Jury Awards Wrestler Hulk Hogan $115,000,000 Over Sex Tape Leaked Online By Gawker Website

Hulk Hogan

This is a follow up to the March 8, 2016 Judiciary Report article "Hulk Hogan Takes The Stand In $100,000,000 Leaked Sextape Lawsuit Against Gawker Website" where the site slammed the behavior of the website for engaging in unlawful behavior that perversely invaded Hogan's privacy in a very sick way.

A week and a half later, on Friday, March 18, 2016, a jury awarded wrestler Hulk Hogan $115,000,000 in damages against website Gawker and its founder, Nick Denton, for leaking to the internet, the illegally made, secret sex tape between the star and the wife of his former best friend. This figure is $15,000,000 more than Hogan requested in the civil lawsuit, but fair under the circumstances, as this case is sick and a gross invasion of privacy. Gawker intends to file an appeal. However, Gawker and company should be made to financially pay for their conduct. A prison sentence would have been appropriate as well in criminal court.

Bubba The Love Sponge Clem and wife Heather

Gawker was arrogant to publish the secretly made sex tape. Hogan and his sex partner, Heather, maintain they did not know they were being filmed by the latter’s husband, Bubba The Love Sponge Clem, who had secretly set up a camera in the closet, to film his wife's activities in their open marriage. The tape was then offered to Gawker, who illegally published it online and made $15,000,000 in advertising from the misconduct. Gawker knew they did not have Hogan or Heather's written permission to do so. They are playing dumb and twisting the law to suit their vile narrative in violating others.

Society is going in a sick direction when third parties are of the deranged and misguided belief, they have the right to secretly watch and or film others in situations privacy is to be expected. As stated in the column previously, psychologists classify voyeurism as a mental disorder. It is not something to be championed or praised. It is mental illness to secretly watch people in their homes, hotel rooms, business or toilets in public establishments, without their consent. 

Nick Denton and his boyfriend/civil partner

Recently, sportscaster, Erin Andrews was awarded $55,000,000 due to a stalker secretly filming her naked in her hotel room and uploading the mobile phone video to the internet. Rapper 50 Cent was slapped with a $5,000,000 court judgment for arrogantly uploading a video of Lastonia Leviston, the ex-girlfriend of rival rapper, Rick Ross, to his website, without her consent. Leviston is the mother of Ross' minor child. She became suicidal after 50 Cent posted the tape to the world without her consent and mocked her to boot. It was a nasty, traumatizing event in her life. 

The aforementioned individuals that illegally recorded and or published secret sex tapes should be in prison for these sick, perverted offenses and hit with massive criminal fines. What people do in their own bedrooms, hotels, private offices and public toilets is their own business. It is nasty and sick for third parties to think they should be secretly watching. You are sex offenders and sexual predators dragging society right into the gutter. People have a right to privacy. Stop violating it.

Life Behind Bars In Solitary Confinement Is Going To Be Tough For Former NFL Star Aaron Hernandez

Aaron Hernandez after being convicted of first degree murder

Former NFL star and multi-millionaire, Aaron Hernandez, was convicted of first degree murder in the death of friend, Odin Lloyd. In Boston, Massachusetts the first degree murder conviction constitutes an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hernandez is also facing trial in a double murder that also occurred in Massachusetts.

CNN did a report on the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts, where Hernandez will be housed for the rest of his life and it's not pretty. As Hernandez is a famous inmate, he will be segregated from the rest of the prison population, placed in solitary confinement either temporarily or indefinitely as the situation warrants it. Hernandez will spend 19-hours per day in a small cell with a small window.

Prison consultant Leslie Walker stated to CNN regarding solitary confinement, "Solitary confinement is a kind of torture that no one does well in. The lack of meaningful sensory stimulus and contact drives people mad. Prison officials may feel they have to put him there for his safety, but I hope not. It's very hard time." It may seem harsh to some, but just think about what the victims families are going through.

Once again, the Judiciary Report would like to implore the site's readers to stay on the straight and narrow path. Appreciate what you have and make the best of your life and freedom. Work hard and stay out of trouble.

What prison life will be like for Aaron Hernandez 

Updated 11:01 PM ET, Thu April 16, 2015 - Prison life won't be pretty for Aaron Hernandez, the NFL football player and convicted murderer sentenced to life without parole. After correction officers evaluate him, he will be shipped to Massachusetts' flagship maximum-security prison, one of the most high-tech jails in the United States with no history of breakouts: the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, about 40 miles outside downtown Boston.

It's called Souza, for short, and it's the state's newest prison, opened in 1998, with a matrix of 366 cameras recording live 24 hours a day and a microwave detection perimeter with taut wire. "I don't know the date, but he'll be going there. That's the maximum-security facility," Department of Corrections spokesman Darren Duarte said. Legal advocates for inmates describe Souza as sterile and violent at once. Its diverse demographic includes the young and the old, many of whom are also doing life. One stubborn problem is that opiates are smuggled to inmates, the legal advocates said...

The prison system has yet to determine where to initially place Hernandez in Souza: solitary confinement; the less harsh but restricted block; the general population; a privileged section known as the "lifers block," for those serving a life sentence; or the "kitchen block," for those who work in the prison kitchen...

Even so, the cells are stark, small rooms of painted cinder-block walls with metal fixtures: a bunk mounted to the wall, a toilet and sink combination, a small writing shelf attached to the wall, and a nearby small stool affixed to the floor, Walker said. There's also a shelf for a small television, which must have a clear back for easy inspection, Walker said. With the exception of the TV, which inmates can buy for under $200, all furnishings are metal and bolted down to keep inmates from throwing them, she said...

"There's very little to do," Walker said of inmate life. "It was built as a punishment facility. The thing in corrections is that you don't want people to like it there. Some people have been there since it opened, and those people are excruciatingly bored or scared or both."... "Solitary confinement is a kind of torture that no one does well in. The lack of meaningful sensory stimulus and contact drives people mad," Walker said. Initially, "prison officials may feel they have to put him there for his safety, but I hope not," Walker said. "It's very hard time."

Judge Unreasonably Asks Murder Victim’s Mother Not To Cry On The Stand During The Aaron Hernandez Trial

Aaron Hernandez sat in prison while the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl without him this month in Arizona

Former New England’s Patriot football player, Aaron Hernandez, is currently on trial in Boston, for the murder of friend and aspiring footballer, Odin Lloyd. This week, Lloyd’s mother took the stand. Before she did so, the Judge Ursula Ward instructed her not to cry on the stand in front of jurors, which made the news all over the America.

Judge Ursula Ward (left)

While the judge does not want any aspect of the case to be prejudicial, it is a very unreasonable request to ask the mother of a murder victim not to cry on the stand, especially after being shown photos of her murdered son in court. It was insensitive. Her son is gone and under tragic circumstances. She has every right to cry whenever she feels like it.

Judge tells victim's mom not to cry in Hernandez testimony

February 3, 2015 -  Ursula Ward, mother of Odin Lloyd, wipes her eyes after looking at a photograph from the medical examiner's office of her dead son during the murder trial of former NFL football player Aaron Hernandez at Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Mass. The judge overseeing the murder trial of ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez warned the victim's mother to not cry on the stand in front of jurors Wednesday, a reference to the two previous days she left the courtroom in tears when seeing photos of her son's body.

"I understand this is very emotional for you," the judge told Ursula Ward, the mother of Odin Lloyd who was set to testify for the first time. With the jury out of the room, Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh instructed her to "retain control of your emotions." Ward did not cry and instead remained stoic as the jury returned and a prosecutor showed her an autopsy photo, then another photo of a smiling Lloyd wearing the same
clothes he had on when he was found dead: a plaid shirt and a Red Sox cap.

Hernandez, a former New England Patriots player, is accused in the 2013 killing of Lloyd, a 27-year-old semipro football player who was dating his fiancee's sister. Hernandez, 25, had a $40 million contract with the Patriots when he was arrested.

Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter In The Death Of Girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius

After being acquitted of "premeditated murder" athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The beautiful model and reality star was shot dead by Pistorius in his home. Pistorius stated he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. Prosecutors in his native South Africa are of the belief, the couple had a fight, Steenkamp fled to the bathroom and Pistorius in a rage shot her to death through the door. 

Reeva Steenkamp

South African judge, Thokozile Masipa, ruled Pistorius shooting Steenkamp four times would cause anyone to believe death could result from discharging a firearm multiple times. Other items have created pause among the public. Why would Steenkamp have locked herself in the bathroom, putting the lock on, if she was not afraid of being attacked. Secondly, why did Pistorius wait so long to call for help. The life drained out of Steenkamp while Pistorius waited so long after shooting her to call an ambulance. It gives a certain impression. 

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Pistorius, who cried uncontrollably in court, is currently free on bail in South Africa and must return to the court next month to be sentenced regarding his manslaughter conviction. Pistorius faces up to 15-years in prison on the manslaughter conviction.

Oscar Pistorius Found Not Guilty Of Premeditated Murder In The Death Of Girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp Prompting Outrage Online (Video)

Oscar Pistorius

The internet reacted in shock yesterday when athlete Oscar Pistorius was acquitted of premeditated murder charges in the shooting death of girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. As the verdict was read from the South African court and filtered out around the world, people voiced their opinions on social networking calling it an injustice.

Reeva Steenkamp

Judge Thokozile Masipa stated prosecutors had not proven their case. She further stated "manslaughter" was a "competent" charge, as he did in fact kill Steenkamp. However, the prosecutors went for the highest charges they could muster, due to Pistorius' history of domestic violence with other women, the gruesome nature of the crime scene and the fact he did not call for help after shooting Steenkamp. 

The case should not be about Pistorius being famous, an Olympian and a Paralympian. At the end of the day, a woman was shot dead under bizarre circumstances. Her family is devastated and demanding justice. Those are the only factors that should be of relevance.

Chris Brown And Karrueche Tran Subtweeting Each Other About Cheating

 

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran

R&B singer, Chris Brown and his girlfriend, model, Karrueche Tran, have experienced their ups and downs. The two have broken up and gotten back together several times. Brown and Tran made tweets that has the public believing there is once again trouble in their relationship. 

Brown tweeted "Loyalty is everything." Something many have tweeted in the past (and present) as a general statement. However, Tran tweeted, "What's more important? Loyalty or your desires?" This is due to Brown backing away from a commitment and having had sex with others during their relationship. Brown fired back "What's more important? Your status or your heart. Ask yourself." 

Brown is preparing for trial in an assault case, scheduled to take place in Washington, DC. Tran has supported him throughout his troubles and feels she deserves a commitment after all she's experienced while sticking with him.

Chris Brown And Karrueche Tran Back Together Again

After a spat over things going on in his career and personal life, including people he has been associating with and not committing to girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, singer Chris Brown has reunited with the model. The two had a spat and ended up unfollowing each other and deleting pictures from their social networking pages.

However, last night the couple made an appearance together. Brown and Tran have broken up and reunited several times before. Their relationship has been under a lot of strain with his legal troubles and career issues, regarding industry enemies. Brown is facing trial in Washington over an assault case that prosecutors are labeling a probation violation.

Chris Brown Rejects Plea Deal In Washington Assault Case And Prepares For Trial In September

Chris Brown  

TMZ is reporting Chris Brown by way of his attorney, has rejected a plea deal in the Washington assault case against him, regarding local man, Parker Adams, who targeted the singer. It resulted in a confrontation between Adams and Brown and his bodyguard. Adams photobomed Brown, was excessively rude to him and engaged in inappropriate contact, as it was without permission, in trying to come on to the heterosexual crooner. 

Parker Adams

TMZ states there was a failure to agree on the statement of facts Brown would have to cop a plea to in order to avoid jail in the Washington case. Brown has consistently stated he is not guilty of the charges that have been brought against him. As desperate as Brown is to avoid going back to jail, if he cops a plea in this case and the statement in essence reads he did attack Adams, rather than protecting himself and property (tour bus), it could trigger a probation violation in the Rihanna domestic violence case and send him back to jail in Los Angeles.

Chris Brown's Mom Joyce Hawkins And His Girlfriend Karrueche Tran Spend Time With Him As Prosecutors Demand He Be Put Back In Jail

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran

R&B singer Chris Brown spent this past Friday with his mother, Joyce Hawkins and girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, having dinner at Katsuya restaurant in Los Angeles. Hawkins, who had gotten close to Brown's ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, is now bonding with the new love of his life, Karrueche Tran. People online are commenting on Brown's noticeable weight gain from his time in jail. The combined effects of medicine for his bipolarity and PTSD, carb loaded jail food and a more sedentary lifestyle over the past few months, created water retention and a slight weight gain. However, Brown is a dancer and can drop the weight easily. 

Rihanna will not be happy that Karrueche and Chris Brown's mom have been bonding since his incarceration

 

However, Brown's problems are not over. The assault case against him in Washington was set to resume in four months. However, upon reading about Brown's early release from a Los Angeles jail, the Washington prosecutor is demanding he be brought back to the District of Columbia, to be tried and jailed. If found guilty of assaulting Parker Adams, a man who followed Brown from a club and began harassing him outside his tour bus, via photobombing and trying to board the vehicle, he faces up to 6-months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Chris Brown Assault Trial Delayed And New Witnesses Announced (Video)

 

The assault trial of R&B singer Chris Brown has been delayed until Wednesday, April 23, 2014, to give his bodyguard Chris Hollosy time to testify in his trial. On Friday, April 18, 2014, Judge Patricia Wynn postponed her ruling as well, stating she required more time to mull over the evidence in the case, as a result Brown spent the Easter holiday in jail. Brown was briefly brought to court from a Virigina jail, but did not testify on his behalf last week, invoking his Fifth Amendment right to prevent self-incrimination. The singer has been incarcerated for several weeks and maintains he is innocent of the charges brought against him. 

Chris Brown

As reported yesterday, Brown's bodyguard Chris Hollosy, 35, was convicted of assaulting Parker Adams, 

25, after the local man stalked the singer from a club after a performance, photobombed him and tried to board his tour bus. Brown felt Adams was propositioning him when he photobombed the singer and tried to board his tour bus. Initially Adams stated Brown did not hit him, but changed his testimony. Prosecutors are now relying on Adams' testimony and that of a limo driver, in addition to a third witness, in seeking a misdemeanor assault conviction against Brown. 

Chris Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos

Ironically, according to NBC News, Adams' girlfriend, who took a photo with Brown, testified, "She didn't see the bodyguard punch anyone." A Secret Service agent heard Adams tell police Brown did not hit him in the incident that transpired near the White House at the W Hotel. However, a second version of the police report was changed to state Brown hit Adams. The police officer who authored the report is being investigated by internal affairs. 

Chris Hollosy

On the flip side, the prosecution has put forward another witness, a limo driver stating he saw Brown and Hollosy hit Adams. So, in one corner you have a Secret Service agent and Adams' girlfriend stating no and on the opposing side Adams and a limo driver stating yes he was hit by Brown. The matter is now in the hands of the judge. If convicted Brown faces 6-months in jail and a $1,000 fine, in addition to a probation violation in Los Angeles, which could send him to jail for 4-years.

Bodyguard for Chris Brown Guilty in Assault Case; Trial for Brown to Begin

Chris Brown's Bodyguard Convicted of Assault

Chris Brown’s Bodyguard Found Guilty Of Assault In Washington

Chris Brown

Chris Hollosy, the 35-year-old bodyguard of singer Chris Brown, has been found guilty of assault in Washington, DC. He faces 6-months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The judge-rendered verdict stems from an incident in October 2013, where local man Parker Adams, followed 24-year-old Brown to his tour bus and photobombed the singer, then tried to board his tour bus, constituting trespassing. Hollosy admitted punching Adams because he attempted to board Brown’s tour bus.

In Florida, you could have drop kicked him, then moonwalked on him for trespassing on your property and not been arrested, as it would be self-defense. However, things are different in Washington, DC, as this case illustrates. Adams is suing Brown and Hollosy for $3,000,000.

Chris Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins and the singer’s girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, made an appearance at his assault trial in Washington, DC on Friday. Both women and Brown’s aunt looked sad entering the courthouse, as Brown is currently incarcerated and has been for the past six weeks.

The singer is not doing well behind bars, over a case that has a number of discrepancies, as well as an accompanying $3,000,000 cash grab of a lawsuit filed by Parker Adams. Brown was stalked to his tour bus by Adams who photobombed him, then tried to board the crooner’s tour bus, also known as trespassing. 

Chris Brown's October 2013 mug shot

Adams first accused Brown’s bodyguard Brian Hollosy of punching him in the face. Then he said it was Hollosy and Brown that punched him. The police report was changed as a result, which Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos naturally took exception to, as it indicates fraud on the alleged victim’s part. Changing his story is reminiscent of this scene in “Rush Hour” where Chris Tucker‘s character James Carter wasn‘t sure who kicked him (kidding). 

Brown’s trial is expected to wrap up today. If the case, which is based on hearsay, is resolved in his favor, Brown will be free of all penalties in Washington. If he is convicted, Brown faces 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Brown must also face Judge James Brandlin in Los Angeles, as the Washington case trigged a probation violation from the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence case.

Trial Of Chris Brown's Bodyguard Begins In Washington

Chris Brown's October 2013 mug shot

The assault trial of Chris Hollosy, bodyguard to singer Chris Brown, began in Washington yesterday. Brown and Hollosy stand accused of punching 20-year-old Parker Adams, who followed the singer to his tour bus after a club appearance, photobombed him and attempted to board the star's tour bus.

Hollosy is being tried separately from Brown in a case being heard by judge, not jury. Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos contends the singer did not hit Adams. Geragos also stated Adams admitted Brown did not hit him. However, an initial report was changed to state Brown hit Adams and the police officer is now under investigation.

Hollosy's lawyer Bernard Grimm accused Adams of filing suit in the matter in an attempt to "simply to get rich" due to the fact the dollar amount listed in the lawsuit, $3,000,000, far exceeds his medical bills. Adams claimed ignorance and stated it was not his idea to sue. However, it could not have been filed without his consent.

Brown's trial is scheduled to commence shortly and could have serious implications on his probation from the Rihanna domestic violence case. Brown currently sits in a Virgina jail and has not been handling incarceration well. He dislikes the food, was upset in the cafeteria and is depressed. The prospect of potentially spending four-years in jail is weighing heavily on him.

Judge Denies Chris Brown's Lawyer's Motion To Dismiss Washington Assault Case Sending It To Trial As Bodyguard Admits He Threw The Punch

Chris Brown And His Bodyguard Face Separate Trials

 

Chris Brown and Mark Geragos

A Washington, DC judge has denied a motion filed by lawyer Mark Geragos to dismiss the criminal assault case against his client, singer Chris Brown. Geragos stated prosecutorial misconduct in the misuse of a grand jury, as his basis for requesting the dismissal. However, the judge ruled the prosecutors did not act improperly in the matter and the case is to proceed in separate trials for Brown and his bodyguard, Chris Hollosy.

Brown was extradited from Los Angeles, California to Washington, DC to stand trial for allegedly assaulting Parker Adams, a local man who stalked, photobombed and propositioned Brown, attempting to board the singer's tour bus. A melee ensued, as Brown's bodyguard, Hollosy, prohibited Adams from boarding the bus by punching him. Adams, who summoned police to the scene, stated within earshot of a Secret Service agent that Brown did not hit him. However, the second version of a subsequent police report was changed to state Brown punched Adams and broke his nose.

Judge James Brandlin, who is presiding over the Los Angeles probation violation case, stemming from the Rihanna domestic violence incident, ruled it is appropriate the Washington courts handle the case. As such Brown was shackled and extradited over the course of 4-days from Los Angeles to Washington, via Con Air.

Brown, who is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is also Bipolar, faces 6-months in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted in Washington. He could also face an additional 4-years in jail under the Los Angeles case, on the legal premise he violated his probation. If Brown is jailed for an extended period of time, he would be placed in solitary confinement for his own protection, segregating him from other inmates, due to his high profile status.

Solitary confinement to a mind struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar Disorder would be next to unbearable and do more harm than good in the way rehabilitation. A medical facility for offenders would be more beneficial in the way of rehabilitation to an inmate struggling with mental illness. 

Discrepancies Appear In The Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial (Video)

Evidence in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial has revealed several inconsistencies in the track star’s statements about the death of his girlfriend, Riva Steenkamp. The trial, which is currently under way in South Africa, is being presided over by a judge, not a jury, as said system was abolished years ago.

 

Oscar Pistorius

The testimony in the case has been powerful and gripping on both sides. Pistorius’ recollection of events on the night of the shooting do not reconcile with the timeline medical examiners have established in the death of the beautiful model. Pistorious stated he thought Steenkamp was an intruder in his home when he fired the fatal shots that claimed her life. Four bullets pierced Steenkamp’s body as she sat in a bathroom cubicle with her mobile phones. There has been so much speculation in the case thanks to sensationalism from select journalists to sell papers that the public is having trouble distinguishing the truth.

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Discrepancies regarding the time Pistorius stated she Steenkamp had eaten and what she was wearing, have raised doubts about what truly transpired that night. Steenkamp’s parents are demanding answers due to several discrepancies in his story. Pistorius has been very distraught in court, even vomiting at one juncture. The Judiciary Report hopes this was just a dreadful accident, as lives have been changed in a drastic way and Steenkamp has passed away.

Second Juror In George Zimmerman Case Feels Guilty Stating 'He Got Away With Murder' (Video)

Conscience is something else. It stings unrelentingly when one does something wrong. In the case of juror B29, from the George Zimmerman murder trial, her conscience is getting the better of her, regarding the poor, unjust decision to aid in the acquittal of the aforementioned child killer, who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

During an interview with ABC, Maddy stated she can't eat or sleep since the decision. However, she stated God will hold Zimmerman responsible for Trayvon's murder. Yea, but you are responsible to God as well, as are the other five jurors, the defense and everyone else who aided Zimmerman in evading justice. You helped to free a murderer and deny a boy and his family justice. You knew better.

With NFL Star Aaron Hernandez In Prison On Murder Charges What Will Happen To His $44,000,000 Fortune

 

Aaron Hernandez

 

Former New England Patriot, Aaron Hernandez, had it all. Health, good looks, beautiful fiancée, adorable baby and a lucrative football career in the NFL, a place very few make it, as one has to be the cream of the crop in the sport. Hernandez signed a $44,000,000 contract with the Patriots that was summarily terminated when he was arrested for the murder of up and coming football player Odin Lloyd.

Advances were given on the contract totaling millions, but with the way these contracts are often drafted, one must see them through to completion to receive the full amount stipulated. Nonetheless, Hernandez made millions from the contract and product endorsements. With his NFL career at an end, as he sits behind bars with no bail, what will become of the millions he has earned thus far.

 

Aaron Hernandez, fiancée Shayanna Jenkins and their baby girl

 

His daughter and fiancée will be provided for, but a wrongful death lawsuit could essentially wipe him out. Hernandez has also been sued for shooting a man in the face, which could deplete even more of his wealth. And the moral of the story is be thankful for your opportunities in life and do not take them for granted.

Trayvon Martin Death Photos Released (Photos)

Trayvon Martin after being shot and killed by George Zimmerman

Heartbreaking photos of 17-year-old murder victim Trayvon Martin have been released and they are terribly sad. The photos show the innocent teen's lifeless body laying on the grass, after unjustifiably being killed by neighborhood patrol watchman George Zimmerman. As the murder trial moves forward in Florida, some have publicly expressed their concerns justice will not be served.

Martin's lifeless body at the crime scene

At the end of the day, Zimmerman violated neighborhood, police and 911 rules in pursuing Martin, confronting and then killing the teen, after offensively demanding to know, "What are you doing around here?" How is one to take that, as it is a rude, ill-mannered, accusatory question to ask someone walking in their family's neighborhood. He had a right to be there. He was not trespassing.

Gunshot wound to the chest that killed Martin

Regardless of your views on race, a boy was gunned down before he even came of age, at the hands of a paranoid, suspicious, trigger happy man who disobeyed the orders of those in authority, to recklessly pursue his victim. Martin owed him no explanation, as he is not the police and the average cop would not have acted in the corrupt, careless manner Zimmerman did, gunning down an unarmed teen simply trying to find his way home.

Memorial for Martin 

No one, black, white, Hispanic, Asian or Indian deserves to be killed in the manner Martin was and it has set a terrible precedent in the State of Florida and America, which could lead to repeated acts of similar violence if Zimmerman is found not guilty. Last year it was Martin, tomorrow it could be your loved one - black or white - and no one wants that. Don't take society in this direction.  

Oscar Pistorius Set For His First Race Since Start Of Murder Trial But Is He Ready

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Olympian and Paralympian, Oscar Pistorius,  has been cleared to leave South Africa, in the middle of his murder trial, regarding the tragic shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius formally stated the shooting was an accident, while prosecutors maintain it was premeditated murder. The court stated, " I find no reason why the applicant should be forbidden from leaving the Republic of South Africa if he's invited to compete in athletic events in other countries."

Oscar Pistorius

Pistorius is set to compete in the World Athletic Championships this summer, but the question is, will he be ready, both physically and mentally. Pistorius lost key training time due to his crucial murder case and he is also in a fragile mental state. Running well takes physical and mental strength. A distracted and troubled mind can prove a hindrance. Additionally, how will audiences react, as the public is divided on the case.  

Man Acquitted In The Shooting Death Of Rapper Slim Dunkin But Is Hit With 25-Years On Other Charges

Slim Dunkin

Aspiring rapper, Vinson Hardimon was acquitted of murder in the 2011 shooting death of fellow MC, Slim Dunkin, real name, Mario Hamilton. However, he was convicted of aggravated assault with a weapon, which led to the death of Hamilton. Such technicalities will baffle most, but Hardimon now faces 25-years in prison for his crimes.
