False Charges

Decent Essays
I may fail and become weak. God is strong and mighty and offers eternal comfort when I question or doubt.

I was a wreck as I watched our bank account go further and further into the negative. I was took my frustration out on everybody including God. My husband kept telling me “ It will work out. Quit stressing about it.” Which only managed to stress me out more. But he did take care of it and as of today, all of the charges have been reversed. It's ridiculous to get that worked up about something that I had no control over. I knew God could handle it but for some reason, I always think I can do a better

    Wrongful Conviction On the morning of August 10, 1984, Deborah Sykes was brutally stabbed, sexually assaulted, and eventually killed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The man convicted for her murder was Darryl Hunt, a 19 year old boy that would go on to spend 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Hunt was convicted based on eye-witness testimony and informants, but was later exonerated based on DNA evidence that matched a man that was caught just a few months after the murder took place. This case is an exemplar of the strength of DNA evidence and the fragility of eyewitness testimony.…

    By almost any measure, the federal prosecutor's wielded too much power. Many federal laws govern similar behavior and are written broadly, prosecutor's commonly have multiple charges from which to chose. This means they typically have many sentencing ranges to chose from as well. Thus, they can--and do--threaten defendants who want to exercise their trial rights with charges that will carry longer sentences than the charges will file if defendants who refuse to waive their rights to a jury trial receive a sentence three times longer than who pled. And with the prevalence of mandatory minimum laws, a prosecutor's charging decisions often dictate a sentence that a judge is powerless to avoid.…

Despite being given a derogatory colloquial name; the statute serves an essential purpose for dependency in government contracting. The law was strengthened in 1986 to provide a penalty of tremble damages in addition to 10,000 dollars per false claim against the defendant. The “whistle-blower,” now given the more pleasant term of “relator” may now collect between 15 and 30 percent of the recovery in these “qui tam” lawsuits. The recovery reward provides a great incentive for whistle blowers to act and maintain reliability within the federal contact industry.…

    I do believe deception or lying by law enforcement is a justifiable interrogation technique. With that being said, caution should be taken when the decision to utilize such a technique as to prevent violating someone’s rights and prevention of any confessions being ruled coerced by the courts. In American history, police regularly used brutality to obtain information from a suspect (Skolnick & Leo, 1992). Due to things such as the Wickersham report from the 1920’s, changes in law, and implementation of Miranda rights, this practice has almost completely gone away (Skolnick & Leo, 1992). Today, deception is an invaluable tool to law enforcement to investigate crime and one reason I believe in its merits is that fact that it is allowed by law (Skolnick & Leo, 1992).…

God does not always answer us when we want Him to, but He does hear us and in His time He will move on what we ask Him for. Personally, my decisions have not always been led by God, but I do frequently ask Him for guidance and for His advice. When I do something that is not of his liking, I talk to God about it and ask Him to help me through the situation and ask for forgiveness.…
