On 1/9/2016 at approximately 2345 hours I, Officer Nelson #3912, responded to 1350 Hickory St. (Holmes Regional Medical Center) in reference to a fight that had just occurred.
Upon arrival I met with the victim, Isaac Higgins. Isaac had just been discharged from HRMC for a "Flash Burn" that affected his eyes. Isaac and his mother, Deanna Ahern, advised that while walking north out of the hospital a white truck "squealing its tires” turned the wrong direction at a fast speed and almost hit them. Deanna stated "My son and I had to jump out of the way" or they would have been "run over." Deanna stated she yelled at the driver of the truck "Hey, Watch out." to which the driver of the vehicle replied "Fuck you." Deanna stated the vehicle parked in front of the emergency

They were walking on the road approximately 100 feet from the door when a white truck entered the wrong side of the "drop off loop" and almost hit him and his mother. Isaac advised that he and his mother continued to walk north away from the truck. While he was getting into his vehicle the white truck stopped behind his vehicle preventing his mother from backing out of the parking spot. The passenger of the white truck got out and stated "You're an idiot" and "I'm going to kick your ass." Isaac advised he felt his mother was in danger so he moved his mother away from the back of their vehicle. Isaac stated that after his mother was out of reach from the white male, the white male "Put his hands up like a boxer and lunged towards me and hit me." Isaac stated all 3 of the white males attacked him and threw him on the ground where they continued to hit him. After the attack Isaac stated that the 3 white males started yelling at each other "the police are coming!" The 3 white males then jumped back into the white truck and sped off at the sight of security. Isaac was re-admitted to HRMC as a result of his
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.

The concept of Judicial Review is to review cases using the power of the courts over the actions of the executive and legislative branches to deem them invalid or unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has a unique position because of its broad commitment to the American People and its Constitution. The Court's principles on judicial review are that The Constitution is the supreme law of the country, they have ultimate authority on constitutional matters, and they must vote against any law that clashes with the constitution. One of the most significant cases that brought forth such convictions was the case of Marbury vs. Madison in 1803. Which was a case that brought many complications because when Jefferson ordered his Secretary of State James

Many states use preliminary hearings instead of grand jury. Each of these legal institutions serves to avoid misjudged criminal prosecutions. Without this protection it could be that more accused had to wait in jail for a trial without an initial evaluation of the evidence against them. Preliminary hearings and grand juries protect people from unfounded accusations by the government.
Shortly thereafter, these guys tossed buoys to the pontoon and pulled out a white female, Bridgett Jones, who was complaining of injuries to her left arm. She was walked into the guard shack and stated that her injuries were caused by being slammed into the wall because of the wind and waves, while these men were pulling her out. Next, a young white male, Joey Oteck, was pulled out and brought into the guard shack. Then another white female, Cindy Thompson, was pulled out. A lady who stated she was a registered nurse, tried to set Bridgett’s arm but did not have the necessary items. EMS was contacted to check out these
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
There are many different types of crimes that occur on a daily basis in this country; from homicide to petty theft to white collar crime. Due to the diversity and variation of these illegal activities, it would be imprudent not to have courts that are specialized to the vast majority of individuals who commit these crimes. This paper will discuss the different types of problem solving courts that exist, along with what kind of offenders they deal with. Furthermore, this paper will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of specialized problem-solving courts and whether they are truly effective.
There are a few court rulings that have had an impact on the juvenile courts. The case of in re Gault Gerald Gault and his friend made some prank phone calls to a neighbor and she recognized their voice and turned them in to the authorities. The two young men were arrested without notify their parents and went to trail where without a witness or representation he was found guilty and sentenced (Siegel, Schmalleger & Worrall, 2014). The Supreme Courts later decided that juveniles are due the same process as adults as far as having a counsel, have witness present at trial and no self-incrimination (Siegel, Schmalleger & Worrall, 2014). In re Winship set the standard for reasonable doubt in juvenile cases, Thompson v. Oklahoma and Roper v. Simmons set the age that a juvenile could be given the death penalty to 18 years of age (Siegel, Schmalleger & Worrall, 2014).
The third matter that you want me to comment is in regard your appointment as judicial conduct commissioner. Your previous career was a legal academic, you had held this position at the University of Adelaide since being admitted to the profession on 30th June 2008. Since that date, you have held a practising certificate. Your question is whether your appointment is valid or not. The Act has provision for the appointment of a judicial conduct commissioner. Section 7 of the Act is very clear on the appointment of the judicial conduct commissioner. Subsection 1 provides that the commissioner will be appointed by the governor for a term that does not exceed seven years and conditions to be determined by the governor. No person should hold that
From its early beginnings till present day, race and race matters (Bell, 1989, 1993; West, 1994) have been and continue to be a powerful variable in this country. Interestingly, one venue where race issues have been addressed and fought over has been this country’s judicial system. In fact, for close to two hundred years, it could be argued that the courts facilitated and sustained the marginalization of non-whites in this country. Two prominent 19th century court cases that set the foundation for said marginalization were the Dred Scott v Sandford and Plessy v Ferguson cases, both highlighting this country’s de jure segregation laws. Indeed, sociologist Joe Feagin, in his influential book, Racist America, writes, “Every part of the life cycle,
