Defendants: Case Study

Decent Essays
My Thoughts
I think that the Judges verdict was correctly placed. The Defendants website disclaimer, clearly states they are not liable for any false information provided by any members as well as verifying whether a person is married or not. The 30-day money back guaranteed is also offered, and it seems a bit unreal that it took the Plaintiff three months to see that something was wrong. It does seem a bit unusual that the Defendant’s cousins are members of the website and happen to be the “same person”. Whether there were other women who thought they all have dated the same men, there simply isn’t any proof to support this claim.

    Based on the aforementioned statements in this week’s assignment, I agree with the second statement regarding plea bargaining being right and proper. Like any tool utilized to find a solution, or to compromise, plea bargaining can be abused. A majority of the time I feel that plea bargaining is a great tool that allows for a reduction in the number of trails that judges oversee (Plea Bargaining, 2009). Moreover, I believe that our justice system is flooded and congested with pending trials and lacks the resources needed to pursue each trial with an equal amount of attention (Plea Bargain, 2009).…

    The three basic types of plea bargaining are allowing the defendant to plead guilty to a lesser offense, a defendant who pleads guilty receives less time at the request of the prosecutor, and a defendant who agrees to plead guilty to one charge in order to avoid other charges that could be brought (Bohm & Haley, 2011). The factors that prosecutors take into consideration when determining to plea bargain are the seriousness of the crime, the defendants criminal record, and how strong of a case the prosecutor has against the defendant. My personal experiences of plea bargaining when I worked patrol were mainly with Driving Under the Influence cases. If it was the defendant’s first offense, his or her BAC was below a certain limit over .08…

    The Power of Guilty Verdicts There exists a world not too far from ours, a world where no one laughs, no one smiles, and no one has enjoyable thoughts. In this place there is nothing to be found other than a near endless maze with rows upon rows of cells lit by the only fluorescent light bulb which dangles ten feet high above your head, there is no natural sunlight to be perceived, the last glimpse of the warm life giving photons was left behind the moment one enters the large metallic doors of this sorrowed place. This is a place where the only thing to be seen are humans confined to a minuscule grey box barely large enough to live in and the only thing to be heard is the horrid, silent screams of the minds whom make this place home,…

    On November 22, 2016, I sat in courtroom 507 of the Fresno County Superior Court, under the Honorable Judge Timothy Kams. Judge Kams was conducting a jury selection for a jury trial dealing with a felony DUI case. During the jury selection, I witnessed a Venire. A venire or jury pool, is a master list or jury list, from which a petit panel is selected, typically is based on names drawn from voter registration lists or lists of licensed drivers over eighteen years of age (Lippmann, 2014, p.518). I also witnessed a Voir Dire.…

    Balancing the tension between community interest and individual rights and freedoms are a significant component of the criminal trial process and is relatively successful in that retrospect. In order to be effective and efficient the criminal trial process should reflect the moral and ethical standards of society, ensure the community is sufficiently protected and respects the rights of the individual. However, despite efforts to achieve justice for all members of society, the criminal trial process does fail to provide adequate success in some areas of the law such as the jury system, Legal Aid and the provocation defence. All these areas to an extent highlight the lack of success the criminal trial process serves in balancing community interests…

    In our readings this week, we discussed procedural justice, due process and whether they are related, in my opinion they are. Procedural justice is the perception that decisions are implemented in fairness and transparency. Due process is when the employer advises the employee with a written notice of the reason for the termination and is presented at least 30 days prior to termination. A copy of the notice will also be sent to the Department of Labor office where the employee’s office is located. When the true process of procedural justice is implemented, people feel they have been treated with respect and dignity allowing the individual to accept outcomes they may not like (Burgess & Cast 2013).…
