Assignment 2: A Drug Deal Gone Bad

This assignment aims to evaluate the criminal investigations process.

Here's What Happened. . .

Around 12:00 pm on September 13, 2004, Fred Smith walked across the road to Bill Jones's house to ask for a ride. Although it was almost fall, it was still very hot outside and Smith needed to pick up money in a neighboring town. Smith did not want to walk from Centervale to Roan County, so he offered to pay Jones $ 20.00 for gas and his time to drive Smith to pick up his money. Jones accepted Smith's offer; However, Jones told Smith that he had to pick up a friend at a car repair shop along the way. Jones and Smith drove to Thrifty Repair Shop and picked up Jones's friend, Roger Fish. Fish was not in a hurry that day, so I agreed to ride with the pair to pick up Smith's money.

The trio arrived at 200 S. Railroad Street, Brysonton, Roan County, AnyState. Smith exited the car and told Jones and Fish to wait in the car. As Smith walked toward the front of the residence, he yelled to the occupants inside, "You got some weed?" "Yeah," Raynard Jenkins replied from inside the residence. Jenkins greeted Smith at the door and asked him, "What you got?" Smith pulled out a Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum and shot Jenkins in the chest at point-blank range.

As Jenkins was falling toward the ground, Bob Marshall, a local drug dealer, jumped up from the corner of the couch, dropped a large bag of cocaine on the floor, and ran into the kitchen and out the back door. Smith chased Marshall, shot at him twice, but missed him. Smith ran back to the car and yelled to Jones, "Punch it! He tried to smoke (kill) me." The group sped away in a brown Ford Taurus, but were pulled over by Deputy R. W. Dunn approximately five miles from the scene. After coming to a complete stop, Jones threw the gun onto the rear floorboard of the car, next to Fish.

Deputy Dunn approached the car, asked the men to exit the car, and detained them to await another officer's arrival. When the officer was brought to the location where the men were being detained, a witness who saw the shooting identified Jones as the shooter. Smith, Jones, and Fish were arrested, transported to the Roan County Sheriff's Office for additional questioning, and booked into jail on first-degree murder charges.

The Investigation . . .

State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Special Agent (SA) Pete Moss arrived at the scene at 200 S. Railroad Street, Brysonton, Roan County, AnyState, with CSI and SBI SA April Pearson at 1:03 p.m. to assist the Sheriff's Office with investigating the murder of Jenkins and the attempted murder of Marshall. SA Pearson interviewed key witnesses who lived in the immediate area within proximity of the crime scene, while SA Moss began drafting a search warrant. Although the Sheriff's Office had secured the scene around the house, SA Pearson secured an additional larger area that extended into the street. Both the interior and exterior barriers were secured with crime scene tape. The Sheriff's Office arranged to have the suspects' car towed to a secure location for processing.

SA Moss completed the search warrant, and Superior Court Judge Bradley signed it after reviewing it for format, technical legal aspects, and probable cause. SA Moss returned to the residence to execute the warrant so SA Pearson could begin to process the scene. SA Pearson started taking notes when she started taking photographs. She photographed the scene from the overall and close-up perspectives. She used a scale (ruler) with each item of evidence for the second close-up photograph. She conducted a grid search, placed evidence markers beside certain items of evidence she thought were important, and rephotographed those items—close-up and close-up with scale perspectives this time. She maintained notes about various aspects of the scene throughout the photographing process. SA Pearson drew a sketch with every item of evidence in the sketch and measured everything secured in the immediate barrier. She did not sketch the second barrier that included the road. She drew several sketches of each room of the house independently.

SA Moss enlisted the help of the Sheriff's Office detectives to assist with the lead sheet development. Three leads came in. SA Moss assigned each lead to a detective for follow-up. Detective Mark Rolland followed up on information about the Jenkins' family. Detective Erin Norse checked out a lead about Jenkins talking about killing Smith. Detective John Roberts followed a lead about Fish selling drugs from the car repair shop. Each detective interviewed his witness and typed up his notes. They threw away their notes after they were finished because they didn't need them anymore and what the witnesses said was in their typed-up versions now. SA Moss checked off the witnesses one by one and shredded the lead sheet once all witnesses had been accounted for.

The investigation revealed that Smith was seen running after Marshall while shooting at him and that Jones was driving the getaway car. Numerous witnesses reported hearing several gunshots before they saw Smith running and shooting at Marshall. The crime scene evidence appeared to indicate, upon cursory review, that Jenkins was shot once in the chest in the doorway of his home. It also appeared that Jenkins was conscious for a period of time after suffering the gunshot wound, because SA Pearson observed swipe bloodstain patterns in the blood near his head. SA Pearson used a gridding method to map the bloodstain evidence, labeled the stains, and took at least two swabs from each stain she selected. She photographed the bloodstain evidence; took notes of the stains she swabbed, along with specific measurements; and took gel lifts of particular stains. No projectiles were recovered at the scene or from the autopsy. No shell casings were recovered at the scene.

SA Pearson also recovered the large, clear plastic bag containing a white, powdery substance that Marshall dropped on the floor as he ran from the house. The crime laboratory recovered Marshall's fingerprints from the plastic bag and matched them to his Ten-Print Card from a previous arrest.

SA Moss attempted to interview Smith, but Smith asked, "How much time can someone get for something like this?" and then asked for a lawyer. Agent Moss responded, "A significant amount of time." Smith laid his head on the table and went to sleep. Jones and Fish gave the same account of what happened by claiming that Smith got out of the car and walked up to the door. Then, they heard several shots, and then Smith ran back to the car with a gun and said someone tried to "smoke" him. The trio was booked into the local jail. Jones and Fish posted bail, but Smith was denied bond.

SA Pearson recovered the Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum from the rear floorboard the next day, pursuant to a second search warrant issued for the suspects' car. She noticed a reddish-brown substance on the barrel of the firearm. SA Pearson placed the firearm in a plastic bag, sealed it, put the bag in a plastic tote, and put the tote in her trunk. Then, SA Pearson noticed a brownish-red substance consistent with the color of blood on the passenger side door. SA Pearson took two swabs of the stain using a sterile swab and distilled water. One tested positive for blood by a presumptive test called phenolphthalein. SA Pearson allowed the other swab to dry thoroughly and placed it into a sterile envelope for confirmatory testing and DNA testing at the crime lab.

Here’s What You Need to Do . . .

You have been asked by the sheriff to evaluate the investigation: What was done correctly, what was done incorrectly, what is missing from the investigation, what was done well, what wasn't done well, what can be done better next time, why what was done incorrectly, not at all, etc., is a problem, and other aspects relevant to evaluation.

• Murder investigations are extremely complex. They demand forward-thinking, analytical-thinking investigators who understand what it takes to do things right at a crime scene. Identify, define, describe, and examine the terms related to a criminal investigation that are used throughout the story and investigation sections of the LASA.
• Research criminal investigation processes. First, compare your research with the process described above. Then, evaluate the process these investigators used to investigate this murder and attempted murder—what they did well versus what they did not do well, etc.—and offer suggestions for what they could do to improve their investigatory process.
• Analyze the crime scene investigation conducted by SA Pearson. What aspects of her investigation were performed properly? Improperly? Why?
• Illustrate and explain how documenting a crime scene relates to the courtroom presentation of a case. What happens if a case becomes a cold case and it is not solved for thirty years? What components would you as a prosecutor want to have to show a jury if you had to prosecute this case thirty years after it happened?

Submission Details:

• Save the final presentation as M3_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.
• By the due date assigned, submit your final presentation to the Submissions Area.

Database Design Proposal: Proposal Outline

Abstract

Database systems provide organizations with a wide range of benefits including faster storage and retrieval of information, business intelligence and compliance with information security policies. Despite these numerous benefits, there are challenges that organizations face during the design phase. This proposal presents a database design proposal for a typical healthcare organization to handle events like storage of patient records, physicians, track finances, store medical examinations and treatment and ensure efficient booking of appointment by patients (Doukas, Pliakas, & Maglogiannis, 2010). The proposal will present a conceptual design that includes an ERD model.

Introduction

Manual maintenance of information is becoming difficult and obsolete as healthcare technology advances. In the healthcare industry, the storage of medical records is electronic hence requiring a healthcare organization to store information in a database and access them through a database management system. Currently, healthcare industry faces a challenge of slow information processing, loss of medical records, breaching of information security, massive consumption of papers due to manual storage and inaccuracy in analyzing data. This project aims at addressing these issues through a design of healthcare database using Entity-Relationship modeling. An Entity-Relationship model is a high-level design of the database that shows database entities, attributes, and the relationship between the entities (Earp & Bagui, 2012). Entities are real objects like patients, physicians, and hospitals while attributes are elements that give the objects its characteristics. Attributes include race, age, size, and address.

Solution

Despite the numerous benefits associated with database storage, there are challenges that organizations face during the design phase. However, this solution aims at developing a database design for a typical healthcare organization to handle events like storage of patient records, physicians, track finances, store medical examinations and treatment and ensure efficient booking of appointment by patients. The proposal will present a conceptual, logical and physical design through an Entity-Relationship model. The proposed database will also include a relational schema of the database to allow generation of results based on the desired queries developed in SQL (Al-Masree, 2015).

The project will be limited to design process of the database to yield deliverables like an ERD diagram, list of entities and attributes, a data dictionary, and description of the database design. The steps required to accomplish this objective will begin with the identification of entities and attributes, setting the relationships, presenting the entities in an ERD diagram and developing a data dictionary. A data dictionary will help map the project to a database design.

Resources

This project requires both human resources, financial capital, software components and hardware components. The human resource required include a graphic designer, database administrator, business requirements analysis, and a software engineer. Software requirements for the project include a relational database system like MS Access and SQL server and graphic design software like Adobe suite and Illustrator. Hardware components for the project are five Dell personal computers.

Budget

The table below shows a high-level budget estimation for the project:

Resource Item

Estimated Cost

Human Resource

$21, 000

Software Components

$1,250

Hardware components

$2,500

Total

$23,750

 

Users

Physicians: these are the database users with a strong knowledge in medical practice. However, these users have a limited experience in database management but can handle basic computer operations including running queries, reading from a database and creating useful information to the database system.

Patients: this includes a group of users with a mixed level of knowledge and competencies. They include computer experts and individuals with physical or technical disabilities. This group include the average users of the database but seeking medical advice from a healthcare facility. They also include family members of individuals seeking medical advice (Doukas et al., 2010).

Conclusion

Conclusively, the healthcare database design is highly recommended because it eliminates the vast expenses of using paper-based records. The design is also affordable because it does not include many stakeholders hence reduced disagreements during execution. Additionally, the design will help in improving the accuracy, security, and usability of the medical database. Upon successful implementation of the project, the project will result in improved return of investment for the hospital organization due to minimal operating costs and optimum delivery of services.

Areas of Difficulty

Identifying the database entities was challenging because it requires an interpretation of business requirements to identify the objects. At first, there were numerous entities identified that could lead to enormous database design. However, with closer consideration of the normal routine of a patient-physician healthcare visit, it was possible to determine the relevant entities and eliminate the irrelevant entities.

Developing the Entity Relationship diagram was also difficult because I was not familiar with the development tool. After implementing the first entity, adding attributes and inserting an appropriate relationship, it was easier to complete demonstrating and transfer them to this report.

Discussion 2 requires no references and must be put in your own words it is an opinion question

 America's involvement in the Great War has been frequently debated. Should America have entered the war sooner to help its allies? Should America have avoided the conflict all together? Some say the sale of American goods to the allied nations prolonged the war, others say that American supplies were the only life-line available to the desperate Allied Powers. What do you think? 

 

 

Discussion 3

respond to this student post leigh

 

I think America should have joined the war sooner. Their were many lives lost and the war was more than likely prolonged due to Americas early involvement. America was pretty much a super power during this time in history. I think American supplies made a positive difference in helping to end the war and supplying a win for the good side. Over all America should have joined the war sooner because their influence could have made difference in the amount of lives lost.

Texas is part of a federal system of government, that is, it is one of fifty states in a political system that divides power between the national and state governments. The United States Constitution, federal law, federal court decisions, and federal treaties make up the highest level of political authority in the country. States possess considerable powers of their own so long as they are not in conflict with the federal government. The history of federalism in the United States reflects real arguments about which level of government should exercise the most political power in the country. Texans, like many southerners, have long taken the position that state and local governments should be the centers of power, while others believe that federal authority is uniform and better for the nation as a whole.

In addition to the broad grant of power the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution gives to states, the Texas Constitution provides an elaborate description of local governments and sets forth their relationship to the state. Municipalities (cities) and counties have been granted significant powers, including home-rule status to cities that exceed 5,000 in population. So important to the functioning of a geographically large state, this home rule rule enables large cities to make their own laws as long as they do not conflict with federal or state laws. Counties in Texas, on the other hand, are restricted by Dillon's Rule, which means they lack the independent power to make their own laws and instead carry out functions given by the state. These beliefs about state and local political control infuse the spirit of federalism in Texas.power the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution gives to states,* the Texas Constitution provides an elaborate description of local governments and sets forth their relationship to the state.

The 1876 Texas Constitution, defines the relationship of Texans to their government and the government to the people. It is a long, detailed, reflective complex of nineteenth-century conservative values. In its great length, it essentially tells the government what it is and therefore restricts it to doing that which is explicitly granted. It creates a weak governance and provides that the legislature meet only once every two years in regular session for a limited time period of 140 calendar days. So important to the drafters of this document were the rights and protections of Texans that the first Article sets forth the Texas Bill of Rights, not a series of amendments like we find in the US Constitution. And even more so than the United States Constitution, the Texas Bill of Rights protects Texans from the potential abuse of political power by the state. Texans consider themselves among the freest Americans in the union. These beliefs about limited government infuse the spirit of the Texas Constitution.to the people.

This Assignment allows you to explore how current state officials perceive their role in Texas society today. Assessing the state's relationship to key issues occurring in Texas, we will deepen our understanding of politics by taking place around us. We will learn about this term, the Republican Party, the modern party of political conservatism, dominates state government in Texas, including 95 of 150 members in the House, and 20 of 31 members of the Senate, the governor and all other members of the plural executive, and all but one state judgeships. However, although technically non-partisan, Texas's largest cities have elected politically liberal governments that seek to use their ordinance (law) making powers to enhance the quality of life for all residents.

Theoretically opposed to "big government," Texas Republicans have pursued tax and program cuts in an effort to shrink the scope of state government while simultaneously attempting to expand state political control over local affairs, including fracking regulations, sanctuary city status, plastic shopping bag bans , and ride-sharing restrictions. Additionally, Texas Republicans have used their political power to legislate in privacy areas such as placing limits on abortion providers, defunding Planned Parenthood, and regulating public restroom use thereby increasing the scope of state government powers over local governments.

This assignment seeks to evaluate your understanding of Texas politics in relation to a question of federalism and a question of privacy. The assigned readings for Module 1 as well as information you are linked to below will help you formulate your responses to the Assignment questions. This is a critical thinking exercise that calls you to obtain, weigh, and assess information. It will take time to do this well.
