Criminal Law—Proximate Cause In Negligent Homicide, Gust S. Doces
Criminal Law—Proximate Cause In Negligent Homicide, Gust S. Doces
Washington Law Review
Defendant was charged with negligent homicide under RCW 46.56.0401 for causing the death of a pedestrian through the operation of a motor vehicle. The trial jury found the defendant guilty, but the trial judge entered an order arresting judgment and, in the alternative, granting a new trial. From this order the state appealed. In his trial memorandum, the judge ruled as a matter of law that the evidence was insufficient to show any causal relation between the defendant's state of intoxication and the resulting death to a pedestrian. The Washington Supreme Court in a 5-3 decision reversed and remanded with …

Criminal Law—Murder—Negligent Medical Treatment Intervening Between Defendant's Act And Decedent's Death, Charles B. Cooper
Criminal Law—Murder—Negligent Medical Treatment Intervening Between Defendant's Act And Decedent's Death, Charles B. Cooper
Washington Law Review
In reviewing a murder conviction, the Washington court recently was confronted with the problem of negligent medical treatment intervening between the defendant's act and the ensuing death. In affirming, the court apparently took the extreme position that proximate causation is solely a jury question, the inquiry on appeal being limited to a cause-in-fact analysis.
Thoughts On Capital Punishment, Arval Morris
Thoughts On Capital Punishment, Arval Morris
Washington Law Review
Legal practices vary in states which allow the death penalty, but a jury can usually levy or recommend life imprisonment. Nevertheless, capital punishment flourishes in states which provide the alternate penalty. In one way or another, this optional life-or-death feature of legal litany necessitates that jurymen answer: "Do you think this defendant ought to be killed?" Citizens shirk this decision and often refuse to serve on death penalty cases. If this practice of citizen disqualification becomes widespread, it may well raise the question eventually of whether the death penalty has systematically excluded citizens to such an extent that it no …

The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling
The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling
Washington Law Review
On September 5, 1928, James Eugene Bassett left his sister's home at Bremerton, Washington, with the intention of returning that evening, but was never seen again. Bassett's disappearance aroused nationwide interest and he was made the object of a most intensive but unavailing search. The unanswered question remains: Could a legally sufficient case be made against any defendant for the murder of Bassett, assuming overwhelming evidence of the defendant's connection with whatever catastrophe may have befallen him, but almost no independent evidence that he was dead and not merely missing? Due to an unfortunate chain of events, the question was …
