Review Of H.L.A. Hart, The Morality Of The Criminal Law, Oxford University Press (1965), Stanley Z. Fisher
Review Of H.L.A. Hart, The Morality Of The Criminal Law, Oxford University Press (1965), Stanley Z. Fisher
Faculty Scholarship
This slim volume contains the text of two lectures given by Professor Hart at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1964. The first lecture, "Changing Conceptions of Responsibility," expresses concern at the turn in which the "liberal" criminal law reform movement in England has taken in connection with the law of criminal responsibility. Professor Hart takes issue with the stand of a leading reformer, Lady Wootton, who advocates abolition of the mens rea prerequisite to penal liability. In her view, the mental state of a harm-doer is relevant not to determining his penal liability (conviction), but only to the decision …
Habeas Corpus--Custody And Release From Custody Requirements Of Habeas Corpus--Viability Of Mcnally V. Hill In The Moden Context, Michigan Law Review
Habeas Corpus--Custody And Release From Custody Requirements Of Habeas Corpus--Viability Of Mcnally V. Hill In The Moden Context, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Section 2241 of Title 28 of the United States Code requires that a petitioner for a writ of habeas corpus be "in custody." As a corollary of the "custody" requirement, the common law tradition required that the effect of the writ must be the petitioner's "release from custody.'' Because the United States Constitution and the federal habeas corpus statutes guarantee the availability of the writ in general terms, it is to the common law that the courts have consistently turned for the definition of these terms and for the restrictive effect of these requirements on the availability of the writ …

Constitutionality Of Conviction Under Narcotics Possession Statute, Anon
Constitutionality Of Conviction Under Narcotics Possession Statute, Anon
Washington Law Review
Defendant was convicted of the felony of possession of a narcotic without a prescription, and was sentenced to serve a maximum term of twenty years. Defendant claimed that, on the same facts, the prosecutor could have charged the defendant with the gross misdemeanor of illegal use of narcotic drugs. Defendant argued that this vests discretion in the prosecutor to charge either a felony or a gross misdemeanor, and that this discretion is violative of the equal protection clauses of the Washington and United States constitutions. On appeal, the Washington Supreme Court affirmed the conviction. Held: The gross misdemeanor of illegal …

Exposure To Unrelated But Inadmissible Evidence Constitutes Reversible Error, Anon
Washington Law Review
Defendant was charged with unlawful possession of burglary tools, and fraudulent attempt to obtain narcotics. With agreement of defense counsel, the charges were consolidated for trial. At the close of the state's case, the trial court granted defendant's motion to suppress evidence relating to the burglary tools charge because it was obtained by an illegal search, dismissed the charge of unlawful possession of burglary tools, and instructed the jury to disregard all evidence or inferences concerning that charge. The trial court denied defendant's motion for a mistrial, and he was subsequently convicted of fraudulent attempt to obtain narcotics. On appeal, …

Criminal Law: Right To Counsel—Critical Stage Test In Non-Confession Cases, Anon
Washington Law Review
Defendant was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, a misdemeanor. After being taken to jail, his requests to call an attorney were denied in accordance with a police department regulation. Defendant's counsel submitted that, if contacted, he would have ordered a chemical, blood-alcohol test administered by a physician. Convicted in police court and superior court, defendant appealed to the Washington Supreme Court, which reversed and dismissed the charges. Held: The time immediately following arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol is a "critical stage" in criminal proceedings, during which defendant is entitled to counsel under the sixth …

Federal Habeas Corpus Jurisdiction—The Undeveloped Areas, David F. Berger
Federal Habeas Corpus Jurisdiction—The Undeveloped Areas, David F. Berger
Washington Law Review
This comment is concerned with habeas corpus jurisdiction in terms of its availability and issuance in behalf of persons physically restrained by the exercise of federal authority other than article III federal courts. Restraint by article III courts is excluded from discussion because the federal Habeas Corpus Act of 19486 fully covers those cases by specific provisions for relief of persons convicted and confined as a result of criminal proceedings in state or federal district courts. Thus, uncertainties as to habeas corpus availability and issuance only exist in regard to "non-article III"' restraint.
Juror Misconduct: Availability Of A Hearing On Alleged Illegal View, Anon
Juror Misconduct: Availability Of A Hearing On Alleged Illegal View, Anon
Washington Law Review
Defendants were convicted of attempted burglary in the third degree and possession of burglar's instruments. Their counsel moved for a new trial, on his own affidavit, deposing that certain jurors had told him of an unauthorized visit during the trial to the scene of defendants' alleged crime, apparently in order to better understand the evidence. Denial of defendants' motion for a new trial was affirmed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and—on appeal to the New York Court of Appeals—again affirmed. Held: Affidavit of defense counsel that certain jurors had reported an unauthorized visit during a trial to …
A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison
A Critical View Of The Uniform Crime Reports, Sophia M. Robison
Michigan Law Review
No one would deny that the FBI performs a vital function in investigating, identifying, and tracking down suspects who may endanger the life, liberty, and property of Americans. However, this writer feels that the Uniform Crime Reports published by the FBI should be subjected to a very critical analysis. Of primary concern are the indiscriminate acceptance of the official data by legislators and social science investigators and the doubtful inferences which a frightened public draws from news releases proclaiming that "the U.S. is sitting on a seething volcano of crime."

Use Of Record Of Criminal Conviction In Subsequent Civil Action Arising From The Same Facts As The Prosecution, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The overwhelming majority of courts considering the issue without the aid of pertinent legislation have held that a record of a prior criminal conviction may not be used against a convicted person in subsequent civil proceedings arising from the same facts as the criminal prosecution but to which the state is not a party. It is admissible neither as evidence of the facts underlying it, nor as the basis of an estoppel preventing the convicted party from relitigating those issues which must have been decided against him in the criminal trial for the judge or jury to have found him …
