Crime Docudramas
In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority. The term ''crime'' does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition,Farmer, Lindsay: "Crime, definitions of", in Cane and Conoghan (editors), '' The New Oxford Companion to Law'', Oxford University Press, 2008 (), p. 263Google Books). though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes. The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society, or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law. The notion that acts such as murder, rape, and theft are to be prohibited exists worldwide. What precisely is a criminal offence is defined by the criminal law of each r ...

Years earlier, in 1974, he and his wife murdered their two-month-old daughter in Texas, a crime for which he had only served ten years of a seventy-year sentence. Early crimes In 1974, a Texas jury convicted Suff and his then-wife, Teryl, of beating their two-month-old daughter to death.

Teryl claimed that Suff was physically abusive to her during their marriage. Though Suff was sentenced to 70 years in a Texas p ...
