Sherrice Iverson

Sherrice Iverson was a 7 year old girl that was raped and murdered by an 18 year old man. Jeremy Strohmeyer was sentenced to four life sentences for this crime. 21 years later, his lawyers asked the courts to reconsider his case, arguing that an 18 year old acts on impulse. Their brains aren't mature enough to make rational decisions. The US supreme court had also decided that juveniles sentenced to a life sentence for the killing of just one person, should be given the chance of parole.  I will allow you to make your own judgement as to whether poor Jeremy should be given the chance at life again as I explain what happened on the 25th May 1997.

The Lesbian Triangle

Its the summer of '97, 18 year old Stacy Hanna has finally decided to make the 9 hour move from her hometown Lynchburg, Tennessee to the Richmond, Virginia. She see's this opportunity as a chance to finally figure out who she is, allow herself to blossom into the woman she is meant to be. It is ironic how she ended up there. I mean, she only moved to Richmond to help one of her friends settle into the area. She quickly fell in love, finding a job and a nice townhouse to move into. Stacy shared this townhouse with a young girl called Kelly who was nineteen at the time, who was a mutual friend. A lot of people either stayed at the townhouse or were frequent visitors. Domica Winckler (18), Dana Vaughn and Tracy Bitner (19) were those who were known to authorities. Tracy was in a relationship with Kelly and if you hadn't realised thus far, all of these girls, including Stacy were lesbian. The extent to which Stacy's sexuality is something people knew about is not so
