Psychosexuality And The Criminal Law, Ralph Slovenko, Cyril Phillips

Vanderbilt Law Review

It is common knowledge that sexual mores vary in every culture. Sexual ethic and social structure are interrelated. Sexual morality is not the same in an industrially advanced society as it is in a primitive agriculture regime (the industrial revolution's influence upon sexual morals will so attest) Sexual mores vary in different parts of the same country (Puritan Massachusetts and pioneer Wyoming could not be expected to develop the same set of rules), and indeed between different social strata in the same one locality. Every society imposes regulations and codes upon sexual relations, and quite rightly. However, the striking fact …

The Companion Of The New Hampshire Doctrine Of Criminal Insanity, John Reid

Vanderbilt Law Review

The problem of criminal responsibility is one of the most difficult in criminal law. Of the various solutions that have been devised, the author suggests that the New Hampshire-Scottish approach--with its emphasis on insanity as a question of fact for the jury--is the most desirable.

Subnormal Mentality As A Defense In The Criminal Law, John E.V. Pieski

Vanderbilt Law Review

Although little is left of the theory which ascribed to mental deficiency causative force in criminal conduct, the entire episode taught at least two valuable lessons to modem criminologists. First, it served as a warning against superficial research and hasty conclusions, thus inducing subsequent scholars to take a more scientific approach to similar problems. Second, it aided in alerting others that, although not all or even most criminals are mentally deficient, there are an appreciable number of criminals who possess a subnormal mentality, and who must be reckoned within the criminal law. Notwithstanding that the legal profession has utilized the …

Criminal Law And Procedure -- 1961 Tennessee Survey (Ii), Robert E. Kendrick

Vanderbilt Law Review

In reviewing Cowan v.State, the Tennessee Supreme Court noted the following facts: Defendant, seeing an automobile stop at an isolated spot on a so-called "lovers' lane," approached it by way of a woods, being unseen by the two teen-age couples in the automobile until he was quite nearby. The occupants' attempt to drive away was thwarted by the defendant's exhibiting and threatening to use a pistol, warning against further escape attempts, and demanding and receiving the ignition key. He then insisted that the girls have sexual intercourse with him; and when they refused, he stated that he would not "take …

The Theory Of Criminal Discovery And The Practice Of Criminal Law, David W. Louisell

Vanderbilt Law Review

To crystallize in a few words the motif of a career as varied and comprehensive as that of Eddie Morgan would in any event be difficult, but it is doubly so for a life devoted, as his has been, to stuff as vital and dynamic as procedure and evidence. For me, his work most fundamentally is to be characterized as a quest for greater rationality in the adjudicative process. Whether one thinks of his analysis of the hearsay rule,' or his rationale of the admissions exception to it, or his treatment of the dead man's statute, or his study of …

The Origin Of The Sacco-Vanzetti Case, Tom O'Connor

Vanderbilt Law Review

For the first time in the thirty-three years since Sacco and Vanzetti were executed, on August 23, 1927, there has appeared an apologia for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The work bears the title: Sacco-Vanzetti: The Murder and the Myth. The author is Robert H. Montgomery, a Harvard Law School graduate (1912) and a corporation lawyer in Boston for nearly fifty years. His clients include textile mills, such as the American Woolen Company (center of the famous Lawrence Strike of 1911), New England Telephone & Telegraph Co., and large electric power interests. The approach of Attorney Montgomery to the Sacco-Vanzetti case …

Criminal Law And Procedure -- 1960 Tennessee Survey, Robert E. Kendrick

Vanderbilt Law Review

Offenses against the person-(a) Homicide: Parties.-Because of an asserted lack of intention to commit homicide, two persons asked the state supreme court in Eager v. State to reverse their convictions of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly, while intoxicated, killing a pedestrian with an automobile driven by one and directed and aided by the other. In affirming, it would have been enough to dispose of this contention to invoke the statutory provision that "manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another without malice, either express or implied, which may be... involuntary, but in the commission of some unlawful act,"' to call attention to …

Conspiracy--Cline v. State was an appeal from a conviction of a conspiracy to dynamite and destroy a public school building in Clinton, Tennessee, in violation of a statute making it a felony for two or more persons to agree "to commit an illegal act capable of producing conditions destructive to life or property.. ." by possessing, transporting or using explosives. Three men, D1, D2 and D3, had been indicated; but, before defendants were put to trial, the state entered a "nolle prosequi" against D1, who became a state's witness. Afterwards, D2 was acquitted in the same trial in which D3, …
