Example of a 'Guilty' criminal who got away with little or no jail time? |
I'm doing a speech on criminals and how they can get away with things up to murder. But i need an example, thanks OJ Simpson is the best example. The cops tampered with the evidence and he was acquitted. He lost the civil suit and was found liable. Plenty of good examples can be found from historical records of the American Mafia. Just look at Al Capone - one of the most notorious criminals in American History, known for his widespread bootlegging and violent crimes, yet the only thing they could convict him of was tax evasion. The murder of Emmit Till. He was a fourteen year old from Chicago who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955. The man who murdered him ,J.W. Milam was acquitted by 12 jurors and later sold his story to a magazine where he admitted to killing him and of course because of double jeopardy he was not tried again. I have attached a link. Millikan the junk bond king. i think he is a guest speaker in a MBA program in California. any number of white collar criminals get very little time (in a country club prison). sorry, OJ was not convicted. there have been several Nazis that have never served any time, but have been convicted, but not located. also, check out the presidential pardon lists. debra lafave- Terry Scott. This was a gentleman in my community that because of a mental illness was not jailed for theft. His nickname in the neighborhood became "Terry Scott Free." Me. Today I drove 27 in a 25 zone and failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Those are crimes, punishable in my state by up to six months in jail. I served no time for them. Perfect example: O.J. Simpson "Scooter" Libby George W. Bush. OJ Simpson Neil Bush OJ Umm, O.J. comes to mind... |
