Prosecution

The trial went very well, in my opinion and everyone was able to keep up with their professional roles. The lawyers did a very good job on coming up with questions on the spot and then stating what they were trying to prove by asking those questions. In particular, Adriana and Tasfia did very good on trying to prove their claim and make sure that the answers they got would tie back to their original claim. I liked how Adriana would ask medical questions to the doctors and she was able to ask…

The respondent, Gerald Scarpelli, a felony probationer was arrested after committing a burglary. The respondent's probation was revoked without a hearing and he was not represented by counsel. He filed a petition for habeas corpus and the District Court concluded that revocation of probation without a hearing and without counsel was a denial of due process. The Court of Appeals affirmed. The probationer was entitled to a hearing, but the State is not constitutionally required to appoint an…

concurrence, causation, and resulting injury or crime. The prosecution must prove all this five elements in order to convict somebody of a crime. New information I learned was that there are two types of law. The first one is the Civil Law which is when someone brings a complaint to the court. After, the court will decide who’s fault was it or what is the next step. The second is Criminal Law which is when the state meaning the prosecution services brings a complaint to the…

addition to the verbal recount of his findings, Ceballos submitted a disposition memorandum in which he recommended dismissal. After a second memorandum was presented, a meeting, which became quite “heated”, was held to discuss the affidavit. The prosecution…

a better picture of just what prompts stalkers to engage in their campaigns of harassment, terror, and violence. Gregor Krause, Stalking: The Crime of the Nineties, Albuquerque Mag., Jan. 1993, at p. 26. The assessment, investigation, prosecution, and defense of stalking cases is a most complex and challenging process. Often, victims suffer a host of indignities before, during, and after law enforcement intervention. Stalking victims are encouraged to report the actions of the…

Bob Ewell, Mayella’s dad was pressing charges and hoped to give Tom the death sentence. After hearing the prosecution team's side, Atticus provided substantial evidence that this crime never happened, there was no doctor that was rushed to the scene, no one heard her yelling, and Tom clearly couldn't have done it since he never went in there without permission…

violence” (Drugnab.us, 2). Besides, legalizing marijuana would free more space in the crowded state correctional facilities. For instance following the legalization of marijuana in Colorado there was a dramatic fall in marijuana related prosecutions. Initially these prosecutions cost the tax payers millions of dollars. Today, however, such monies can be redirected to fund other state projects (Armentano, 3). In addition this would help to save tax payers money by reducing the amount of money…

Criminal Conspiracy is not always mean felony. Conspiracy is usually graded the same as the crime offenders were conspiring to commit. For example: If group of offenses to conspire to rob Fort Knox and are successful in robbing Fort Knox before they are arrested, then they will be charged with robbing Fort Knox. They will not also be charged with conspiracy to rob Fort Knox, because it is included in the charge of robbery. The offense of conspiracy to defraud requires that two or more…

there is probably no doubt that the child did commit the murder, but the next step of the prosecution is sentencing. Is the court going to demand that this young child serve time in a federal prison or possibly get the death penalty? Probably not, so trying a child as an adult in this instance would be nonsense. The only law associated with this says that children under 7 years of age are exempt from and prosecution, with the understanding that they are not old enough to understand that they…

the police were reluctant to make domestic violence arrest”. (Moore, 2009). But things started to change during the 1990’s. Violence Against Women Act made the changes of a new criminal justice were pro-arrest polices, evidence-base prosecution, and specialized prosecution units. When the new federal and state laws against domestic violence rise, each domestic violence case that was heard in a courtroom was heard by one or more specially trained judges. The reason why there were one or more…
