How Do Prosecutors "Send A Message"?, Steven Arrigg Koh

Faculty Scholarship

The recent indictments of former President Trump are stirring national debate about their effects on American society. Commentators speculate on the cases’ impact outside of the courtroom — on the 2024 election, on political polarization, and on the future of American democracy. Such cases originated in the prosecutor’s office, begging the question of if, when, and how prosecutors should consider the societal effects of the cases they bring.

Indeed, prosecutors often publicly claim that they “send a message” when they indict a defendant. What, exactly, does this mean? Often, their assumption is that such messaging goes in one direction: indictment …

Counting Offenses, Jeffrey M. Chemerinsky

Duke Law Journal

Is a criminal defendant who discharges a weapon five times in rapid succession guilty of one crime or several crimes? This question of how to divide charges has vexed legal philosophers and Supreme Court Justices. It is a question of profound importance, but one that legal scholarship has seldom addressed. The answer has an impact on each stage of a criminal justice prosecution. The difference between one charge and multiple charges can affect the likelihood of a plea bargain, the strategy for trial, and, if the defendant is convicted, the length of a prison sentence. This Note, citing numerous examples …

Troubled Indictments At The Special Court For Sierra Leone: The Pleading Of Joint Criminal Enterprise And Sex-Based Crimes, Cecily E. Rose

Cecily E. Rose

This article argues that the indictments at the Special Court for Sierra Leone have pleaded joint criminal enterprise and sex-based crimes in ways that threaten the rights of the accused to notice of the charges against them. While the Taylor Indictment neglects to outline the purpose of the joint criminal enterprise in which the accused allegedly took part, the Prosecution’s recent arguments in this respect have further confused the matter. In addition, the RUF and AFRC Indictments alleged forced marriage without clearly indicating what crime such conduct would violate. Although the Appeals Chamber provided guidance on the issues of joint …

Rico, Merger, And Double Jeopardy, Earle A. Partington

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will examine RICO as it has been interpreted by the United States Courts of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States in an effort to determine the effects that merger and double jeopardy have had in the past, and should have in the future, upon RICO prosecutions. Because the doc- trines of merger and double jeopardy are criminal law principles, only the criminal aspects of RICO will be examined. Initially, this Article will explore the purpose and history of RICO and examine the doctrines of merger and double jeopardy and their application to RICO indictments and …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Statute Of Limitations - Time Of Commission Of Offense Matter Of Defense Or Of Jurisdiction

Michigan Law Review

Defendant pleaded guilty to rape and was sentenced to imprisonment upon an indictment which showed upon its face that the period allowed by the statute of limitations had elapsed since the offense charged had been committed, and there were no allegations setting forth an exception to the running of the statute. Later, defendant moved to set aside the judgment on the ground that the court lacked jurisdiction. Held, the judgment was void and the defendant should be released. People v. McGee, (Cal. 1934) 36 Pac. (2d) 378.

United States v. Willard, (D. C. W.D.Mich.No.4057, September 27, 1934) 2 U.S.LAW WEEK, index p. 99.

Constitutional Law-Validity Of The Eighteenth Amendment

Michigan Law Review

Defendants were indicted for violation of the National Prohibition Act, and on motion to quash they argued that the Eighteenth Amendment under which this statute was enacted conferred new direct powers upon the United States and, within the intent of Article V of the Constitution, could not be properly ratified except by convention. The lower court, on a theory of political interpretation, agreed; indictment quashed. On appeal to the Supreme Court it was held, that the Eighteenth Amendment was lawfully ratified by a method clearly and unequivocally left to the election of Congress. United States v. Sprague, U. …
