    The lawsuit of Basulto v. Hialeah Automotive had its origins in a contract disagreement between parties. The plaintiffs in the case were Roberto Basulto and Raquel Gonzalez, whom were husband and wife and considered by the courts to be “the buyers”. On the other hand, the defendant in the case was Hialeah Automotive, LLC, who also went by the name of Potamkin Dodge, and was considered by the courts to be “the dealership” (Basulto v. Hialeah, 2014). In 2004, Basulto and Gonzalez purchased from Hialeah Automotive a 2005 Dodge Caravan.

    Dustin Hoffman v. Los Angeles Magazine An article entitled "Grand Illusions" in the "Fabulous Hollywood Issue!" of Los Angeles Magazine in March 1997 featured several famous film stills altered such that the movie stars appeared to be wearing spring fashions. The scenes included Cary Grant in “North by Northwest,” John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever,” Elvis Presley in “Jailhouse Rock,” ), and Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch.” The final image was a play on the legendary image of Dustin Hoffman posing in front of an American flag from the 1982 film “Tootsie,” but Hoffman was depicted in a Richard Tyler butter-colored silk gown and Ralph Lauren heels instead of the original red long-sleeved sequined evening dress and high heels. One month later, Hoffman filed a $5 million lawsuit against Los Angeles Magazine's owner and publisher, Fairchild Publications (which is owned by Capital Cities/ABC, Inc.), alleging that the photograph misappropriated Hoffman's name and likeness in violation of the California common law right of publicity, the California statutory right of publicity, the California unfair competition statute, and the federal Lanham Act.…

    In Hustler Magazine inc v. Falwell, Jerry Falwell sued Hustler Magazine for placing an advertisement in their magazine about Falwell. The satire is about Falwell having sex for the first time with his mother. The Campari advertising campaign was obviously a satire, but “Falwell sued Flynt for libel, appropriation and intentional infliction of emotional distress” (pg. 294). The court understood that the advertisement was just a satire and it was not meant to destroy his character. “A federal district court jury rejected the libel claim because the satire was so outlandish no one would believe it was a statement of fact” (pg.294).…

Mr. Salina was free to leave, which didn't insert his Miranda rights and he had therefore no right to remain silent. Justices Samuel Alito stated that Mr. Salina´s should have affirmatively invoked his rights, because without Mr. Salina´s having a lawyer or being told the Miranda rights he should have been more affirmative about his invoking.

    I was able to find several examples of court cases involving digital evidence and its admissibility in court, but the search for specific cases involving searches of seized or suspect digital media was little harder to come by. The laws have changed drastically over the last decade as digital information has become more prevalent in our daily lives. For example, most important court decisions involving digital searches happened within the last five years, which is just crazy considering digital data storage has been used to the point of being commonplace for twenty to thirty years. In 2000, United States v. Scott‐Emuakpor set the precedent when collecting digital evidence, and that was that it was only necessary for testimony of a witness who was present while data was collected from computers for it to be admissible as evidence. Sounds ridiculous in hindsight, know what we know now of the common knowledge of rights to digital privacy.…

    I believe that the auditors in this case, Ernst & Whinney, should have great blame in not having the sufficient information and knowledge to fall into the pressure of the bribes committed by Minkow and analyze the fraud that was occurring. The upper management in ZZZZ Best made the financial information seem perfectly fine, therefore the auditors were unable to identify any miscalculations that would then lead to fraud. Minkow and his company for years kept on staling the fact that his insurance business had an actual positive cash flows system occurring. This would keep the auditors from seeing the main problem concerning the fraud that was started from the very beginning by Minkow and his carpet/insurance business. As this wasn’t enough fake information conducted by…
