There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior.

Lord Gardiner’s statement is a wonderful example of legislators recognizing that precedent may stifle the appropriate outcome in a legal dispute.

Just like these countries, Lord Gardiner believed that Britain should not limit itself to decisions based solely on decisions in the past because the modern day situations that arise often require a more complex and systematic methodology for determining justice.

Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”).

Today we are in the middle of a seeming “race-war” between civilians and law enforcement. Allegations are flung wildly, almost on a daily basis, concerning the use of excessive force by police officers as headlines continue to report abuse, and even deaths at the hands of those who are sworn to protect. It is considered more disconcerting because it is over twenty years after the 1992 L.A. riots, which brought the public’s attention to serious issues within law enforcement, and demanded change. Today, we are not seeing much of that change and the majority of the violence, if ...
