This article is about a man named Sabein Burgess.This event happened in Baltimore.This event happened February 21, 2014.Sabein Burgess was cleared of a murder after spending 20 years behind bars. He was innocent of the killing they accused him of. While he was imprisoned, evidence was gathered over the years. Which ultimately led to his release. It breaks my heart to hear about an innocent man missing the most important years of his life. He missed out on many things you can’t redo, because of the court systems wrongful accusations.This article relates to civis because it touches on the 6th amendment. Sabein did not have a fair trial whatsoever. He was treated like a dog.

Who: This article involves Alabama trying to abolish the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteWhere: This happened in Alabama.
When: This has been a big issue since 1989.
What: This article is about Alabama trying to get rid of the death penalty, but the all republican government thinks otherwise. More than 300 prisoners have been on death row in Alabama and some of them are on trial for wrongful convictions. Others argue that the death penalty brings closure to the family of the murdered victim, and some argue that it is cruel punishment.
Opinion: I think that the death penalty does not serve justice. I think that it the easy way out so that the murderer does not have to suffer in prison. I think that suffering in prison is a better punishment because dying would mean you did not suffer, your life was just ended quicker.
Civics: This article relates to civics because cruel and unusal punishment is against is a violation of the 8th Amendment. It is deprives someone of life and liberty.

1. Who is the article about? This article is about 31 year old Adrian Thomas, sentenced to 25 years to life for the murder of his 4 month year old son, Matthew.
ReplyDelete2. Where did the event happen? This event took place in Albany, New York. The trial was also held here.
3. When did the event happen? The murdering of baby Matthew took place in January. The Trial took place not to long after , sources have things said in trial on January 17.
4. What is the article about? This Article is about how during the interrogation of Adrian the police lied to get information. The article shows that the case is being continued because Adrian was sentenced in 2009. The Police took Adrian that his son, who was already dead, would live if he confessed that it was not an accident. The doctors in the court still do not know what actually killed little Matthew. Whether it was the infection he had previously or the head injury he received when Adrian accidentally dropped him 4 to 6 inches above the crib down to the bottom. The court of appeals originally threw out the case but it was reopened.
5. What is your opinion of this article? I feel that the situation is sad. How can someone be so careless with a baby. I know for a fact that its easy to have your hands full and drop things but not a baby. A parent should only protect and nurture their child. Adrian might have actually made a mistake and did not mean to drop the baby but, due to the infection that the baby already had, he should have been extra careful.
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? This case involves the court of appeals and a criminal system procedure.

This event happened in the city of Baltimore.
3. When did the event happen?
This event happened on February 21,2014 but the murder scene happened in the year of 1994.
4. What is the article about?
This article is about Burgess being cleared from a murder of 19 years in prison. What happened was two men, one name Charles Dorsey was the real killers of Michelle Dyson. Burgess was proven guilty because when the police arrived he had the gun powder on his hand, however in the beginning of the last decade, the Baltimore police lab called in to question the gunshot residue evidence. Later on Dorsey reached out to Burgess mother saying that he is behind Michelle's murder. Also Michelle son came forward to say that he seen the two guys and he was laying in his bead when the gunshots went off. The evidence showed that Burgess was innocent and he was freed.
5. What is your opinion of this article?
I am shocked by reading this article and confused at the same time. Its crazy to me how the man waits over 10 years to confess to a crime he committed. But i am questioning on what made him shoot and kill the girl. I'm glad that hes release because i would probably furious sitting in prison for a crime i did not commit.

- This relates to what we learned in class because Burgess was wrongly accused. He was accused because his defense attorney did not properly gather the evidence he need to prove he was innocent. This goes back to sixth amendment about the proper adequate counsel.

3. When did the event happen? This event happened in the year 2009.
4. What is this article about? This article provided information of a case that has to do with a man named Troy. Troy was convicted of murdering his 4-month old son. It was said that police lied to him and told him that if he did not admit to committing the murder then his son would die, when really his son had already passed. They made it seem as if everything was ok and that Troy would not get into any trouble which he doesn’t deserve to because he did not commit the crime. Troy said that months before when putting the baby into the crib he accidently dropped the baby and the baby hit his head pretty hard. Also there were reports that Troy’s other kids had no signs of abuse or being mistreated, so the police accusations were all wrong and unfair because of the way the lied.
5. What is your opinion of this article? My opinion of this article is that it wrong for the police to lie to someone and on continue the lie so much to take it to court. That just goes to show how heartless one can be be and how unjust the laws are because after reading that article I am convince that Troy is innocent. But then again there is two sides to one story,
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? This article relates to what I have learned in civics because as in class we viewed and read about a lot of cases that were unconstitutional and unfair. How we continually see innocent individuals be convicted of something they did not do because of one person’s lie. This case in my opinion goes against the sixth amendment because Troy did not have a fair trial.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: "Man cleared of murder after 19 years in prison"
Article Date: February 21, 2014
The American justice system is arguably the most credible justice system in the world, but it is certainly not perfect. In 1994, Sabien Burgess was convicted of the murder of his girlfriend, Michelle Dorsy. It took law enforcement officials 19 years before they found faults in their original conviction. At the time of his arrest, Sabien was found with a chemical substance on his hands that, when tested, came back as positive for gun powder. However, the justice system released Sabien in 2014 on the grounds that the chemical substance could've been from him actually holding his dead girlfriend in his hands, as opposed to him holding the gun itself. Sabien was wrongly convicted of the murder of Dorsy and now has to fit back into the mold of society despite his innocence.
Law enforcement officials are not always the most reliable source. Sometimes, officials do not delve into the case enough and simply arrest the "obvious" person to arrest, such as whomever was closest to the victim, without even considering anyone else.
This case can be connected to the case of Dwight Dexter, in the sense that because Dexter was the last person to see Floyd Babb alive, he was automatically convicted, though anyone could've killed Babb. Law enforcement officials didn't dig deep enough into the case for Dexter to be proven innocent. The American justice system is great is some aspects, but when it comes to who's innocent and who's guilty, there is some much-needed room for improvement.

1. This Article is about how a man named Sabein C. Burgess was convicted of a crime, but after all the trials he was let free. After spending 19 years in prison without punishment.
ReplyDelete2. This happened in Baltimore City Circuit Court
3. It started on Oct. 1994
4. Burgess was convicted of first degree murder, after allegedly killing his girlfriend in the basement of their house. Evidence was found that Burgess had gunpowder on his hands and residue from the gun. Neighbors heard shots so police were call. when pull into handcuffs he was read his rights. Then trials were set ,but there was a snowstorm. So it was delayed. After delaying trials and new evidence coming up like confessions. It was 19 years when he received his trial. So the judge decided to let him go.
5. I think that his rights was violated. There should be no reason for someone to wait 19 years before being trial. Then to find out that he was innocent the whole time. The evidence should have been pull on the table unless there was an adequate counsel somewhere.
6. In Civics we learned that you have the right to a speedy trial, but he didn't get a trial at all until 19 years later. Which is another right violated.

ReplyDeleteWho:This is about Sabein C.Burgess, Judge Charles J.Peters, Latasha McFadden, Gerald Goldstein,and Charles Dorsey
Where: This happened in Baltimore
When:This happen October 5,1994
What:This article is about a man named Sabein Burgess being accused of killing his girlfriend Michelle Dyson and he did 2 years in jail before someone that was closed to Mr.Burgess named Charles Dorsey confess that he was the one that killed Michelle Dyson.
Opinion:My opinion is disgusted because I don't think he would have killed his girlfriend and he was very heartbroken about it and then to find out that someone that he was closed to killed his girlfriend that is really sad.
Relate: This relate to civics because the police officer just thought he was guilty and they didn't check the evidence right because they just took their time and they just assume that Mr.Burgess was guilty this is just like the Dwight Dexter case because his attorney didn't look at the evidence and they just thought he was guilty.

4. What is the article about?
This acticle is about how a man was wrongly convicted of killing his girlfriend. Burgess spent 19 years in prison when the victims son came forth and testified that Burgess was not the murder, this combined with shaky evidence in the original case, and a confession from the actual murder led to Burgess's freedom.
5. What is your opinion of this article?
This is a tragic story of how an innocent man felt the wrath of the judicial system. All Sabein Burgess did was tell his account of what happpened that and was sent to prison for it. In this abut cases like this article Burgess brings up how he thought he was only on trial because he thought that he was a convincing closing agruement, a young black man. This case happened in 1994 but cases like this happen every day.
6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics?

By. Paul Sonne & Gregory L. White
Who: Russian President Putin was involve in trying to make peace with Ukrainian President Poroshenko.
What happened: President Putin made a cease peace deal with Ukraine to backed off Russian Supremacist. President Putin said that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko are very close into a deal. In this compromise it would end the 5 months rebel offense but the Ukrainian troops would have to push back too. They would also implement a joint peaceful compromise to end the Ukrainian-Russian crisis. It’s been a whole 5 decades since the whole Russian government decide to take little by little of Ukraine. In 1954 city that Russia took control of was Crimea. What they did was annex the Peninsula by sending in troops. Russia now is very much bigger than Ukraine and have better opportunities and advances than Ukraine. Some may call it bullying because Ukraine is smaller. Russia is purposely taking all of Ukrainian borders to cripple them. Some people believe that Obama and the US should get involve and help the Ukrainian citizens. While others say US should stay out of the problem.
Why it is relevant: This article is relevant because it shows Russia trying to get supperalism over Ukraine and become more of a super nation that it is. It can also hurt are alliances because Ukraine is a huge ally to US.
Reaction: My reaction to this article is sad because Russia is trying to take control over a nation that has less advanced than the super nation that Russia.
Opinion: It makes me sick that a big vast nation that Russia is would actually try to control the small nation that Ukraine is. I believe that Russia should be helping gain Ukraine trust instead of trying to cripple them.
Connection: I chose this article because we are trying to stop bullying but we fail to realize that they're doing it to countries. Dont you know countries have people in them and that you're scaring them.
