    Commemorating the Overseas-Born Victoria Cross Heroes a First World War Centenary Event

    Commemorating the overseas-born Victoria Cross heroes A First World War Centenary event National Memorial Arboretum 5 March 2015 Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, David Cameron The First World War saw unprecedented sacrifice that changed – and claimed – the lives of millions of people. Even during the darkest of days, Britain was not alone. Our soldiers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies from around the Commonwealth and beyond. Today’s event marks the extraordinary sacrifices made by 145 soldiers from around the globe who received the Victoria Cross in recognition of their remarkable valour and devotion to duty fighting with the British forces. These soldiers came from every corner of the globe and all walks of life but were bound together by their courage and determination. The laying of these memorial stones at the National Memorial Arboretum will create a lasting, peaceful and moving monument to these men, who were united in their valiant fight for liberty and civilization. Their sacrifice shall never be forgotten. Foreword Foreword Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles The Centenary of the First World War allows us an opportunity to reflect on and remember a generation which sacrificed so much. Men and boys went off to war for Britain and in every town and village across our country cenotaphs are testimony to the heavy price that so many paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. And Britain did not stand alone, millions came forward to be counted and volunteered from countries around the globe, some of which now make up the Commonwealth. These men fought for a country and a society which spanned continents and places that in many ways could not have been more different.

We set this proposal in a framework of how the inductive innocence paradigm was developed and analyze how the term “causation” is used in legal, scientific and case analysis. We then explore a subject not yet addressed by wrongful conviction scholarship but that may confront an investigator: whether an unsolved crime is the work of a serial criminal and whether a suspect is the serial criminal. We examine a convenience sample of forty-four exonerees convicted of crimes committed by thirty serial criminals. The analysis is aimed at opening up a discussion of the kind of complexity that investigators face in hard-to-solve cases. 1 We thank Sam Gross and the National Registry of Exonerations’ staff for providing case files. * Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Wayne State University. ** Assistant Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Wayne State University. 941 941 ZALMAN PRODUCTION (DO NOT DELETE) 12/17/2016 4:35 PM 942 Albany Law Review [Vol. 79.3 I.

These immediate casualties became a rallying point for the United States entry into the Pacific Theater and World War II. However, the 2,335 Navy serviceman and 55 American civilians were not the only casualties of that day. Shortly after the attack in Pearl Harbor, two-thousand Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated under suspicion of being possible Japanese sympathizers.1 They were followed within the next few weeks by around 120,000 others, only because their lineage traced back to the enemy. These citizens and their families would remain incarcerated until 1946, when the relocation camps were officially closed.2 From the camps they emerged fundamentally changed, becoming silent about their experiences. The culture of silence that followed was so prevalent that many of their children knew little to nothing about incarceration and internment.3 They felt that this silence was necessary in order to protect their children and their grandchildren from the shame of what had happened.4 Yet, as the memory of internment slowly crept back into the community, it birthed what we come to call today the Japanese Redress Movement; this protective nature toward their children later compelled around 750 Japanese Americans to testify about their experiences.5 The goals of the Redress movement included: A quest to absolve themselves of the accusations made against them during the war, an attempt to gain monetary reparations for 1 Mitchell T.

    Clock Is Ticking on First Execution at San Quentin's Revamped Death Chamber Albert Greenwood Brown Is Scheduled to Be Put to Death Via Lethal Injection Sept

    Clock is ticking on first execution at San Quentin's revamped death chamber Albert Greenwood Brown is scheduled to be put to death via lethal injection Sept. 29. The facility has undergone an $853,000 remodel and is now four times larger than the old chamber. Death row inmates would be strapped to this gurney in the lethal injection chamber, and three drugs would be administered intravenously. Albert Greenwood Brown is scheduled to be executed Sept. 29. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times / September 21, 2010) By Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times September 22, 2010 Reporting from San Quentin, Calif. — Pistachio vinyl covers the gurney in the state's new lethal injection chamber, the only splash of color in a sterile white room where corrections officials intend to put to death rapist-murderer Albert Greenwood Brown next week. An Elgin clock, the only other furnishing, ticks above the death bed, tracking the time to the first execution to be carried out in California in nearly five years — unless a judge moves to stop it. The hexagonal room surrounded by viewing compartments and a holding cell where Brown is expected to spend his last six hours were built to comply with a federal court order that state officials correct deficiencies in the execution regimen. U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel halted the February 2006 execution of murderer Michael Morales after hearing testimony about inadequate anesthesia and cramped conditions in the former gas chamber. Fogel's order set in motion a legal duel between those who want capital punishment practiced in a state where two out of three citizens support the ultimate penalty and those who oppose executions on moral, religious and economic grounds and have used the hiatus to challenge its validity in state and federal court.
