Three boys tear through their rural New York hometown, in the midst of their young parents’ volatile love that makes and unmakes the family many times over. While Manny and Joel grow into versions of their loving and unpredictable father, Ma seeks to keep her youngest, Jonah, in the cocoon of home. More sensitive and conscious than his older siblings, Jonah increasingly embraces an imagined world all his own. With a screenplay by Dan Kitrosser and Jeremiah Zagar based on the celebrated Justin Torres We the Animals novel, ​ is a visceral coming-of-age story propelled by layered performances from its astounding cast – including three talented, young first-time actors - and stunning animated sequences which bring Jonah’s torn inner world to life.

    SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF FEBRUARY 26, 2018 PETITION OF PAMELA SMART FOR COMMUTATION OF SENTENCE AND COMMENT ON RECOMMENDATION IN OPPOSITION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP Robert E. Juceam One New York Plaza New York, New York 10004 (212) 859-8040 [email protected] Of Counsel Amelia Gordon Matthew Joseph Katherine. St. Romain Ronald Williams 807 17th Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20006 (202) 639-7000 I. Pamela Smart Never Had a Sentencing Hearing. Unlike the men who stood over Greg Smart and killed him by gunshot to the back of his head, all of whom are now on parole, Pamela Smart was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole because of a legislatively mandated minimum sentence. She was 22 when convicted of accomplice to murder, has been incarcerated 28 years and remains so at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. The judiciary never had an opportunity to determine whether the punishment fit the offender as well as the crime or whether it was inappropriately disparate from the sentence of the shooters or to give effect to the guidance of the New Hampshire Constitution (Pt. first, art. Xvii) that “the true design of all punishments [is] to reform, not to exterminate.” Executive Grace is the sole mechanism to individualize her punishment -- access to which is guaranteed to every New Hampshire citizen as of the present. II. Breadth of Support for the Petition. The State’s opposition attempts to discredit Ms. Smart’s wide-ranging support from the academic, celebrity, religious, philanthropic and other communities as well as decades of prison authorities and fellow inmates among others.

  • Cet Obscur Objet Du Désir Damien Detcheberry
    Gus Van Sant Prête à tout (1995) Cet obscur objet du désir Damien Detcheberry Revoir Prête à tout (1995) aujourd’hui renvoie immanquablement à l’étonnante parenthèse hollywoodienne de Gus Van Sant (1995-2000), et au questionnement de beaucoup sur un étrange choix de carrière venu court-circuiter des débuts prometteurs dans le cinéma américain indépendant. Première réalisation pour le compte d’une major – La Columbia –, premier film non scénarisé par Van Sant lui-même – le scénario est signé Buck Henry, scénariste vétéran responsable, entre autres, du Lauréat (1967) et de Catch 22 (1970) –, premier film mainstream en somme, Prête à tout esquive pourtant habilement les travers de la comédie hollywoodienne désincarnée. Bien plus qu’une réflexion singulière sur le quart d’heure warholien, Prête à tout s’affirme avant tout comme une œuvre vénéneuse et sensuelle sur la frustration du désir, révélant au grand public le pouvoir de séduction de Nicole Kidman, jusqu’ici limitée aux seconds rôles. Télescopages Prête à tout est l’adaptation du roman homonyme de Joyce Maynard, lui-même inspiré d’un fait divers survenu au début des années 90, celui de Pamela Smart, un professeur du New-Hampshire qui a séduit un de ses élèves et l’a convaincu d’assassiner son mari. Trois ans avant le procès-spectacle d’O.J. Simpson, celui de Pamela Smart a fait l’objet en Amérique d’une attention médiatique d’ampleur nationale. Cette sur-médiatisation a été absorbée dans le roman par le personnage de Suzanne Stone Maretto, une jeune arriviste qui comble son manque d’esprit par une volonté inébranlable à atteindre son rêve : devenir une journaliste vedette de la télévision.

  • Deconstructing the Image of the Female Journalist in the Film and Novel to Die For
    She’d Kill to Be Famous: Deconstructing the Image of the Female Journalist in the Film and Novel To Die For Courtney Kabot To Die For - Courtney Kabot 2 ABSTRACT You're not anybody in America unless you're on TV. On TV is where we learn about who we really are. Because what's the point of doing anything worthwhile if nobody's watching? And if people are watching, it makes you a better person. --Suzanne Stone1 All she wanted was a little attention. But aspiring television reporter Suzanne Stone got much more. Joyce Maynard’s novel To Die For, which was adapted into the Gus Van Sant movie, is a satire of television, journalists, and the price of fame. The protagonist Suzanne Stone is twenty-five years old, married, and has always dreamt of a career on television. But when she finds herself at a dead-end weather girl job at a local cable station, Stone decides to take matters into her own hands to make sure she gets her fame. She refuses to let anyone stand in her way— even her husband. Stone embodies characteristics that are often found in popular culture references of female reporters including narcissism and manipulation, and using sexuality and appearance to get ahead. To Die For explores some of the exaggerated or accurate representations of women journalists that are commonly found in movies, television, and literature. This image may be more than just a fictitious character in entertainment and may in influence the way viewers look at real female reporters in the media.

Much like their male counterparts, females are involved in a variety of different types of crime. While female crimes of violence are highly sensationalized by the media, these crimescopy, are rare occurrences. Instead, the majority of female offending is made up of crimes Wthat are nonviolent in nature or are considered victimless crimes, such as drug abuse and sexually based offenses. Males have always engaged in greater numbers of criminal acts. However, women are becoming more involved in crime and the criminal justice system. Research over the past several decades has focused on the narrowing of the gender gap, which refers to the differences in male and female offending for different types of offenses. But what does this really mean?not Are women becoming more violent than they were in the past, as media reports have suggested? Is the rise in women’s incarceration a result of more women engaging in serious criminal acts? What contributes to these changes? How do we investigate these questions? In Section I, you learned about the changes in male and female crime participation over a 1-year and 10-year period,Do using arrest data from the Uniform Crime Reports. Using these same data, we can investigate the gender gap in offending. Table 8.1 compares the percentage of males and females in different offense types.

  • Smart V. NYS DOC CV-99-179-M 09/30/02 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
    Smart v. NYS DOC CV-99-179-M 09/30/02 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Pamela Smart, Petitioner v. Civil No. 99-179-M Opinion No. 2002 DNH 174 Glenn S. Goord, New York State Department of Correctional Services, Respondent O R D E R Petitioner was convicted in the New Hampshire Superior Court as an accomplice to the first degree murder of her husband, conspiracy to commit that murder, and witness tampering. She seeks habeas corpus relief, asserting violations of her Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, denial of due process and a fair trial, and violation of her Eighth Amendment protection from cruel and unusual punishment. Respondent counters that petitioner is entitled to no relief on any of her claims. Procedural History Petitioner was convicted on March 22, 1991, following a 23- day jury trial. She filed post-trial motions for relief in the New Hampshire Superior Court, and pursued a direct appeal of her convictions to the New Hampshire Supreme Court on several grounds, some of which are reasserted in this habeas petition. The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the petitioner’s conviction in a published opinion. See State v. Smart, 136 N.H. 639 (1993). Four years later, petitioner filed a state habeas petition in the Superior Court, raising (and exhausting) the claims presented here. The state habeas court denied relief, and, on appeal from that decision, the New Hampshire Supreme Court summarily affirmed. Petitioner then timely filed this petition for federal habeas relief.1 She is currently serving a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole.
