Legislating Confession Law In Great Britain: A Statutory Approach To Police Interrogations, Mark Berger Oct 1990

Legislating Confession Law In Great Britain: A Statutory Approach To Police Interrogations, Mark Berger

Faculty Works

The police interrogation process has been a subject of controversy in both Great Britain and the United States. The debate has focused on how to regulate the police and thereby balance the public interest in crime control against the individual interest in freedom from state coercion. In the U.S regulation of the police interrogation process has largely been the result of U.S. Supreme Court interpretations of the self-incrimination privilege of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In contrast, in Great Britain police interrogation controls have been enacted by Parliament in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), supplemented by …

The Death Penalty, Ellen Y. Suni Jan 1986

The Death Penalty, Ellen Y. Suni

Faculty Works

In 1977, the Missouri legislature adopted a comprehensive statutory scheme defining capital murder and prescribing procedures to be utilized in imposing the death penalty in this state. After making minor revisions in the scheme, the legislature substantially revamped the homicide statutes in 1983. Included in this revision were changes in the definition of the substantive offense and revisions in the grounds and procedures for imposition of the death penalty. These legislative revisions and judicial interpretations have substantially broadened the class of defendants to whom the death penalty is applicable and substantially decreased the likelihood of successful appeal from a sentence …

Criminal Law: Homicide, Ellen Y. Suni Jan 1982

Criminal Law: Homicide, Ellen Y. Suni

Faculty Works

Substantive criminal law in Missouri has undergone substantial change in recent years. The most significant aspect of this change has been the adoption of the criminal code which discarded common law definitions of crime and redefined offenses in accord with the more modern Model Penal Code ap­proach. Although the code's drafters recommended major revision of the homicide statutes, these revisions were not ultimately adopted and the Mis­souri homicide statutes retained their common law approach. A combination of United States Supreme Court decisions, legislative activity and Missouri cases decided during the last decade, however, have led to important develop­ments in the …

Burdening The Fifth Amendment: Toward A Presumptive Barrier Theory, Mark Berger Apr 1979

Burdening The Fifth Amendment: Toward A Presumptive Barrier Theory, Mark Berger

Faculty Works

Judging how heavily the state may burden the decision to exercise or forego the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination is a concededly problematic undertaking. Nevertheless, the formulation of a standard is essential to ensure principled decision making. Unfortunately, however, the Supreme Court has thus far avoided the task. The decisions from the Warren era suggest in very broad language that any burden on the exercise of the right to remain silent is forbidden, while more recent rulings have barred only those penalties automatically imposed for assertions of the privilege. Neither extreme, however, represents a satisfactory resolution of the conflicting interests …

Bail In Missouri Revisited, Mark Berger Oct 1974

Bail In Missouri Revisited, Mark Berger

Faculty Works

During the early part of the 1960's, interest in the civil rights movement generated concern over the inequities of bail administration. In the latter part of the decade the same problems were revealed in major studies of the nation's criminal justice system. Contributions to the legal literature in this period, encompassing statistical and evaluative studies as well as academic analysis, helped to focus further attention on bail. Moreover, a major effort was undertaken by the United States Department of Justice to promote the sharing of bail program information and ideas. There are signs, however, that some of the earlier interest …

Intrusion Into The Body, William G. Eckhardt Jan 1971

Intrusion Into The Body, William G. Eckhardt

Faculty Works

The thesis of this article is that the rights of servicemen should be protected with the search and seizure concepts of the fourth amendment rather than with the fifth amendment protection against self-incrimination when intrusive bodily searches are required. The Supreme Court enunciated standard for intrusion into the body found in Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757 (1966). The subsequent application of this standard in the federal courts, and its adoption in the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, 1969, (Rev.) are explored. Federal court decisions discussing the privilege against self-incrimination are contrasted with opinions of the Court of Military Appeals …
