Criminal Justice In Germany, Hans Julius Wolff Jun 1944

Criminal Justice In Germany, Hans Julius Wolff

Michigan Law Review

Criminal law and procedure, perhaps even more than civil, reflect the underlying conceptions of the political system with which they are connected. The ideological structure of criminal procedure in Germany, as well as in other continental European states, rests on the historical development through which constitutional institutions in those countries have passed since the French Revolution. It mirrors the transformation of the all-powerful state of the period of absolutism into the liberal state with its guaranteed freedoms and rights of the individual and strict legal limits to the power of the authorities (Rechtsstaat); and in recent years it has adapted …

Criminal Law And Procedure - Remedies Available To Convicted Defendant When New Facts Are Found, Smith Warder Apr 1941

Criminal Law And Procedure - Remedies Available To Convicted Defendant When New Facts Are Found, Smith Warder

Michigan Law Review

Due to its haphazard growth and evolution, the Anglo-American system of jurisprudence occasionally left gaping defects in its general contours. Many of these defects have been and are being filled, both by statute and by the continuing development of the common law. However, there is one case which re-occurs with distressing frequency where no satisfactory remedy has been developed and where this lack of remedy can have unjust or even barbaric results.

Criminal Law And Procedure - Evidence - Dismissal Of Prosecution For Reference To Other Crimes Of Defendant, John Barker Waite Nov 1938

Criminal Law And Procedure - Evidence - Dismissal Of Prosecution For Reference To Other Crimes Of Defendant, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

Any discussion of Judge Pecora's declaration of a mistrial in People v. Hines must adhere firmly to the fundamental proposition that every accused person, no matter how evident his guilt nor how great the hostility toward him, is entitled to a fair trial, conducted in accord with established rules, and to the verdict of a jury uninfluenced by improper factors. But did the judge's ruling perhaps exceed what was reasonably necessary to assure the defendant of these essentials?


Criminal Law And Procedure - Appeal - Reversal Of Conviction Despite Guilt As Rebuke To The Administration Of Justice, Michigan Law Review Mar 1938

Criminal Law And Procedure - Appeal - Reversal Of Conviction Despite Guilt As Rebuke To The Administration Of Justice, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In a prosecution for murder the prosecuting attorney, in his opening address, improperly stated that the evidence would show that both defendants had previous records for burglary and robbery, had served time in penitentiaries, and that the state would ask that the two men be hanged on the basis of this and other evidence. No objection or move for a mistrial was made at the time by the defendants, nor was the court requested to instruct the jury to disregard the remarks. Defendants were unquestionably guilty of murder, the evidence for the state being conclusive, while that of the defendants …

Work Of England's Court Of Criminal Appeal, Arthur T. Vanderbilt Jan 1937

Work Of England's Court Of Criminal Appeal, Arthur T. Vanderbilt

Washington Law Review

This article, written by the Chairman of the New Jersey Judicial Council, was first published in the sixth annual report of that body and later reprinted in the October, 1936, Issue of the Journal of the American Judicature Society. So much has been written in non-legal publications in this country concerning the efficiency of the English administration of criminal law and procedure that It will undoubtedly be of interest to the bar to be informed more exactly on the subject by the more detailed and exact research and comment of a member of the legal profession. With that idea in …


Constitutional Law - Federal Criminal Procedure - Short Form Indictment, James H. Roberton Jan 1937

Constitutional Law - Federal Criminal Procedure - Short Form Indictment, James H. Roberton

Michigan Law Review

It is the purpose of this comment to discuss the validity under the Federal Constitution of an indictment, drawn in accordance with the proposed code, which would merely accuse the defendant of having committed some kind of "offense," and would leave the particulars of the offense to a bill of particulars.

The Right Of Appeal In Criminal Cases, Lester B. Orfield May 1936

The Right Of Appeal In Criminal Cases, Lester B. Orfield

Michigan Law Review

In the conduct of a criminal proceeding certain steps are regarded as essential. The accused must be brought before the court. There must be a preliminary investigation to insure that the case is one which should be prosecuted. Notice must be given to the accused of the offense charged. He must have an opportunity to prepare for trial, procure witnesses, and make needed investigations. He should have a speedy trial. He should have a fair trial before an impartial tribunal. Finally, there should be one review of the case as a whole by a suitable tribunal. The principle of a …

The Investigating Magistrate (Juge D'Instruction) In European Criminal Procedure, Morris Ploscowe May 1935

The Investigating Magistrate (Juge D'Instruction) In European Criminal Procedure, Morris Ploscowe

Michigan Law Review

For nearly five centuries the distinctive figure in the preliminary stages of European criminal proceedings has been the investigating magistrate, known in France as the juge d'instruction. Although temporarily eclipsed by the revolutionary reforms in France in 1791, he was soon re-established. In other European countries the juge d'instruction continued to be the central figure in the preliminary procedure through all the reforms achieved by the liberal movements of the nineteenth century. The investigating magistrate has remained a purely Continental institution. In theory and in practice he embodies the essential difference between Continental and Anglo-American criminal procedure preliminary to trial.

Criminal Law And Procedure - Sufficiency Of Information Mar 1933

Criminal Law And Procedure - Sufficiency Of Information

Michigan Law Review

In an information for murder, after a definite statement of time and place it was charged that the defendant "did then and there . . . shoot, wound and kill" the deceased. On appeal from the order of the lower court overruling his demurrer to the information, the defendant contended that the information was defective in that it failed to allege death within a year and a day or that the deceased died in the county where the information was filed. Held, both time and place were sufficiently stated and the demurrer was properly overruled. State v. Stone, …


Criminal Law - Federal Removal Proceedings - Conclusiveness Of The Indictment Apr 1932

Criminal Law - Federal Removal Proceedings - Conclusiveness Of The Indictment

Michigan Law Review

A vexatious question, and one which frequently arises in proceedings for removal from one federal district to another for trial, is to what extent the courts will go in weighing the force of the evidence against the accused. The government, when asking removal, presents to the court or commissioner a copy of the indictment found in the district to which removal is asked, and frequently rests on this, after giving evidence that the defendant is the party named in the indictment. The defendant, on the other hand, usually presents a mass of evidence, relevant and irrelevant, in an endeavor to …
