query: Ted Bundy was charged with murder.

pos: Ted Bundy Theodore Robert Bundy ( born Theodore Robert Cowell ; November 24 , 1946 -- January 24 , 1989 ) was an American serial killer , kidnapper , rapist , burglar , and necrophile who assaulted and murdered numerous young women and girls during the 1970s , and possibly earlier . Shortly before his execution -- after more than a decade of denials -- he confessed to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978 . The true victim count remains unknown , and could be much higher .   Bundy was regarded by many of his young female victims as handsome and charismatic , traits that he exploited to win their trust . He typically approached them in public places , feigning injury or disability , or impersonating an authority figure , before overpowering and assaulting them at more secluded locations . He sometimes revisited his secondary crime scenes for hours at a time , grooming and performing sexual acts with the decomposing corpses until putrefaction and destruction by wild animals made further interaction impossible . He decapitated at least 12 of his victims , and kept some of the severed heads in his apartment for a period of time as mementos . On a few occasions , he simply broke into dwellings at night and bludgeoned his victims as they slept .   Initially incarcerated in Utah in 1975 for aggravated kidnapping and attempted criminal assault , Bundy became a suspect in a progressively longer list of unsolved homicides in multiple states . Facing murder charges in Colorado , he engineered two dramatic escapes and committed further assaults , including three murders , before his ultimate recapture in Florida in 1978 . He received three death sentences in two separate trials for the Florida homicides .   Bundy died in the electric chair at Raiford Prison in Starke , Florida , on January 24 , 1989 . Biographer Ann Rule described him as `` a sadistic sociopath who took pleasure from another human 's pain and the control he had over his victims , to the point of death , and even after '' . He once called himself `` the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you 'll ever meet '' . Attorney Polly Nelson , a member of his last defense team , agreed : `` Ted '' , she wrote , `` was the very definition of heartless evil . ''

neg: United States v. Watson (1985) United States v. Watson , 501 A. 2d 791 ( D.C. 1985 ) , was a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that discussed requirements for premeditation for first degree murder . The court held that for a jury to find the element of premeditation , `` the time need not be long ... the time period may be as brief as a few seconds ... reflection and consideration , and not the lapse of time , are determinative of deliberation '' , so short durations do not automatically mean the killing was impulsive , done in the heat of passion , or done during frenzied activity .

neg: Robert F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories The conspiracy theories relating to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy , a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy , relate to non-standard accounts of the assassination that took place shortly after midnight on June 5 , 1968 , in Los Angeles , California . Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated during celebrations of his successful campaign in the Californian primary elections while seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. president .   The perpetrator was a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan , who remains incarcerated for the crime . However , as with his brother 's death , Robert Kennedy 's assassination and the circumstances surrounding it have spawned various conspiracy theories , particularly regarding the existence of a supposed second gunman . Such theories have also centered on the alleged presence of a woman wearing a polka dot dress claiming responsibility for the crime and the purported involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency . Many of these theories were examined during an investigation ordered by the United States Senate , and were judged to be erroneous by the Federal Bureau of Investigation , which investigated on the Senate 's behalf .

neg: Murder of Larry King Lawrence `` Larry '' Fobes King ( January 13 , 1993 -- February 13 , 2008 ) was a 15-year-old gay student at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard , California . He was shot twice by a fellow student , 14-year-old Brandon McInerney , and kept on life support until he died two days later .   Newsweek described the shooting as `` the most prominent gay-bias crime since the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard '' , bringing attention to issues of gun violence as well as gender expression and sexual identity of teenagers .   Following many delays and a change of venue , McInerney 's first trial began on July 5 , 2011 , in the Los Angeles district of Chatsworth . That trial ended on September 1 , 2011 when Judge Charles Campbell declared a mistrial because the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict . Prosecutors decided to try McInerney again , but dropped the hate crime charge .   On November 21 , 2011 , McInerney avoided the scheduled retrial by pleading guilty to second degree murder , voluntary manslaughter and use of a gun . The plea carries a sentence of 21 years imprisonment without chance of parole .

neg: Leopold and Loeb Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. ( November 19 , 1904 -- August 29 , 1971 ) and Richard Albert Loeb ( -LSB- ˈloʊb -RSB- June 11 , 1905 -- January 28 , 1936 ) , usually referred to collectively as Leopold and Loeb , were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who in May 1924 kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Robert Franks in Chicago . They committed the murder -- widely characterized at the time as `` the crime of the century '' -- as a demonstration of their perceived intellectual superiority , which , they thought , rendered them capable of carrying out a `` perfect crime '' , and absolved them of responsibility for their actions .   After the two men were arrested , Loeb 's family retained Clarence Darrow as counsel for their defense . Darrow 's 12-hour-long summation at their sentencing hearing is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment as retributive rather than transformative justice . Both men were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years . Loeb was murdered by a fellow prisoner in 1936 ; Leopold was released on parole in 1958 .   The Franks murder has been the inspiration for several works of film , theatre , and literature , including Patrick Hamilton 's 1929 play Rope and Alfred Hitchcock 's 1948 film of the same name . Later movies , such as Compulsion -- adapted from Meyer Levin 's 1957 novel -- and Swoon , were also based on the crime .

neg: Christopher Chubasco Wilkins Christopher Chubasco Wilkins ( September 29 , 1968 January 11 , 2017 ) was a Texas inmate sentenced to death and executed for a 2005 double murder .   On October 27 , 2005 , Wilkins shot and killed Willie Freeman and Mike Silva . Freeman had allegedly cheated Wilkins in a drug deal ; Silva was with Freeman at the time and thus witnessed the killing . The numbers `` 666 '' and a pentagram matching one of Wilkins ' numerous tattoos were found carved into Silva 's car at the scene of the murders . Wilkins ' fingerprints were also found . The previous day , Wilkins also allegedly killed Gilbert Vallejo outside a bar in south Fort Worth after a dispute over a payphone .   On October 28 , Wilkins was arrested and charged with the murders of Freeman and Silva ; he later also confessed to murdering Vallejo . He was sentenced to death on March 12 , 2008 , after only 90 minutes of deliberation by the jury . When asked by his defense lawyer if he wanted to die , Wilkins said : `` I guess , subconsciously , I 've been trying to get myself killed since I was 12 or 13 years old . I do n't have nothing to live for . I have n't been any good to anybody for the last 20 years and I wo n't be for the next 20 or the 20 after that . ''   Wilkins was initially scheduled to be executed on October 28 , 2015 ( which , coincidentally , was the 10th anniversary of his arrest ) . His execution was stayed and later rescheduled to January 11 , 2017 . Wilkins was executed by lethal injection on January 11 , 2017 , at 6:29 PM . He was 48 years old .

neg: Christopher Simcox Christopher Simcox ( 10 December 1909 -- 1981 ) was an English double murderer , notable and perhaps unique in being twice sentenced to death , and twice reprieved .   Simcox , a maintenance fitter by trade , lived in Smethwick in the West Midlands of England . He was divorced by his first wife for cruelty .   Simcox murdered his second wife in 1948 , and was sentenced to death at Stafford Assizes . However , in April 1948 the House of Commons had passed Sydney Silverman 's amendment to the then current Criminal Justice Bill to suspend capital punishment for murder for five years . The House of Lords overturned the amendment later in the year , but in the intervening period the Home Secretary , James Chuter Ede had announced that he would reprieve all condemned prisoners until the law was settled . Between March and October 1948 26 persons , including Simcox , were thereby reprieved . Simcox served 10 years in jail , before being released on licence .   He was married , for the third time , in 1962 to Ruby Irene . In 1963 he threatened his wife with an air-pistol , but was put on probation . His wife subsequently left him , with the help of relatives . On 11 November 1963 Simcox , armed with a rifle , went in search of his wife . He shot her sister , Mrs Hilda Payton , fatally through the head , before pursuing his wife to her brother 's house . There he shot them both , but they survived . Simcox then turned the gun on himself , shooting himself twice through the body , but he also survived .   In February 1964 Simcox was again tried at Stafford Assizes , and sentenced to death by Mr Justice Finnemore . The Homicide Act 1957 had restricted capital murder to a limited class of crimes , including murder with a firearm , and a second murder committed on a different occasion from the first . Simcox was eligible to be hanged on both grounds .   The wording of Simcox 's sentences of death was slightly different on the two occasions . In 1948 he was sentenced `` to be hanged by the neck until you are dead '' , while in 1964 he was sentenced `` to suffer death in the manner authorised by law '' . This change in language was provided in the 1957 Act ; the old language was considered anachronistic , as since the 1870s Britain had employed the `` long-drop '' method of hanging , which was held to cause near-instantaneous death .   Simcox 's date of execution was set for Tuesday 17 March 1964 at Winson Green Prison , Birmingham . However , his lawyers petitioned the Home Secretary , Henry Brooke , on the grounds that Simcox was still severely injured from his self-inflicted wounds , could not walk , and would probably have to be hanged in a wheelchair . There was no precedent for postponing an execution until a prisoner was fit enough to be hanged , and there was a history of reprieving prisoners whose executions might result in an unseemly spectacle owing to existing injuries or infirmity . On 14 March 1964 Brooke announced that Simcox had been reprieved , the sentence of death automatically being replaced by life imprisonment ; at that time there was no provision for attaching special conditions to such a sentence , meaning that one day Simcox might be released again , albeit on licence .   Five months later , the last-ever hangings in Britain took place , and in 1965 the death penalty was , in practice , abolished for murder .   In 1969 Simcox 's wife divorced him , and the civil judge in that case took the unusual step of recommending that Simcox never be released .   Simcox died in Portsmouth in early 1981 , aged 71 . It is currently not known whether he was still a prisoner at the time of his death .

neg: Negligent homicide Negligent homicide is a criminal charge brought against a person who , through criminal negligence , allows another person to die .   Negligent homicide is a lesser included offense to first and second degree murder , in the sense that someone guilty of this offense can expect a more lenient sentence , often with imprisonment time comparable to manslaughter . U.S. states all define negligent homicide by statute . In some states , the offense includes the killing of a person while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol .   Examples include the crash of Aeroperu Flight 603 near Lima , Peru . The accident was caused by a piece of duct tape that was accidentally left over the static ports ( on the bottom side of the fuselage ) after cleaning the aircraft , which led to the crash . Employee Eleuterio Chacaliaza left the tape on by accident and was charged with negligent homicide . Other times , an intentional killing may be negotiated down to the lesser charge as a compromised resolution of a murder case , as in the case of former UFC fighter Gerald Strebendt 's intentional shooting of an unarmed man after a traffic altercation .

neg: Sentencing Act of 1987 The Sentencing Act of 1987 ( Pub.L . 100-182 ) enacted some changes to the federal sentencing regime in the United States . The legislation amended to permit expressly departures based on circumstances of an exceptional `` kind '' or `` degree . '' The insertion of this new language was described by the manager of the House bill , Representative John Conyers , as `` clarifying '' in nature because it simply made explicit in the law that which was previously described in the Senate Committee Report as implicit and intended . There is evidence that under the new regime , sentences may not have increased as much as expected : although the average prison term for trial sentences increases post‐reforms , there is no systematic increase in the average length of the pleas .   Additionally , the law abolished parole for federal prisoners and created the United States Sentencing Commission . The commission makes the guidelines used by federal judges when sentencing people convicted of a federal crime .   The bill was introduced by Senator Joseph Biden on October 27 , 1987 . It was signed into law on December 7 , 1987 , by President Ronald Reagan .

neg: Richard Edwin Fox Richard Edwin Fox ( February 3 , 1956 -- February 12 , 2003 ) was executed by the state of Ohio for the kidnapping and murder of an 18-year-old college student whom he lured to her death with the fake promise of a job interview .   A three-judge panel convicted Fox of aggravated murder and kidnapping and sentenced him to death on June 27 , 1990 . He spent 12 years , 7 months , and 17 days on death row as his case was appealed through the state and federal court systems .

neg: Christopher Peterson (serial killer) Obadyah Ben-Yisrayl ( born Christopher Dwayne Peterson January 20 , 1969 ) is an American man found guilty of committing four murders and acquitted on three other murder charges related to the `` Shotgun Killer '' spree in Indiana from October 30 , 1990 to December 18 , 1990 .   The murders took place in a number of jurisdictions , and Peterson faced a number of trials in different venues . Peterson had initially confessed and then recanted . He was acquitted in two trials for three of the murders and found guilty of four murders in two subsequent trials . Initially sentenced to death for those murders , his death sentence was commuted in 2004 . Ronald J. Harris was also charged and found guilty in two of the murders .   The incident is controversial for a number of reasons such as Peterson is African American , while the initial descriptions of the suspect of the murders was described as white ; Peterson had been illegally arrested for committing another crime which impacted the use of evidence in the `` Shotgun Killer '' spree trials because it was deemed improperly collected ; Peterson 's initial confession was recanted under claims of duress ; the trials with all-white juries came to different conclusions than juries which included people of other races ; and in the final case to go to trial , the judge over-ruled the jury 's decision not to impose the death penalty .

neg: Signal Mountain murders The Signal Mountain murders refers to a widely publicized case in 1988 involving the shootings of Richard Mason , Kenneth Griffith , and Earl Smock near Chattanooga , Tennessee . The men were missing and being searched for by their relatives when they did not come home . The relatives followed a blood path to the bodies off Big Fork Road and later found the victims ' ATVs in a separate location . Their bullet-ridden bodies and ATVs were found in the woods of Signal Mountain near Roberts Mill Road . The three men had been riding along trails , portions of which crossed private property , planning on going for a swim .   The owners of the land were Frank Casteel and his wife , Susie . When Frank noticed more and more people intruding on his land he consulted a police officer who advised him to keep a logbook of everyone he witnessed . Frank had a run in with the three men and wrote it down , though never mentioned anything of murder . The men were later found dead and Casteel was a prime suspect . At the time Frank had a mistress , Mrs. Hill , whom Casteel 's wife sent his logbook to in hopes that Mrs. Hill would leave him . Mrs. Hill turned in the logbook to the police for evidence . Although there was no mention of violent behavior in the book and no physical evidence to support Casteel 's conviction , he was sentenced to life in prison . An appeal was made and eventually given an opportunity to overturn Casteel 's conviction in 2001 . The attorneys said there was no hard evidence that clearly identifies Casteel as the murderer . In 2003 Frank Casteel was found guilty again for the triple homicide and put back in prison .

neg: DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 The DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 ( H.R. 4640 , 42 U.S.C. 14135 et seq. ) is a United States Act of Congress that primarily allows US states to carry out DNA analyses for use in the FBI 's Combined DNA Index System and to collect and analyse DNA samples .   Under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 , 42 U.S.C. § 14132 , `` Congress authorized the FBI to create a national index of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ) samples taken from convicted offenders , crime scenes and victims of crime , and unidentified human remains . '' In response to this congressional mandate , the FBI established the Combined DNA Index System ( `` CODIS '' ) . The CODIS database provides a means for state and local forensic laboratories to share DNA profiles in an attempt to `` link evidence from crime scenes for which there are no suspects to DNA samples of convicted offenders on file in the system . ''   However , the 1994 Act was interpreted by the FBI to permit only the creation of the CODIS , not the taking of DNA samples of persons convicted of federal offenses for input into the system . Thus , `` the FBI requested that Congress enact statutory authority to allow the taking of DNA samples from persons committing Federal crimes of violence , robbery , and burglary , or similar crimes in the District of Columbia or while in the military , and authorizing them to be included in CODIS . ''   Accordingly , Congress passed the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 ( `` DNA Act '' ) , 42 U.S.C. § 14135 et seq. , which authorizes the `` Attorney General to make grants to eligible States ... to carry out , for the inclusion in the Combined DNA Index System of the Federal Bureau of Investigation , DNA analyses of samples taken from individuals convicted of a qualifying State offenses . '' 42 U.S.C. § 14135 ( a ) ( 1 ) . Moreover , the DNA Act provides that `` the Director of the Bureau of Prisons shall collect a DNA sample from each individual in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons who is , or has been , convicted of a qualifying Federal offense '' and that `` the probation office responsible for the supervision under Federal law of an individual on probation , parole , or supervised release shall collect a DNA sample from each such individual who is or has been , convicted of a qualifying Federal offense . '' 42 U.S.C. § 15135a ( a ) ( 1 ) - ( 2 ) .   In addition , Congress has mandated the collection of DNA samples from `` each individual in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons who is , or has been convicted of a qualifying District of Columbia offense '' or any `` individual under the supervision of the Agency who is on supervised release , parole , or probation who is , or has been convicted of a qualifying District of Columbia offense . '' 42 U.S.C. § 14135b ( a ) ( 1 ) - ( 2 ) . Congress left to the District of Columbia the responsibility of determining which offenses under the District of Columbia Code should be deemed qualifying offenses . 42 U.S.C. § 14135b ( d ) . The District of Columbia has determined that forty-nine separate offense qualify for collection under the DNA Act . See , D.C. Code § 22-4151 ( 1 ) - ( 46 ) . These qualifying offense include , for example , arson , aggravated assault , burglary , kidnaping , robbery , attempted robbery , and carjacking . Id .   Once a DNA sample is entered into the CODIS database , the information can be released only  ( 1 ) `` to criminal justice agencies for law enforcement identification purposes ; ''  ( 2 ) `` in judicial proceedings ; ''  ( 3 ) `` for criminal defense purposes , to a defendant , who shall have access to samples and analyses performed in connection with the case in which such defendant is charged ; '' or  ( 4 ) `` if personally identifiable information is removed , for a population statistics database , for identification research and protocol development purposes , or for quality control purposes . '' 42 U.S.C. § 14132 ( b ) ( 3 ) . In addition , the DNA Act imposes criminal penalties for individuals who improperly disclose sample results or improperly obtains or uses DNA samples . 42 U.S.C. § 14135e ( c ) .

neg: Joseph Paul Franklin Joseph Paul Franklin ( born James Clayton Vaughn , Jr. ; April 13 , 1950 -- November 20 , 2013 ) was an American serial killer who gained notoriety for numerous murders in the late 1970s and early 1980s . His killing spree was the subject of a fictional novel entitled Hunter by white supremacist William Luther Pierce . Pierce said of Franklin that `` he saw his duty as a white man and did what a responsible son of his race must do . ''   He was convicted of several murders , and received six life sentences , as well as the death sentence . He confessed to the attempted murders of two prominent men : the magazine publisher Larry Flynt in 1978 and Vernon Jordan , Jr. , the civil rights activist , in 1980 . Both survived their injuries , but Flynt was left permanently paralyzed from the waist down . Franklin was not convicted in either of those cases . Because Franklin repeatedly changed his accounts of some crimes , and was not charged in some cases in which he was suspected , officials can not determine the full extent of his crimes . His claims of racial motivation were offset by a defense expert witness who testified in 1997 that Franklin was a paranoid schizophrenic who was not fit to stand trial .   Franklin was on death row for 15 years awaiting execution in the state of Missouri for the 1977 murder of Gerald Gordon . He was executed by lethal injection on November 20 , 2013 .

The day before , he had already killed a prostitute and her pimp , wounded two teenagers , and robbed a convenience store .   The shooting at the GMAC office was the worst single-day massacre by a lone gunman in Florida history , surpassing the murder of eight machine shop employees in Hialeah by Carl Robert Brown on August 20 , 1982 . It was surpassed on June 12 , 2016 by the murder of 50 people in the massacre at the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando .

Broudy came to national attention when he became the victim of a violent attack in 2002 , which touched off a national discussion of hate crimes , drawing comparisons to the Matthew Shepard case .   On September 1 , 2002 , Broudy and friend Edward Ulett were attacked after embracing outside Broudy 's West Hollywood , California home by three black male assailants , Larry Walker , Torwin Sessions and Vincent Dotson . Broudy was beaten with a baseball bat and left in a coma for 10 days . In response the West Hollywood gay community organized a candlelight vigil .   Upon his regaining consciousness , Broudy 's doctors determined that he had suffered permanent brain damage and was left legally blind . Part of his skull was replaced with a metal plate .   Walker , Sessions and Dotson were initially charged with attempted robbery , assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery . Republican Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley declined to press hate crime charges , a decision that sparked outrage in the community . West Hollywood City Councilmember Sal Guarriello and his political consultants immediately launched a recall campaign against Cooley to demonstrate their disgust for Cooley 's homophobia . Cooley stated that he believed the motive to be robbery , not bias , a conclusion that Broudy disagreed with . After the preliminary hearing , an additional charge of aggravated mayhem was added for each defendant .   On August 27 , 2003 , Walker pleaded guilty to all charges and a day later Sessions and Dotson did the same . Walker was sentenced to 13 years in prison , Dotson received a seven-year sentence and Sessions was sentenced to 21 years .

neg: Cultural impact of Elvis Presley Since the beginning of his career , Elvis Presley has had an extensive cultural impact . According to Rolling Stone , `` it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop . '' Rolling Stone encyclopedia of Rock and Roll describes Presley as `` an American music giant of the 20th century who single-handedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s . '' His recordings , dance moves , attitude and clothing came to be seen as embodiments of rock and roll . His music was heavily influenced by African-American blues , Christian gospel , and Southern country . In a list of the greatest English language singers , as compiled by Q Magazine , Presley was ranked first , and second in the list of greatest singers of 20th century by BBC Radio .   Presley sang both hard driving rockabilly , rock and roll dance songs and ballads , laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers . African-American performers like Big Joe Turner , Wynonie Harris and Fats Domino came to national prominence after Presley 's acceptance among mass audiences of White American adults . Singers like Jerry Lee Lewis , the Everly Brothers , Chuck Berry , Bo Diddley , Little Richard , Buddy Holly , Johnny Cash , Roy Orbison and others immediately followed in his wake . John Lennon later observed , `` Before Elvis , there was nothing . ''   During the post-WWII economic boom of the 1950s , many parents were able to give their teenage children much higher weekly allowances , signaling a shift in the buying power and purchasing habits of American teens . During the 1940s bobby soxers had idolized Frank Sinatra , but the buyers of his records were mostly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two . Presley triggered a lot of demand for his records by near-teens and early teens aged ten and up . Along with Presley 's `` ducktail '' haircut , the demand for black slacks and loose , open-necked shirts resulted in new lines of clothing for teenage boys whereas a girl might get a pink portable 45 rpm record player for her bedroom . Meanwhile , American teenagers began buying newly available portable transistor radios and listened to rock 'n' roll on them ( helping to propel that fledgling industry from an estimated 100,000 units sold in 1955 to 5,000,000 units by the end of 1958 ) . Teens were asserting more independence and Presley became a national symbol of their parents ' consternation .   Presley 's impact on the American youth consumer market was noted on the front page of The Wall Street Journal on December 31 , 1956 when business journalist Louis M. Kohlmeier wrote , `` Elvis Presley today is a business , '' and reported on the singer 's record and merchandise sales . Half a century later , historian Ian Brailsford ( University of Auckland , New Zealand ) commented , `` The phenomenal success of Elvis Presley in 1956 convinced many doubters of the financial opportunities existing in the youth market .

neg: Edwin Lewis Edwin Lewis ( 1881 -- 1959 ) was an American Methodist theologian primarily associated with Drew University in New Jersey .   Born in Great Britain , Lewis traveled to Canada as a missionary before continuing his education in the United States . He eventually became a professor of theology at Drew .   Lewis ' early work demonstrates the influence of Boston personalism , a school of Protestant liberal theology widespread among Methodists during the first half of the 20th century , and British idealism . His book Jesus Christ and the Human Quest is an example of his early perspective . In the book , Lewis argues that the Christian faith has its foundation in the nature of persons and personhood .   In 1929 he was named editor of the Abingdon Bible Commentary . While preparing the massive reference work , Lewis claimed to have `` rediscovered the Bible '' for himself . He reacted strongly to the 1931 Laymen 's Missionary Report , which he believed hampered the Christian missionary effort ,  in his article `` The Re-thought Theology of the Re-thinking of Missions '' which appeared in the Christian Century .   Growing more suspicious of the subjective theological liberalism of the day , he published A Christian Manifesto in 1934 . In the book , Lewis railed against liberal theology ( which he referred to as modernism ) , reasserting classical Christian themes such as the transcendence of God , the sinfulness of humankind , the divinity of Christ , and the objective work of the atonement .   Lewis wrote : `` No statement of Christian belief which does not include a supernatural reference ... is a true statement . `` 1   He followed A Christian Manifesto with A Philosophy of Christian Revelation and The Creator and the Adversary , both of which continued his reclamation of Christian orthodoxy from an Arminian perspective . Lewis argued that God triumphs over evil by outsuffering and outloving his adversary .2   Lewis ' work proved influential to an entire generation of Methodist theologians , notably Carl Michalson and Albert C. Outler .

query: Wyatt Earp was a person.

pos: Wyatt Earp Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp ( March 19 , 1848 -- January 13 , 1929 ) was an American Old West gambler , a deputy sheriff in Pima County , and deputy town marshal in Tombstone , Arizona Territory , who took part in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral , during which lawmen killed three outlaw cowboys . He is often regarded as the central figure in the shootout in Tombstone , although his brother Virgil was Tombstone city marshal and Deputy U.S. Marshal that day , and had far more experience as a sheriff , constable , marshal , and soldier in combat .   Earp lived a restless life . He was at different times a constable , city policeman , county sheriff , Deputy U.S. Marshal , teamster , buffalo hunter , bouncer , saloon-keeper , gambler , brothel keeper , miner , and boxing referee . Earp spent his early life in Iowa . In 1870 , Earp married his first wife , Urilla Sutherland Earp , who contracted typhoid fever and died shortly before their first child was to be born . During the next two years Earp was arrested for stealing a horse , escaped from jail , sued twice , and was arrested and fined three times during the course of 1872 for `` keeping and being found in a house of ill-fame '' . His third arrest was subject of a lengthy account in the `` Daily Transcript '' which referred to him as an `` old offender '' and nicknamed him the `` Peoria Bummer '' .   By 1874 he had arrived in the cattle boomtown of Wichita , Kansas where his brother had opened a brothel . On April 21 , 1875 he was appointed to the Wichita police force , and developed a solid reputation as a lawman . In April 1876 he was dismissed from his position as a lawman following an altercation with a political opponent of his boss which led to him being fined $ 30 . In 1876 , he followed his brother James to Dodge City , Kansas , where he became an assistant city marshal . In winter 1878 , he went to Texas to track down an outlaw and met John `` Doc '' Holliday , whom Earp later credited with saving his life .   Earp moved constantly throughout his life from one boomtown to another . He left Dodge City in 1879 and moved to Tombstone with his brothers James and Virgil , where a silver boom was underway . There , the Earps clashed with a loose federation of outlaws known as the Cowboys . Wyatt , Virgil , and their younger brother Morgan held various law enforcement positions that put them in conflict with Tom and Frank McLaury , and Ike and Billy Clanton , who threatened on several occasions to kill the Earps . The conflict escalated over the next year , culminating on October 26 , 1881 in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral , in which the Earps and Holliday killed three of the Cowboys . In the next five months , Virgil was ambushed and maimed , and Morgan was assassinated . Pursuing a vendetta , Wyatt , his brother Warren , Holliday , and others formed a federal posse that killed three of the Cowboys whom they thought responsible . Wyatt was never wounded in any of the gunfights in which he took part , unlike his brothers Virgil and James , or his friend , Doc Holliday , which only added to his mystique after his death .   Earp was a lifelong gambler and was always looking for a quick way to make money . After leaving Tombstone , Earp went to San Francisco where he reunited with Josephine Earp . She became his common-law wife . They joined a gold rush to Eagle City , Idaho , where they owned mining interests and a saloon . They left there to race horses and open a saloon during a real estate boom in San Diego , California . Back in San Francisco , Wyatt raced horses again , but his reputation suffered irreparably when he refereed the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey boxing match and called a foul that led many to believe that he fixed the fight . They moved briefly to Yuma , Arizona before joining the Nome Gold Rush in 1899 . In partnership with Charlie Hoxie they opened a two-story saloon called the Dexter and made an estimated $ 80,000 ( about $ 2 million in 2017 dollars ) . Returning to the lower 48 , they opened another saloon in Tonopah , Nevada , the site of a new gold find . In about 1911 , Earp began working several mining claims in Vidal , California , retiring in the hot summers with Josephine to Los Angeles .   Wyatt Earp died on January 13 , 1929 . He was known as a Western lawman , gunfighter , and boxing referee . He had a notorious reputation for both his handling of the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight and his role in the O.K. Corral gunfight . This only began to change after his death when an extremely flattering biography was published in 1931 . It became a bestseller and created his reputation as a fearless lawman . Since then , Earp has been the subject of and model for numerous films , TV shows , biographies , and works of fiction that have increased his notoriety . He did , however , live to see himself being portrayed in the film Wild Bill Hickok , released in 1923 . Long after his death , he has many devoted detractors and admirers . Earp 's modern-day reputation is that of the Old West 's `` toughest and deadliest gunman of his day . ''

neg: The United States of Lyncherdom `` The United States of Lyncherdom '' is an essay by Mark Twain written in 1901 . He was prompted to write it after the lynchings of Will Godley , his grandfather French Godley , and Eugene Carter ( also known as Barrett ) . They were accused in the rape and murder of Gazelle Wild ( or Casselle Wilds ) on August 19 , 1901 , in Pierce City , Missouri , located in Twain 's home state . The work blames lynching in the United States on the herd mentality that prevails among Americans . Twain decided that the country was not ready for the essay , and shelved it . A redacted version was finally published in 1923 , when Twain 's literary executor , Albert Bigelow Paine , slipped it into a posthumous collection , Europe and Elsewhere .   Twain mentions two law enforcement officials who had recently stopped lynchings . One was Sheriff Joseph Merrill of Carroll County , Georgia , and the other was Thomas Beloat of Gibson County , Indiana .

neg: Frank Dalton Frank Dalton ( June 8 , 1859 -- November 27 , 1887 ) was a Deputy US Marshal of the Old West under Judge Isaac Parker ( the hangin ' judge ) , for Oklahoma Territory , as well as the older brother to the members of the Dalton Gang , in addition to being the brother to William M. Dalton , once a member of California legislature , and later an outlaw and leader of the Doolin Dalton gang alongside Bill Doolin . Frank Dalton is not to be confused with J. Frank Dalton , who made many claims to be famous people , including his claim of being Frank Dalton , and later Jesse James .   Dalton became , without much effort , the success story of the Dalton family . He was commissioned as a Deputy US Marshal , serving under Judge Parker , and quickly developed a reputation as being a brave lawman . Based out of Fort Smith , Arkansas , Dalton was involved in a number of shootouts and high risk arrests over a three-year period . However , on November 27 , 1887 , he and Deputy J.R. Cole were on the trail of outlaw Dave Smith , wanted for horse theft . As they approached Smith 's camp , Smith fired a shot from a rifle , hitting Dalton in the chest . Deputy Cole returned fire , killing Smith , but was then shot and wounded by a Smith cohort . Cole was able to make his escape , however , believing Dalton was dead . Dalton , however , was still alive , and engaged the outlaws in a short gunbattle . One of Smith 's cohorts was wounded , and a woman who was in the camp was killed during the crossfire . Frank Dalton was dead by the time Deputy Cole returned with a posse , having been killed with two additional rifle shots by outlaw Will Towerly . The outlaw wounded by Dalton never revealed his own name . He died shortly thereafter , but not before naming Towerly as Frank Dalton 's murderer . A newspaper of the time indicated Dalton had begged Towerly not to kill him , saying he was already dying . However that was a rumour , and there were no witnesses to the crime who ever made that statement . Towerly was killed one month later by Deputy William Moody and Deputy US Marshal Ed Stokley . Stokley was also killed during the gunfight . Dalton was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville , Kansas , not far from the graves of his two outlaw brothers , Grat and Bob . ( One can see the graves of Bob , and Grat just to the left of Frank 's grave about 30 yards back with the original hitching post that they tied their horses to )   The actor Robert Lansing played Frank Dalton in the NBC television series The Outlaws in a two-part episode `` The Daltons Must Die '' , which aired early in 1961 .

In December 1879 , he was working in Tombstone , Arizona and recommended that Wyatt Earp be hired as a guard and messenger for the stage line . The two quickly became good friends and Dodge supported Wyatt and his brothers in their troubles in Tombstone that led up to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and afterward . He and Wyatt remained friends the rest of their lives .

neg: Cultural impact of Elvis Presley Since the beginning of his career , Elvis Presley has had an extensive cultural impact . According to Rolling Stone , `` it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop . '' Rolling Stone encyclopedia of Rock and Roll describes Presley as `` an American music giant of the 20th century who single-handedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s . '' His recordings , dance moves , attitude and clothing came to be seen as embodiments of rock and roll . His music was heavily influenced by African-American blues , Christian gospel , and Southern country . In a list of the greatest English language singers , as compiled by Q Magazine , Presley was ranked first , and second in the list of greatest singers of 20th century by BBC Radio .   Presley sang both hard driving rockabilly , rock and roll dance songs and ballads , laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers . African-American performers like Big Joe Turner , Wynonie Harris and Fats Domino came to national prominence after Presley 's acceptance among mass audiences of White American adults . Singers like Jerry Lee Lewis , the Everly Brothers , Chuck Berry , Bo Diddley , Little Richard , Buddy Holly , Johnny Cash , Roy Orbison and others immediately followed in his wake . John Lennon later observed , `` Before Elvis , there was nothing . ''   During the post-WWII economic boom of the 1950s , many parents were able to give their teenage children much higher weekly allowances , signaling a shift in the buying power and purchasing habits of American teens . During the 1940s bobby soxers had idolized Frank Sinatra , but the buyers of his records were mostly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two . Presley triggered a lot of demand for his records by near-teens and early teens aged ten and up . Along with Presley 's `` ducktail '' haircut , the demand for black slacks and loose , open-necked shirts resulted in new lines of clothing for teenage boys whereas a girl might get a pink portable 45 rpm record player for her bedroom . Meanwhile , American teenagers began buying newly available portable transistor radios and listened to rock 'n' roll on them ( helping to propel that fledgling industry from an estimated 100,000 units sold in 1955 to 5,000,000 units by the end of 1958 ) . Teens were asserting more independence and Presley became a national symbol of their parents ' consternation .   Presley 's impact on the American youth consumer market was noted on the front page of The Wall Street Journal on December 31 , 1956 when business journalist Louis M. Kohlmeier wrote , `` Elvis Presley today is a business , '' and reported on the singer 's record and merchandise sales . Half a century later , historian Ian Brailsford ( University of Auckland , New Zealand ) commented , `` The phenomenal success of Elvis Presley in 1956 convinced many doubters of the financial opportunities existing in the youth market .

Watie -- was a leader of the Cherokee Nation , and not only a brigadier general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War , but the only Native American general of the Confederate Army . He commanded the Confederate Indian cavalry of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi , made up mostly of Cherokee , Muskogee and Seminole , and was the final Confederate general in the field to cease hostilities at war 's end .   Prior to removal of the Cherokee to Indian Territory in the late 1830s , Watie and his older brother Elias Boudinot were among leaders who signed the Treaty of New Echota in 1835 . The majority of the tribe opposed their action . In 1839 the brothers were attacked in an assassination attempt , as were other relatives active in the Treaty Party . All but Stand Watie were killed . Watie in 1842 killed one of his uncle 's attackers , and in 1845 his brother Thomas Watie was killed in retaliation , in the continuing cycle of violence . Watie was acquitted at trial in the 1850s on the grounds of self-defense .   During the American Civil War and soon after , Watie served as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation ( 1862 -- 1866 ) . By then , the majority of the tribe supported the Confederacy . A minority supported the Union and refused to ratify his election . The former chief John Ross , a Union supporter , was captured in 1862 by Union forces . Watie led the Southern Cherokee delegation to Washington after the war to sue for peace , hoping to have tribal divisions recognized . The US government negotiated only with the leaders who had sided with the Union , and named John Ross as principal chief in 1866 under a new treaty . Watie stayed out of politics for his last years , and tried to rebuild his plantation .

Although Murrow is best remembered as a reporter on programs such as Hear It Now and See It Now and for publicly confronting Senator Joseph McCarthy , on Person to Person he was a pioneer of the celebrity interview .   The program was well planned but not strictly scripted , with as many as six cameras and TV lighting installed to cover the guest 's moves through his home , and a microwave link to transmit the signals back to the network . The guests wore wireless microphones to pick up their voices as they moved around the home or its grounds . The interviews were done live . The two 15-minute interviews in each program were typically with very different types of people , such as a movie star and a scientist . Guests often used the appearance to promote their latest project or book .

neg: Frontier gambler The Frontier Gambler is one of the most recognizable stock characters of the American West , usually portrayed as a gentlemanly southerner living outside of the law . Historically , gamblers were of both sexes , came from a variety of professions and class backgrounds , were of many different nationalities , and were part of a well-respected profession . As the west became increasingly populated and domesticated , the public perception of gambling changed to a negative one and led nearly all of the state and territorial legislatures to pass anti-gambling laws in and effort to `` clean up '' their towns . The gambler continues to be a captivating figure in the imagery of the west , representing the openness of its society and invoking its association with risk-taking .

neg: Frank Loving Frank Loving , sometimes called `` Cockeyed '' Frank Loving ( 1860 -- April 21 , 1882 ) was an Old West gambler and gunman .

neg: In Search of Amelia Earhart In Search of Amelia Earhart is the 1972 album by Plainsong , a band formed by country rock/folk rock musician Ian Matthews and Andy Roberts .   Ian Matthews played in four different incarnations within three years . He had left Fairport Convention for his own band , Matthews ' Southern Comfort , put out two solo LPs for Vertigo Records , and then started the band Plainsong .   It is probably fair to say that In Search of Amelia Earhart is the pinnacle of Matthews ' work in the 1970s . Working with producer Sandy Roberton ( Hard Meat , Steeleye Span , Shirley Collins ) , Ian and bandmates , notably Andy Roberts who shared vocals on the album , created an atypical British folk album conceived around the idea of the legends surrounding Amelia Earhart and her supposed demise .   Matthews had read a book by Fred Goerner hypothesizing that Earhart and her flying companion Frederick Noonan had crashed around the Japanese held Marshall Island area and been taken prisoner by the Japanese on Saipan , in the Marianas , in 1937 . Their plane had supposedly been outfitted with aerial cameras and had a bigger fuel tank than anyone outside of the US government knew . After being grilled by Japanese interrogators Earhart would perish of dysentery , and Noonan was beheaded by the Japanese .   Not all of the songs on the album are directly about Amelia Earhart . But the album carries that somber , mellow tone that so much great folk music of the early '70s was in touch with . Many of the songs are about seeing and reaching for light , whether they be the light of day or the light of death . So in a way the album is more about the way people felt about , cared about and thought about Amelia Earhart and her death . That she is still considered a heroine of aviation and a distinctly American hero keeps the mystery of what happened to her in the greater cultural imagination .

neg: National Missing and Unidentified Persons System National Missing and Unidentified Persons System , abbreviated as NamUs , is a clearing house for missing persons and unidentified decedent records in the United States , a part of the Department of Justice . NamUs also provides free DNA testing and other forensic services , such as anthropology and odontology assistance .   In 2005 , the National Institute of Justice assembled for a national strategy meeting regarding missing persons in the United States ; they called the meeting `` Identifying the Missing Summit . '' Forensic scientists , policymakers , victim advocates and law enforcement officials discussed the challenges and strategies for solving missing person cases and identifying unidentified decedent cases . From there the Deputy Attorney General created a task force , The National Missing Persons Task Force , and encouraged the U.S Department of Justice to find prominent tools that will help solve these cases . NamUs was created , subsequently .   The NamUs database was created in three phases ; in Phase III , released in 2009 , the system became fully searchable and open to the public .   Through NamUs , users will have access to three databases : Unidentified Persons database , Missing Persons database and an UnClaimed Persons database .   In the database users can search by state , date last seen , circumstances , physical/medical characteristics , clothing and accessories , sex , ethnicity , race and more , in order to locate or search for a potential match or personal profile . Each missing person and unidentified person have their own four digit code number . If a potential match is found , users can notify and submit the potential match to case managers , local law enforcement agencies or NamUs regional administrators . If a potential match has been ruled out it will appear on the unidentified person 's profile , under the section `` exclusions . ''   The issue of unidentified remains in the United States has been coined `` the Nation 's Silent Mass Disaster . '' There are approximately 40,000 unidentified human remains that have been buried or cremated before being identified . Furthering the problem of identification , in 2004 , less than half of the nation 's medical examiner 's offices had policies for retaining DNA , x-rays , or fingerprints of unidentified persons . Another issue that has left remains unidentified has been the reporting of missing persons . Those who go missing over the 18 are not required to be reported - reporting them is voluntary . Consequently , there has been a low rate of reported adult cases through NCIC ( the National Crime Information Center ) . Ultimately NamUs is working together with the public and national level databases to incorporate the records of missing persons and meet the challenges of non-reporting .   Currently , there have been 16,080 missing person cases on file through NamUs . , 60.46 % , or 9,723 of them remain open and unsolved . Of the closed cases , 665 , or 10.46 % , have been closed through the aid of the NamUs database .   Furthermore , there have been 10,714 unidentified persons cases on filed through NamUs . , 88.66 % , or 9,500 , remain open and unidentified . Of the closed cases , 285 , or 23.495 , have been closed through the aid of the NamUs database .

neg: Anglo-Americans Anglo-Americans or Anglos are people who are inhabitants of Anglo-America and are referred to as English Americans and/or an English Canadians . It typically refers to an English-speaking American in distinction to Spanish speakers in the Southwestern states and in Mexico ; German speakers ( Amish ) in North Dakota , Ohio , and Pennsylvania ; and French speakers in Canada , New England and Louisiana . This usage originated in the discussion of the history of English-speaking people of the United States and the Spanish-speaking people residing in the western United States during the Mexican -- American War .

neg: Cochise County in the Old West Cochise County in the Old West was the site of ongoing Apache Indian attacks and a bitter feud between outlaw Cowboys and lawmen like Virgil Earp and his brothers . The county was carved off in 1881 from the easternmost portion of Pima County during a formative period in the American Southwest . Tensions began as soon as American settlers began arriving in what is now Cochise County . The time period was characterized by rapidly growing boomtowns , ongoing Apache raids , smuggling and cattle rustling across the United States-Mexico border , growing ranching operations , and the expansion of new technologies in mining , railroading , and telecommunications .   In the 1860s , following the Gadsden Purchase and the arrival of American settlers , conflict between the Apaches and the Americans was at its height . Pima County and later Cochise County were located in the center of the Apache wars and until 1886 there was almost constant warfare in that region adjacent to the Mexican border .   In addition to the conflict with the Native Americans , during the 1870s and 1880s , there was considerable tension between the rural residents who were for the most part Democrats from the agrarian Confederate States and town residents and business owners who were largely Republicans from the industrial Union States . The tension culminated in what has been called the Cochise County feud , or the Earp-Clanton feud , which ended with the historic Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Wyatt Earp 's Vendetta Ride . Dr. George E. Goodfellow described Tombstone , the capital of Cochise County , as the `` condensation of wickedness . ''

neg: FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives by year, 1958 In 1958 , the United States FBI , under Director J. Edgar Hoover , continued for a ninth year to maintain a public list of the people it regarded as the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives .   As 1958 opened , the FBI had gone for a full ten months through the end of the prior year without being able to add a single fugitive to the top Ten list . The reason for the paucity of new fugitives is that by March of the prior year , the list of Ten Fugitives had become entirely populated by the most difficult captures , all ten of whom still remained at large , up through the first three months of 1958 :   1950 # 4 ( eight years ) , Henry Randolph Mitchell , process was dismissed July 18 , 1958  1950 # 14 ( eight years ) , Frederick J. Tenuto , remained still at large  1952 # 36 ( six years ) , James Eddie Diggs , remained still at large  1954 # 78 ( four years ) , David Daniel Keegan , remained still at large  1955 # 83 ( three years ) , Flenoy Payne , arrested March 11 , 1958  1955 # 87 ( three years ) , Daniel William O'Connor , apprehended December 26 , 1958  1956 # 97 ( two years ) , Eugene Francis Newman , remained still at large  1956 # 98 ( two years ) , Carmine DiBiase , surrendered August 28 , 1958  1957 # 99 ( one year ) , Ben Golden McCollum , arrested March 7 , 1958  1957 # 102 ( one year ) , George Edward Cole , remained still at large   But that situation was soon to change , as the FBI began one of its most productive years ever in 1958 , in terms of removing long-timers from the top Ten list . In all , a full half of the list , five long-time Fugitives , were removed from the list during 1958 .   Also notable in 1958 , the longest wanted Fugitive , Henry Randolph Mitchell , # 4 from the original list of Ten published in 1950 , after eight years at large , became the first Top Tenner to ever be removed for reason other than capture or death . Mitchell became one of a series of longstanding top Ten Fugitives whose time on the list simply outlived their initial criteria for having been listed . In the case of Mitchell , his charges were finally dropped by a court in 1958 , and so the FBI also dropped him from the top Ten list with the justification that his `` process was dismissed . '' In many of the subsequent such removals , a top Ten Fugitive remained a fugitive from justice , yet was simply removed from the FBI top Ten list when the FBI determined that the original criteria were no longer being met for the top Ten listing .   With the removal of so many long-time top ten fugitives in 1958 , the FBI once again began a series of turnover of many new Fugitives , adding a full half dozen new names to the list by year end .

neg: Corn silk Corn silk is a common name for the shiny , thread-like , weak fibers that grow as part of ears of corn ( maize ) ; the tuft or tassel of silky fibers that protrude from the tip of the ear of corn . The ear is enclosed in modified leaves called husks . Each individual fiber is an elongated style , attached to an individual ovary . The term probably originated somewhere between 1850 and 1855 .   Corn silk contains a variety of pharmacologically-active compounds , and as such is used in many types of folk medicine , including as a diuretic and as an inhibitor of melanin production .
