Westminster College honors student Lily Hefner presented a research paper, “Using Low-Activity MAOA as a Mitigating Factor in the United States Criminal Justice System,” at the 58th annual conference of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) in Chicago in November.
A junior molecular biology and criminal justice studies double major from Washington, Pa., Hefner’s paper was a product of work completed for her interdisciplinary Honors Program research project.
Hefner’s research examines the role a particular gene can play in the likelihood of someone committing a crime. She evaluates how an unstable or abusive environment during adolescence combined with this genetic predisposition may be more likely to cause certain behaviors.
“Attending NCHC was a great learning experience. I feel much more confident in my own knowledge and my ability to share my thoughts in a clear and polished way. I think this was an important first step into larger acad
They haven t published the need for the switch. this is donald trump s fourth indictment, but tonight is clearly different than the other three that you see on your screen. instead of the court sketches or brief photographers we have been seeing in other cases, we are in a much more open and transparent system in georgia. indeed, if it goes by normal course, trump s future georgia court appearances would be televised in contrast to the feds. the other story this hour and going into the evening as rachel maddow and the whole team comes in at 7:00 p.m. eastern is how that booking unfolds tonight, whether we get a mug shot, and whether donald trump as a defendant does or says anything as he goes in and out of that jailhouse in an environment that in one sense is familiar. if you re watching this, you re saying, we ve done this before recently. this will be the fourth booking for the fourth indictment. you see officers, live shots. officers pulling up as they keep that area secure.
State of georgia s legislatei branch and the federal branch in congress. it is some kind of unholy trifecta which really is contrasted with what you heard there. defendant giuliani has every right to maintain innocence, fight the case, criticize the prosecutors in the system. he certainly has the free speech rights to do that, and legally he can have his lawyers make those arguments in court. i want to note the brazen double standards he seems to expect. mr. giuliani acting like the process itself and him being a part of it as a defendant right now, is an indignity, is a scandal. he is saying he is above the law and booking process we re subjected to that he subjected people to so many times. that echoes the umbrage of another coup member, peter navarro, who seemed not to be
Acting but really expressing himself about how he was treated by the united states criminal justice system. prosecutors are defending an american citizen, that this is an assault on our constitution. they put me in handcuffs, bring me here, put me in in a cell. they are violating the constitution. being treated, through all evidence we have, with not only professionalism, but with great patience and care. documented other stories, other cases where people accused of less have been treated far more harshly as maya wiley also referred to tonight. now, for larger historical accuracy, nothing about what they re saying is brand new or unique to them. this is not the first time
Jail like mr. criminals. they required me to put up $50,000 jail like i m going to run away. president trump has to put up $200,000. just think of how that s just done just to public relations. just a couple points on that. you can hear even as he s trying to absorb or process this, apparent, indulgent, privileged bs shock that they would do this to him or donald trump. soefr speech art law and order, equal justice under the law is, unfortunately for mr. giuliani, somewhat shredded by his admission, which i would argue is a bad one for him that he didn t think this system was for him. it was for somebody else. they and them.
