Your essay’s introduction paragraph must engage your readers immediately and clearly state your argument.
Context can set the scene and provide the groundwork for an essay’s thesis statement. But what constitutes context? Context includes details and descriptions that orient readers toward existing perspectives, cultural attitudes, and the subject or question being discussed.
Nikolas Cruz’s Defense Attorney Tamara Curtis
The Florida Bar association announced on March 9 that they have initiated an investigation into an apparent middle finger gesture made by Broward County Assistant Public Defender Tamara Curtis during court proceedings, according to a spokeswoman from their bar association.
An attorney was accused of intentionally disengaging from a camera during a pre-trial hearing by rubbing her middle finger across her cheek and laughing as it recorded. This came to light this week during victim impact statements given against their defense team.
Curtis has not commented publicly on the alleged incident; she was part of a team which successfully argued against witnesses referring to Cruz as “an animal” during his trial for killing 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last fall. As an experienced death penalty attorney, Curtis has saved the lives of numerous killers over her 20-year career.
Buster Murdaugh’s Attorney Lynn Murdaugh Goattee
Alex Murdaugh of South Carolina and his family are making headlines once again for their roles in the murder trial of his wife Maggie and son Paul. Lynn Murdaugh Goattee in particular is garnering considerable media coverage due to her behavior during testimony against her nephew – for flipping off witnesses during testimony sessions and flipping the bird while testifying against him in court.
Legal Heir has been present at his father’s murder trial and testified about how devastated he was by their deaths, along with their opioid dependency which required rehab treatment.
Buster’s father is currently serving two life sentences for the murder of his wife and son, as well as numerous financial charges from state and federal governments. To defend him against these allegations, Butch Bowers was hired. Recently they’ve been seen out together walking Miller the dog.
John Reynal’s Defense Attorney David Bankston
Alex Jones’ defamation damages trial over calling the Sandy Hook massacre a hoax continues, with F. Andino Reynal admitting on Thursday he apologized to an opposing lawyer during a heated courtroom discussion the previous day outside Travis County Judge Maya Guerra Gamble’s presence for flipping off another attorney during a heated discussion outside. Reynal expressed regret over this act of flippancy outside her presence.
Arguments over video evidence were at the core of Reynal and Bankston’s dispute regarding whether or not their 12-person jury could see additional video clips. Reynal wished to present jurors with a nine-minute clip from an InfoWars broadcast in which Jones acknowledged children died in the school shooting; Bankston objected on grounds that both had come to an agreement pretrial about only showing short clips.
Reynal became angry during their conversation and approached Bankston close, calling him out as a liar before raising his middle finger. Another attorney intervened, and both agreed that once their emotions had subsided they’d discuss videos over phone call later.
Sandy Hook Parents’ Attorney Neil Heslin
Alex Jones has caused havoc for the parents of Sandy Hook victim Jesse Lewis since 2012 with his false flag claims about mass shootings, according to testimony presented Monday by their attorneys. A forensic therapist retained by them has testified that threats and resurgence of Jones’ false flag claims have resulted in anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms for them and their attorneys.
Jones’ followers harassed the families, alleging that the massacre was faked and accusing them of acting out a play or crisis acting. Last year, their lawyers successfully sued Jones and won $1.5 billion in defamation damages from him in civil trials.
Lawsuits against Jones represent only a portion of their suffering; but according to lawyers representing their parents, these lawsuits have served as justice in some form. Their lawyers want as much of the award as possible so as to hold him responsible.
