Sanctions, Law And Public Order, George H. Dession Dec 1947

Sanctions, Law And Public Order, George H. Dession

Vanderbilt Law Review

A more creative conception of criminal law, and a more scientific and policy-minded approach to the organization of research, instruction and con- sultation concerning the use of criminal and other negative sanctions, 'have long been in making in the minds of many working in the field, in many widely separated places. My purpose in this paper is briefly to describe the kind of program currently conceived-to these ends in the Yale School of Law. Stemming from a series of exploratory studies and seminars conducted over the past few, years in collaboration with members of the Departments of Anthropology, Psychiatry and …

Criminal Law-Incompetence Of Defense Counsel As Ground For New Trial, Irving Slifkin Jun 1947

Criminal Law-Incompetence Of Defense Counsel As Ground For New Trial, Irving Slifkin

Michigan Law Review

To represent the defendant, accused of robbery, the court at public expense, appointed an attorney, designated the "public defender." After conviction, the defendant, by another attorney, petitioned for a writ of error coram nobis on the ground that his attorney had made only a perfunctory defense because of his incompetence and negligence. The petition having been denied in the circuit court, the defendant appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court. Held, affirmed. When the record shows no incompetence or negligence on the part of the defense counsel prejudicial to the accused, a writ of error coram nobis will not be …


The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling May 1947

The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling

Washington Law Review

On September 5, 1928, James Eugene Bassett left his sister's home at Bremerton, Washington, with the intention of returning that evening, but was never seen again. Bassett's disappearance aroused nationwide interest and he was made the object of a most intensive but unavailing search. The unanswered question remains: Could a legally sufficient case be made against any defendant for the murder of Bassett, assuming overwhelming evidence of the defendant's connection with whatever catastrophe may have befallen him, but almost no independent evidence that he was dead and not merely missing? Due to an unfortunate chain of events, the question was …


Criminal Law-Resentence-Right To Credit For Time Served Under Void Sentence, Bruce L. Moore May 1947

Criminal Law-Resentence-Right To Credit For Time Served Under Void Sentence, Bruce L. Moore

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs in error were convicted and sentenced from one to twenty years with recommendations that they serve four to five years. On writ of error, the judgment in each case was reversed and the cause was remanded for entry of a proper sentence· because the statute under which sentence was imposed was unconstitutional. A new sentence of from one to twenty years was imposed in each case. Plaintiffs in error had served three and one-half years in the one case, and over four years in the other case, under the original sentence. Error is assigned because no credit was allowed …
