Robert Taliento handled and cashed the money orders on his machine. This was the story Taliento gave to the grand jury and John Giglio was prosecuted; Taliento was named a co-conspirator but not indicted on charges. Giglio requested for a new trial was denied by lower courts but The Supreme Court reversed it. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve whether the evidence that wasn’t revealed obligated a new trial under the due process standards that has been created in the Brady v. Maryland and Napue v. Illinois.
Case Citation: Maryland v. Pringle 540 U.S. 366 (2003) Parties: State of Maryland, Petitioner / Appellant Joseph Jermaine Pringle, Defendant / Appellee Facts: On the morning of August 7th, 1999 at 3:16 a.m., a Baltimore Police Officer conducted a stop on a passenger car for speeding. As the officer approached the car he noticed it was occupied by three males one of which was the respondent, Joseph Jermaine Pringle located in the front passenger seat. As the driver retrieved the vehicle’s proof of registration for the glove compartment located in front of Pringle, the officer noticed what appeared to be a large amount of currency rolled up in the glove compartment in plain view. After obtaining the driver’s license and registration, the police officer went back to his patrol car and conducted a check for warrants and prior traffic violations.
In this paper in criminal procedure, I will discuss a scenario in regards to extradition. Throughout this paper, I will address and answer the following questions: 1.) What procedural steps must the Orange County prosecutor take to extradite Hurst from Arizona? 2.) What procedural steps must the Orange County prosecutor take to extradite Brook from Mexico?
1. “African-American crime groups used the drug trade as much as their Irish, Jewish, and Italians predecessors used bootlegging” (Abadinsky, 2013, p.170). It wasn’t until the time of the Vietnam War that black crime groups were exposed and succeeded in the heroin business. Prior to the war Abadinsky (2013) explains that “black crime groups were dependent on American Mafia Families for their heroin” (p.170). In time, black crime groups were able to conduct business with suppliers in Thailand, without the American Mafia.
Leaders such as Mrs. Bailey and J.T show how those in authorities misuse their position and promote drug abuse, sexual intrigue and violence. For instance, Mrs. Bailey could pay young men to have sex with her (Venkatesh, 2009. C- Note is used to as an example of how the hustlers struggle with life as he does different types of jobs so as to earn some dollars for life. The author also shows how the police department is corrupt and how they are violent themselves instead of helping fight violence. This means that there are no appropriate measures in place to curb drug trafficking, crime and violence.
Both unexpected fighters in wars bigger than themselves, Malala Yousafzai and Ishmael Beah fight for their rights and most importantly, their lives. Each of their books displays very different stories. Malala tells a tale of being born into a world who wishes she was a boy and tries to deny her education. Because she spoke out about the issues in her home country of Pakistan she is shot in the head by the Taliban. Ishmael is thrown into the middle of a civil war where no side is any better than the other.
This made me think of Malala, as both share similar beliefs. Malala also believes that education is the most powerful tool. She also believes in God and prays to Him for help when needed. I think that everyone should have these same beliefs (except the last one, because of religious conflicts). If everyone did have them, I believe that most of the problems in the world would be solved.
Memorandum #2 To: Brother Packer Form: Jordon Haderlie Subject: Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) I have chosen to look deeper into the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act because it is something that I don’t know much about. I have always wondered how things work when this law was taken into effect and so I will be exploring the law its self and then looking at cases where it was used. (1)
Fighting crime is expensive, and civil forfeiture can be used to undermine criminal activity and reimburse local law enforcement “without the need to seek additional outside resources” (Worrall, 2008). Law enforcement agencies tend to struggle with budget cuts, so civil forfeiture offers a leg to stand on. In 2011, Holcomb, Kovandzi and Williams stated in their research “almost forty (40) percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed to the statement that civil forfeiture is ‘necessary as a budget supplement’” (p. 275). Though civil forfeiture is often associated with drug enforcement, it can be applied to a variety of crime control, including illegal drug markets, nuisance properties, street racing, drunk driving and prostitution (Worrall, 2008).
Disobedience is a virtue exhibited among those who grow weary of their current situation and take it upon themselves to stand on their conviction. Oscar Wilde’s observations throughout his 46 years of life are quite evident of this. The Irish author believed that social progress came about due to disobedience and rebellion. The likes of Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela and Susan B. Anthony are evident of this.
Melaben was performed in the mishkan for the wool. There are three methods that are considered laundering in Hilchos Shabbos: Wetting a garment, scrubbing a garment and, squeezing a wet garment. Another issue is dusting off a garment. “While the Gemara says that only applies to new, black, garments whose cleanliness you care about, the Achronim point out that those rules are only a function of how concerned a person is about their clothing.” Today most people care about the appearance of their clothing, especially their Shabbos clothing, we assume that you can dust off the clothing.
For instance, in New York City, reported a total of 6,902 cases of breaches. The judiciary dismissed 6,704 of all these cases dues to lack of ‘sufficient evidence.’ An additional 40 cases never underwent trial. This minimal action from the courts sent a clear message regarding the pervasive disrespect for the Prohibition law (even juries) and this would motivate more people to join criminal
