Case Study: First Degree Burglary

I feel that this case was somewhat representative of what was discussed in the textbook. The forensics aspects of this case were generally different from the impression of forensics I received from reading the textbook. Despite this fact, I feel that the investigative techniques of this case were similar to what was discussed in the textbook, as well as what has been discussed during lecture.

According to the FBI, Home Break-In (Burglary) is the most common threat to our home. Over 2.5 million home invasions happen every year in the United States of America. When caught, the burglar can be trailed for two different types of cases. One of these cases is a civil case and the other one is a criminal case. They are both brought up by different people and have different outcomes. In this question we given a situation where a Burglar Bob has been caught breaking into another Vince Victim’s home. We will take a look at who will be responsible for bring up the civil and criminal cases. As well as what the outcome could be for both cases.

The way that the Burglary Case Study would be addressed through the criminal justice process is to arrest the two sixteen-year-old girls (as they have already confessed), on felony charges of burglary with forcible entry which would likely have a prison penalty and/or fines and possibly restitution for damages and lost property (Theoharis, 2015). Depending on the state where the crime was committed they would be charged as adults; in my state which is New York, juveniles are children under 16 whereas 16 and over are charged as an adult (Merlan, 2013 ). The criminal justice process would likely use the elderly man’s heart attack in court, however it would be less likely motivated to help the victim than it would to convict and get harder sentencing

Discuss how a felony case may travel through the criminal justice system starting with the intake of an accused into the system until a resolution of the case creates an exit for a defendant. (See Figure 2.1).

Question 1 (3 points): EVERY criminal felony case can be prosecuted in both federal and state courts. Is this statement true or false? Explain your answer. The statement that every criminal felony case can be prosecuted in both federal and state courts is false. The only time that a defendant can be tried in both state and federal courts is under the Dual Sovereignty rule. Dual sovereignty means that both that state and federal government stand with there own rights, meaning that they are both courts stand alone and can prosecuted crimes separately. According to Carmen “ Multiple prosecutions may be characterized as vertical or horizontal.” An example of the dual sovereignty prosecution would be the trail of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols

Burglary and robbery are different in many ways, but are the same. Burglary is when a person unlawful entry to a person home or business building to commit the act of theft or a felony. When the action of a burglary is committed by someone, the victim does not have to be present at the time of the incident. (DeMille, 2016). When dealing with building types it can be numerous kind of business offices. Burglary must take place when a person only unlawfully entered your home or building without permission. Depending on the state’s the status of the laws for the offense of burglary can be considered a felony. Robbery is when a person has taken or trying to take something from another person that has value unlawfully by force, intimidation or even threatening that person. Robbery is different from burglary because in order for a person to commit the offense of robbery, a victim must be present at the time of the incident for the crime to occur. Depending on the states and the values of the item that was taken from the victim at the time of the incident the states statues of the laws for the offense of robbery can be considered a felony. (DeMille, 2016). Burglary and robbery are the same in only one category; both are considered to be property crimes.

Samuel has peers who have a positive and pro-social influence and peers who have a negative, delinquent influence with whom he has been associating for about two years. Samuel currently spends three to seven hours of free time per week with negatively influencing peers.

Unfortunately, that cousin was the victim in one of the current charges before the court. As a result of Samuel’s criminal behavior in that matter, the relationship with the cousin no longer exists.
