The attack by Melodi Dushane on New Year’s Day
Within the very early morning of January 1, 2010, Melodi Dushane went through a McDonald’s drive-through to order Chicken McNuggets. The McNuggets she ordered weren’t accessible because it was breakfast hours. Dushane tried to convince the employees to give her McDonald’s McNuggets, but then attacked them. After punching and slapping the workers, Dushane throws something through the window and breaks the glass.
Melodi Dushane’s sentencing
The attack ended up with Melodi Dushane being charged with both assault and vandalism. Originally, Dushane pled not guilty to all the charges. Dushane had to pay for the broken window, and had to spend two months in jail. Melodi Dushane also admitted that she was drunk at the time she attacked the McDonald’s. The legal costs of the court battle could easily run into the thousands of dollars.
The debate over making evidence public
Some legal experts are wondering if the public’s right to know really outweighs individual rights. It used to be that when evidence related to court cases was made public, people had to actively seek it out. The information that is entered into the public record is now transmitted across the world in moments. While the right to know of the public is typically considered reason enough to release these items, some worry that it might be violating the rights of individuals who have served their time for their crimes.What do you think about this?
