.... for their senseless acts. One case that is most irritating to me was when OJ Simpson was being sued for the wrongful death of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. If he was acquitted for the murders of these individuals, how could he be held liable for their deaths civilly? Whether or not he did do the crime the fact remains in the eyes of the law he was found innocent and therefore should not be able to be held accountable for their wrongful deaths. What was amazing about the case is the amount of money that was awarded to the families when they stated it wasn’t about the money. If it wasn’t about the money then why did they bother with the suit in the .....

.... the death penalty really scare criminals off and make them think twice about committing a crime? Is the death penalty fair to everyone, even the minorities and the poor? How does mental illness and retardation come into play? When a person is sentenced to death by lethal injection in New Jersey, the provisions of N.J.S. 2C: 11-3 say that the "punishment shall be imposed by continuous, intravenous administration until the person is dead of a lethal quantity of an ultrashot acting barbiturate in combination with a chemical paralytic agent in a quantity sufficient to cause death." Prior to the lethal injection, the person shall be sedated by a licensed .....

.... duties included making sure that no unauthorized people may enter the scene. They also have to protect all possible evidences left by the suspect. In the Simpson case, the officers did not do a very good job at securing the scene. They had allowed unauthorized officers the go through the scene, thus causing some contamination to the crime scene. This error had allowed the defense to attack the creditability of the police department. CAUSE AND TIME OF DEATH When the officers first arrived the scene, they saw two people lying in a pool of blood. The officers did not know if they were dead and if they were, how and when. After the medical examiner lo .....

.... In the ”Medical Model” when a person makes the same decision, it is believed that there are forces beyond that person’s control that caused him/her to make the decision. For example, in the United States Penitentiary, Atlanta, an inmate brutally stabbed a correctional officer to death with a homemade knife. This inmate is not allowed to possess or manufacture such weapons and has no need for such a weapon. Under the “Justice Model” this inmate is held accountable for the life that he had just taken by receiving the death penalty, but the “ Medical Model” would have sentenced this inmate to a number of rehabilitation programs believing that this decision .....

.... Counterfeiting U.S. currency is an illegal practice that has has been around for years and, unfortunately,is getting worse. "Last year, ...the Secret Service cooperated with the Italian authorities' seizure of $43.8 million in counterfeit U.S. currency, Germany's capture of more than $19 million in counterfeit cash, and the Canadian authorities; seizure of than $129 million in counterfeit U.S. currency."

Ask any police chief of any major cities in this country and they will tell you the problem in violence is that how the weapons are more powerful and they are used more frequently." B. Number of other teen murders by other means has remained the same Montgomery, 96' (Knight-Ridder, July 8) "Noting that the number of gang murders by juviniles has tripled since 1980 while the number of teen murders by all other means has stayed the same."

.... would obviously stop being crimes. "Selling drugs to children would continue to be criminal, and other evasions of government regulation of a legal market would continue to be prosecuted; but by and large the drug connection that now accounts for all of the criminal-justice costs noted above would be severed" (Lindsmith Center). Second, many illicit-drug users commit crimes such as robbery and burglary, as well as drug dealing, prostitution, and many others, to earn enough money to purchase the relatively high-priced illicit drugs. "Unlike the millions of alcoholics who can support their habits for relatively modest amounts, many cocaine and heroin addicts .....
