David Caroon

Cartoons have always captivated the public’s imagination and expressed social or political messages. Today, cartoons remain essential to newsrooms worldwide and continue to showcase their artistry and wit in increasingly clever ways.

David Allen Caroon was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison for offering $10,000 to a fellow inmate in exchange for the murder of his former girlfriend.

Early Life and Education

David Alexander Cecil Low was born on April 7, 1891 in Dunedin, the third son of pharmacist David Brown Low and Jane Caroline Flanagan (nee Low).

At the age of eight, he began drawing cartoons inspired by English halfpenny comics such as Chips, Comic Cuts and Larks. He idolized Punch artists Tom Browne, Keene and Sambourne, plus caricaturists Gillray, Daumier and Philipon.

At the age of 11, Low began selling cartoons to The Christchurch Spectator and soon after joined their staff as a cartoonist. His indignation against European fascism, particularly Adolf Hitler’s views, earned him worldwide notoriety and made him an easy target for Nazis who placed him on their post-invasion death list.

Achievement and Honors

David Caroon was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley for over 25 years. He gained notoriety for his expertise on international law during the globalization era and created the Center for Global Law and Policy at Berkeley – becoming the first university-based program in this field to do so. Furthermore, Caroon received numerous honors including that most coveted award from the UC Faculty Senate. Beyond his academic accomplishments, Caroon also contributed significantly to society by founding centers to study comparative religion and the International Human Rights Law and Ethics Clinic at Berkeley.

Personal Life

David Allen Caroon is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Additionally, he is facing trial on charges of stalking and harassment related to an earlier case in Hennepin County with another woman.

At his sentencing hearing, the district court awarded him 342 days of jail credit. On appeal, Caroon sought an additional 303 days, contending that they should receive credit for time spent in custody before the state recorded a conversation with another inmate on September 14, 2006. The district court denied his motion; we affirm. Moreover, without considering whether there was any manipulation involved, the court confirmed that probable cause had been established to prosecute Caroon on that date.
