Too Ill To Be Killed: Mental And Physical Competency To Be Executed Pursuant To The Death Penalty, Linda A. Malone
Linda A. Malone
Mentally ill individuals are being housed in prisons and jails throughout the country. Due to decreased funding and overpopulation of correctional facilities, individuals with pre-existing illnesses, as well as others who develop illnesses, are in severe need of mental health services and punished for their ailments through the use of solitary confinement, long prison sentences, and lack of care. The stress created by such conditions is amplified for mentally ill prisoners who are awaiting execution or the dismissal of their death row sentences. These individuals must show that they are competent to stand trial, exhibit the mental state required for …

(Excerpt)
Section I of this Note discusses the prevalence of sexual assault in the military and why so many victims do not report their assault. It draws on the link between underreporting and a lack of corroborative evidence. However, for those assaults that are reported, Section I briefly describes the two types of reports and the advantages and disadvantages of each. It draws on statistics, studies, and personal narratives to determine the most common causes for a victim’s decision not to report his or her assault. This part briefly touches on how this problem is gender-neutral and not exclusive to …

#Metoo, Meet Inclusivity: Criminal Procedure In Sexual Assault Cases Should Include People With Intellectual Disabilities, Mercy Adoga
Fordham Undergraduate Law Review
This Note explores the legal history of criminal law involving sexual assault cases of persons with intellectual disabilities from 1989 to the present day. The nuances of this legal history will be analyzed through the lens of State v. Scherzer, otherwise known as the Glen Ridge case of 1989. This Note will analyze the effect the Glen Ridge case had on later cases, and how the criminal justice system continues to treat intellectually disabled survivors of sexual assault. Statistics show that people who have intellectual disabilities are more likely to be sexually assaulted, and that the conviction rate for these …

An examination of a range of judicial decisions involving sexual offender determinations reveals that, frequently, courts rely improperly on inaccurate and under-developed statistics as well as unverified and outdated information. This reliance, too often, underlies rulings that subject the sex offender to significant sanctions and loss of liberty. Additionally, the continuation of the testimonial script that all sex offenders are high recidivists, dangerous, compulsive and untreatable, contributes to the anti-therapeutic effect of shaming and humiliation. This results in isolation, seclusion, lack of dignity; also, it further trivializes the judicial process, and violates the tenants of therapeutic jurisprudence. Despite the “frightening …
