Johnny Juneau's Case Overview

The cashier stated that the couple had smelled like gas. She also asked them if they had been working on cars. The cashier stated that the couple did not answer the question, and they asked if they could have change for a $10. Robert then told the cashier to take all of the money out of the cash register. He pulled out a water bottle filled with gasoline and a lighter. He told the woman that if she did not give him the money, then he would light her on fire.

While appealing to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, the petitioner argued, “that the trial court erred in failing to disregard the jury’s answer to the mental-retardation special issue and in denying the appellant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” 270 S.W3d 13 (Tex. Cr. App. 2010). The petitioner argued that “because he introduced expert witnesses to demonstrate mental retardation and the State did not introduce its own expert witnesses in rebuttal, the trial court should have disregarded the jury’s answer to the mental-retardation special issue or granted his motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” 270 S.W.3d 13 (Tex. Cr. App. 2010). The Texas court found that the burden of proof to determine intellectual disability fell to the petitioner and that there was “no authority,

One major injustice Stevenson describes is how the mentally disabled are often unjustly targeted, incarcerated and stripped of their rights once they are convicted of a crime, despite evidence from expert testimony and facts proving their innocence. According to Stevenson, mentally disabled minorities are often an easy target of unjust incarceration because of their economic and psychological vulnerabilities. According to Stevenson, the “Inability of many disabled, low-income people to receive treatment or necessary medication dramatically increased their likelihood of a police encounter that would result in jail or prison time” (188). He asserts that this phenomenon is likely attributed to the

As I viewed the case of Gary L. Sampson, 41, he can best be described as a man dependent on liquor and cocaine, a miscreant father, and a bank burglar with a long history of brutality. On August 1, 2001, he handed himself over to the Vermont State Police in the wake of escaping from interest for a string of three killings he submitted in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The individuals who knew Sampson estimated that his homicides were an urgent finale to a pained life. Amid his initial life in New England, he once bound, choked, and beat three elderly ladies in a treat store. He had commandeered autos at knifepoint and was therapeutically analyzed as schizophrenic. In 1977, he wedded a 17-year-old young lady he had impregnated; after two months, he was captured and accused of assault for having "unnatural intercourse with a

Individuals with cognitive and intellectual disabilities being punished to the same degree as fully able-minded individuals who with full cognizance committed criminal and even violent offenses. It is in this chapter discussing the mass incarceration of mentally ill that Stevenson introduces us to Avery Jenkins, who was profoundly mentally disabled. Jenkins in our first impressions of him, only wants one thing from Stevenson: a chocolate milkshake. Although Stevenson was unable to provide him with what he wanted that day, the promise for a future deliver brought happiness to the man. It was in this instance that we learn Avery Jenkins suffered a great deal in life prior to the time he committed the brutal murder that would imprison

I totally do not agree with the decision that the courts made in this case. If anything I could see the case being dropped to a lower charge. I can see that being criminal trespass of some sort, but definitely not rape. It stated at the very beginning that Ms. Wilson insisted that Mr. Valdez use protection to prevent her from getting a disease or pregnant. So to me that is giving him permission to have sex with her. I also do not see where it states anywhere, that Ms. Wilson told Mr. Valdez no or stop. Unless that is information that is missing form this article. Also something that is missing if the case was that Ms. Wilson was telling Mr. Valdez no or stop, but since he wouldn't she just informed him to just at least use a condom for her protection. So if that was

Nova Scotia politician Steve Sampson, a member of Richmond County council says that he has been blackmailed over a mail escort. Sampson says that he recently received an anonymous letter that shows a call from his hotel room to a male escort agency. In the letter, the blackmailer had written that they will release a copy of a hotel bill from February 2014, unless Sampson resigns from his position and promises not to run for office again. Sampson had later confirmed that the bill included a phone call to a male escort service, incurred while he was on county business in Seattle, Washington. Sampson said that he trusted local residents to weigh the motives of the blackmailer against his conduct during twenty-five years as a councilor. He said

On March 10 AGL received a surrender form, but was rejected, because it was missing the Notary signature. The client and client’s niece Trudie Gardner attempted to have client’s bank PNC notarized the form, however, PNC suspected the client was being manipulated by her niece and refused to notarize the form. PNC suspicions are based on observing the client’s behavior; the client is unable to speak and appears mentally incompetent.

John Forrest felt that the jury had made multiple mistakes during his trial; therefore, leading him to appeal on those things as follow. Mr. Forrest felt that the jury instructions constitute reversible error and felt he deserved a new jury. It was denied by the courts concerning the issue that was given of malice. He also argued that the instructions given by the courts was inadequate and misleading because it failed to define the phrase, “just cause, excuse or justification thus improperly suggesting the exculpatory evidence did not negate malice or show heat of passion. Mr. Forrest also appealed that the trial court committed reversible error when it inquired into the

After his IUSD appointment, Mr. Haley was seen by his internist and received a prescription to help alleviate his foot pain. What’s the most likely reason for his foot pain and which medication would you expect his internist prescribed? (3 pts)

Mike Manrod, mention how teamwork had already been established. It appeared that a team group already existed and he explained how accustomed he was collaborating with others. He expressed on a normal day getting a cup of coffee involved collaborating with others and he stated that the beauty of the types of work was a mixture of human interactions and technology interaction and just respectable old fashioned problem solving. Mike stated that the military had given him a foundation that he will be forever grateful for and it taught him the most important thing within any great endeavor were the people he work with to collaborate together as one unit to accomplish his mission. That explains that he was given a high profile team that had already gone through communication, effective listening, collaboration, constructive conflict/ destructive conflict and etc. (Lessons Learned and trust).

Mr. Marchand is patient followed for hypertension, and gout, and hypothyroidism. He has generally been under better control with his hypertension, but he has had persistent foot pain, worse on the right than the left that appears likely to be gout involvement of his second MTP on the right. The pain that he has in his left foot is a little proximal to the MTP joint, but in the same area and it may be in the transverse fascial band on the forefoot. His repeat uric acid was 5.9, which tells me he is in a range where this is very well could be a gout attack. His blood pressure is under good control and I hesitate to change his hydrochlorothiazide, but he does need better control of his uric acid and I think we will have to increase
