Legislative energy to secure the protection interests of its residents by punishing distribution or approving reasons for activity for production ensnares specifically First Amendment rights.

The trial court was able to determine that unfair prejudice from this broadcasting station, including information that would be inadmissible in trial and would therefore contaminate the jury. Several cases have shown that warnings alone do not neutralize the potential for jury contamination, so a trial court should not rely solely on the warnings it gives jurors.…

    Once a state has created a law and it has been determined to be constitutional, the enforcement process lends itself to judicial scrutiny when brought before the court. When the process of enforcement and the discovery of evidence have been put into motion, the circumstance surrounding how law enforcement came into contact with the accused is one of the first things reviewed - much of the initial interaction is based on the enforcement of State laws, which cascades into protected rights when the enforcement effort starts, or elements of a crime have been discovered. Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights applies the Federal Government, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause makes the Bill of Rights applicable…

    IV. For Nullification Based on the tacit allowance of jury nullification that is present today, and the stated allowance of it in death penalty cases, jury nullification should be brought out of the darkness and instated as a right in trials.
