A few emotion driven cases that stood out this week during class were the cases of Judy Norman and Jack Ruby. Beginning with the Jack Ruby and Oswald. The emotion that was driving in the case for Jack Ruby was a feeling of disgust. He felt as though Oswald was guilty of killing Kennedy, and that the smirk that he gave proclaimed that. Ruby felt disgusted by the not guilty verdict and took matters into his own hands. He essentially shot and killed Oswald as a response triggered by disgust of Oswald.
The second case is that of Judy Norman who suffered from battered women syndrome. As a means too salvage tge remainer of yer life, she took her child to her parents home and returned to shoot her abusive husband. Through an extreme history of abuse, Norman felt as though it was her life over her husbands's so she needed to fight for it. She shot and killed him as he slept through the emotion of fear. Norman's emotional state was a representation of the dangers that she faced if she didn't take the actions that she did.
