Anthrax Hoaxes, Ira Robbins

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

INTRODUCTION: "[Y]ou are a disgusting piece of dirt."' Judge Steven Shutter, a county judge in South Florida, used these words to describe a twenty- four-year-old woman whom he labeled a terrorist2 and who was condemned by the media.3 Aside from name-calling, Judge Shutter raised the woman's bail from $3,500 to $25,000 when he learned the nature of the offense, 'just in case" the woman might be able to afford the lower bond.4 Given the strength of Judge Shutter's animosity toward her, one might assume that Yasmin Kassima Sealey- Doe had provided assistance to the terrorists who attacked the World Trade …

Without Charge: Assessing The Due Process Rights Of Unindicted Co-Conspirators, Ira Robbins Jan 2004

Without Charge: Assessing The Due Process Rights Of Unindicted Co-Conspirators, Ira Robbins

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The grand jury practice of naming individuals as unindicted co-conspirators routinely results in injury to reputations,lost employment opportunities, and a practical inability to run for public office. Yet, because these individuals are not parties to a criminal trial, they have neither the right to present evidence northe opportunity to clear their names. Thus, Professor Robbins argues that the practice violates the Fifth Amendment guarantee that “[n]o person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property,without due process of law[.]” While prosecutors may offer many justifications to support the practice of namingunindicted co-conspirators, these reasons do not withstand …

Consistently Revealing The Inconsistencies: The Construction Of Fear In The Criminal Law, Camille Nelson Jan 2004

Consistently Revealing The Inconsistencies: The Construction Of Fear In The Criminal Law, Camille Nelson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article focuses on the objective reasonable person standard in criminal law through the context of self defense and rape and their problematic construction. This article seeks to illustrate to law students the inconsistency of the aimed objective construction of the reasonable person standard because of its inherently subjective application. By examining People v. Goetz and State v. Alston, this article seeks to explore how societal norms reveal the undercurrent of negative associations of both gender and racial identity that lead to a subjective application of the reasonable person standard.

In Goetz, the defendant was able to successfully draw on …
