Re: Welcome to week four of the CJ Forum presented by Yazmin Arreola.

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well. Hence, welcome to week four of the CJ forum, it is my hope each of you will enjoy the noted crime which transpired September 23, 2014. This was truly a tragedy I feel could have been avoided but as we all know the CJS can reactive verse proactive. Ms. Harrell

On September 23, 2014 in Inglenook, Alabama an employee that had been recently fired opened fire at his former place of employment which was the local UPS store. Prior to the shooting the suspect appeared at his prior place of employment wearing his UPS uniform so he would not be noticeable. Hence, it was noted by the time the police responded to the call the shooting had concluded with the death of three people including the gunman that reportedly took his life. Additionally, the two victims are believed to be higher-ranked employees; however, no one knows the gunman’s motivation for the shooting. 

Furthermore, police said there were no other suspects and the shooting in currently under investigation, it should be noted that the preliminary investigation has concluded that the shooter knew exactly who he wanted to target. Also, a similar killing happened in April where a FedEx worker wounded 6 people in Georgia before taking his own life.

1.    Do you think businesses or agencies should revamp/revise their practices in regards to background checks for their applicants?  Why or why not?

2.    What can the businesses do to prevent that any of their employees from returning to retaliate because they have been fired?  Please keep in mind as noted above the terminated employees often returns and the results are deadly or injuries so what could be done differently if anything to ensure this does not transpire again?

Hello everyone,

Welcome to week three of our interactive Criminal Justice Blogs!

On February 27, 2012, T.J. Lane was a 17-year-old sophomore at Chardon High School.  Lane was found guilty of killing three teens and wounding three others at his local high school.  Hence, Lane admitted his crime, didn't offer a reason, and was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences at the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima without the possibility of parole.

Lane lived with his grandparents and was slow to open up about his personal life, according to friends. While he was known by many around Chardon High School, located 30 miles east of Cleveland, at the time of the shooting he was there to be transported to Lake Academy Alternative School in nearby Willoughby (Alternative Campus for teen’s).

It should be noted between 1995 and 1997, the first two years of Lane's life, his father and his mother were both arrested for domestic violence.  Additionally, his father also served prison time for assaulting a police officer and he also was charged with holding a different woman under running water and bashing her head into a wall, the newspaper reported

1   1. Please review all the videos and interject your perspective in regards to the noted incident.

     2.   Do you believe a child that witnesses spousal abuse will result to life of violence e.g. murdering others or bullying why or why not?


     3.  Do you think a student raised by a guardian other than your biological parent pose a threat to society because of lack of parental guidance why or why not?

     4. Do you think he continues to pose a threat to society who or why? Also what measures could be implemented to ensure he does escape prison again?

Re: Zaira Lopez; week two 2014-2015 School Year.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to week two of the 2014-2015 school year. It is my hope you all are posting and noting your perspective as it relates to the topics of the week.  Friendly reminder blogs are due Sunday by midnight.  Have a great weekend!!!

On September 8, 2014 Renata Congleton, 27, drove drunk to Trinity Elementary School in Florida to pick up a child, however, staff reportedly noted she was extremely intoxicated. Hence, her blood-alcohol was more than five times the legal limit, registering at .413. So school officials did not allow the child to leave the premise with Renata so she fled crashing into two vehicles before the police reported to the scene.  When police were finally able to apprehend Renata she was at her residence sitting on the porch, it should be noted she resisted by kicking and scratching the deputies.

1. What would you charge Renata with and why?

Re: Gio Lopez; week one 2014-2015 School Year.

Greetings everyone,

Welcome to week one!!!! Please read below and note your perspective (one main response and two responses to your peers).

In Roanoke, Virginia a 2 year old girl was pronounced dead on Sunday. Authorities say they received a call about a little girl who was unresponsive. Authorities say the car that the girl was in was parked at a residence and that temperatures reached 90 degrees that day. As of now, the investigation is pending and authorities aren't sure what the cause of death was, or if the girl was left in the car accidentally.

Do you believe that the parents left her in the car accidentally or intentionally?

Would you charge the parents? Why or why not?
