| From
the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman
to the stalking and murder of 16 year old Laurie Show, the judicial
system has failed on more than one occasion. Granted, we've
all heard the old saying that the judicial system isn't perfect,
but for the most part it works ..... wrong! Read the following
stories of judicial nightmares and see if you agree. |

Justice for Carla
Written by Jill Maloy
Justice Junction was contacted in 2005 by one of the two detectives who still work tirelessly to see Carla's killer brought to justice. They are responsible for keeping her murder in as much spotlight as they possibly can. We would like to extend our apologies for allowing this case to slide between the cracks for so long. It took four years, but here is Carla's story (in part) as told by Detective John Terrell.

Brandon
Teena - A Life That Should Have Been Lived
Murder and Prejudice In the Heartland of
Nebraska
Written
by Anna M. Griffy Justice
Junction
Senior Staff Author/Editor
When Anna first approached me about this article, she was somewhat hesitant to
write it. Being from Nebraska myself, I urged her to take another look at the
story but from a different angle and she didn't let me down. The story of Brandon
Teena is, sadly to say, a story that happens across our great nation all too
frequently. However, the means in which the sheriff's department (the sheriff
himself I should say) conducted themselves when Brandon went to them for help,
directly led to her death. It reminded me all too much about another police department
in Nebraska who removed a 15 year old girl from her home for deciding to have
an abortion. Anna Griffy has done Brandon justice by shedding new light on a
story that may have faded from public view, but never from the hearts of those
that loved her. |
Teenager
Chooses Abortion - City Officials Choose The Opposite
by Jill
Maloy - Justice Junction Editor In Chief
Justice
Junction is a firm believer in giving life. My personal choice
is pro-life, though everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
When this story came across my desk, I was horrified and shocked
until I realized that this story originates in the town that
I was brought up in, Blair, Nebraska. Growing up in the town
was a nightmare if you weren't accepted, and I wasn't accepted.
But what the town did to this child herself is beyond reprehensible,
it's downright against the law. But what can you do about it
when the police themselves are involved? The ACLU would eventually
step in and initial a lawsuit against several different people
and entities. I wasn't shocked anymore once I learned where this
whole story took place. It was a place that you didn't want to
grow up in. Read how this town managed to destroy a teenagers
life. |
The
Evil Within - The Twisted Minds of Paul Bernardo & Karla

M. Griffy - Justice Junction Author
This
series of articles is very graphic in a sexual nature. The crimes
committed by Paul Bernardo & Karla Homolka are the worst
imaginable. If you are under 18, have a weak stomach, or can
not handle graphic articles, please do not read this article. |
Are
You An Unfit Parent? Perhaps You Are and Don't Realize It!
Do you spank your kids? Perhaps yell at them at times ? Maybe
they don't quite weigh what they're supposed to for their age,
or perhaps they have bruises from falling off their bikes, or
out of tree's as I myself did a time or two in my youth. You
wouldn't think that your children could be taken away from you,
put in foster care and then have your parental rights terminated
would you? Neither did Gary and Amy Strouhal, but that's exactly
what happened to them.

it couldn't be proven at the time. Her sentence? 20 suspended
sentence with no jail time served AT ALL! |
Without
Mercy - Boys Who Tortured Toddler Set Free
For most of us, February 12, 1993 doesn't ring any particular
bells, but for Denise Ferger it was the day that her whole world
fell apart, the day her two year old son was kidnapped, sexually
assaulted and brutally murdered by two ten year old boys Robert
Thompson and Jon Venables. The two killers are now being set
free to roam the streets, free, with new identities to boot!
Where is the justice in that? |
The
Criminal Life of Richard Allen Davis
When Polly Klass was murdered, a heart breaking cry was heard
around the nation. When we learned the man who tortured her,
then killed her was a career criminal, those cries turned to
anger. How was this man allowed to walk free for any length
of time? How was he allowed to slip in and out of the judicial
systems hands? How was it possible that this man, this monster,
was allowed to be free on the night that he kidnapped and murdered
Polly Klaas? Richard Allen Davis' criminal record would begin
in 1967 and continue until he viciously killed Polly Klaas.
Here is Richard Allen Davis' life of crime. |
| Getting
Away With Murder - The O.J. Simpson Trial |
| An
American Tragedy does not even begin to describe the sequence
of events surrounding the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Goldman. In the following pages you will read about Mr.
Orenthal James Simpson, you'll read about his violent temper,
you will read that he regards himself so high that he's above
the law. You will also read about Nicole Brown Simpson, who
she was, the person behind the pictures. I urge you to
take off the race blinders that Jonnie Cochran so easily placed
over your eyes, whether your white or black, Japanese or Mexican,
take off the blinders and view these people as exactly that,
people. |
The
Stalking and Murder of 16 Year Old Laurie Show |
| It
was the summer of 1991 in East Lampeter Township, Penn. Before
the year was over, four teenagers from different circles would
find themselves drawn into a deadly triangle that would end
in the tragic death of 16 year old Laurie Show. Lisa Michelle
Lambert began dating Lawrence "Butch" Yunkin. Soon
the couples fixation with each other would spin horribly out
of control and they began having violent arguments. The destructive
relationship only got worse when the couple began using other
people to make each other jealous. This particular summer, Lawrence
sought out 15 year old Laurie Show. Laurie was a fun loving
and popular 10th grader who everybody loved to be around. The
couple dated twice during a one week relationship. On their
second date, Lawrence raped the innocent 15 year old in the
back of his van, a charge which Yunkin denies.. After the alleged
date rape, Laurie confided her terrible secret in both her parents.
It was after Lisa and Lawrence got back together when Lisa learned
that Lawrence had dated Laurie she nearly went insane with jealousy.
However, it wasn't the dating that had Lisa in an uproar, it
was the idea that Lawrence had slept with another girl, completely
ignoring the fact that it was not consensual. What would follow
would be the most horrendous injustice in this small towns history. |
