Evidence-The Unchastity Of A Female Witness As A Ground For Impeaching Her Veracity
Evidence-The Unchastity Of A Female Witness As A Ground For Impeaching Her Veracity
Michigan Law Review
The underlying question which we propose to consider is this: Has the trait of chastity any such definite correlation with that of veracity that courts are justified in using the former as a criterion of the latter? It must be apparent from even a brief survey of the decisions in this field, and the reasons given therefor, that on this question the courts are swayed far more than ordinarily by their emotional reactions. Buttressed with sentiments that cannot fail to stir the heart of the male in any monogamous community and riveted with references to religion as well as the …
Appeal And Error - Raising Insufficiency Of Defense For First Time On Appeal
Appeal And Error - Raising Insufficiency Of Defense For First Time On Appeal
Michigan Law Review
In defense to plaintiff's action for wages defendant pleaded facts showing an agreement whereby plaintiff was to accept $4,000 in full satisfaction of her claim. The jury found that no such agreement had been made and rendered a verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $7,500. On appeal by defendant the case was sent back for a new trial because of an error in the admission of evidence offered by plaintiff as to the existence of the alleged agreement. Appellee contended that notwithstanding the error the judgment should be affirmed because the agreement pleaded, even if proved, would not constitute …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Conspiracy - Conviction Of Woman Transported In Violation Of Mann Act
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, a man and woman, were indicted and convicted under the conspiracy statute for conspiring together to violate the Mann Act, the only evidence of the woman's cooperation being her mere consent to transportation for immoral purposes. The conviction was affirmed by the court of appeals, and reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction of the woman. Gebardi v. United States, (U.S. 1932), 53 Sup. Ct. 35.
Jury-Evidence-Privilege Of Jury Deliberations
Jury-Evidence-Privilege Of Jury Deliberations
Michigan Law Review
The extent to which affidavits of jurors anent proceedings in the jury room can be used, when not aimed at impeaching their verdict, is a question upon which there is little affirmative authority. The law seems clear since Bushell's case that a juror cannot be punished for his finding of fact; what is more, his vote within the jury room as well as his debates seem to be privileged absolutely on grounds of policy.
Criminal Law And Procedure - Evidence - Presumptions
Criminal Law And Procedure - Evidence - Presumptions
Michigan Law Review
The Alien Land Law of California forbids the acquisition of real property for agricultural purposes by aliens ineligible to citizenship; amendment 9b provides that proof of the acquisition of land by the defendant and of his being a member of a race ineligible to United States citizenship raises the presumption of ineligibility to citizenship against the defendant, and the burden is on him to show citizenship or eligibility thereto. Defendants, an American and a Japanese, were indicted for conspiracy to violate the act. No evidence as to the birthplace of the Japanese was adduced by either side, and both were …
Criminal Law And Procedure - Searches And Seizures - Sufficiency Of Description In Warrant
Criminal Law And Procedure - Searches And Seizures - Sufficiency Of Description In Warrant
Michigan Law Review
Prosecuted for unlawful possession of liquor, defendant moved to suppress the evidence on the ground that the following description in the warrant, under authority of which the liquor was seized, fails sufficiently to describe the premises searched: " . . . on the northwest cor. in Block 'A,' Robinson Addition in the City or Town of Elk City (Cor. 9th and Oliver Sts. Beckham County, State of Oklahoma)." Block A was originally not subdivided and was without streets. It was later subdivided and 9th and Oliver Streets crossed near the center of the block. The house searched was on Lot …
