    Mempa Vs Rhay Case Analysis

    In Mempa v. Rhay, Jerry Douglas Mempa had pleaded guilty to joyriding, which then resulted in Mempa being on probation for a number of two years. Mempa’s case was then deferred but approximately four months later, he was then charged with burglary. Mempa’s probation was revoked, due to the burglary charge, and during the revocation process, Mempa had no counsel to represent him, was not offered the option of having counsel to represent him, nor asked of his previous court-appointed counsel. He plead guilty to the burglary charges and was sentenced to 10 years maximum, in compliance to Washington State Law ("Mempa v. Rhay 389 U.S. 128 (1967)", 2017). Within six years, Mempa sought a writ of Habeas Corpus because he was denied counsel during…

    Summary Of In Re Gault

    During the adjudicatory process, there are usually two judicial hearings that the juvenile attends. The first is the initial appearance, is the equivalent of arraignment where the juvenile is notified of the charges against them, they are appointed legal counsel and bail is considered. If the case has not been settled by the close of the initial appearance, it is held for trial. In re Gault is the case that changed the nature of juvenile trials forever.

    Gerald Scarpelli Case Summary

    When his probation was revoked the court failed to appoint him legal representation and they failed to give him hearings following the revocation which violated his due process rights(Findlaw’s). In addition, the probation officer was negligent in not recognizing that Scarpelli didn't have the proper representation and recognizing that his clients due process rights were being violated (Findlaw’s) It’s my opinion that Scarpelli should not have been released so soon after being convicted to fifteen years after his first armed robbery crime and he should have served a portion of that sentence. I also feel that the judge was negligent by releasing him and allowing him to leave Wisconsin to live in Illinois. If Scarpelli’s due process rights had not been violated he probably wouldn’t have been paroled and he would have served the remainder of his original…

    Gagnon Vs Scarpelli Case Study

    In the case of Gagnon v. Scarpelli, the Respondent Gerald Scarpelli was a convicted criminal who originally pleaded guilty to armed robbery in Wisconsin. The presiding judge, in this case, sentenced him to 15 years incarceration for the robbery offense but suspended the imprisonment and placed him on probation, which is a community transition program, for 7 years (Gagnon v. Scarpelli 411 US 778 - Supreme Court 1973). I think the judge had the expectation of Scarpelli fulfilling the terms of his probation and the other stipulations that were required during his time since it was certainly less than the originally stated 15 years. Scarpelli was given permission to live in Illinois under the Adult Probation Department of Cook County but was later…

    In Gagnon v. Scarpelli (1973), the United States Supreme Court held that due process mandates a preliminary and final revocation hearing for a probationer under the same conditions specified in Morrissey v. Brewer, (1972). These hearings are now known as the Gagnon I and Gagnon II hearings (Worrall, 2015). A Gagnon I hearing occurs the probationer is arrested for an alleged violation (Worrall, 2015).

    Juvenile Court Case Summary

    Question #2: Summarize at least three landmark cases made by the US Supreme Court and discuss their impact on the Juvenile Justice system. The practices of early America resulted in harsher punishments for juveniles than adults who may have committed the same crime. By the nineteenth century, these practices began to change through campaigns advocating rights for children, as they were becoming aware that children might not be as responsible for their crimes as adults, like previously believed. This eventually led to the nation’s first juvenile court that was established in Cook County, Chicago in 1899. Since then, there have been many court decisions that have assisted with the way the juvenile justice system practices today.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird: A Character Analysis

    “Close that curtain, Jessie, I have no wish to regard my garden and examine the destruction caused by that, horrible little boy.” “That’s more appropriate, now where’s my tea, go and fetch it at once!” “Maids, what’s becoming of them, acting as though they are equals to us white folk, it’s simply not allowed!” Crossing my arms I lean back and ponder the situation “It doesn’t help this situation when no one listens to my opinion, sure they believe there’s a difference between themselves and their maids, however they have no idea how alike they appear.” “Finally back Jessie?…
