Your honour, in the matter before the court, the prosecution alleges that on 11 February 2017, whilst standing in line at a Shawn Mendes merchandise signing, there were words and actions exchanged between the defendant, Harriet Payne and Louis Styles, which caused Louis Styles to fear for his safety. The events that took place and words and actions exchanged are as follows. As we understand it, the prosecution is only alleging that the defendant committed affray when standing in line for the…
The prosecution team in this trial worked to convince and persuade the judges to declare the Sons of Liberty at fault for their rebellious actions during the Boston Tea Party and proclaim them guilty of treason. With this goal in mind, they focused specifically on the colonists’ relationship to Great Britain. Furthermore, the prosecution specifically exploited from the declaration of the colonist’s betrayal and disregard for their own mother country, while claiming that the actions taken broke…
issue with the methods being used to obtain forensic evidence, the first to speak of would be Hoffman v. Florida where there was a Brady violation due to the fact that the prosecution did not turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense. This was because there wasn’t enough of it to pass onto the defense which is why prosecution did not do so to begin with; even though this was the case it was still the law that all reports of tests have to be turned over to the defense. In the end Hoffman got…
is a killer who murdered two victims .The courts held a second trial, the prosecutor tried to introduce evidence of the accused being “silent.” The prosecutor hopes to convince the jury that because he is silent, he is guilty of the crime. The prosecution tries to allude to the fact by making an assumption that the man is guilty of the crime. Precedent Cases As our country continues to advance and more complicated cases are appealed and presented to the Supreme Court, the justices turn to…
I found some existing case literature I thought you might find an interesting compliment for your forum's summary. EEO offenses aren't in my bailiwick so I was curious about international enforcement of the violation. There was a federal case prosecuted out of the Eastern District of Virginia: US v. Kolon Industries, Inc. Kolon is a South Korean company which competes with Dupont in the manufacture of synthetic fiber which Dupont has successfully marketed as Kevlar. Over a period of many…
Simpson had stopped taking his rheumatoid arthritis medication one month before being asked to put the gloves on during the trial. This would have made the knuckles on his hands inflamed. (Schiller & Willwerth, 2015) Another flaw would be that the prosecution presented so much evidence in such a short amount of time that the case lost some of its…
Charles Hood (the man convicted in this case) should absolutely get a new trial. The actions that occurred between the prosecutor and the judge were inappropriate and inexcusable. Not to mention the fact that the judge was most likely unfairly biased against the defendant and his defense team. In addition, it be reasonably assumed that the judge looked more favorably toward the prosecutor and his side of the case for obvious reasons. Hood did not receive a fair trial because the judge had a…
Overall, this year’s Native Son Mock Trial went very well, even if there are a few growth areas for the lawyers and witnesses. Most of the lawyers did a very good job presenting their ideas and examining witnesses. Growth areas for them would be to be more prepared when going up questioning the witnesses, speaking louder, and actually asking relevant questions that would support their side. Additionally, I think the judge should know her responsibilities better and know when to say what. In…
that is free of corruption. The trial that the Pussy Riot had endured in 2012 was riddled with fallacies from the prosecution and their witnesses. From the start of the trail the three members of Pussy Riot were…
citizens while respecting the rights granted to them in the Constitution. It is part of their job to use the Constitution as a guideline in all that they do. There are some that fear that small one-time incidents will turn into over-exaggerated prosecutions. They should worry not; the bill exists to protect America’s Internet users, not to federally involve teens for their mindless, truthfully harmless actions…
