    After reviewing all the evidence I have come to the conclusion that Matthew Maloy Murdered Robert Burlington. I have come to this conclusion using entomology and through the use of fingerprint, blood, tire track, and hair analysis. The fingerprint tests´ showed us that the only people who touched the bloody tire iron were Nicole Burlington and Matthew Maloy. Nicole Burlington is the spouse of the victim so her touching the item is reasonable but Matthew Maloy touching it is strange especially because we later learned Matthew Maloy shares the same blood type found on the tire iron meaning this was possibly the murder weapon.…

    It was a sunny, ordinary day the morning of March 13, 1934, but the events of the day were anything but regular. At close to 2:30 pm, a group of armed gangsters robbed the first national bank in Mason City, and escaped with approximately 52,000 dollars. The group included “Baby Face” Nelson, Homer Van Meter, John “Red” Hamilton, John Dillinger, Tommy Carroll, Eugene “Eddie” Green, either Red Forsythe or Joseph Burns, and, in some accounts, there was a seventh participant, most likely a woman.

    Dred Scott was slave who sued for his liberty in the Missouri courts, arguing that four years on free soil had made him free. He was once owned by army surgeon John Emerson. Dred Scott’s attorney argued that between 1831 and 1833, John Emerson had taken Scott with him during various military postings to areas where the Missouri Compromise banned slavery, making Dred Scott a free man. When nearly after six years in the Missouri courts, the state Supreme Court rejected this argument in 1852, Dred Scott, with the help of abolitionist lawyers, appealed to the United States Supreme Court. In a 7 to 2 decision, the Court ruled against Dred Scott.…

In 1892, the passenger Homer Plessy, who was one-eighths black and seven-eighths white, sat in a “whites only” car on a Louisiana train. Refusing to move to the black car, he was arrested and jailed for a charge of violating the Separate Car Act. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court.

    Leonard Cohen once said, “any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it”. When people create art, they have a reason. There is a meaning behind every song, book, and art piece. Artists will create these works of art to be subversive, to send a message or use them to go against what society or authority figures think they are capable of doing. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Hans and Liesel are subversive towards the Nazis.…
