... of there legal right of innocent until proven guilty before we can start accusing them publicly. There is no reason to believe what is being said in the media until there is some definite truth in the case . I mean just because the cops may have beliefs that there is guilt means nothing . After all the FBI gave the media information and it was plain and simply wrong . The way the FBI handled the case was atrocious and intolerable. Who can we the public trust if we can't even trust a government legal authority? Who are we to go to at that point when the government agencies are falsely accusing us ? I guess that Richard Jewell was just lucky enough to have a brave lawyer that cared and ...

... the federal law or appeal it in court. There is another drug that is illegal to use in any way but for medical reasons. That drug is morphine, it is used in hospitals to relieve the sever pain of any patient. The reason I know this is that recently my mother was in the hospital for a brain aneurysm and when she got headaches she was given morphine. This is just like what is going on in California, people diagnosed with AIDS and other illnesses should be able to use strong medicines including marijuana to ease the suffering that they are experiencing. Especially in California where there are more AIDS cases there than any other place in the nation. All over the ...

... as medical drug which is proven to be less dangerous than cocaine and morphine. Lobbying groups in a San Diego, California , council committee unanimously voted to urge president Bill Clinton and congress to end federal restrictions against the use of marijuana for " legitiment medical use."

... they might have been contaminated by industrial wastes. The two main defendants were the W.R. Grace corporation, a chemical and manufacturing giant that built stainless steel equipment at a plant in Woburn, and Beatrice Foods, another mega-corporation, which operated a tannery there. Toxic chemicals from these operations, many thought, had leaked in and contaminated the wells. The most serious of these chemicals was a carcinogen called trichloroethylene, a solvent used to dissolve grease and oil, which explained the leukemia. In civil suits, the plaintiff wants justice to be served because they claim one to be responsible for their hurt. They want the defendants to pay, in terms of m ...

... rapes happen between two people who know each other. The F.B.I. says that several studies show that fewer than one in a hundred acquaintce rapes are reported to the police. "When one in four women will be raped in her lifetime, less than ten percent will report the assualt, and less than five percent of the rapist will go to jail." (Gibbs, 207) In this country a women was raped every six minutes, ten women every hour. In a twelve month period 76 per 1000 college women experienced one or more attempted or completed rapes. Rape is accounted for six percent of the total violent crime volume. Acuiantance rape and date rape are against the law. Most people have a lot of incorrect ideas about ...

... road. More than 20 states have a program where first time offenders (or those who refuse a Breathalyzer test) are forced to face a panel of drunken driving victim’s families. Liability on bars, parents, and others who buy for minors has increased. In the website www.aaahoosier.com, teens can chat about driving safety with parents. In SADD and the program “Safe Rides,” children are less likely to drive home while intoxicated because someone sober guarantees them a safe ride home. Also, Hollywood is doing its part to reverse peer pressure when it comes to drinking and driving. They said’ “If peer pressure can cause people to drink and drive, it should be able to prevent it to ...

... expression of raison d'etat, the "interests of the state", and aims to serve the state, as well as protect the state by giving its rights and duties. This is done through treaties and other consensual engagements which are legally binding. The case-law of the ICJ is an important aspect of the UN's contribution to the development of international law. It's judgements and advisory opinions permeates into the international legal community not only through its decisions as such but through the wider implications of its methodology and reasoning. The successful resolution of the border dispute between Burkina Faso and Mali in the 1986 Frontier Dispute case illustrates the utilit ...

... Provincial Courtrooms were general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, even while the court was in session, the defence lawyer asked if he could persuade the judge into a lighter sentence after the judge had already made a decision in a very easy and friendly tone of voice, something seemly unprofessional that caused chuckles throughout the courtroom. Where in the Ontario Supreme Court the atmosphere was much more serious, professional, strict and at times high in tension. Our current bail system, in either monetary terms or personal recognizance, seemed pretty successful in Provincial Court, though no ...

... while on the other hand, girls are brought up being passive and "what you say goes" (Shuker-Haines and Stark 23) . This shouldn't be going on in our society...not with the advancements we have made in our country. It is sometimes said that the woman who was the victim of rape shared fault for the rape for wearing a skirt too short, or maybe if she stops over at his house. It shouldn't matter what women wear, or where they are. If a woman says no to sexual activity, then everything should stop. There are also ways that men "mis-interperate" things women say. For instance, when women say "no", they mean "not yet...keep trying", or men think it is okay to be rough, as long as ...

... do? Serial killers usually have reasons for killing, they just don't go out and kill anyone (the majority). A serial killer will plan out where, when, why, and how before they actually kill. Ted Bundy used to lure his victims with a phony cast on his leg. Others lured with the promise of sex or porno movies. When they kill they usually have their own style. The Son of Sam used a .44 Cal, Dahmer killed various ways and then hacked his victims into several pieces, dumping the bodies into vats of acid, and Gacy molested little boys before strangling them and dumping them into the crawl space under his home. What makes a serial killer? A serial killer tends to be white, male, and ...
