Law Case Report

Prior to 28th January 2015, bail laws posed significant loopholes in the system and are deemed to be ineffective to achieve justice. Accused offenders may get away with bail based with evidence in the case if it does not seem to pose a threat to the community. The problem persists within the conditions set for their bail, as responsibility lies upon the magistrate or police to impose appropriate conditions. However, though conditions do vary, it possesses a significant risk if the conditions enforced were not strict enough, opening vulnerabilities for the accused to commit another crime, slipping through their enforced conditions.

The nine charges relate to 14 separate fires lit between 3rd of February 2014 and 2nd of January 2015 in the Tatura and Mooroopna area. Ms Thumpston lit each fire on the side of the road using matches or a lighter to ignite dry vegetation. The fires were small and were extinguished by local CFA units, although there was a substantial risk that any of these fires could of spread and caused serious damage. The majority of the fires where lit in the vicinity of a farm whose manages son was involved in a disagreement with the accused in 2013, though it is not believed that all accounts of arson were the motivation. Ms Thumpston was not forthcoming with police when interviewed by police even though she was observed to be in the vicinity of the fires and a tracking device was installed and placed her vehicle in the area of other fires. On the 2nd of January 2015 the accused were taken into custody for 88 days, since then there were no further fires. The accused had a difficult life, her parents were tragically killed at the age of two and as a result she was placed into a foster care system and had issues with her stepmother. At the age of 13 she was sexually assaulted by her stepbrother. Ms Thumpston completed year 8 and 9 but was considered illiterate and at the age of 16 you ran away and lived on a farm for three years. Her husband drowned and her two children were taken away into

Under the Bail Act 2013, police can use their discretion to grant or refuse bail. This helps to keep the offenders right of innocent until proven guilty. This helps in upholding the rights of society. In the R v Gallaher case 2012, the accused was let off on bail as a result of the judge’s discretion even though he had murdered someone, it was thought that he wouldn’t put society at risk. When the Bail Act was reformed it was added that an unacceptable risk test must be passed before anyone can be released. This means that society’s rights are balanced as well as the victims as the accused won’t be released if they could cause any

After an incident took place on the 12 of July 2008, Mr Walker claimed damages for false imprisonment, assault and malicious prosecution. This claim arose after an incident which occurred that involved the police officers being responsive to a complaint that was made by the appellant’s partner, Ms Cadice Lecky. At the arrival of the scene, Mr Alexandra Walker was alleged that he has punched his partner and he was also verbally abusive. One of the police officers at the scene PC Adams considered that there were reasonable grounds to make an arrest, however before taking this approach he decided to question Mr Walker on the incident.

Lisa Levan 231 Rasberry St. Bethlehem, Pa. 18018 (610) 442-6327 was advised of the identity of Investigator Sean P. Brennan and of the confidential nature and purpose of the interview, Levan, provided the following information:

Then out of nowhere I am put in cuffs and taken into custody for child endangerment, child neglect and failure to protect a child in need. I explain to them that I was deployed and there was no way that I had anything to do with the terrible things that happened to my daughter. They explained that it is my fault as much as it was her fathers and her babysitters. So, we get to court and I explained to the judge that at the time this occurred I was deployed to Iraq and I had no idea what had happened until I returned home, as my husband didn’t want me to worry while I was deployed so everything waited until I got home. The judge stated that I was as guilty as her father and the babysitter, so then I went and found myself an attorney to help me get this taken care of and help get my beautiful daughters life back to normal. My attorney told me that I needed to get all my documents that stated that I was not in country. So, I went to my unit and got all my documents that were needed and we built my case. This went on for about six months until finally my chain of command had come to my aid in helping me get the courts to understand why I was not here and why I could be there to help protect my

In line with the increasing trend to find in favour of the plaintiff, where liability of public authorities is involved, the High Court (‘the Court’) held that the appellants (‘CSY, Michael and others’) were assaulted by the respondents (‘The Chief Constable of South Wales Police and another’), prison officials at the Silverwater Prison of South Wales. The Court’s reasoning, principles and ultimately its decision in CSY, Michael and others (Appellants) v The Chief Constable of South Wales Police and another were logical in light of the well-established common law principle. However, this paper proposes

The causes of wrongful convictions are easy to identify: irregularities and incompetence at the investigatory, pre-trial, trial and appellate stages of the criminal justice system. More particularly, Kaiser identifies the following contributory factors, among others: false accusations, misleading police investigative work, inept defense counsel, misperceptions by Crown prosecutors of their role, factual assumption of an accuser’s guilt by actors in the criminal justice system, community pressure for a conviction, inadequate identification evidence, perjury, false confessions, inadequate or misinterpreted forensic evidence, judicial bias, poor presentation of an appellate case, and difficulty in having fresh evidence admitted at the appellate stage. Each instance of determined wrongful conviction illustrates a different combination of failures in the criminal justice system that has

According to Los Angeles Superior Court, Police Officers and my family I was dating a pedophile. When I was fourteen years old I met someone online who was 22 years old, I didnt care about age until that relationship brought me consequences in my life. At first nobody knew about our relationship until I ran away with him because I knew I was pregnant. Weeks later leaving under his roof the abuse started before he knew I was pregnant, but it got worse when he found out. At one point in time I tried to leave him but I couldn't he repeatedly punched me in the stomach trying to get me to miscarry. Each beating would get worse and worse. However, my family didn’t stop looking for me they filed police reports and they found me sleeping in a park.

With the passing of the Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Bill 2016, both private and public Australian organisations will now be obliged to notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in the event of a data breach. The requirement to report will commence on 13 February 2018, 12 months after being approved by both Houses of Parliament.

In addition to accusations at school because of my brother, I prisoned for 45 days in Agena Police Station. In 2009, three police officers came to our house and asked for Jilalu. I told them I did not see him for several months. Then pull me out and searched all rooms. They took all documents and me to the Agena Plice Station. At the same day at the station, several police officers came to me and asked where my brother had been hiding. They also told me if I told them, they would let me go. However, I did not tell them because I knew if I told them, they would kill my brother. When they realized that I was not going tell them, they put me in prison. When I was in prison, I was taking to an empty room many times and subjected to interrogation and beating. In addition, they gave me meal only one time a day. Even though the officers beat me

" You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present at questioning." The policeman said as he handcuyed me. As I was thrown into the backseat, I watched my child cry "Daddy" and reach for me as her mother hushed her sobs. That and the glare her mother gave me was enough to make me feel like the I was the worst father alive. After a failed attempt of trying to get my babymama to bail me out, I was sentenced to a year and six months in jail on drug charges
