Criminal Procedure Pre-Trial Proceedings: Provide For Discovery And Inspection Of Evidence By The Prosecution And Defendants In Criminal Cases, Jeffrey A. Hannah

Georgia State University Law Review

The Act provides for comprehensive discovery in criminal felony and misdemeanor trials. Evidence of alibis and in rebuttal of alibis must now be disclosed by defense and prosecution counsel at least ten days prior to trial. Access to documents, records, and results of examinations and scientific tests, and statements of witnesses must now be disclosed by the prosecution. Upon request of defense counsel, the prosecution must provide access to documents within the possession, custody, or control of the prosecution or state. The Act provides new guidelines for supplying copies of a defendant's Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) criminal history to …


The Hague Evidence Convention Revisited: Reflections On Its Role In U.S. Civil Procedure, Gary B. Born Jul 1994

The Hague Evidence Convention Revisited: Reflections On Its Role In U.S. Civil Procedure, Gary B. Born

Law and Contemporary Problems

A reworking of the basic terms of the Hague Evidence Convention is proposed. Under current law, US courts typically do not employ the Convention's evidence-taking mechanisms when ordering discovery from either a litigant or a witness subject to the court's subpoena power.

The Hague Evidence Convention: The Need For Guidance On Procedures And Resolution Of Conflicts In Transnational Discovery, John C. Plaster Jan 1994

The Hague Evidence Convention: The Need For Guidance On Procedures And Resolution Of Conflicts In Transnational Discovery, John C. Plaster

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

As international commercial disputes become more common, United States courts increasingly face difficult issues involved in transnational discovery. Two frequently encountered issues are choosing whether to use the discovery procedures of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Hague Evidence Convention and whether to enforce a discovery order when the order conflicts with a law of the state in which discovery is to occur. Although the Supreme Court has addressed both of these issues, it has left lower courts considerable discretion to deal with these issues case by case. Lower courts, therefore, have not been uniform in their approaches …

Scientific Evidence In The Courtroom: The Death Of The Frye Rule, George J. Annas Jan 1994

Scientific Evidence In The Courtroom: The Death Of The Frye Rule, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

In one of the most anticlimactic cases in recent years, the Supreme Court ruled on the last day of its 1992-1993 term that federal judges should admit all relevant scientific testimony and evidence that is “reliable”. The result was so uncontroversial that both sides in the case said they were satisfied; because the result was also so vague, it will probably be years before its effect can be accurately ascertained. The facts of the case, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., are somewhat more interesting than its prosaic legal conclusion.

Balancing The Scales: Limiting The Prejudicial Effect Of Evidence Rule 404(B) Through Stipulation, Daniel J. Buzzetta Jan 1994

Balancing The Scales: Limiting The Prejudicial Effect Of Evidence Rule 404(B) Through Stipulation, Daniel J. Buzzetta

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note argues that, in a prosecution for a violation of a specific intent criminal statute, the government must accept a defendant’s clear and unambiguous stipulation to possessing the requisite intent for the crime charged. The trial court must ensure that the proffered stipulation is voluntarily given, unambiguous, and comprehensive, so as not to deprive the prosecution from presenting forceful, significant, and probative evidence. Once a defendant offers such an acceptable stipulation, however, the government’s introduction of prior bad acts to prove intent becomes extremely prejudicial, while any probative value the evidence may have is dissipated entirely. Part II of …


Employee Dishonesty And The After-Acquired Evidence Doctrine: Why Honesty Is The Best Policy, Georgia Stanaitis Jan 1994

Employee Dishonesty And The After-Acquired Evidence Doctrine: Why Honesty Is The Best Policy, Georgia Stanaitis

Cleveland State Law Review

The Eleventh Circuit has stated that application of the after-acquired evidence doctrine as a complete defense is too rigid and that it produces harsh, inequitable results. At the same time, the Eleventh Circuit has voted to rehear the case setting forth this view. Until the rehearing, the Eleventh Circuit's principles are sound.13 Specifically, the Eleventh Circuit has criticized Summers as being antithetical to the principal purposes of Title VII which are to achieve equality of employment opportunity and make whole, so far as is possible, the individual or class affected by the discrimination. The Eleventh Circuit and arbitral forums, such …
