Double Jeopardy

Double Jeopardy
Double Jeopardy (1999)

IMDB rating: 5.90

Plot: When Nick Parsons appears to be murdered his wife Libby is tried and convicted. Six years later Libby is paroled and with the help of Travis Lehman (her parole officer) she sets out to find her son and the truth behind the “murder”.

Directors: Beresford Bruce

Actors: Jones Tommy Lee,Weir Benjamin,Brazeau Jay,Greenwood Bruce,Maclaren John,Evanko Ed,Campbell Bruce,Elliott Brennan,Gaston Michael,McBeath Tom,Jacox David,Thriller,Drama,Mystery,Crime,

Can you be arrested for killing someone after you were already tried for murdering them?
Here’s the layout: Say you kidnap somebody, and then you’re tried for their murder because you make yourself an obvious suspect. But throughout the trial, for lack of evidence, you are proven not guilty. So after you dodge that bullet, can you go out in public and literally kill him and not be tried because of double jeopardy? I’d like to know the technicalities because it seems like it would work.
Suspending some reality, if they literally took me on murder even though know body was found, and I was declared not guilty, I’m wondering if I just finally took the guy and killed him could they try me again? Also I’m wondering do they actually use the dates as part of the crime? Like "you’re guilty of killing Tom Green on march 4th", I think that’s a little too specific cause what if, say, you killed him on march 3rd, then they’d have to make a whole new case, wouldn’t they? I think it’s the general murder.
I’m currently studying the judicial system in government class, so anybody with the knowledge, use terminology liberally, please. The answers have been good.


Without a body the charges of homicide are very rarely brought forward. But you could still be charged with kidnapping. Therefore if you were to go out and kill the person you kidnapped, the standard of double jeopardy would not be in place because you were not originally charged for that crime in the first place.

How could you be tried for murdering someone if that person is not dead?
Daniel | Dec 07, 2009


It’s that you can’t be found guilty twice so the ‘not guilty’, then ‘guilty’ scenario doesn’t work

If you are tried for their MURDER and found not guilty how can you go out and kill that person again?
firewomen | Dec 07, 2009


I don’t think double jeopardy would work.

You would be accused of a murder of a specific person on a specific time and day. That is the crime you are charged with. You are acquitted of that crime.

Now if you for real kill the person you were acquitted of killing then that is a whole entirely new crime.

read eay points to get just answer?
What are your thoughts about the form or the message of this poem. what according to the speaker is our destined end or purpose

Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust thou return est,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, how e’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, – act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’er head!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait
Please no dumb answers and NO this is not hw im just wondering thank you make it at least a paragraph i don’t want to read more than that


The poet, trough this poem is trying to convey a message on our life and what it’s goal is. According to him, our goal is to act, and so, that tomorrow finds us farther than we are today.

If you look at THIS stanza:
"
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.

Rosemary’s Baby

Rosemary's Baby
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

IMDB rating: 8.10

Plot: After moving into a creepy old apartment in Manhattan with her husband Guy, Rosemary Woodhouse begins to experience odd, unpleasant things happening to her. Guy becomes enchanted with their nosy neighbors, Minnie and Roman Castevet, after the older couple’s ward commits suicide. Then Rosemary gets pregnant after a bad dream in which a horrible creature makes love to her. A caring Minnie keeps giving her some weird concoction for the pregnancy and Rosemary doesn’t feel at all well. The only solution is, as the tag-line says, to “pray for Rosemary’s baby.”

Directors: Polanski Roman

Actors: Cassavetes John,Blackmer Sidney,Evans Maurice,Bellamy Ralph,Cook Jr. Elisha,Grodin Charles,Leeds Phil,Martin D’Urville,Horror,Mystery,Romance,Thriller,

Which name is your favorite?
Cayke (pronounced like cake)
Mavourneen (muh-VOOR-neen)
Rosemary
Iris

This is for a story, not a baby.


Rosemary…it has so many derivations and nns

Iris is pretty but a bit starchy & cold for my taste.

Mavourneen isn’t really a name, it’s derived from the Irish phrase mo muirnin meaning "my darling". So, it’s in the same vein as naming a baby "Precious" which is pretty nauseating, imho.

Cayke (the Cookie Cook) is a name that’s already been taken and couldn’t really be successfully used for another character.
It’s nice, however, to find someone who has read Baum’s "The Lost Princess of Oz".

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)

IMDB rating: 6.00

Plot: The standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades. Robin steals from the tax collectors, wins an archery contest, defeats the Sheriff, and rescues Maid Marian. In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights.

i find Robin Hood: Men in Tights for my PDA

Directors: Brooks Mel

Actors: Elwes Cary,Lewis Richard,Rees Roger,Blankfield Mark,Chappelle Dave,Hayes Isaac,Kramer Eric Allan,Porretta Matthew,Stewart Patrick,DeLuise Dom,Van Patten Dick,Ridgely Robert,Comedy,

Between The Princess Bride, Robin Hood Men in Tights, & Man in the Iron Mask?
Of course all 3 movies are just classics!
And I’m actually talking about the version of Man in the Iron Mask with Leonardo DeCaprio!

My favorite quotes and scene in The Man in the Iron Mask has to be when Porthos goes to hang himself in the barn! It’s just so darn funny! :D

"Well, I’m a genius, not an engineer!"
"You knew I would I try to hang myself and you sawed the beam!" :D

I actually love all 3 movies… but I’d say The Princess Bride is by far my most favorite out of all of them. I love the entire movie and I always have a hard time picking a favorite scene! I love it when Wesley sword fights with Ingo, and Ingo sword fights with the count the best though!

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
"Want a penut?!"

Plus Robin Hood Men in Tights is also just as funny and a classic!
"Hey Blinkin?"
"Did you say Abe Lincoln?"

Plus I just love Cary Elwes; he’s such an amazing actor and plays every role with such grace and talent! :D


My favorite line in the Princess Bride is when Indigo asks the man in the mask who his and says "I must know" and he is told "get used to dissappointment" "ok" Just the way he says OK with such sad resignation, quite funny. That and when the Giant says "my way isn’t very sportmen like"

Great movie one of my 5 all time favorites

chinamigarden | Feb 22, 2008


I’m not quite sure what you’re asking here, but maybe I just missed the actual question. But, I will say that The Princess Bride is a much better movie than Men in Tights and Man in the Iron Mask (I freakin’ hate Leo because he can’t act to save his life).

The Princess Bride is an amazing movie and it is hard to pick a favorite scene. Cary Elwes is a great actor, I agree.
Little Miss Priss | Feb 22, 2008


Princess bride. "you don’t happen to have six fingers on your right hand?"
"do you always begin conversations this way?"
Seven Castanza | Feb 22, 2008


I love Robin Hood Men in Tights it is the best it’s so funny..I love mel brooks movies they rock..

Prince John: Tell everyone that when the day is out we shall have a wedding. Or a hanging. Either way, we’re gonna have a lot of fun, huh?
LOLA | Feb 22, 2008


I love Robin Hood Men In Tights!

King John: And why should the people listen to you?
Robin: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
Tribbles | Feb 22, 2008


I haven’t seen The Man in the Iron Mask yet, but I love the Princess Bride. You’re definitely right about Cary Elwes. He’s so talented, it just takes your breath away to watch a movie with him in it.

Song for Co-Worker Who Is Leaving the Company?
We’re putting together a PowerPoint presentation for the goodbye party we’re throwing for our co-worker next week, and we want to include a song. This office is a bit on the conservative side and the co-worker is really religious, so I’m looking for something that won’t offend her.

The only two things I’ve come up with are "Saying Goodbye" from one of the Muppet movies (maybe "Muppets Take Manhattan") and the "It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye" song from the end of "Dreamgirls." Any other suggestions?
