While it is still highly debated whether or not Sacco and Vanzetti were indeed innocent, the fact that conflict and debate surrounding the case in its day has failed to die out demonstrates just what lack of evidence there really was and still is. The proclamation made by the Massachusetts governor in 1977 was correct in saying that Sacco and Vanzetti did not deserve such unjust fate. People 's’ minds were unfortunately clouded with the hatred of anarchism and immigrants, and such bias cannot morally be afforded when determining the outcome of another’s
The OJ Simpson murder case was a criminal trial held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, in which former NFL player OJ Simpson was tried on two counts of murder for the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. He was found not guilty even though there were numerous counts of evidence that showed that OJ was the one who killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. OJ Simpson should have been guilty of murdering Nicole because there was DNA evidence, he had dreams of killing Nicole Simpson, and jealousy could have been the motive that led him to kill Nicole. There was blood found at the crime scene that traced back to OJ’s DNA. Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor of the murder case, revealed that a blood drop found near the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman has been linked to OJ Simpson through RFLP testing - the highest level of DNA examination, commonly known as a genetic fingerprint.
Dear Jury Members:Mr.Bennett should not be found not guilty of murder because reasonable doubt is found. Although the prosecution thinks that Mr.Bennet is guilty for murder, they are wrong because since Mr.Alfario is an exterminator he had access to the poison that killed Mr.Adams, Mrs.Reid thought that when Mr.Adams died that she would inherit all his wealth, and the reason Mr. Bennett had poison on his hands because he had touched the puddle of coffee while checking Mr.Adams pulse on accident. To begin, Mr Bennett is not guilty because Mr Alfario had access to the poison, the same poison that killed Mr.adams. The police found out that Mr.Adams had died from rat poisoning and a coffee cup was found by Mr.Adams’s dead body, the cup contained rat poison.

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a criminal law that prohibits the knowing and willful payment of direct or indirect “remuneration”, to induce or reward patient referrals or the generation of business that involves any service or items payable by the Federal health care programs (e.g., drugs, supplies, or health care services for Medicare or Medicaid patients).[1] Remuneration can incorporate anything of value and can be of any form other than cash, for example travel tours, expenses for lavish hotel stays or immoderate compensation for medical consultations or referrals. In some industries, it is allowed to give compensation or reward to those who refer business. But, in the health care, referral is a
On Target, Inc., 353 Md. 544 (1999) is distinguishable because in that case criminals stole firearms that were used in a murder from defendant. Byrne, however, fails to appreciate that the means by which the criminals came into possession of the firearms was not outcome determinative in that case. Indeed, supposed the criminals had purchased rather than stole the firearms at issue, and the well-established principles with regard to an individual’s liability for the criminal activity of a third party would nevertheless have still applied to compel the same result. Rather, the material fact in Valentine was that—similar to this case—was that the firearms distributor could not be liable for the criminal’s conduct unless the distributor had a means by which to control the conduct of the criminal. Likewise, in this case—irrespective of their prior relationship—the Co-Owners cannot be liable for Hannon’s criminal activities because they had no means by which to control Hannon’s
Think of a crime, any crime, the text asks you. Most people don’t imagine a corporation ignoring safety protocol, a town knowingly allowing its residents to drink lead-contaminated water, a doctor doing an unnecessary operation, or the wealthy ignoring the poor’s needs.

Police corruption has been the largest ongoing problem in the United States criminal justice system.

The idea of taking away a criminal's right to vote has been around since ancient Greece and Rome. A condition called "civil death" in Europe involved the forfeiture of property, the loss of the right to appear in court, and a prohibition on entering into contracts, as well as the loss of voting rights. Civil death was brought to America by English colonists, but most features of it were eventually abolished, leaving only felon disenfranchisement intact in some parts of modern America. The United States is one of the world’s most unyielding nations when it comes to denying the right to vote to citizens convicted of serious crimes.
The Felony Murder Rule Haley Roemmich Peru State College The Felony Murder Rule INTRODUCTION The felony murder doctrine is the legal principle which provides that any death that occurs during the commission of a felony or attempted felony can be legally treated as a murder. This doctrine holds true regardless of whether there was intent to kill. The felony murder doctrine represents one the few instances in criminal law where the element of intent is waived (Garoupa & Klick, 2006).
Prosecutors have begun to change their process for screening, investigating, and prosecuting certain criminal offenses; emphasize intelligence collection; and pay increased attention to precursor crimes such as identity theft, fraudulent documents creation, and money laundering. More prosecutors will develop a well-defined role for their offices in responding to terrorism as they have an opportunity to use the updated legislation. While we still have a long way to go we are trying hard to correct the problems we still face today involving terrorism we as a country need to strengthen all relationships with the law enforcement , the public and outside countries that could pose a
“Citizens who have recieved satisfaction from law enforcement with respect to white-collar crime are probably more likely to report crime, be stand-up complaining witnesses, and generally cooperate with police[more often]”(Organization of Agency Efforts to Combat White-Collar Crime, Pg. 6). With the elimination of the FBI’s white-collar crime division, white-collar appropriation will be handled more effectively as more information will be passed and criminals will be arrested. This boosts public opinion as these people “recieve satisfaction” from the arrest made to white-collar criminals. “Citizens entire attitude toward government could be improved by satisfactory contacts with anti-white-collar crime enforcement[Securities and Exchange Commisions] efforts”(Organization of Agency Efforts to Combat White-Collar Crime, Pg. 6). With the FBI granting information to the SEC and the SEC working tirelessly to connect people to a white-collar crime and arresting them, it enhances public opinion which can make people more willing to help.
