Legal burden of proof

Eating grocery-store food is not currently viewed with suspicion, whereas a hand-prepared, foraged meal raises eyebrows. How do chemicals, shiny steel factories, and tin cans make us feel more secure in the buccal insertion of chemical-laden foodstuffs? How did we get to the point where, unless, it comes from a can, box, or bag, food is suspect? Now, I don’t advocate blaming everything on the government. But this phenomenon does stem, at least partially, from governmental interference. Yet,…

easy target for police. This profiling is considered good police work when used against whites. (Meeks, 2000) “Racial profiling and high discretion police tactics impose substantial costs on innocent citizens of color, who as a result must bear the burden of public humiliation and personal degradation at a level unimaginable to…

Filemon also gave Van Zeller a tour of his living conditions. Not only do they work in horrific conditions, but they live in them as well. The undocumented workers live in what is called, flophouses. These workers make very little money, so this has supplement their survival, plus they send money back home to their families. As a result, several different families share one living space, which can be anywhere up to 15 to 25 people, under one roof. When Americans complain about these workers…

“Planned Parenthood”. Today, the organization’s name can be heard by many Americans on television, newspapers, and magazines. Many do not know that this organization started as American Birth Control League in 1921 by Margaret Sanger. According to Rachel Galvin, the author of the article named “Margaret Sanger’s Deeds of Terrible Virtue”, “Sanger opened the first American birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn, on October 16, 1916...The clinic was in direct violation of laws prohibiting…

Question 1 Silence cannot be considered a form of acceptance in contract law, in Felthouse v. Bindley (1862), after small negotiations over a horse, the claimant was willing and offered to buy the horse from the nephew. The claimant wrote, “If I hear no more about him, I consider the horse mine at £30.15s” (Duxbury, 2008). The horse was said to be withdrawn from the auction but 6 weeks down the line Bindley, the defendant, accidentally sold the horse at the auction; then the claim was formed.…

means women in extreme poverty don’t have to raise a child in impossible circumstances; pro-choice means women can protect themselves from conditions that could kill them, the fetus, or both; finally pro-choice means a woman can escape the physical proof of a rape and help to heal their mental health. Pro-choice is more than removing a few cells it is allowing women the choice to live. Unintended pregnancies cause enough issues for the stereotypical white picket fence family, imagine the…

received money as a method of lighting the tax burden from the companies who profited from the iPhone 6. A real life example that we have figures for is the mobile phone accessory retailers. Sales for cell phone accessories for two weeks immediately following the iPhone 6 release totaled $249 million dollars which was a 43% increase over the same retailers previous 2 weeks. When you add that money to the profit Apple is making you have unquestionable proof that the iPhone 6 is an engine for…

Doctors and family force a drawn out death with pointless medicine and other even more painful treatments, when the case could, in a better society, have a legal strategy to look through with a set list of criteria. In cases such as Cramer’s, she needed “to find a respected doctor who would” administer lethal doses of a drug after determining that she suffered “from a terminal illness and was in unbearable…

The major issue with not there being a clear definition of consent is firstly, the burden of proof increases in the specific case when there is no force. In English criminal law there are two parts to a criminal liability the physical element and the mental element (actus reus and mens rea). In the case of rape the actus reus element is only…

not fair and that there was never a mutual understanding of the pay rate. She saw the supplemental pay as a bonus, but also felt entitled to receive the required overtime compensation.
