He graduated with a B. A. in English in 1981, taking six years to finish his degree, according to Nina Easton, Abramoff gained much of his credibility in the conservative movement through his father, Franklin Abramoff. As president of Diners Club International, Abramoffs father worked closely with Alfred S. Bloomingdale, after graduating from Brandeis, Abramoff ran for election as chairman of the College Republican National Committee. After a campaign which cost over $11,000 and was managed by Grover Norquist, Abramoff won the election after the chief competitor, Abramoff changed the direction of the committee and made it more activist and conservative than ever before, notes the CRNC.

Akbar was the first soldier since the Vietnam War to be convicted for fragging fellow soldiers overseas during wartime and he continues to be confined at the United States Disciplinary Barracks awaiting disposition of his sentence. Akbar was born Mark Fidel Kools on April 21,1971 and his father, John Kools, converted to Islam while in prison on a gang-related charge, and changed his surname to Akbar before his release in 1974. Akbars mother later converted to Islam before marrying William M. Bilal and she took the name Quran Bilal. She changed her sons name to Hasan Karim Akbar, to reflect his fathers surname and he was raised from a young age as a Muslim. In 1988, Akbar was admitted to the University of California and he graduated nine years later in 1997 with Bachelors degrees in both Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering.

By March 2003, elements of the division were staging at Camp Pennsylvania, in the early morning hours of March 23,2003, Akbar turned off a power generator which was operating lights in the area where the attack occurred.

The jury was composed of thirteen men and two women, although Akbar confessed to the crimes, his lawyers claimed during the 2005 trial that he had a history of mental illness which was known to the military. Background accounts of Akbars life suggested previous difficulties in adjusting to university and his father John Akbar was reported by the Associated Press as saying that his son had told him of complaining to superiors about religious and racial harassment. The defense did not produce any witnesses at his court martial related to this assertion, Akbars superiors considered his performance in the Army substandard.

While on the first floor, the shooter moved around randomly before turning around, there, he fired at Richard Ridgell, the security officer stationed there, through a set of windows, killing him and taking his Beretta 92FS 9mm semiautomatic pistol afterwards. Ridgell, a former Maryland state trooper, had earlier informed by two police officers to remain at his post and try to stop the gunman if he attempted to leave the building.

Troy Davis – Troy Anthony Davis was an American man convicted of and executed for the August 19,1989, murder of police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia. MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King restaurant when he intervened to defend a man being assaulted in a parking lot. During Daviss 1991 trial, seven witnesses testified they had seen Davis shoot MacPhail, there were 34 witnesses who testified for the prosecution, and six others for the defense, including Davis. Although the murder weapon was not recovered, ballistic evidence presented at trial linked bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged. He was convicted of murder and various charges, including the earlier shooting. Davis maintained his innocence up to his execution, in the 20 years between his conviction and execution, Davis and his defenders secured support from the public, celebrities, and human rights groups. Amnesty International and other such as National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took up Daviss cause. Prominent politicians and leaders, including former President Jimmy Carter, Rev. Al Sharpton, Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, congressman from Georgia and presidential candidate Bob Barr, and former FBI Director and judge William S. Sessions called upon the courts to grant Davis a new trial or evidentiary hearing, in July 2007, September 2008, and October 2008, execution dates were scheduled, but each execution was stayed shortly before it was to take place. The evidentiary hearing was held in June 2010, some of these writings disavowed parts of prior testimony, or implicated Sylvester Redd Coles, who Davis contended was the actual triggerman. The state presented witnesses, including the investigators and original prosecutors. Davis did not call some of the witnesses who had recanted, despite their presence in the courthouse. Evidence that Coles had confessed to the killing was excluded as hearsay because Coles was not subpoenaed by the defense to rebut it, in an August 2010 decision, the conviction was upheld. The court described defense efforts to upset the conviction as largely smoke and mirrors, subsequent appeals, including to the Supreme Court, were rejected, and a fourth execution date was set for September 21,2011. Nearly one million people signed petitions urging the Georgia Board of Pardons, the Board denied clemency and, on September 21, it refused to reconsider its decision. After a last minute appeal to the United States Supreme Court was denied, the charges against Troy Davis arose from the shooting of Michael Cooper, the beating of Larry Young and the murder of Officer Mark MacPhail on August 18–19,1989. On the evening of August 18,1989, Davis attended a party in the Cloverdale neighborhood of Savannah. As he left the party with his friend Daryl Collins, the occupants of a car yelled obscenities 27.
