Prosecution

Misconduct in the courtroom, whether committed by the defense or the prosecution, not only defies the laws put forth by our Founding Fathers and violates God’s will, but it is also a direct violation of the public’s trust in the criminal justice system. The results can be devastating, and have far reaching effects inside and outside of the courtroom. Being truthful is covered extensively in the Bible, beginning with the Ten Commandments and in verses such as 2 Timothy 2:15 which discusses…

Arguments and evidence presented by the prosecution as well as both the council for Ponder and the council for Yilma allowed for the majority of the truth of the case to be put before the jury, and resulted in justice in Ponder’s case, but not in Yilma’s. The prosecution team’s preparation of evidence allowed for the truth regarding the murder charge to come out, however, we did not present enough to convict either defendant of robbery because of the lack of physical evidence that would suggest…

A plea bargain is an agreement entered into by the prosecution and the defendant, through his/her council, in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty for some form of lesser punishment (Aberle, 2014). Plea bargaining can happen at anytime prior to the criminal trial and is sometimes negotiated during a…

Anthony. After the police finished their investigation they handed the evidence over to the prosecution, so they could build their case against Casey…

Koenig. The prosecution relied primarily on one witness for a majority of their case, due to an absence of evidence. As well, they also used Adnan’s relationships against him. Overall the prosecution’s actions and tactics used to convict Adnan Syed are unethical and unjust and they reflect poorly on the criminal justice system. Negligent is how I would describe the prosecution based on the evidence they presented. The prosecution used and did their best…

cite some examples of work issues related in the text. The prosecution office at work was a method used by the prosecution team to highlight certain photos and children’s accounts about alleged sexual abuse at the McMartin preschool to gather more evidence to convince the jury that defendant Ray Buckey was a sexual deviant, and that his family was guilty of similar actions. There are several examples or prosecution at work: the prosecution team using photos of the McMartin family with the…

1. A major problem with the relationship between police officers and prosecutors is the discretion that they both have in dealing with suspects (especially in incidents of domestic violence). The purpose of an arrest and prosecution are separated in order to protect citizens from unreasonable police power. Officers make arrests based on probable cause. They use discretion when making an arrest. Prosecutors file charges if they can prove a suspect is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They use…

consequently caused the death of Hiro and of Y.T’s child. Through an in-depth analysis of the case I will effectively advise the prosecution of the appropriate charges against Raven. I will also discuss the prospects of the conviction as well as the maximum penalty for those charges. I will begin by looking at the aggravating factors in the case, advising the prosecution what charges will be placed upon Raven. Raven is the ex of Y.T and the father of her child. This information illustrates the…

the criminal justice system reversed his conviction stating that the prosecution allowed a main witness in the trial to perjure herself and failed to reveal the presence of a second witness that might have helped the defense. The state of New York paid Lantigua $300,000 to settle but the prosecutors received no punishment. Mr. Lantigua is just one individual who is wrongfully convicted due to misconduct or error in the prosecution. According to District Attorney Robert Johnson, the cases in…

investigation was far from ideal. The police did not follow appropriate procedures when conducting interviews and interrogations and they harassed Williamson and Fritz for four years when, at the time, they did not even have fabricated evidence. The prosecution and police then fabricated evidence against the two men, implicating them in the rape and murder when no true evidence pointed to them and, in fact, much of the evidence pointed against them. in regards to confessions, police conduct was…
