Boston Massacre Response
Boston Massacre Response After reading and analyzing, “The Boston Massacre Trails” I feel like the movie left out some parts of the trial that I found interesting in the article. For example, John Adam’s assistant in the trial, Josiah Quincy, happened to be the younger brother of the trial’s prosecutor Samuel Quincy. Another interesting fact was that Samuel Quincy was a loyalist. However, he was prosecuting against the British soldiers. Overall, I do think that the movie did a great job depicting the Boston Massacre Trials. However, I also believe that the article as more detailed and had more interesting facts. John Adams was a rare individual who at first, wasn’t really a Loyalist or a Rebel. He believed in justice and the law. That’s why

    On April 15, 2013 I remember hearing from Mr. Ham that the Boston marathon had been bombed at the finish line. The only knowledge I had of this incident before I read about it— was that it was a terrorist attack. After reading this article explaining about the convictions of the two terrorists Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, there isn’t any sort of bias that I can see going on in this topic. Although the author doesn’t have her own argument about the situation, she talks about the dispute between the terrorists and the prosecutors and the jury. The prosecutors and the jury came to the conclusion that Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, were found guilty.…

    Equal protection under the law is a legal principal as the United States itself. The term criminal act does not, in modern times, have a universally accepted definition. Terrorism is certainly a crime in that it usually involved casualties. At times I feel that we forget that acts of terror come in many different sizes. Earlier this year the Boston Marathon Bombing shook the nation to its core.…

    The two explosions that tore through the Boston Marathon nearly two years ago were like the second starting gun on April 15, 2013, a race against time to identify and capture the terrorists responsible. Bostonians were relived after an extensive manhunt ended in the apprehension of the Boston Marathon suspects, but which raised a host of legal issues including the potential consequence of authorities’ decision not to read Tsarnaev his Miranda rights, how might he be charged due to skewed media bias, and whether his case would be moved outside Boston to ensure a fair trial. The importance of these issues answer many controversial questions regarding the reach of the ambiguous legal system.…

    The tragic bombing of the Boston Marathon captivated national and international audiences alike. Hundreds of local, state and federal agencies came together to undertake the massive investigation that would ensue. Surveillance technologies played an integral role in the investigation, and became headline news as we watched the events unfold in real time. As the five-day manhunt progressed, there was a coming together of citizen and state. Citizens were called upon to help identify the suspects, and became active agents throughout the investigation. One way to conceptualize all that happened in Boston at this time is to apply, and work through, the surveillant assemblage. “Assemblages consist of a multiplicity of heterogeneous objects, whose unity comes solely from the fact that these items function together,…

    It was just another Patriots’ Day in Boston on April, 15th, 2013. It would be the 117th annual Boston Marathon, with spectators from all over the world. For Sydney Corcoran and her parents, they were there supporting their aunt run in the race (Brian 6). At 2:49 that afternoon, it would never be the same for Sydney. With over 5,600 runners still trying to complete the twenty-six mile run, a pressure-cooker bomb exploded near the finish line on Boylston Street. Next, another bomb exploded within seconds of the first, only a couple hundred feet down the street (“Boston” History). For Sydney, it was the beginning of a nightmare. She had lost her parents, and was down on the ground with a piece of metal the size of a cell phone stuck in her foot (Brian 5). There was no turning back now for most bystanders near the finish line, and the Boston Marathon would never be the same. The suffering and sadness of this tragedy left the city with three deaths, hundreds without limbs, several hospitalized, and billions of Americans worried about…
