Sit, Stay, Overturn: How New Canine Science Is Challenging Courtroom Convictions, Kerolls Gadelrab

Georgia Criminal Law Review

Courts increasingly rely on cadaver dog evidence in criminal trials, treating canine alerts as a reliable form of forensic evidence. This naive acceptance of cadaver dog evidence, coupled with courts’ continued application of out-dated admissibility standards, threatens to perpetuate wrongful convictions in an era of rapidly advancing scientific understanding. This Article argues that courts must develop a new framework for evaluating cadaver dog evidence that incorporates modern scientific research on ca-nine olfaction and scent detection capabilities. While scholars have extensively analyzed various forensic evidence standards post-Daubert, the literature has largely over-looked how recent scientific advances in understanding ca-nine olfaction should …

Expert In The Box: Keeping The Lid On Unchallenged Testimony, Derek L. Busch

Georgia Criminal Law Review

A juror with specialized knowledge carries the potential to infringe upon the trial rights of the accused, provided to them by the Sixth Amendment and incorporated to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. These rights include the right to an impartial jury and the right of confrontation, recognized since the founding of the first colonies. When a juror possesses relevant professional expertise or background information regarding evidence adduced at trial, there is a risk in how the juror will use this personal knowledge in deliberations. Particularly, there is a concern the juror will use their knowledge to add information, rather …

Officer-Created Jeopardy In Corrections: Rethinking Use-Of-Force Review After Barnes V. Felix, Dr. Hayden Smith

Georgia Criminal Law Review

Courts typically evaluate correctional uses of force by zooming in on the last seconds before impact, asking what an officer reasonably perceived at the “moment of threat.” That frame obscures a basic feature of jail and prison operations: officers’ pre-force tactical choices often create or sharply heighten the risks that force is later used to manage. Building on Barnes v. Felix’s rejection of a rigid moment-of-threat rule and the broader state-created-danger line, this Article argues that officer-created jeopardy should be treated as a central component of constitutional and institutional review in corrections. It shows how Barnes, read alongside DeShaney, Kingsley, …

Deepfakes, Deep Trouble: Navigating Legal Boundaries For Child Pornography Prosecution In The Age Of Ai, Alexandra Hoffman

Georgia Criminal Law Review

This Comment explores the evolving legal landscape of child pornography law as it pertains to “nudify” apps and other AI-generated content. It examines foundational cases in child pornography law that allowed child pornography materials to bypass First Amendment constraints, the “lascivious exhibition” standard, and recent precedents allowing courts to prosecute morphed images. This Comment analyzes the viability of prosecuting “nudify” images, arguing that a holistic approach focusing on the child’s overall harm is the best analytical framework rather than one that solely focuses on the sexual nature of the image. In doing so, it emphasizes that the identifiability of the …

Lessons Learned From An Experiential Learning Project In An “Exercise And Wellness For Special Populations” Course, Anita M. Gust

Educational Practices in Kinesiology

Experiential learning (EL) is a vital pedagogical approach in higher education and is an integral part of exercise science; however, research on its effectiveness within the discipline is limited. The purpose of this study was to 1) determine if an experiential learning project designed for an “Exercise and Wellness for Special Populations” course was effective for achieving the learner outcomes, and 2) to identify what additional lessons, beyond the course learning outcomes, were learned from the experiential learning project. In this retrospective study, students’ written reflections using the DEAL (Describe, Evaluate, Articulate Learning) model served as data. A content analysis …

The global COVID-19 pandemic has sparked ongoing discussions on how to manage its impact on teaching and learning processes. As a result, the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an alternative to traditional in-person learning has become essential. This study aimed to assess the technological needs of teachers and administrators in the post-COVID era to enhance the quality of education in public senior secondary schools in Ogun State. Four research questions and three hypotheses were addressed using three research instruments, with the reliability of these instruments confirmed via the Cronbach Alpha method (TTPUNAS = 0.85, ATNAS = 0.81, …

The Hypnagogic State And Hypnagogic Constraint Modulation In Ocd, Ari Rad

Academic Leadership Journal in Student Research

The past few decades of scholarly inquiries on the topic of the hypnagogic state and N1 sleep onset have introduced a new understanding of human general mentation. The underlying phenomenological, psychological, and neurological aspects of the hypnagogic state have been explored in depth by researchers. Hypnagogia and N1 sleep onset have been associated with creativity, spontaneous access to insights, symbolic representation of cognitive processes, and visual and auditory perceptions. The default mode network (DMN) has been largely associated with creativity and spontaneous thinking during N1 sleep onset. This paper reviews the basics of the neurology and phenomenology of N1 and …

Radicular Back And Abdominal Pain With Ileus, Rash, And Siadh In Lyme Neuroborreliosis, Joyce Y. Quon, Roberta Delvy, Kelly Goo, Maureen Haque, Sarita Soares, Donna M. Windish

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. Lyme neuroborreliosis occurs when systemic infection leads to neurologic involvement. Neuroborreliosis presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations but classically presents with facial nerve palsy. Here, we present a case with a rare constellation of symptoms including radicular back and abdominal pain, ileus, rash, and SIADH due to Lyme disease with suspected neuroborreliosis. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of Lyme disease, especially for patients in Lyme endemic areas.

When Broken Hearts Clot: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With Left Ventricular Thrombus, Ramez Alyacoub, Andy Veras Victoria

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives

Background: Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is a transient, stress-induced cardiomyopathy that mimics acute myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Although often self-limiting, TTS may lead to serious complications, including left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation.

Case Summary: A 73-year-old woman with a complex medical history was referred to the emergency department for an abnormal electrocardiogram. She reported transient dyspnea and indigestion but denied chest pain. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated elevated high-sensitivity troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide. Electrocardiography showed new diffuse T-wave inversions. Coronary angiography revealed non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated apical akinesis with a large LV …
