Scientific Investigation Of Intoxication, Bernard J. Conley
Scientific Investigation Of Intoxication, Bernard J. Conley
Cleveland State Law Review
The thirty years in which chemical testing for intoxication has had its inception and development has coincided with the thirty years in which the protection of the rights of the accused has almost obliterated the rights of our society to protect itself from persons bent on mischief. Despite this trend the courts have seen fit to encourage the advancement of the presentation of scientific evidence to enable the courts, both civil and criminal,to arrive at intelligent and just decisions. Scientific evidence,qualified by the ability and integrity of the expert, is the result of intelligent, systematized and skillful experimentation and research …
Legal By-Products Of Chemical Testing For Intoxication, M. C. Slough, Paul E. Wilson
Legal By-Products Of Chemical Testing For Intoxication, M. C. Slough, Paul E. Wilson
Cleveland State Law Review
One among many problems of national moment is the intoxicated motorist. Legislators have long fumbled for remedies to halt a wave of senseless killing and mutilation that has resulted from an unhappy combination of ethyl alcohol and mechanical power. Convictions in court have been too difficult to halt a wave of senseless killing and mutilation that has reconstructive and effective legal control. Jurors themselves, have often been hesitant to convict because the sum total of objective evidence produced has not convinced them that the subjects they were judging had actually been drunk or intoxicated.
Intoxication And Opinion Evidence, John E. Martindale
Intoxication And Opinion Evidence, John E. Martindale
Cleveland State Law Review
It must be said at the outset that there are many problems in connection with the rules of evidence which an article as short as this one cannot hope to touch upon. Among these is the relevance of intoxication to particular issues. It must be assumed that the evidence sought to be introduced is material and relevant. With this assumption we will consider three areas of intoxication evidence: lay opinion, expert opinion and hospital records. These are the three main areas involving the introduction of an opinion as to intoxicated condition.

Autopsy Evidence, Garcon Weiss
Autopsy Evidence, Garcon Weiss
Cleveland State Law Review
Frequently death results in legal problems, either civil or criminal, the solutions of which depend on the cause of death. The autopsy (necropsy), or post-mortem examination, is the scientific method of determining the cause of death. An autopsy is the careful inspection of the external and internal structures of the body. There are two types of autopsy, the medical autopsy and the medico-legal autopsy. This article is limited to the use of the autopsy for medico-legal purposes, i.e., for obtaining and submitting evidence.
Exhibition Of Person In Personal Injury Cases, Dennis M. Burgoon
Exhibition Of Person In Personal Injury Cases, Dennis M. Burgoon
Cleveland State Law Review
It is to be admitted that the proof of injury, which is directed to the senses, is a most convincing means of proof, and is the best evidence of a material fact, but it is not the fact that such exhibition is material that comes into dispute when such an exhibition is sought to be admitted, rather it is the claimed prejudicial effect of such exhibition, or the possibility that it might be indecent that raises the objection to this form of evidence.
Evidence Problems In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Ronald J. Harpst
Evidence Problems In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Ronald J. Harpst
Cleveland State Law Review
Some of the most perplexing problems facing the attorney defending a child charged with a delinquency have their inception in misunderstandings, lack of uniformity and loose application of evidential rules. In order to serve the best interests of the children who are before it, and to obtain necessary facts with which to formulate a rehabilitation plan, the courts have a tendency to waive strict adherence to evidence rules. The methodical attorney wonders how the court can serve the best interests of the child and yet seemingly not afford to the child the equal protection of its laws of evidence.
Experimental Evidence, Donald L. Guarnieri
Experimental Evidence, Donald L. Guarnieri
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this article is to explain the concepts basic to the admissibility of experimental evidence in civil jury cases. The article will examine the prerequisites to the admissibility of experimental evidence, will give illustrations of various experiments, and will comment on the trend of court decisions since the latter part of the nineteenth century. The article deals primarily with experiments conducted outside of the court room as opposed to experiments conducted in the courtroom in the presence of a jury.
