Twist And Shout And Truth Will Out: An Argument For The Adoption Of A "Safety-Valve" Exception To The Washington Hearsay Rule, George R. Nock Oct 1988

Twist And Shout And Truth Will Out: An Argument For The Adoption Of A "Safety-Valve" Exception To The Washington Hearsay Rule, George R. Nock

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will focus on two decisions of the Washington Supreme Court illustrating the unfortunate expansion of certain hearsay exceptions in order to accommodate truth, show that the expansion could have been avoided had Washington adopted a "general" exception comparable to that found in the Federal Rules of Evidence, and propose the adoption of an exception shorn of the defects of the rejected federal version.


Balancing The Right To Confrontation And The Need To Protect Child Sexual Abuse Victims: Are Statutes Authorizing Televised Testimony Serving Their Purpose?, Kimberley Seals Bressler Oct 1988

Balancing The Right To Confrontation And The Need To Protect Child Sexual Abuse Victims: Are Statutes Authorizing Televised Testimony Serving Their Purpose?, Kimberley Seals Bressler

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment begins by providing a brief outline of the procedures regulating the use of televised testimony. Next, against the larger backdrop of the history of the right to confrontation, Part III addresses the treatment of televised testimony as hearsay. This section presents a recent Maryland decision as an illustration of the undesirable analogy of televised testimony to hearsay that leads to a more difficult admission standard. Part III concludes with the argument that televised testimony is the functional equivalent of in-court testimony, and thus, a hearsay analysis is inappropriate. Part IV of this Comment presents a recent Supreme Court …


Behaviour Alteration, The Law Reform Commission And The Courts: An Ethical Perspective, Eike-Henner W. Kluge Oct 1988

Behaviour Alteration, The Law Reform Commission And The Courts: An Ethical Perspective, Eike-Henner W. Kluge

Dalhousie Law Journal

The Law Reform Commission of Canada, in its Working Paper 43 Behaviour Alteration and the Criminal Law, addresses the issue of the deliberate modification of human behaviour by medical means. It does so vis-A-vis non-consensual treatment prescribed in the purely therapeutic setting as well as with respect to such treatment imposed by way of sentencing. The Commission focuses its deliberations around three questions: 1. Do present laws provide sufficient protection against involuntary or non-consensual administration of behaviour alteration treatment? 2. Should psychological integrity be protected by the Criminal Code as physical integrity already is? 3. Should the law legitimate the …

The Concurrent Sentence Doctrine Dies A Quiet Death -- Or Are The Reports Greatly Exaggerated?, Anne S. Emanuel Jul 1988

The Concurrent Sentence Doctrine Dies A Quiet Death -- Or Are The Reports Greatly Exaggerated?, Anne S. Emanuel

Florida State University Law Review

The concurrent sentence doctrine is a judicially-created rule of criminal procedure. In this article, Professor Emanuel traces the history of the doctrine from its roots in eighteenth-century England to its current status in state and federal courts. Recently, the United States Supreme Court effectively forestalled the use of the doctrine in any federal felony conviction; however, Professor Emanuel argues that the doctrine remains viable in collateral actions for postconviction relief from federal convictions and in state couts.

Social And Racial Tolerance And Freedom Of Expression In A Democratic Society: Friends Or Foes? Regina V. Zundel, Stefan Braun

Dalhousie Law Journal

In Regina v. Zundel the Ontario Court of Appeal held that s. 177 of the Canadian Criminal Code, entitled "Spreading false news," did not contravene the guarantee of freedom of expression under s. 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms3 and that even if it did, it constituted a permissible regulation under s. 1 of the Charter. Section 177 of the Code punishes "everyone who wilfully publishes a statement, tale, or news that he knows is false and that causes or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public interest." The defendant was charged under the section …
