Removing Race From The Jury Deliberation Room: The Shortcomings Of Pena-Rodriguez V. Colorado And How To Address Them, Lauren Crump
Removing Race From The Jury Deliberation Room: The Shortcomings Of Pena-Rodriguez V. Colorado And How To Address Them, Lauren Crump
University of Richmond Law Review
This comment explores ways in which racial bias undermines
the American jury system and argues that simply having a racial
bias exception to the no-impeachment rule does not go far enough
to guard against racially motivated jury verdicts. In order to
guarantee the Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury, defendants
must always be able to question potential jurors about
racial bias, and universal court policies need to be adopted across
the country that allow for a consistent approach for investigating
claims of racial bias in jury deliberations. Part I of this comment
examines the history of American juries and …

University of Richmond Law Review
This article aims to give a succinct review of notable criminal
law and procedure cases decided by the Supreme Court of Virginia
and the Court of Appeals of Virginia during the past year. Instead
of covering every ruling or rationale in these cases, the article
focuses on the "take-away" of the holdings with the most
precedential value. The article also summarizes noteworthy
changes to criminal law and procedure enacted by the 2017 Virginia
General Assembly.

Truth Or Doubt? An Empirical Test Of Criminal Jury Instructions, Michael D. Cicchini, Lawrence T. White
University of Richmond Law Review
Part I of this article briefly discusses the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, along with its importance to individuals and society generally.

Beyond The Right To Counsel: Increasing Notice Of Collateral Consequences, Brian M. Murray
University of Richmond Law Review
This article responds to these questions by focusing on the primary roots of this justice issue, namely the prevalence of guiltypleas and the continued efforts of legislatures to increase the life- long price of a conviction. Part I begins with a discussion of these practical realities within the criminal justice system. Part II then examines the law of guilty pleas under the Fifth Amendment, including constitutional standards for valid pleas, and how current jurisprudence fails to account for the collateral consequences mentioned in Part I. Part II also discusses the right to effective assistance of counsel under the Sixth Amendment, …

"To Corral And Control The Ghetto": Stop, Frisk, And The Geography Of Freedom, Anders Walker
"To Corral And Control The Ghetto": Stop, Frisk, And The Geography Of Freedom, Anders Walker
University of Richmond Law Review
While criminal law scholar Michelle Alexander has shown that stop and frisks often serve as the gateway into the criminal justice system for young men of color, she occludes the complex forces that led to their rise." This article seeks to identify those forces, relating the rise of stop and frisk rules to liberal politics, Cold War concerns, and spatial dynamics. To illustrate, this article will proceed in three parts. Part I will demonstrate how Mapp v. Ohio coincided with judicial frustration at police intrusions into private, intimate space-including private thought-precisely at a time when the United States sought to …
