Michael Thomas a 23-year old, 6’3, 209 pound dynamic wide receiver out of Ohio State. Look at any mock draft, any big board, or any prospect rankings and look for Thomas. What do you see? I looked at a combination of over 100 different mock drafts, big boards, and player rankings, and much to my surprise, on average Thomas was rated as the sixth best receiver in the draft.

Caesar Rodney, the first of the delegation from Delaware, was a native of that state, and was born about the year 1730. His birth-place was Dover. The family, from which he was descended, was of ancient date, and is honorably spoken of in the history of early times. We read of Sir Walter De Rodeney, of Sir George De Rodeney, and Sir Henry De Rodeney, with several others of the same name, even earlier than the year 1234. Sir Richard De Rodeney accompanied the gallant Richard Coeur de Lion in his crusade to the Holy Land, where he fell, while fighting at the siege of Acre.

William Morris Stewart was born on August 9, 1825 to Miranda Morris and Frederick Augustus Stewart, on a family farm in Lyons, New York. At a young age his family moved from Lyon, New York to Mesopotamia, Ohio. At age 14, he left home to attend West Farmington Academy in Ohio and Lyons Union School in New York which he earned tuition for by working a common laborer and school teacher. With help from a Lyons attorney that provided a loan to attend Yale University, he only attended three terms from 1849 to 1850. When the gold mining became big he left to Nevada City, California on an adventure to find gold.

The Facts: A judge out of a New York Family court found 12-year old Winship (Defendant) had committed an act of stealing money from a pocketbook in a locker that if it had been committed by an adult it would have been a crime. But due to it being a 12-year old, the judge relying on a preponderance of the evidence, the standard of proof required by the New York Family Court Act, led the way of giving good reason that justified the fact that a young person did the crime that he was charged with. Winship had to dealt with a finding like this had to be based on proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This decision was supported by the New York Court of Appeals and sustained the constitutional, but Winship was granted a review by the United States Supreme Court.

Bass reeves were one of the greatest old west legends. He was born in Paris, Texas in 1837.

United States was a historical turning point in the juvenile justice field. The Kent decision was to only apple to the District of Columbia courts, but the impression it had was too great, causing it to become more extensive. The objectives of the juvenile courts are to provide guidance and rehabilitation for the minor and adequate protection for the public, as opposed to criminal courts obligation of fixing crime and administering punishment. In Kent vs. United States (1966), the US Supreme Court found that a juvenile must be provided the same due process rights as adults. It also allowed juveniles to the right of a formal hearing before having their cases transferred to adult criminal court. This Supreme Court case allowed minors charged with a crime the same assurance as adult offenders. It began a period where juveniles were starting to be treated as citizens. These Kent Considerations also allow the courts to determine eligibility in the Youthful offender Act. The court raised a possible constitutional challenge of parens patriae as the groundwork for juvenile

Noelene Carmel Holmes, who preferred to be called Carmel and Neale Russell Holmes welcomed me, their firstborn on 19th December 1951. They baptised and named me Grant Garsdale Holmes. It wasn’t until an uncle died, who also had the unusual middle name of Garsdale, that I learned where it came from. Three generations ago an uncle had been lost at sea between Australia and New Zealand. From that incident, a family tradition began; the eldest boy on the paternal side of each generation would carry the moniker, Garsdale

Morris A. Kent was a young teenager who had been in and out of trouble in the District of Columbia during the late 50’s and early 60’s. Kent had stayed in the juvenile court system on probation all the way up until 1961. When at the age of sixteen he was charged with several charges and was waivered into the adult system and later found guilty. Although, Kent appealed his case and his appeal went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court (Find Law, 2014).

I am interested in the Morrissy Honors Program because I am seeking to join a community that values the pursuit of academic excellence and takes the call to global citizenship seriously.

In 1961, 16-year-old Morris Kent was charged with rape and robbery when he was on probation. Kent was sentenced to 30-90 in prison after being found guilty in a criminal court. The judge had waived jurisdiction without a hearing, therefore, the waiver was found invalid.

Kent held that juveniles were entitled to a hearing, representation by counsel, access to information upon which the waiver decision was based, and a statement of reasons justifying the waiver decision. It included the sophistication and maturity of the juvenile as determined by consideration of his or her home life, environmental situation, emotional attitude, and pattern of living. These rights we made so that the justice courts can provide guidance and rehabilitation for the juvenile also with protection for society. There are some juveniles out there who are extremely dangerous and do not wish to change the way they are living their life.

In 1785, he had finally settled on his plantation with his wife and kids, where he looked forward to a future of much happiness and contentment.

There is a reason we have different judicial system for juveniles compared to adult judicial systems. The adolescent mind is still developing into young adulthood which is critical to adolescent decision making. Experts have proven that the adolescent mind compared to a mature adult mind set is completely different. Adolescents are not as mature in their decision making; they are risk takers, impulsive, vulnerable, and peer orientated. Justice Kennedy goes on to explain that due to "evolving standards of decency" since the ruling in Stanford v. Kentucky (1989), the Court has grounds to rule against the juvenile death penalty. In regards to the Stanford ruling, juveniles under the age of 15 could not be executed due to "views that have been
