Prosecution

when your BAC is between a 0.08 and 0.09 percent. Often, prosecutors are afraid that they could lose the trial because the BAC is not significantly over the legal limit. In other cases, you may have performed well on a field sobriety test. If the prosecution does not have enough concrete evidence to support a DUI case, they will offer a dry reckless plea. In addition, dry reckless pleas are often given when it is your first DUI offense. 2. Will I Still Need to Attend a DUI Program? Unlike…

trial. This deal brokered by the prosecutor was withheld from the jury, as such the defendant claimed his due process rights were violated. The key issue of this case was in regard to witness credibility; without the co-defendant’s statement the prosecution had no case. Thus, the Court ruled, “When the reliability of a given witness may be determinative of guilt or innocence, nondisclosure of evidence affecting credibility falls within this general rule" (Giglio v. United States, 1972). In…

arrest offenders, and a corrections system that ensures offender’s sentences are carried out. The major differences that I have found are that England keeps the victim involved in every step of their investigation. They also have Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service that ensures the courts are efficient and fair. The United States does have one aspect that still sets them apart from England and other countries and that is due process. Throughout researching England’s criminal justice system I…

trial for the murder of his mother. Athenians of the jury, you have heard testimony today that has painted my client as a ruthless murderer who has sunk so low as to have killed his own family. I implore to look past the duplicitous rhetoric of the prosecution and understand that this is not an issue of murder, but rather justice. Orestes may have very well killed his mother, but we must stop and think about why a son, who has always been loyal to his family would be pushed to such drastic…

While countries are constantly developing and progressing, there is a major problem that still exists. Around the world, countries are becoming more aware of the increasing amounts of discrimination and genocides. Many groups of people are at risk of genocide in today's world because the acts of genocide are going unnoticed. However, efforts by groups such as End Genocide are trying to spread awareness and prevent these crimes from continuing. Throughout history, genocides have been a prominent…

In some countries criminal justice system has for long been controlled by president’s commission of fairness and law enforcement, which gives a ground breaking information. This has been a challenge when it comes to curbing criminology (Nemeth, 2013). Criminal fairness in some other countries aims at minimizing crime by administering fairness and bringing about citizens confidence that the process is fair and will deliver for the law abiding citizens. In other countries it’s an objective of…

challenge an imperfect criminal justice system responsible for allowing thousands of innocent people pleading guilty each year. The 6th Amendment allows “the accused the rights to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury” in all criminal prosecutions. However, most cases never reach to a trial because the plea bargain guarantees the accuser to take a shorter sentence. Prosecutors take advantage of the criminal justice system by using mandatory minimums and past criminal records as…

Lannister’s alleged sexual relations with Jamie Lannister and other men. It is without question that the prosecution intends to present this evidence as a means of emotionally harassing Ms. Lannister and to provoke a visceral response from the Jury. Furthermore, this evidence and testimony are irrelevant to the legal matter at hand. As such, this court should…

A deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) is entered into by target corporations and the government where the government makes an agreement to dismiss charges or refrain from filing charges in exchange for the company reforming their conduct, pay restitution, and submit to oversight. After the requirements are fulfilled and proof is provided, the State Attorney’s Office drops the charges. The agreements do require the business admit to unlawful conduct, so if breached the prosecutor is guaranteed a…

judicial employees are to have integrity, avoid impropriety, and perform duties with appropriate standards. “Fairness, dignity, impartiality, integrity and professionalism, are all what should foremost epitomize all those serving under the National Prosecution Service,’ Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said” (Lontayao, 2010). Prosecutors should not accept bribes, be solicited, falsify documents, forge transportation request, embezzle or conversion of government money. The list of codes of…
