Against Clemency

Stanley Tookie Williamas showed a who was the leader of the gang "crips" showed a change in character while servering his sentence. He was sentences to be excecuted and while in jail he did many nobel cause, which included becoming an anti-gang activist as well as writing children books.

But by changing himself, he did not change the past, or the lives that were runined while he ruled the gang. What about the lives that were taken, how can he change that. He is changing himself which is a good thing but what about the families that were laready distroyed by his sinful actions. As well as the people that are part of the gang that he started, how can he change that.

Wendigo

My client who is a Native American in Northern Canada is charged with manslaughter. Yes my client has fired but in his defense he was trying to protect him and others. The tribe that my client is from, they believe in an evil spirit call “wendigo” who is supposed to eat humans. Based on his belief he took that man for this evil creature and in his defense and for his safety and the safety of other he fired at him. My client not knowing mistook the man for this creature causing him to react this way. My client shouldn’t be charged with manslaughter because he didn’t mean to harm an innocent but he had meant to protect him and other from this evil spirit who he believed to eat humans. At that moment those thought arose in his mind and being horrified of the outcome that the evil spirit may have cause he took matters into his own hands. Not knowing that he had mad a mistake.
