Plea Bargains That Waive Claims Of Ineffective Assistance - Waiving Padilla And Frye, Nancy J. King

Duquesne Law Review

In a criminal justice system where procedural rights are freely traded for sentencing and charging concessions, each heralded decision of the Supreme Court enforcing or expanding a right of the accused produces yet another bargaining chip for the defense. As rights expand, so do waivers of the opportunity to enforce those rights on review. As one court stated, the government "enters into plea agreements to avoid costly litigation, not to postpone it." It was, then, unsurprising when, amid the accolades for the Court's decisions in Missouri v. Frye and Lafler v. Cooper, one exprosecutor suggested that defendants should have …

Lafler And Frye: Two Small Band-Aids For A Festering Wound, Albert W. Alschuler

Duquesne Law Review

Imagine that you are on death row, and imagine that the incompetence of your lawyer has put you there. A witness at your trial testified that you waited at the wheel of a getaway car while two accomplices robbed a liquor store and one of them shot and killed the clerk. Shortly after your arrest, the prosecutor offered to permit you and your co-defendants to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter and armed robbery. This offer would have limited your sentence to 25 years. Your co-defendants, including the alleged triggerman, accepted the offer. You would have accepted the offer too if …

So You're Sorry? The Role Of Remorse In Criminal Law, Rocksheng Zhong

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The role of remorse in judicial decisions in the criminal justice system has been addressed in scholarship and remains controversial. The purpose of this qualitative research was to examine the views of seated criminal judges about remorse, its assessment, and its relevance in their decision-making. After exemption by the IRB, 23 judges were interviewed using an open-ended format. Transcriptions of these audio-recorded sessions were analyzed phenomenologically by members of the research team. The results showed that judges varied widely in their views about the assessment of remorse and its relevance in judicial decision-making. Judges generally agreed that remorse was a …

Only Fools Who Send Hyenas To Roast Meat For Them: In Search Of The Doctrinal Foundations Of The Not-So-Ordinary Crime Of Patrimonicide, Ndiva Kofele-Kale

Florida A & M University Law Review

Crimes against humanity are generally considered crimes of such unimaginable horror that they shock the conscience of mankind. The Article challenges the international community to take a mental leap by recognizing that the contemporary version of official corruption is so fundamentally different from its historical antecedents that it deserves to (a) be called a different name: indigenous spoliation or patrimonicide; and (b), to be treated as an extraordinary crime that rises up to the level of a crime against humanity. Towards this end, the Article reviews the basic elements of a crime against humanity identified in various legal instruments, and …

The Double-Edged Sword Of Prison Video Visitation: Claiming To Keep Families Together While Furthering The Aims Of The Prison Industrial Complex, Patrice A. Fulcher

Florida A & M University Law Review

Each year, the United States ("U.S.") spends billions to house the country's massive prison population. The need to board over 2.3 million incarcerated human beings has U.S. correctional departments looking for ways to increase revenues and offset costs. According to these correctional agencies, one major expense is prison visitation. In order to reduce spending and alleviate safety concerns, U.S. federal, state, and private correctional facilities have turned to video visitation as an alternative to in-person visits. The use of prison video visitation systems started in 1995. Since then, many private telecommunications companies have professed to have the solution to correctional …

Security Risks And Protection In Online Learning: A Survey, Yong Chen, Wu He

Distance Learning Faculty & Staff Publications

This paper describes a survey of online learning which attempts to determine online learning providers' awareness of potential security risks and the protection measures that will diminish them. The authors use a combination of two methods: blog mining and a traditional literature search. The findings indicate that, while scholars have identified diverse security risks and have proposed solutions to mitigate the security threats in online learning, bloggers have not discussed security in online learning with great frequency. The differences shown in the survey results generated by the two different methods confirm that online learning providers and practitioners have not considered …

Ensuring Effective Counsel For Parents: Extending Padilla To Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings, Sarah Freeman

Hofstra Law Review

The increase in the number of incarcerated women, combined with the severe effects of ASFA's 15/22 rule, has dramatically increased the risk that a incarcerated mother face a termination of her parental rights. Currently, existing ethical and statutory protections have been insufficient to protect these parents’ rights to their children. However, after Padilla v. Kentucky, it is likely that there is a Sixth Amendment obligation on criminal defense attorneys to advise their clients about the effect of the criminal process on a TPR proceeding. This advice should not be limited to a mere suggestion that clients seek legal advice from …

State V. Worthen: Demonstrating Utah's Need For An Expanded, Absolute Victim-Counselor Testimonial Privilege, Barry G. Stratford

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

Evidentiary privileges have generated disagreement since they were first recognized in the law. These privileges exist to prevent a witness from being compelled to disclose certain information. Such protections acknowledge that certain relationships or communications are so important in society that they warrant heightened confidentiality. A number of privileges are designed to protect communications made during professional relationships. These include the relationship between attorney and client, physician and patient, psychotherapist and patient, and clergyman and penitent. In practice, these privileges require “some sacrifice of availability of evidence relevant to the administration of justice.” When parties seek communications and records arising …

Removing The Presumption Of Innocence: A Constitutional Analysis Of The Ogden Trece Gang Injunction, Megan K. Baker

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

Gang activity poses a substantial problem in many communities. The city of Ogden, Utah, is home to many gangs, and law enforcement is constantly looking for a way to decrease gang violence. In an attempt to reduce gang violence in Ogden, Judge Ernie Jones issued the Ogden Trece gang injunction on September 27, 2010, in Weber County, Utah. The injunction, based on several similar injunctions in California, affects hundreds of alleged Ogden Trece gang members and spans an area including virtually the entire city of Ogden. The injunction prohibits those enjoined from engaging in various illegal activities as well as …

Florence V. Board Of Chosen Freeholders: Police Power Takes A More Intrusive Turn, Wayne A. Logan

Scholarly Publications

This essay discusses the Supreme Court’s 2012 decision in Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders allowing strip searches of minor offense arrestees without any suspicion that they possess a weapon or contraband. After summarizing the Court’s holding, the essay explores how Florence builds upon prior caselaw affording police virtually unlimited discretionary authority to execute warrantless arrests, and the unlikelihood that institutional limits will be placed on the strip search authority of corrections officials.
