "glass ceiling" will ever be fully cracked when it comes to racial and gender inequalities.

This document provides an introduction to the journal article "Maritime Slavery" by Philip D. Morgan. It discusses how maritime slavery involved the movement of enslaved people as commodities across oceans, but also the roles that slaves played as sailors, pilots, cooks, and other maritime jobs. It explores how the maritime world provided some opportunities for slaves, such as potential wages, literacy, and more autonomy compared to plantation work, but also entailed risks and abuse from racial prejudice. The introduction sets the stage for examining slavery's role within diverse maritime contexts, including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.

The Sexual Abuse of Black Men
under American Slavery
THOMAS A. FOSTER
DePaul University
In 1787 an enslaved man in Maryland raped a free black woman.
The story comes to us from the female victim in the incident, Elizabeth
Amwood. One white man, William Holland, had her "Pull up her Close
and Lie Down he then Called a Negrow Man Slave" "and ordered him to
pull Down his Britches and gitt upon the said Amwood and to bee grate
with her." A fourth individual in this horrific scene, a white man named
John Pettigrew, operating with Holland, pointed a pistol at the unnamed
enslaved man and Elizabeth Amwood. All the while, Holland taunted them
both, asking if it "was in" and "if it was sweet." Afterward, William "went
up into the Company and Called for Water to wash his hand, saying he had
bin putting a Mare to a horse."1
Scholars have suggested that rape can serve as a metaphor for enslave-
ment - thus applying to both men and women who were enslaved. As
Aliyah I. Abdur- Rahman argues, "The vulnerability of all enslaved black
persons to nearly every conceivable violation produced a collective 'raped'
subjectivity."2 The standard scholarly interpretation of how slavery affected
black manhood is perhaps best captured by the comments of one former
slave, Lewis Clarke, who declared that a slave "can't be a man" because he

The document discusses challenges with lethal injections as a method of capital punishment in the United States. It notes that lethal injections have been deemed unsafe as some prisoners have taken hours to die from the injections. Many other countries have banned lethal injections and no longer have the death penalty, and their crime rates remain low. Recent surveys have found that when people are aware of the risks of lethal injections, many oppose their use. The document argues that the United States should reconsider its use of lethal injections and the death penalty overall.
This document summarizes and discusses systemic racism and racial injustice in the United States. It discusses how the killing of George Floyd sparked renewed protests against racial injustice and police brutality. While some argue that these are isolated issues of "bad apples", the document argues that racism is systemic in institutions like policing due to the country's history of scientific racism and racialization. It discusses how white evangelicals in particular tend to deny systemic racism due to their emphasis on individualism and lack of contact with minorities. The document calls for expanding cultural understanding of racial issues through learning from other groups' experiences of injustice and oppression.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.
B. informative outline
Introduction:
George Stinney Jr. was an African American boy born on October 21, 1929 in Pinewood, South Carolina, U.S. He is considered as the youngest person to be executed by the United State government in 20th century.

The document outlines arguments against the death penalty. It argues that the death penalty is problematic because innocent people have been wrongly executed and there is no way to remedy it if new evidence is later found. It also claims that execution methods are cruel and inhumane, and that the death penalty process is more expensive than life imprisonment.
The document summarizes that poverty, lack of opportunity, and systemic inequalities contribute significantly to crime rates, yet the criminal justice system focuses disproportionately on punishing poor and minority individuals. Other threats such as occupational injuries, medical errors, and environmental pollution endanger public health and safety more than street crime but are not treated as criminal matters.
The document discusses how poverty contributes to crime due to lack of opportunities and need, while wealthier acts such as price fixing and embezzlement are not typically labeled as crimes. It argues that the criminal justice system disproportionately targets and imprisons poor, young, urban minorities for petty street crimes, while more serious harms from occupations, healthcare, and corporations are often not pursued criminally.

Victim Population of Jack The Ripper
Five women are thought to have been murdered by a single man known as Jack the
Ripper. Jack the Ripper was said to have had eleven victims, but only five are confirmed. The
first of the five victims are Mary Ann Nichols. Mary Ann was born in 1845 in London. She and
her husband had five children before divorcing in 1881 for unspecified reasons. Mary Ann
worked in workhouses and as a maidservant after they divorced, but neither job lasted long. To
make ends meet, she eventually turned to prostitution. Mary Ann lived in public lodgings and
was known to be arrested for drunkness and disorderly conduct.
The next known victim of Jack the Ripper was Annie Chapman. Annie was born Eliza
Ann Smith in London around 1840. In 1869, she married John Chapman, and they had three
children. Due to excessive drinking, the marriage eventually fell apart, and Annie moved to
Whitechapel. Crochet work and flower sales supplemented her income, which was supplemented
by occasional prostitution. Like Mary Ann, Annie was known to drink excessively and lived in
public lodging. People report that Dark Annie" was a hostile person and often got involved in
physical altercations with other women. Violent behavior from Annie was especially true when
she drank (Holmes and Holmes, 2009).
The third victim of Jack the Ripper was Elizabeth Stride. Elizabeth Gustafsdotter was
born in the Swedish town of Torslanda in the year 1843. Elizabeth turned to prostitution after a
failed marriage and was repeatedly apprehended by police. She supported herself by sewing,
housecleaning, and prostitution during their on-again, off-again relationship. Elizabeth was not
well educated, drank heavily, and lived in public lodgings. Gustafsdotter was the only victim that
body was not brutally mutilated because many believe his efforts were interrupted.

The fourth victim of Jack the Ripper is Catherine Eddowes. Catherine Eddowes, born in
1942, moved around England a few times before settling in London with her boyfriend, Thomas
Conway, and their three children. By 1880, she had abandoned her family, taken to drinking, and
was sharing a lodging house with a new partner. Catherine worked odd jobs to supplement her
income and turned to casual prostitution to fund her alcohol addiction. Catherine had a great deal
of facial and body mutilation. I speculate the excessive mutilation was because he was not able
to finish the job with.
The document summarizes the covered history of the LGBT community from 1942 to 2015. It discusses key events such as the banning of homosexuality in the military in 1942, the first American sex change surgery in 1953, the creation of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in 1993, Obama becoming the first president to support same-sex marriage in 2012, and the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015. The history shows the progression from non-acceptance to greater freedom and rights for the LGBT community over the last century due to influential people and social movements.

Editor's Notes
Team B’s Ethical Scrapbook Project
Ethics: A set of principles of right conduct, which means a general set of rules that humans live within to be morally accepted within a professional environment… ~Good Samaritan conduct or random acts of kindness ~Acts of vigilantism & violating the law to enforce the law ~Acts of civil disobedience & violating the law to change the law ~Three criminal acts committed by professionals in the course of their employment other than criminal justice professionals in which the defendant was believed to have violated the ethical standards of his or her profession.
In Kings Mountain there was a car wreck. A women driver and a good Samaritan who was trying to help the woman get out of her car. The good Samaritan and his wife was passing when they saw the women trying to get out of her car. She was pinned against the guardrail behind the truck. Everything was happening so fast, a snap-on company truck was coming towards the husband and wife. The husband saw the car coming. The husband then pushed his wife out the way and let the truck hit instead. The husband got pinned to the guardrail. Both the women and the man were rushed to the hospital for their injuries. It is told that they will be ok.
Johnnie Shaw had disappeared from his apartment on Friday evening in Grand Rapids; I. Shaw suffers from dementia and uses a cane to walk with. A Good Samaritan saw Shaw having some problems walking in the snow and stopped to see if he needed any help. The man was worried about Shaw well beings and took him to his home where he gave him some food and shelter. The next morning the man took Shaw to the Lutheran church in Kent County to see if they would be able to help him with a room. The pastor had decided to call the Kent County department and that’s when they found out that Shaw was reported missing. Shaw was taken back home and caretaker.
A good Samaritan jumped into action and made an amazing rescue. Early Tuesday morning after seeing a truck that he believed maybe carrying a 8 year old girl that had been kidnapped. The man followed the truck trying to cut the man off the road. He start yelling to the man that the little girl was not his child and that he needs to stop the truck. The man yelled back and said he didn’t have time to talk because his battery was about to die. The man manage to cut the man off. Once he did the man pushed the little girl out of the car, then he drove off. The police had caught up to him about 40 minutes later down the road.
Jonathon Edington, a 29-year-old patent attorney, allegedly snapped after his wife told him their next door neighbor had molested their 2-year-old daughter. Edington’s wife and daughter were out of town when she broke the news to him over the telephone. After Edington hung up the phone, he allegedly went next door, climbed through a bedroom window, and stabbed 59-year-old Barry James to death while his elderly parents were in the house. Police reportedly found Mr. Edington back in his home, talking on a phone, standing at the kitchen sink, washing blood off his hands, a bloody knife on the counter nearby. When the story first broke a few months ago, the media seemed to have labeled this a case of “vigilante justice,” almost endorsing the defendant’s actions by seeming to cheer and applaud and say, “If someone did this to your kid, wouldn’t you kill him too?” But from the very beginning, when this story broke, I countered this approach saying the taking of a life is homicide, no matter what the reason, except for legally justified homicides such as self-defense or defense of another.
Amanda Cunningham said she vividly recalls the day her Uncle Coy raped her. "I remember I had my purple Little Mermaid shirt on," she told ABC News. "He told me to take my clothes off, and I said no, so he took them off me." (ABC News) She was 9 years old. Coy Hundley was drunk, Amanda said, but that wasn't unusual. He would rape her again a few months later, she testified in court. Nearly five years later, in the fall of 2003, Amanda's mother, Kimberly Cunningham, finally learned of the alleged attacks. What happened next was the talk of Knoxville, Tenn., for years. Kimberly got into her car and drove to the tool company where Hundley worked. She called him out into the parking lot. Cunningham said that she was praying he would deny the rape. Instead, she said Hundley, 39, laughed at her. "What are you going to do about it?" he allegedly said. Kimberly shot him five times, reloaded the weapon and fired five more rounds, killing him. "I'll never forget him laughing at me," she testified at trial, according to court transcripts. Witnesses said that after Kimberly shot Hundley, she got back into her car, pulled out of the parking lot and up to the road, put her blinker on and calmly drove away. Forty-five minutes later, she was in the Alcoa, Tenn., Police Department, turning in her nickel-plated revolver and telling police there had been a shooting.
Preceding the Revolutionary War, British laws were disobeyed by colonists in protest against the harshness of British rule. People protesting against the Stamp Act of 1765 (Act granting & applying stamp duties, & other duties, within British colonies & plantations in America. This would aid in relieving expenses of defending, protecting, & securing the same; & for amending such parts of several acts of parliament). Also, expression against the Tea Act. Tea was dropped off on the docks and left to rot. Tea was also dumped into the Boston Harbor to protest against damaging or weakening the business and sale with local merchants. The tea was wasted instead of sold at a bargain price.
The Fugitive Slave Act was created in 1793. This Act required the return of any escaped slaves back to their masters. This Act was violated constantly by people who tried to hide and help the slaves. In 1830, an escaped slave was brought into federal court & instead of the courts imprisoning the slave or returning him to his master, anti-slavery people stood up for the slave & he was set free. The anti-slavery people were not charged with violating the Fugitive Slave Act because the moral reasoning behind helping the slave superseded that of the importance to follow the law set in place against slaves.
People of all races participated in “sit-ins” to emphasize how segregated the whites wanted to be & how blacks thought segregation was unfair and demeaning. This protest caused all races to come together at the cost of segregation to emphasize the importance of equality in civil rights and the evolution in the honor and respect of each other. Whites may not have looked at it that way, but the time would come when equal rights would be distributed evenly across the board. 75 students were arrested in The Tennessean on February 28, 1960.
EISHA: Bernard Madoff was a former American stock broker, investment adviser, and non executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market, and the admitted operator of what was described to be the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Ponzi scheme is a fraud operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent a fraud investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. In March 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a massive Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars. JAMES: Former Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling have been found guilty of fraud and conspiracy. Lay, 64, was convicted on all six counts against him, including conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. He faces a maximum of 45 years in prison. Lay also faces 120 years in prison in a separate case. Lay posted a $5 million bond secured with family-owned properties at a hearing following the verdict. He was ordered to stay in the Southern District of Texas or Colorado. "I firmly believe I'm innocent of the charges against me," Lay said following the hearing. "We believe that God in fact is in control and indeed he does work all things for good for those who love the lord." http://abcnews.go.com/Business/LegalCenter/story?id=2003728&page=1 Deputies from the Pitkin County, Colo., sheriff's office were called to the rental property at 1:41 a.m. Mountain time to respond to a medical emergency. An ambulance took Lay to Aspen Valley Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:11 a.m., a hospital administrator said. Robert Kurtzman, a forensic pathologist who performed an autopsy on Lay's body yesterday, said the immediate cause of death was coronary artery disease. Pitkin County As of the census [4] of 2000, there were 14,872 people, 6,807 households, and 3,185 families residing in the county. The population density was 15 people per square mile (6/km²). There were 10,096 housing units at an average density of 10 per square mile The median income for a household in the county was $59,375, and the median income for a family was $75,048. Males had a median income of $40,672 versus $33,896 for females. The per capita income for the county was $40,811. About 3.00% of families and 6.20% of the population were below the poverty line , including 4.40% of those under age 18 and 5.60% of those age 65 or over. TONIA: In February 1983, a grand jury was convened to look into 47 suspicious deaths of children at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital that had occurred over a period of four years. The grand jury indicted Jones on two counts of murder, and several charges of injury to six other children. Instead of taking advantage of passion for accommodating others, Jones took for granted the access to ruining lives.
