My take on the Bon Vulow Case



When it comes to questioning the US Justice System in the Bon Vulow Case, I firmly believe that, in my opinion, this case was very sticky and had a vast amount of elements that required secondary sources in order for it to be considered a properly well functioned case manufactured by our system.This specific case was very solidified in the beginning as it was evident that there was enough proof to determine the finalization of the conviction. The entire case was solely based on the story behind Sunny Bon Vulow's husband, Klaus Von Buler’s attempt at potential murder in return for inhereting his wife’s million dollars worth of wealth and riches. Sunny’s children used tactics that consisted of using professional medical doctors and lawyers in order to find enough evidence of this conviction and put their stepfather behind bars. When Klaus was found guilty, he found the potentiality of truly showing his innocence, despite all of the crystal clear evidence that was gathered as the case developed. In the end, Klaus used the power of his wealth to interfere with the interaction of how the court case was played. I believe that because Klaus had already had such a great deal of money, he was able to get away from his original conviction and deeply found a way to make his “innocence” confirmed. In addition, might I not forget to add the fact that after Klaus found unreputable methods to prove himself innocent, this case no longer only focused on whether or not Klaus was guilty or not, however it was an argument between whether or not the justice system was accurate or not. In my heart, MORALLY, I refuse to believe that Klaus was not guilty. Sure, we may tend to believe the children’s side of it because, yes, when we think of young children we tend to associate them with innocence, which i'm not going to lie, most likely has some potential contribution to the case, however, I would like to use some prior knowledge from other classes, such as AP Psychology which has allowed for me to learn a bit more on the power of memory and whether or younger individuals are reliable sources. Using the material that we have revised in the class as a primary source to justify my opinion, it has actually been proven that younger individuals/children are less likely to seek dishonesty when it comes to being questioned by higher authorative figures when it comes to affirmative law based situations. I believe that Klaus’ stepchildren did not have any intent of setting him up nor do I think that they have to go through deep and profound matters when it came to pressing charges against their step-father for what, they believe, was attempted murder. There was so much solid and confided evidence that thoroughly dictated Klaus’ conviction in the first place. MOST importantly, I believe that if Klaus were to have been of less wealth, he definitely would have been put behind bars. There would not have been any extra help of high class lawyers and representatives to justify his “innocence” if he did not have the money to hire them in the first place. Now, do I believe that our Justice System failed to function properly? Yes. I certainly do. However, not in the context that you would think it would be under, rather, in the aspect of them agreeing to hold Klaus accountable of not being guilty. In any different context, I actually think they did fine and are not to be given judgement for since, again, the fact that Klaus found his superior way in any way, shape, or form to prove himself the opposite.
