DNA testing

Hello Readers,

Today I am going to talk about a case that was solved with DNA evidence .

In December of 2012 a man broke into a Bobbie Sue's Restaurant  in Arkansas. He stole two jars filled with money that was meant to go to charity and ate some pie. He left the spoon from the pie at the restaurant and that is how they got him.

His picture is below:

Poll about Tinker v Des Moines

Hello Readers,

Today I am going to be talking about the case of Tinker v. Des Moines.  This case was about a school that said that students would not be allowed to wear arm bands to voice their opinions against the Vietnam war. The kids were ended up being suspended for a couple of weeks for not removing their arm bands.

The kids said that it violated their First Amendment right to free speech and the right to protest the war.

The principal said that it would disrupt their learning and the learning of other students around.  

Two other cases that were similar was Schenck v. United States where the Supreme Court said that an individual could be punished for distributing anti WW1 propaganda and Thornhill v.Alabama where the Supreme court said protesting was an acceptable form of free speech.

The Supreme Court ended up ruling that the students had the right to wear the arm bands as a right to protest.
