First of all we can not compare Chester, a serial killer, with Joey, who committed a murder without intent, the intention defines the type of crime, and consequently the penalty that it must be met. Joey should not be considered a criminal because he has no criminal mind, and his action was not planned, in addition to having special needs, which places him in a possible state of no criminal responsibility, that will depend on the level and type of disability he possess. According to the laws, parents are not obliged to disclose their children, but there is a responsibility regarding the obstruction of justice, and his father could respond criminally. In this case, you must ask for the acquittal of the penalty for the disability, but at the same time, the clarification of the circumstances to grant justice to those affected.

In this particular episode of Criminal Minds (Season 3, episode 14- "Damaged"), Agent Rossi is intent on solving a 20 year old cold case of a double homicide in which three children found their parents murdered with an axe. We later learn that Joey, a "clown" at a carnival had followed one of the children the day before and wanted to play with her. He went to her house and accidentally entered the parent's room. The father attacked Joey with the axe and Joey got angry and accidentally killed them. His father protected him and cleaned up any evidence at the crime scene.

Also, in the episode, we learn some about serial killer Chester Hardwick who murdered at least 23 woman. He seemed not to care about his victims, but once he decided he was going to murder them, he stated that they "didn't have a chance." He even attempts to attack the FBI agents in the room that were interrogating him for a serial killer profile before he was to be executed on death row. He believed that if he killed them that he wouldn't be executed next week.

Both committed murders and are by definition criminals. That being said, it is not fair to compare Joey and Chester's crimes or categorize them the same. Joey is developmentally disabled and did not plan to commit the murders. He is bigger and stronger than he knows and his reaction to being attacked was to get angry and fight back. This resulted, sadly, in death to both of the parents, in which Joey instantly felt regret. However, Chester's murders were premeditated and he clearly didn't show remorse for his actions.

In terms of the law, however, both did commit crimes. Joey should be accountable for his actions. In a court of law, justice should be served. Simply because the criminal is developmentally disabled, doesn't mean he should walk free. However, the punishment should be less than Chester and be appropriate for his developmental age. Perhaps, a court would send him to an institution instead of prison.

Lastly, Joey's father should also be held accountable for protecting his son. Regardless of the circumstances, he aided a criminal and left three children without an answer to why their parents were murdered. The father should be tried in court and punished as per the law. It is the court's responsibility to punish the criminal, in this case, Joey, not the father's. However in most cases, the father, or any caretaker, should not be punished for the act of the crime itself. It is impossible to monitor and oversee someone's every move.

In 2081, everyone is equal not only in the eyes of the law but in every way; nobody is smarter, more athletic, better looking, etc. than anyone else. hazel is of average intelligence, which means she can't think about anything except in short bursts, and george has an intelligence way above normal.

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
