Wrongful Convection


These are two stories of people that were wrongfully convicted of a crime that that had not committed. There was no DNA testing to prove your innocents.

People before there was DNA testing would get put into jail for things like being around the crime scene or even for their color of their skin. In a murder case of a white girl being murdered in a black community. The police needed suspects for this crime and they got three that they thought that had maybe had done it. They said that the cops had bullied the information out of them. The cops took the profile that was made and changed a few thing that would make it so it was as if they were the ones who had competed the murder. They told one that if he signed it that he could go home and see his mom but they just locked him up. They then locked up the others without telling them the charges. All of the details were lies in the trials that had sent these three boys to jail. They finally got a lawyer that would try to take the case back to trial she used her own money her own time but finally got them back to court and were freed do to a DNA test that proved that it wasn't them. Latter the real people did it conffesed and there was only two.

The second story is a boy that was convinced by the cops that he had killed his younger sister in the next room. The cops thought that it had been some inside the home because there was no forced enter to the home. They told his parents that they were taking him to grief counseling for the death of his sister but they took him in for interrogation. They told him that they had found her blood in his room. Latter they had found the man one had committed this crime proving the kids innocents.

I feel there is a lot of cases like these that never had a happy ending for these people they were never able to have DNA test to help their case and some still sit in jail for a crime they never committed.

TED Talk

Ultra sound healing without cuts

This was started by William fry in when he discovered focused energy. This would help heal parts of the brain without harming the tissue around we're as a gama knife surgery dose hurt the tissue. They would use MRIs to focus the the ultra sound to help heal brain lesions uterine fibroids, and several cancerous growths.

This would helpful for the people that cannot have surgery because then it would just be the ultra sound to help heal. This would also be safer if they have a risk of not making it through the operation. I feel this would help many who need it or if there is no other option.

Forks over Knives

In this move we watched how having a green diet could be healthier then if you have animal protein. This would include dairy, and meat products. When I watched this move I thought to my self that if it is so good why don't more people do it. I know that I could never be able to do that.

Lucy the Human chimp






Lucy the human chimp had lived as a human and had never been away from he home and lived a good life as a chimp in the life of a human. 
Lucy was raised as a human but was a chimp but didn't know it. She was taken form her mom when she was young and grew up in a human family. She would make tea and she was taught how to sign to people to communicate with people. She had lived with her family for around ten years until she was to strong to live in the house. They tried to put a cage in the house for her to live in but it didn't work. So they tried to find some where to take her finally they found a place to keep her but she didn't like it. A lady that had meat with Lucy had came with them and she had stayed after they had left she knew Lucy didn't like it there. So she found a island that she could take Lucy and some of the other chimps to the island but they didn't like it at first but started to live there then she left Lucy there. She didn't return for a year and when she did Lucy came to see her. She left again and when she returned Lucy did not come to her she looked around and found her skeleton next to were she was living before she felt that it was poachers and she went up to them sense she had been around people all of her life.
When I heard this story I felt sad for what had happened to Lucy and how she had lived her life. I had never thought about these chimps that were raised as a human with a human family, and what these chimps feel when they are let go from the family they had grown up with the life they had learned to live all gone.
