When Jodi Arias was mistrialed and then trialed again and found guilty of first degree murder one last step needed to be made. To find out if she will be sentenced to death or live in prison the rest of her life without any parole. As we have learned in our previous discussions, getting put on death row is a process. Not only is it a process but a very slow process. This is because the court system wants to…

process of trials. Plea bargains are a faster way for the courts to get through all of the cases that they must filter through. In relation to due process rights however, plea bargaining is often used erroneously. Yes, it may be easier on the judicial system, but it’s not always in the best interest of the individuals being charged. Little consideration is given many times to the individuals and their charges. The prosecution and/or the courts just want to get them in and get them out. They see…

There are multiple stages of the criminal court process that create a burden of proof that contribute to criminal justice investigations. Every court process begins with a crime allegedly committed to determining its legal status. Law enforcement and detectives determine if the crime was illegal or legal due to the investigations. They investigate a crime by interviewing victims, witnesses, and suspects. They also gather physical evidence by taking pictures, fingerprint, and DNA samples. The…

me I wouldn’t have thought to keep going for a try. That was very impressive to me and Jennifer angered me a bit as well. I understand she was angry as a women yet, if the court is trying to retrial then obviously something is missing in the case, I feel the whole court system was agreeable and working with both the victim and Ronald well. If Bobby Poole wouldn’t have told other inmates I also feel Ronald wouldn’t have wanted to try…

the area of frustration with regards to contract law. Taylor v Caldwell is an extremely important case, as Murray states, "frustration developed to alleviate harshness of absolute obligation rule". Frustration comes about in circumstances where the courts will discharge the parties of obligations under the contract, therefore meaning that the parties are not liable for any further obligations under the contract. Case Facts The case centred on a musical hall which the claimant agreed to…

Barnes Bowie and Donald R. Songer (2009) examines the relevance of the strategic theory in explaining the decisions made by Court of Appeals judges. Strategic theory states that judges alter the way they vote in response to the potential reactions of other important actors. Some scholars argue that strategic theory does indeed provide reasoning for decisions made by judges on the Court of Appeals. Yet, other scholars challenge this claim and assert that there is no such evidence supporting the…

The law relating to domestic enquiry is very vast and varied. It is scattered over number of statues, orders, standing orders and decisions of courts. To understand and appreciate it we have to carefully go through the concepts of rights and obligations and duties, a worker has acquired certain rights and it is the manifestation of these rights, which had culminated into this branch of law. The concept of hire and fire has lost its recognition altogether in the last decades of development and…
