Comparisons

Question 1

Krajnc & Latimer

Answer 1

• Intentions in both cases were to end the suffering of his daughter and the pigs (the daughter was suffering because of health conditions and the pigs were suffering due to the heat)

Question 2

Krajnc & Vader

Answer 2

• No evidence that Krajnc poisoned the pigs because the “water” was not tested and no substantial evidence was found that Vader murdered the McCanns (no bodies found)

Question 3

Latimer & Millard

Answer 3

• Latimer was given a cruel and unusual sentence because his intentions were out of compassion
• Millard’s sentence was reduced as a result of Bissonnette because 50yrs was seen as cruel and unusual because we only have 1 life

Question 4

Krajnc & Socrates

Answer 4

• Krajnc and Socrates were both charged because their beliefs did not align with the great society
• Socrates was successfully charged while Krajnc was not but I think that is because of the different time periods
