.... head systems operator for AO Saturn, figured out how to get around Citibank¹s security system and transfer money out of their accounts. Levin, of St. Petersburg, claims he should not be turned over to American authorities because there is no evidence that any computers in the United States were used in the scheme. The U. S. government says the funds were all routed through Citibank¹s wire transfer department on Wall Street. The Justice Department wants to charge Levin with conspiracy and fraud. (Source: Delaware County Daily Times, 8/21/95) If turned over to American authorities, Levin is subject to ordinary tort law g .....

.... of the death penalty are in favour of making examples out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant. According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight murders are deterred for each execution that is carried out in the U.S.A. He goes on to say, "If one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified." To most supporters of the death penalty, like Ehrlich, if even 1 life is saved, for countless executions of the guilty, it is a good reason for the death penalty. The theory th .....

.... namely, murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated. Leaders, organizers, instigators, and accomplices participating in the formulation or execution of a common plan or conspiracy to commit any of the foregoing crimes are responsible for all acts performed by any persons in execution of such plan.1 The above e .....

.... thousands of extra dollars a day. Should drugs be legalized, the price would collapse, and so would the drug-related motivations to commit crime. A pack of cocaine becomes no more dangerous to carry than a pack of cigarettes. The streets would be safer to walk, as criminal drug dealers are pushed from the market. Legalization would also deflate prison overcrowding. Out of 31,346 sentenced prisoners in federal institutions, drug law violators were the largest single category, 9487. By legalizing drugs, there would be no more drug offenders to lock up. Since many drug users would no longer be committing violent or property cri .....

.... The poor and friendless defendants, those with inexperienced or court-appointed counsels, are most likely to be executed. For example, Orenthial James Simpson had the money to afford the best lawyers and was “guilty as sin,” but he was acquitted. According to Alison Coope, a disproportionate number of nonwhites are sentenced to death. Also, when the death penalty for rape was still used in many states, no white man was executed for raping a nonwhite woman; whereas, most black offenders found guilty of raping a white woman were executed (24). The possibility that innocent people wrongly convicted of murder will be put t .....

The stalks of the plant contain fibers that have been woven for years to make rope, canvas, and paper. Cannabis is dioecious, spawning male and female plants at an equal rate. The flowering buds of the female secrete a sticky yellow resin rich with cannabinoids, the more than sixty compounds unique to . Several of the chemicals are psychoactive, most prominently delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Lester Grinspoon, a .....

.... the death penalty, for there was little they could do about it. However in the 1750's reform movements spread through Europe, and in 1847 they reached the United States. In 1847, Michigan became the first state to abolish the death penalty for murder. Beginning in 1967, executions were suspended to allow the appellate courts to decide whether the death penalty was unconstitutional. In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty for murder or for rape violated the prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment" (Bedau 1). Four years later the Supreme Court reversed its decision in Gregg v. Georgi .....

.... to kill their pain. It gives an appetite to AIDS patients. The cloud of suspicion would disappear, and doctors could get on with investigating marijuana's medical uses without fear of controversy. If you think about it marijuana is just like all of those cigarettes behind the counter. Legalizing it will create problems, but we can control those problems. We would treat it as a prescription drug, not like cigarettes. Let get the hospitals making money not the drug lords. Legalizing it passed as a proposition, but the Federal government still treats it as an illegal drug. I do not think that the federal government sees the .....

.... Section 11362.5) Of course, it goes on and breaks into fine detail into which I choose not to venture. To summarize it all, if you're sick, or think you are, your doc can get you some pot. Just like that. So what's so great about this? It supposedly brings relief to those with terminal illnesses. (Such were listed in 215) Cancer sufferers who are inflicted with nausea due to chemotherapy have reported that a puff or two of a marijuana cigarette relieves the pain. (Theorized after study by psychiatrist Lester Grinspoon of Harvard Medical School) It has also been reported to relieve the pain suffered by AIDS patients. Despi .....

.... innocent. Maldistribution of any punishment among those who deserves it is irrelevant to its justice or morality. Punishments are imposed on a person, not a race or economic group. Guilt is personal. The only question that needs to be asked is, does the person who is to be executed deserve the punishment? And that is up to our justice system. Equality in short seems morally less important than justice. The ideal of equal justice demands that justice be equally distributed, not that it be replaced by equality. Justice requires that as many of the guilty as possible be punished, regardless of whether others have slipped thro .....
