...Pendant longtemps, l’éthique dans l’univers des affaires fut considérée comme un questionnement extérieur à l’entreprise. Elle était alors vue comme un obstacle à sa finalité première, qui est de créer de la richesse, d’atteindre une efficacité économique. Cependant, doucement, avec les pressions des parties prenantes de plus en plus nombreuses et diversifiées, au fil des différentes crises sociales et économiques, ou de l’éclatement de l’Etat Providence, on a pu observer dans les entreprises, un glissement vers des considérations éthiques. Elles se sont ainsi positionnées, comme on peut parfois le lire ou l’entendre, en personnes morales. Ce déplacement des entreprises vers l’éthique - auparavant éthique de l’individu, désormais, éthique professionnelle ou éthique en entreprise - n’est pas sans poser de problèmes. Toute la difficulté réside dans l’application de la notion d’éthique, du domaine de l’homme, en tant qu’individu, au monde bien particulier de l’entreprise. Dans une « société de jugement », il devient impossible pour les entreprises, comme l’exprimait Nicole d’Almeida, de ne pas être à l’écoute du monde qui les entoure en général, et de leurs parties prenantes, en particulier. Qu’elle soit bien ou mal appréhendée, la notion d’éthique s’impose dans l’évolution de notre société, et s’est donc déplacée, tout naturellement, au sein des entreprises. En réalité, ce mouvement semble fort peu naturel et l’apparente contradiction entre éthique et entreprise ne cesse de...

Adnan deserves a new trial because of the alibi witness that had was never brought to testify, Adnan’s lawyer who had not done her case properly, and very weak evidence against Adnan. As soon as Adnan’s peer had heard the news of his arrest they were in shock. One of the evidences was Adnan’s...

...Firstly, after her husband dies, Mary Maloney is overcome with concern for her unborn infant and quickly devises a way to give herself an alibi. She dresses and practices using a normal voice, to protect her true emotions and to ensure that the grocer would not be suspect that she had committed a crime. She is very conscious of her actions as she practices her facial expressions multiple times: “Both the smile and the voice felt better now, she thought, as she tried to act as if everything was perfect” (Dahl 179). This quick thinking illustrates that she is cunning since she successfully gives herself an alibi which the grocer can corroborate. Secondly, she persuades the officers to consume the evidence, the leg of lamb, which she used to murder her husband. As Mary waits in a room beside the officers, “she could hear them speaking among themselves, their voices thick and sloppy because their mouths were full of meat” (Dahl 182). The officers were intent on finding the murder weapon which they thought would lead them to the murderer. By feeding them the lamb, Mary Maloney has ensured that they will never find the weapon. As a result of Mary Maloney’s cunningness, she quickly provides herself with an alibi and disposes of the murder weapon, making her an unlikely...

...All Sarah Koenigs podcast does is restate the fact that are already known to everyone involved in the case. Nothing more Sarah even states in her podcast about it not discovering any new information. “I went to go see Rabia. She was surrounded by paper-- files, loose stacks, binders, some crappy looking boxes-- all court documents and attorney's files from Adnan's case. Some of the papers were warped and discolored.”(Koenig, “The Alibi”) Think about this it, the case was put up for trial twice and both times they found him guilty. The jury had to be switched out so there was no biased opinion of the topic. What makes the evidence any different now other than a podcast that rearranges evidence on the subject, and reviews the trial, and the case degrades as time goes on. By the end of the podcast after reviewing the little bit of cold case evidence serial uses it makes a person think he is innocent. When looking straight at the evidence it is against him and can not really prove him...

...The killing was seen at 12:10 but the police caught the boy at his house around 3:00 in the morning, which is when he said he returned home from the movies in his alibi. If the boy did kill his father, why would he come back to the crime scene risking getting caught? The jurors ponder over this question, some making up possible reasons for returning and others turning it through their minds to sort all the evidence out. This point of reason shakes the case, and brings up some possible doubt in the jurors’ minds. Another reason why the alibi could be credible is because even though the boy didn’t remember things about the movies he had just seen, he was being harassed, and even people in a state of calmness can forget details like that. This is proved when Juror #8 asks Juror #4 questions about the past week. Juror #4 remembers certain movies he went to see earlier in the week, but even he can’t remember all of the details. Through this, Juror #8 proves that the evidence of the boy not remembering the exact details of the movies should not to be counted against him as it is insufficient...

...An alibi defense is when the accused person will state a claim that it was impossible for them to have committed the alleged crime because they were somewhere else at the time the crime occurred. A very famous example of an alibi defense would be the 1995 criminal trial of the People of the State of California vs. Orenthal James Simpson ( O.J. Simpson murder case). Whereas in his initial defense Mr. Simpson claimed he was at home alone packing before he traveled to Chicago. He even had a witness named Rosa Lopez who claimed she saw his car parked outside his house during the time of the murders. Unfortunately for the defense her testimony was never able to reach the jury because his alibi fell through when Ms. Lopez was cross examined by the prosecutor on videoand could not account for the exact time she saw his car parked outside his home. A justification defense is when the accused accepts responsibility for the crime they are accused of, but then argues that the act the committed was justified due to the circumstances. This was the reason no charges were filed to Sarah McKinley. On New Year’s Eve 2011, two intruders armed with a 12 inch hunting knife threatened the lives of her and her infant child. She called 911 and before the police arrived at the scene the two men tried to make entry into the house through a barricaded door. With all lesser means exhausted she was forced to defend herself by means of shooting the first intruder as he made his way into the house. Upon...

...Jay who the police interviewed after talking to Jenn (another one of Adnan’s friends). Jay testified that he had helped Adnan to bury Hae's body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with her death. The Evidence: As there was no physical evidence linking Adnan to Hae’s murder, the state built their case out of three main pieces of evidence: Jay’s testimony, Adnan’s cell phone records, and fact that Adnan had poor memory of what he was doing on the day of Hae’s disappearance and therefore had no alibi. Exhibit 1:...

...Anne Elyse Hayes Case for Christ Chapter 5 Dr. Jeffry McDonald was an ex-marine standing trial for killing his family. He did not think the jury would find him at fault because he had an alibi. However, his alibi did not stand up to scientific evidence. Dr. McDonald was sentenced based on blood and trace evidence that did not back up his alibi. In this case scientific evidence is introduced to prove or disprove the consistency of the gospels based on the discipline of archeology. Strobel turns to an archeological professional who has personal experience working digs in the Middle East. His name is John McRay. As Strobel seeks to stay independent in gathering the evidence he proposes a question to help him determine if McRay will exaggerate the role of archeology when it comes to determining the reliability of the gospels. McCray points out that archeology can bring forth evidence is presented to either explain or disprove evidence presented. In this chapter the search for opinions contrary to those already collected, which includes the opinions of Jesus Seminar, a self-selected group representing a small portion of New Testament scholars who believe Jesus did not say most of what is credited to him in the gospels. They also published The Five Gospels which include the traditional four plus a manuscript titled the Gospel of Thomas which was written in the second century. The author examines their claims to see if he can find reliable evidence...

...same bars. Eye witness misidentification is the greatest contributing factor to wrongful convictions proven by DNA testing, paying a role in more than 70% of convictions overturned through DNA testing nationwide. For instance, in the misidentification of Marvin Anderson, a man wrongfully convicted of a rape, misidentification by the victim caused him to serve fifteen years in prison. Because the rapist had told the victim he had a white girl, the police immediately looked to Marvin as a suspect since he is the only colored man living with a white wife. After the victim chose Marvin’s mugshot out of a dozen black and white mugshots, the police created a line up with Marvin being the only man in it from the mug shots. Although Marvin had an alibi he was convicted and served fifteen brutal years he didn’t deserve in prison. It wasn’t until after DNA had testing proved Marvin wasn’t the rapist that they let him free. This is only one of the many cases that witness misidentification has taken years and even entire lives from innocent people. To ensure that witness misidentification isn’t a problem many states are considering improving their identification procedures. For instance, Connecticut supreme court reconsiders a murder conviction based on the identification from a witness who was 265 feet away and five stories up from where the crime was committed, the justices are also considering changing rules on witness identification evidence. For more than 35 years, judges have used what...

...A writer tends to use their life’s experiences, influences, and beliefs to create their stories; this is exactly the case for the creations of “Trifles”, Fidelity, and Women’s honor by Susan Glaspell. In writing “Trifles”, Fidelity, and The Visioning she drew from her past and current experienced events to create such stories. Her writing career had first begun when she was in high school and progressed further into her college years. While attending college, her career spun off as a reporter for Des Moines Daily News. After a short time of being a reporter, she and her husband decided to return back to her hometown Davenport, Iowa to become a full time writer. This was the beginning of her becoming “one of the early-twentieth-century America’s leading playwright”(Rudnick). Fidelity was Glaspell third novel which was published in 1915.

...ARGUMENTATION The applicant claims that there has been a violation of article 6 of the ECHR, namely, violation of his right to a fair trial. This right has been denied by the refusal of the Court of allowing the cross examination of the anonymous witness regarding the day, when he/she witnessed Mr. Karam transporting weapons to the house on Portobellostraat nr. 40. The applicant would like to highlight the fact he could not establish and confirm his alibi since he was not able to question the witness or at least be informed of the day when the alleged crime happened. During the proceedings of the Court of Appeal of Amsterdam, when the Investigative Judge was interrogated regarding the day when the alleged crime happened, he stated “At the beginning of the interrogation session the witness did not know exactly when the delivery had taken place. Later that day he/she was able to indicate that it had been during the period from 1 July until 7 July 2009. On one single day the interrogations took place first in the case of the co-accused Hendriks and then in the case of the present accused. I cannot now remember exactly all the differences in nuance between the two interrogations. Later that day the witness remembered a number of things more distinctly. Things happened the way I described them in the official record. I have tried to take everything down with as much precision as possible”. The applicant would like to state the fact that from the Investigative...

...A common cause for inadequate defenses is simply lawyers who fail to do their jobs. The previously mentioned marine was wrongfully convicted because his defense attorney "did not promptly investigate, seek or interview potential alibi witnesses or pursue any alibi evidence because he believed that the case would never come to trial"("Marine's Rape Conviction Voided..." 2). This example demonstrates that some attorneys simply do not do their duty to adequately defend their client. Common types of inadequate defenses are "defense lawyers who: failed to present defense witnesses (often to establish/confirm an alibi); failed to seek DNA testing or have serology testing done to try to exclude the client: failed to object to prosecutor argument or to evidence introduced by the state: and failed to interview witnesses in preparation for the trial or cross examine state witnesses"(West 4). Also, some less often reported complaints against lawyers include, "failure to investigate, failure to object to an ID, and failure to present expert testimony” (West 4). These failures on behalf of attorneys can be devastating to the defense’s case, such failures would certainly...
