After reviewing the instructional materials, please respond fully to two of the questions below. Make sure to cite to the sources you utilized, as applicable, to support your responses. You will be unable to view other classmates’ posts until you have submitted your own. (A) Do some research about the “Casey Anthony murder case.” You might be familiar with this case, which happened in Florida and was widely publicized. Identify at least 3-4 sources that discuss the case, and offer a brief summary of what happened. Discuss what degree of murder Casey Anthony was charged with, and the jury’s reasoning for finding her not guilty. What are your thoughts on this case? What errors did the prosecution make, if any? *Pay careful attention to the elements of the crimes. (B) After reading the article “Can It Be Murder If You Didn’t Kill Anyone?,” please share your thoughts on the issue presented in it–the felony murder rule. Should individuals who are present at the scene of a crime and serve as getaway drivers or lookouts, but do not actually murder a person, be charged with first degree murder and sentenced the same way as the person who performed the killing? Assert your argument and offer at least one outside source for support. (C) Do some research and identify a widely publicized kidnapping (abduction) or false imprisonment case. Explain the factual background of what happened, the charges the defendant received, whether there were any aggravating circumstances, and the outcome of the case. Explain whether any laws were created as a result of the situation. Then, do some research to find data on the frequency of kidnapping and/or false imprisonment cases. Cite to all sources referenced. (D) Do some research and discuss an organization whose mission is to educate people about sexual violence and protect victims of sexual violence. This organization may be local or state (any state is acceptable; not just the one where you live), national, or even international. Offer a link to the organization’s website and explain what the organization does to fulfill its goals of awareness, prevention, legislation changes, etc.
