    New Murders By Annie Johnson Summary

    In 1903 the late Mrs. Annie Johnson of Arkansas found herself with two toddling sons, very little money, a slight ability to read and add simple numbers. To this picture add a disastrous marriage and the burdensome fact that Mrs. Johnson was a Negro. When she told her husband, Mr. William Johnson, of her dissatisfaction with their marriage, he conceded that he too found it to be less than he expected, and had been secretly hoping to leave and study religion. He added that he thought God was calling him not only to preach but to do so in Enid, Oklahoma. He did not tell her that he knew a minister in Enid with whom he could study and who had a friendly, unmarried daughter. They parted amicably, Annie keeping the one-room house and William taking most of the cash to carry himself to Oklahoma.…

    Summary Of Making A Murderer By Jeff Truesdell

    Another article I would like to discuss is from People magazine written by Jeff Truesdell, Neighbors of Making a Murderer's Steven Avery Speak Out About His Guilt or Innocence: 'Those of Us Who Live Here Know He's Guilty.’ In this article, Jeff Truesdell interviewed locals of Manitowoc County; Steven Avery’s neighbors. The neighbors paint an incredibly different picture than what is provided in Making a Murderer. The neighbors discuss how much safer they felt now that Steven Avery was back in jail, and how when he was released the first time they believed something strange happened. The general consensus of his neighbors was that he was guilty for the assault he was in jail for originally, and for the crimes he is in jail for now. One neighbor…

    Killed Strangely: The Death Of Rebecca Cornell Summary

    1. The Cornell family didn’t resemble the family ideals propounded in contemporary sermons, literature and the law. “Documents reveal the distance between the New England family of historical imagination and the realities of seventeenth-century domestic life. Instead of the harmony and respect that sermon literature laws and hierarchical/patriarchal society attempted to impose evidence illustrates filial insolence, generational conflict, disrespect toward the elderly, power plays between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, adult dependence on aging parents who clung to purse strings, sibling rivalry over inherited property and discord between stepmother and stepchildren” (Crane 2). In other…

    Seymour's Crimes: A Case Study

    I live in Seymour, Tennessee, which is just South of Knoxville, the third largest city in the state. When I first moved there in 1972, Seymour was considered very rural, but now is littered with subdivisions and many businesses. There are still several large agriculture areas spread around the residential areas. People first moved to Seymour to avoid the high crime rates and violent crimes of the cities. In the 1970’s crimes were almost nonexistent and included acts such as thefts, holiday vandalisms, and the occasional home burglaries. It was considered a very safe place to live and perfect to raise a family.…

    Serial Killers Research Paper

    People become serial killers for a reason. The expression “Serial Killers” first presumably originated in 1970 by late FBI Agent Robert Ressler. Before this time society categorized them with Mass Murders. Agent Ressler was lecturing at a college when he heard someone describe the killing as having an unending ‘serial’ cycle. Going back to his childhood, he remembered the movie industry titled “Serial Adventures” which showed short films of Batman and other heroes. None of the shows that were played came to a gratifying close. It always left you wanting more. Ressler came to the conclusion that there should be two separate category’s for mass murders, a single killing of many people at one location, and serial homicide, multiple killings that…
