Criminal Law And Procedure, H.T. O'Neal Jr.

Mercer Law Review

A synopsis of the criminal law as decided by our appellate courts consists, in the main, of a restatement of age-old concepts. The criminal law does not readily lend itself to startling new trends or changes. It is a science which is not static, but stationary.

It has been necessary to formulate several very general categories in which to place the cases, in order that a discussion of them may have some .semblance of order and organization. Although some of the categories have received exhaustive treatment elsewhere in this issue, it appears necessary that they be discussed here solely from …

People V. Nye [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Evidence of a defendant's prior attempted rape was admissible in his trial for assault with intent to rape a second victim as the evidence of the first offense showed defendant's intent when he entered the second victim's hotel room.

In Re Davis [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

People V. Cullen [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Defendant's conviction on two counts of murder was proper, even though the victims' bodies were not found. The elements of the corpus delecti were proved circumstantially or inferentially.

In Re Kimler [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Criminal Law Administration Prior To Trial: Recent Constitutional Developments, Paul H. Sanders

Vanderbilt Law Review

Probably the most pervasive dilemma in human experience is that which poses the choice with respect to the use of normally-condemned means in order to attain what are considered to be desirable ends. The field of criminal law administration offers a particularly apt illustration of the dilemma in modern society. The actual, day-to-day methods of operation of our law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges and other officials concerned with the investigation, trial and punishment of those charged with crime,--all reflect the choice that has been made in fact by our society. We can each judge, within the limits of our experience, …

Evidence-Admissibility Of Uncommunicated Threats, Thomas Hartwell S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree, following his killing of one Hunter as the outcome of a quarrel. The defendant had pleaded self-defense, contending that Hunter had appeared to threaten him. The defendant was the only witness to testify as to any aggression on the part of Hunter, while the four eyewitnesses to the killing all testified that the accused had attacked Hunter without warning and had fired upon Hunter's wife and child. Defendant's motion for new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence showing that Hunter had in his pocket an open knife, which …

People V. Thomas, Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

In murder case, the court did not have the authority to reduce defendant's death sentence to life imprisonment because defendant failed to show prejudicial error with respect to the sentencing order.

Criminal Law - ''Temporary Insanity" -Arguments And Proposals For Its Elimination As A Defense To Criminal Prosecution, Lewis R. Williams, Jr. S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

ln view of the apparently increasing number of cases which have come before the courts in recent years in which the defense of "temporary insanity" has been made, an investigation into the status of that defense in the criminal law of today would seem desirable. The term "temporary insanity" is one of popular origin and finds no place in strict legal terminology. The defense of incapacity for the mens rea, legally speaking, is "insanity," not "temporary insanity." But because of the human desire for a mot convenable, we have come to apply the term "temporary insanity" to those …

The Right Of A Businessman To Lower The Price Of His Goods, Stanley D. Rose

Vanderbilt Law Review

The present actions being taken to mark the transition from cold to hot war are settling a number of problems and creating a host of others. The direction of our national effort within the economy will shift to production; our normal interest would be in distribution. This shift will not mean that the antitrust laws will be entirely suspended. There remain certain vital functions of protecting whole classes of citizens during the coming years of stress and for that day when once again we return to our new two-cars-for-every-family ideal.

'But it cannot be denied that a discussion of lowering …
