Reform Of The Law Of Evidence In Criminal Cases, J. A. Coutts

Dalhousie Law Journal

Events surrounding the recent proposals for the reform of the English law of evidence in criminal cases may be thought to afford a cautionary tale, indicating the wrong way to engage in public debate upon such matters. In 1964, the Home Secretary asked the Criminal Law Revision Committee to review the law of evidence in criminal cases. Before its Report1 was published (some eight years later), and, indeed, before the Home Secretary had himself received it, there occurred a flood of critical comment in the Press and on radio and television, and questions in Parliament, on what were thought (not …

The Second Circuit Review: Ix. Evidence: Introduction, Paul F. Rothstein

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The past year's developments in the law of evidence have been characterized by a hardening attitude toward criminal defendants. The United States Supreme Court's evidentiary rulings during the term covered by the Second Circuit Review (1971-72) manifested this trend (although not uniformly). For example, police stop-and-frisk authority was broadened (and with it the use of evidence obtained therefrom); the scope of the immunity from criminal prosecution required to be granted by a governmental body before self-incriminatory statements can be compelled from a witness was narrowed; the right to have counsel at line-ups was limited to postindictment or post-charge line-ups (with …

Easy Cases, Bad Law, And Burdens Of Proof, Roger B. Dworkin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Easy cases, as well as hard ones, sometimes make bad law. Pickett v. Cooper,' for example, was a straightforward automobile accident personal injury case. Defendant's car, on the wrong side of the road,collided with the car in which plaintiff was riding. Defendant contended that a tire blowout, rather than negligent driving, caused his car to be in the wrong lane, and he introduced evidence to support that contention. Instructing on the doctrine of "sudden emergency," the trial court told the jury to find for defendant if they believed "it [to be] as likely as not" that a tire blowout produced …

Omnibus Crime Control And Safe Streets Act Of 1968-Grand Jury Witness Standing To Suppress Illegally Obtained Evidence, Law Review Staff

Vanderbilt Law Review

Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 19681 attempts to regulate the use of electronic surveillance and wiretap within fourth amendment guidelines developed by the judiciary. If evidence has been obtained in violation of the Act, the Act prohibits its introduction into judicial, legislative, and administrative proceedings. As recent courts of appeals cases indicate, however, one primary question has arisen concerning the operation of this exclusionary rule in the specific context of a grand jury proceeding: May a grand jury witness challenge the admissibility of evidence obtained in violation of the Crime Control Act?

Contracts--Parol Evidence Rule--Admissibility Of Agency Not Appearing In Written Contract, Robert R. Skinner

West Virginia Law Review

How does the parol evidence rule apply to a written contract which on its face appears to have only two parties, but in which one of the parties wants to introduce extrinsic evidence that one of the signatories is an agent for another person? Part one of this note will discuss present case law and part two will show how that law compares with modem theories of the parol evidence rule.

The Mere Evidence Rule: Need For Re-Evaluation, Leona M. Hudak

Cleveland State Law Review

This article is limited to the "mere evidence rule" as enunciated in Gouled v. United States; a brief historical sketch of the genesis of the search warrant; the two landmark decisions leading to Gouled; and, an overview of its impact upon American law, with reference to major landmark decisions. A thorough study of the rule and its application and interpretation in the various courts of the United States is book-length in proportion, as the numerous case entries under Gouled in the several editions of Shepard's United States Citations clearly illustrate. Wigmore provides a fairly comprehensive listing of decisions on illegal …
