Criminal Court Proceedings Analysis

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.

In the first scenario, the first action that was illegally taken by the officer was approaching the suspect on the front porch. The officer could not legally approach the suspect as the front porch is considered an area of curtilage because this is an area that one feels that they have the right of privacy. The case that supports my decision is United States v. Dunn where police received a tip that Dunn’s barn contained alleged equipment to manufacture drugs. The barn was away from Dunns home which allowed for them to search the barn after not receiving a warrant. This case established four factors that determine curtilage. Those factors are the proximity of the area to the home, whether the area is in an enclosure surrounding the home, the

Last night as I was lying in bed in those moments between being awake and falling asleep, I got to thinking which normally is not a good thing. I thought about Ed Gray’s passing - the loss of a good friend and then about what you told me and the pain it must have caused you. Mary Lou, I realized my thoughts were about the issue of pain. For the life of me I don’t get it. In some way it is selfish in that I would give a great deal to have just a clue as to God’s plan – if I did I would give it away so anyone who has to deal with pain in their lives would have the reference book to help and understand. Of course, I don’t and never will. But, I hope that you can find a path thru what has got be a loss of trust deeper than any infidelity

In my opinion, the charges should have been dismissed against the individuals that pleaded guilty through plea bargain. The reason is that the lawsuit was able to illustrate that the prosecutor was racially motivated to incarcerated American Americans, even if they were innocent. Secondly, there was no strong evidence introduced that would uphold a conviction. The tape recordings that they had were alleged to drug transition occurring, however, you could not hear anything but noise in the background. In addition, the credibility of the confidential informant was questioned, because his stories was switching back and forth indicating that it was possibly fabricated. Lastly, the military drug sweep was achieved unlawfully without the use of

I went to go check in the juror assembly room to check for trials, they only knew of one later on in the criminal court. I went to Judge Samuels courtroom because that is where the trial was going to occur later in the day. When I arrived Judge Samuels was doing arraignments which, I found out were very common in the criminal courts. She would give the defendants who had DUI’s options between time in county jail or community service. One of the cases that stood out was a defendant who needed psych sessions. The defendant had just been given a trial and was found guilty so, they had to sentence her. The defendant was convicted of three counts one of them being assault with a deadly weapon, which happened to be a car.

On June 28, 2013, appellee, Jennifer Brandeen, (“Mother”), was awarded an absolute divorce from appellant, David Brandeen, (“Father”) in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County. The circuit court amended its judgment on November 6, 2013. Mother later appealed the circuit court’s decision to this court, where we affirmed the circuit court’s judgment except on a question relating to the court’s marital property award. Father, sought--and was granted--an en banc review of the circuit court’s judgment. After the en banc review, the circuit court’s judgment was affirmed.

This paper will seek to provide an analysis of the juvenile court process, highlight the changes that have taken place in the role of this court over the years in addition to also identifying why the role of the juvenile court has changed.

This is the inter-department that you requested in response to me missing Traffic Court on October 31, 2017. I have been assigned to the East District Narcotics Unit since 2015. The majority of our cases we are in constant communications with the prosecutors. I completely dropped the ball on this Traffic Court case that stemed from a 2011 traffic arrest for operating a vehicle without a license and refusal to identify. This was one of those cases that has popped up every year or two or whenever the Defendant was picked up on a warrant. On this case alone the Defendant has failed to appear in court four or five times over the past 6 years. I believe that by not having had any contact with the prosecutor prior to the court date and having

During my time interning at the Public Defender’s Office, I have observed that time is one of the biggest issues. It has been shown that is quicker for an indigent individual to plead guilty than it is for them to receive adequate legal representation. After obtaining an attorney, it is a lengthy process when going through the different hearings and trials. Often taking several months for cases to be fully resolved.

I completely agree with Kesha that this is in fact an incredibly complex case because the criminal trial was never truly concentrated for the justice of the crime. It was a trial about racism, trial about the credibility of the police, about whether simpson was dreamed anything but the actual crime. The horrific murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were left behind, forgotten. Everyone jumped on the soap opera train as if this trial was a reality show, and I could not even begin to imagine the families of the victim’s pain. Kesha also raised many good questions that I myself have asked while following both the civil and criminal trial. I do have some theories that may not explain the motive but may explain why things turned corrupt the

Basic Overview of What Occurred and the Outcome of any Legal Proceedings or Charges Laid

I went to the court on October 13, around 10:30. When I first walked in there were a lot of people there I wasn’t expecting that at all. Security was higher than at the magistrate court. There were attorneys there but they stand next to there defendants at all times since it was still assembly justice so the trials didn’t go on for days if the most for about 30 minutes. The first case I had a chance was already on its way so I don’t know how long it had been going on for. The defendant was wearing a dark blue jump suit. As well as he had some chains aournd his waist

These experiences had taught me a lot of things. For one, i learned that a small mistake in our path could lead to a huge catastrophe at the end. And remorse or guilt alone is not going to change anything. We have to stand up, face the truth, and stay strong. Be a man made of steel. Have a will stronger than iron. Do not let anyone get you down, because they don't control your life. You do. And I learned that making fun of others' appearances is not funny. It is mean, intolerant and cruel. For we never know what kind of things they are going through and the last thing they need is to receive another cynical stare filled with one-sided judgment. And to be honest, I'm glad that God struck me with this obstacle. Without it, i would never learn to appreciate myself and the others. For i believe that failing once does not mean I’m going to fail

In the legal field, key to presenting competence to your client, opposing attorneys, and the court, appearance stands. Reviewing persons in the legal field remains a head to toe scrutiny, since if your appearance portrays competence, until there exists a mishandling of the case or the client, their confidence in the firm remains solid.
