Case of Injustice

The Counterman family lived in a house that had fire history. It was a family of five and both of the parents had low IQ's. The parents were lying in bed when their oldest son woke up the wife to tell them that there was a fire. The wife woke up the husband and he went downstairs and tried to put the fire out with a bucket of water. The smoke drove him outside and he climbed up on the roof to see if he could get in to save his children. Realizing he couldn't he jumped off the roof and broke his heel. The three children died and the wife had 2nd and 3rd degree burns. She couldn't remember anything after she woke her husband up. She said that her husband has been violent and has been saying that he didn't want a family anymore so she thought he started the fire. The husband thought that his eldest child had lit the fire because he has done that before. The court got evidence and they said that the husband was at fault so he got a death sentence. Before he could be killed detectives came in and looked at the evidence. They said that all evidence that showed the husband was innocent was being suppressed and that there was no way he could have lit the fire. I thunk justice wasn't served at first because the judge was hiding evidence that the husband was innocent. Also they didn't look at everything properly they shouldn't have given him a death sentence because it was too severe a punishment. My research method was I looked up cases of injustice and read an article.

Should she face the death penalty?

Teresa Lewis shouldn't have the death penalty. She shouldn't be killed because she was tested and her I.Q. is border-line retarded. Also they said that she was being manipulated by a stronger person. Instead of lying and saying that she didn't kill her husband and her step-son she told the truth and said that she was guilty. The death penalty is not the right punishment for her actions.

How do you deal with anger?

It depends on who is making me angry. Usually I try to keep it inside but I am usually crabby if I try to keep it in. If my little brother is the one who made me mad I usually have an argument with him. Also it depends on how angry I am. If I'm super angry I flip out, but that doesn't happen often. If I'm just a little irritated then I usually don't do anything.
