Supreme Court declines to hear 'Making a Murderer' case - 0 views

  •  
    "While Wisconsin courts ruled Dassey's confession was voluntary, a federal magistrate judge and a three-judge appeals court panel disagreed, saying he should be retried or released from prison. Then, in late 2017, the full appeals court ruled 4-3 that the state courts' determination that Dassey's confession was voluntary was reasonable, meaning no release or retrial. The Supreme Court's announcement it wouldn't take the case left that decision in place."

    Today everyone needs to COMMENT a response to this article. Please answer both: ~In your personal opinion, did the police act appropriately? ~Based on your team's taser policy (from yesterday) was this an acceptable taser deployment? Why or why not?
  •  
    Well she could have posed a threat to herself or the police so yes this was an acceptable taser deployment my group policy is that no minors will be tased unless under some circumstances like concealing a weapon or posing a threat to self or others.
  •  
    i think it was the right thing to do because they saved her life but according to my group policy it shouldn't be ok because we put that minors shouldn't have the taser used on them
  •  
    I think that the police were correct by using a Taser. This girl had the intent to harm others but mainly herself. I do think there could have been better ways to prevent her from harming herself but the Taser worked just as well. My group had the policy of No one under 10 unless has possession of a weapon. This girl had a weapon (knife) in her possession AND intent to harm. Therefore, the police acted appropriately according to my group's policy.
  •  
    I do think the police officer acted properly because there aren't many choices in a situation like that. His main goal was to save the girl from further harming herself or anyone else. Based on my group's rules yesterday, it probably wouldn't have been acceptable because the girl was under 15.
  •  
    I think they did the right thing, if she was really threatening to commit suicide, I'm not sure where an 8 tear old gets that idea, but according to my group policy, it shouldn't have happened because she wasn't threatening the police.
  •  
    I think what they did was wrong when i just heard about it but after finding out she had a knife and was being suicidal i think what they did was right what else should they have done so she wouldn't hurt herself? With are policy it was not but in this case it was okay.
  •  
    Yes because she was going to kill her self and the police saved her life. So i think that they did what they should have.
  •  
    I think the police did the right thing. They're were trying to stop her from hurting herself. She was a threat to them and her self.
  •  
    I think the police did act appropriately in this situation. The little girl was pointing the knife at herself and the officer. The police weren't quite sure if she would harm herself so they tased her to get the girl's behavior under control. According to our policy from yesterday this was acceptable taser deployment.
  •  
    I think the police acted appropriate because the girl tried to kill her self and based on my team this would be acceptable because we said the girl had a knife and they should have used the taser against the girl for their safety and the girls.
  •  
    If he had to taze her to safe her he should do it and she did point a knife at the police office Yes she threatend the police officer and herself
  •  
    From what my group said, the cop was right when he tazered the girl
  •  
    Police acted appropriately. According to my group the use of a taser should not of been allowed because the girl was under the age of ten.
  •  
    I believe that the police acted appropriately because there was no other way to get her to put the knife down. They talked to her about putting the knife down to give her an opportunity for this to not happen but she did not listen and suffered the consequences. My group thought that if the person is refusing to obey police order that the taser is okay to use, and in this case exactly that happened.
  •  
    i fell that the officer did the right thing because the 8 year old was going to kill herself if anything the police officer saved her life and based on my teams decision it wouldn't have been ok but she is trying to kill herself
  •  
    She could have harmed herself or the police, so the taser use was appropriate in this case. Based on my team's taser policy I think it would be okay to use in this situation.
  •  
    they saved her life so therefore i think it was the right thing to do.
  •  
    I think the police did good with taser the girl. Also it would meet all of my groups expectations
  •  
    I think in this situation the police did the right thing, yes it was acceptable because she could have harmed herself and others.
  •  
    The officer could of handled this problem better, but he the right thing.
  •  
    First why would an 8 year old girl be suicidal but regardless the officer did the right thing so they can figure out what the problem is
