    The legal issues in this case involved the treatments of Petty, a former Police Officer who left the Metro Police Department for active duty with the United States Army. Upon his request to be reinstated, Petty was not placed in his original position as a patrol sergeant or a similar position based on the completion of the return-to-work form n which he did not disclose all the facts regarding his discharge status. The police department return-to-work process is a policy that is required for all officers to complete if they were away for an extended period of time no matter what the reason for their separation. One of the questions on the personal history questionnaire Plaintiff filled out during the return-to-work process asked: “During your absence were you arrested, charged, detained, or a suspect in any criminal action or military disciplinary action for any reason or do you have any action pending? If yes, explain in detail (use back if necessary).” Petty answered “Yes.” He also attached a narrative explanation of his response in which he admitted facing military charges in Kuwait. The narrative description did not disclose: (1) that Petty was accused of giving alcohol to an enlisted soldier; and (2) that Petty was accused of manufacturing alcohol. Since Petty did not mention facing military charges for manufacturing alcohol while in Kuwait, he was assigned to desk work.

It also guarantees the return of a veteran right of reemployment after military service is required to return to their original position or a similar position.…

    Woodward worked as an au pair to a baby boy named Michael, and when he suddenly stopped breathing one day she rushed him to the hospital. Later, when he died from what was diagnosed as Shaken Baby Syndrome, Woodward ended up being accused of violently shaking him and causing his injuries. This article focuses on the fact that there was so much emphasis placed on the Shaken Baby Syndrome triad of symptoms in this trial, and the overall divide in the medical world on the topic of abusive head trauma. Dr. Patrick Barnes, who testified in 1997, reveals that Woodward’s trial made him rethink what he knew about abusive head trauma. Dr. Barnes says that during the trial he “was adamant that it had to be child abuse, shaken baby syndrome (Haberman, The New York Times, September 13, 2015).” However, Barnes mentions that when the trial ended he began to rethink his stance, and that he, “is now convinced that the diagnosis has been invoked too readily in criminal cases and that other causes might explain any bleeding and brain swelling (Haberman, The New York Times, September 13, 2015).” It is clear that there could have been other causes for Michael’s injuries other than Shaken Baby Syndrome. The medical world seems to be divided in the way that some experts are convinced the triad of symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome can appear…

    The film begins with a brief overview of several women’s stories, all speaking about the reasons behind their decision to enroll in the armed forces. Typically due to familial history, or wanting to honor their believed duty as a citizen of this country, most of the women joined with a craving for the camaraderie and discipline that comes with being a member of the military. The film then shifts to in-depth analyses of two women’s stories, Kori Cioca and Hannah Sewell, and their experiences with both assault in the armed forces and the lack of victim assistance that they encountered. Lack of access to an impartial justice system, victim blaming, absence of health care for victims, unhindered advancement of their assailant’s careers, and forced expulsion from the armed forces are just some of the issues that these women faced following their attack. The film switched to focus on the institutions that essentially promote the abuse of women in the armed forces, such as the Air Force Academy, Marine Barracks, and the United States government as a whole. The U.S. government oftentimes fails to impartially prosecute and effectively address the issue of sexual assault in the military, therefore violating a woman’s rights to serve freely, and safely, for the country. The Invisible War focuses specifically on how policies regarding sexual assault within the military are dated, and tend to protect the assailants from being punished for their actions. With the level of injustice surrounding such an ignored topic, The Invisible War calls for discussion and changes regarding the way the military, and the government, responds to the sexual assault epidemic within the Armed Forces, and has had a profound effect in the call to…
