Melodi Dushane’s crimes
Early within the morning on New Year’s Day 2010, Melodi Dushane visited a McDonald’s in Toledo, Ohio. The McNuggets she ordered weren’t available because it was breakfast hours. Dushane tried to convince the employees to give her McDonald’s McNuggets, but then attacked them. Melodi Dushane is shown punching and slapping two workers, then breaking the glass of the drive-through window.
Melodi Dushane sentenced to two months
Eventually, Melodi Dushane was changed with both vandalism and assault in connection with the attack. She originally pleaded not guilty to 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 entirely drunk at the time of the attack. In the end, Dushane’s drunken rampage could very well cost her thousands of dollars.
The debate over making evidence public
There is a strong debate going on in some legal circles about the struggle between the public’s right to know and 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. The right of the public to know information about their community is usually weighted above individual privacy, even when time has been served for their crimes.What do you think – how should the two competing things be weighed?
