Violent Teeth: The Validity And Scientific Basis For Bite Mark Evidence, Kapka Dimitrova Pchelarova
Violent Teeth: The Validity And Scientific Basis For Bite Mark Evidence, Kapka Dimitrova Pchelarova
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Bite marks have become widely used in criminal-cases in the last 10 years due to the fact that greater public attention to dental hygiene and professional dentistry record keeping has increased the number of dental x-rays used for compariSon Dental evidence is accepted in courts, but its validity and the scientific basis for its use as evidence, has been questioned. One problem is the wide variety of dental techniques described in the literature and the lack of direction from both European and American forensic dental organizations; The paper explores the history of scientific evidence, addresses the evidence standards presented in …

Maintaining The Adversarial System: The Practice Of Allowing Jurors To Question Witnesses During Trial, Kristen Debarba
Maintaining The Adversarial System: The Practice Of Allowing Jurors To Question Witnesses During Trial, Kristen Debarba
Vanderbilt Law Review
A defendant sits in the witness stand undergoing examination by his attorney. He is accused of armed robbery, among other criminal acts. During the course of the defendant's testimony, a juror blurts out that he has a question. The judge tells the juror to write his question down and advises the juror that he will be able to ask his question upon completion of the attorneys' examinations. When the juror's question is finally asked, the judge indicates to the defendant's attorney that the attorney should address the matter raised by the juror on reexamination. During the reexamination, the attorney turns …
The Fifth Amendment And Compelled Production Of Personal Documents After United States V. Hubbel - New Protection For Private Papers, Lance Cole
Faculty Scholarly Works
This Article addresses a long-unresolved issue in criminal and constitutional law: Does the Fifth Amendment provide any protection against compelled production of incriminating personal documents in the possession of an individual who is a subject or target of a criminal investigation? The Supreme Court has not definitively addressed this important question, and the case law reflects deep disagreement on an issue of great significance to criminal law enforcement. The issue has been unresolved since 1976, when the Supreme Court redefined the scope of the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination in Fisher v. United States and held that the privilege does …
A Defendant's Right To Exculpatory Evidence: Does The Constitutional Duty To Disclose Exculpatory Evidence Extend To New Evidence Discovered Post-Conviction, Todd E. Jaworksy
A Defendant's Right To Exculpatory Evidence: Does The Constitutional Duty To Disclose Exculpatory Evidence Extend To New Evidence Discovered Post-Conviction, Todd E. Jaworksy
St. Thomas Law Review
This note will first address Brady and the modifications made to the disclosure law by subsequent cases. Second, this note will explain the ethical obligations concerning a prosecutor's duty to disclose exculpatory evidence post-conviction as set out by the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Third, this note will critically examine various case law in which the constitutional duty to disclose is seemingly extended to encompass post-conviction, newly discovered exculpatory evidence in the hands of the prosecutor. Finally, this note will conclude with an analysis and opinion of the disclosure law, discussing why the constitutional duty should be extended post-conviction.
The Ethics Of Evidence, J. Alexander Tanford
The Ethics Of Evidence, J. Alexander Tanford
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Professor J. Alexander Tanford offers a unique perspective on the ethics of evidence, illustrated by examples of his own personal experiences as well as excerpts from film and literature. This Article is a must read for any litigator as it addresses the issue of where the line is to be drawn regarding evidence in the courtroom.
Hearsay Exceptions: Adjusting The Ratio Of Intuition To Psychological Science, John E. B. Myers, Ingrid Cordon, Simona Ghetti, Gail S. Goodman
Hearsay Exceptions: Adjusting The Ratio Of Intuition To Psychological Science, John E. B. Myers, Ingrid Cordon, Simona Ghetti, Gail S. Goodman
Law and Contemporary Problems
Myers explores hearsay exeptions by examining three exceptions: excited utterances, statements for purposes of diagnosis or treatment, and the residual hearsay exception. The focus is child declarants, and these exceptions play key roles in child abuse litigation.
Good Enough For Government Work: The Constitutional Duty To Preserve Forensic Interviews Of Child Victims, Lucy S. Mcgough
Good Enough For Government Work: The Constitutional Duty To Preserve Forensic Interviews Of Child Victims, Lucy S. Mcgough
Law and Contemporary Problems
McGough proceeds with the confidence on the premise that a forensic interview of a child by a member of the prosecutorial team offers many opportunities for compromising the reliability of the child's remembered account. A vast volume of research data now exists that documents the conclusion that the forensic interviewing of children is a very delicate, sophisticated, and high-risk enterprise.
The Conundrum Of Children, Confrontation, And Hearsay, Richard D. Friedman
The Conundrum Of Children, Confrontation, And Hearsay, Richard D. Friedman
Law and Contemporary Problems
The adjudication of child abuse claims poses an excruciatingly difficult conundrum. In many cases, a large part of the problem is that the prosecution's case depends critically on the statement or testimony of a young child.
Introduction To The Symposium On Wrongful Convictions: Issues Of Science, Evidence, And Innocence, Ellen Y. Suni
Introduction To The Symposium On Wrongful Convictions: Issues Of Science, Evidence, And Innocence, Ellen Y. Suni
Faculty Works
t is hard to imagine an injustice greater than the incarceration or, worse yet, execution of an innocent. Especially in our system of justice, which purports to accept as a basic premise that it is better that ten guilty go free than that one innocent person be imprisoned, the incarceration of an innocent is simply intolerable. Yet it happens--and much more often than we would like to believe. Questions abound as to why and what can be done about it. The problem of wrongful convictions has been discussed for some time, but it has often been rejected or downplayed. It …

The Writings Of John Barker Waite And Thomas Davies On The Search And Seizure Exclusionary Rule, Yale Kamisar
Articles
After browsing through many volumes of the Michigan Law Review, searching for the article I would discuss on the occasion of the law review's 100th anniversary, I wound up with two "finalists": a 1955 article by Professor John Barker Waite on the law of arrest search and seizure (on further reflection, four Michigan Law Review commentaries on the general subject written by Waite between 1933 and 1955)' and a monumental 200-page article (surely one of the longest articles ever to appear in the Michigan Law Review) by Thomas Davies on the "original Fourth Amendment. 2

The Economic Analysis Of Evidence Law: Common Sense On Stilts, Richard O. Lempert
The Economic Analysis Of Evidence Law: Common Sense On Stilts, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
There was a time when the empire of Law was not overrun by economists. The economists had their own fiefdoms to be sure-there was the Duchy of Antitrust and the Kingdom of Regulatory Law-but the economists lived in peace within these borders, welcoming many unlike themselves into their midst, only gently proselytizing their students in the first few classes of a term, and swearing fealty to the law. It is true that a few marauders from beyond the borders saw the wealth of the empire and sought to colonize it, but even the most daring, Archbishop Coase and Duke Gary …

The Problem With Innocence, Margaret Raymond
The Problem With Innocence, Margaret Raymond
Cleveland State Law Review
Pursuing justice for the wrongfully convicted is a profoundly meaningful goal. Yet the innocence movement may have unintended consequences for the criminal justice system. This paper explores some of these, and argues that the focus on factual innocence may create certain distortions in the way that actors in the criminal justice system---the "ones left behind"--perceive their obligations and allegiances. It may convince the public, including policymakers, that the system works effectively to reveal and redress wrongful convictions. It may convince prospective jurors that it is-or should be-the defendant's burden to prove innocence. It may convince potential criminal defense clients that …

"Can (Did) Congress 'Overrule' Miranda?, Yale Kamisar
Articles
I think the great majority of judges, lawyers, and law professors would have concurred in Judge Friendly's remarks when he made them thirty-three years ago. To put it another way, I believe few would have had much confidence in the constitutionality of an anti-Miranda provision, usually known as § 3501 because of its designation under Title 18 of the United States Code, a provision of Title II of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (hereinafter referred to as the Crime Act or the Crime Bill), when that legislation was signed by the president on June 19, …

Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The divided panel decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in /n re Lindsey, 158 F.3d 1263 (D.C. Cir.), cert. denied, 119 S. Ct. 466 (1998), represented a dramatic shift in that court's thinking on the question whether the attorney-client privilege protects what a government official says to his agency's counsel in confidence. Although the court of appeals in at least four previous decisions had held that a government agency client holds the same privilege any other client would under like circumstances to communicate with counsel in private, the Lindsey court took a quite different view.
Interpretation Of The Kentucky Rules Of Evidence—What Happened To The Common Law?, Robert G. Lawson
Interpretation Of The Kentucky Rules Of Evidence—What Happened To The Common Law?, Robert G. Lawson
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The Kentucky Rules of Evidence, which became effective on July 1, 1992, dramatically transformed the method by which lawyers and judges address evidence issues. Before the adoption of the Rules, the law of evidence consisted mostly of a vast collection of common law rulings, accumulated over two centuries and inaccessible to lawyers and judges for all practical purposes. In addressing an evidence issue, participants had to first deal with the problem of "finding" the law-distilling from a morass of conflicting common law precedents the ones applicable to the issue at hand, a task regularly producing contention rather than agreement and, …
