Faces Without Features: The Surface Validity Of Criminal Inferences, Peter Lushing Apr 1981

Faces Without Features: The Surface Validity Of Criminal Inferences, Peter Lushing

Articles

The article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in County Court v. Allen, arguing that the Court's approach to evaluating instructed inferences in criminal cases undermines the integrity of the fact-finding process. The central concern is that the Court's methodology, which assesses inferences as applied rather than on their face, fails to address the potential irrationality of such inferences and the pressure they may exert on jurors to convict without thorough consideration of the evidence. The article advocates for a more rigorous standard to ensure the rationality and constitutionality of instructed inferences in criminal trials.

Constitutional Law - Fifth And Fourteenth Amendments - Privilege Against Self-Incrimination - Procedure In State Criminal Trials - Jury Instructions, Terry J. Trexler

Duquesne Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that a state criminal trial judge has a constitutional obligation, on a defendant's request, to instruct a jury that no inference of guilt may be drawn from a defendant's failure to testify.

Carter v. Kentucky, 101 S. Ct. 1112 (1981).

The Rights Of Gay Prisoners: A Challenge To Protective Custody, Joan W. Howarth Jan 1980

The Rights Of Gay Prisoners: A Challenge To Protective Custody, Joan W. Howarth

Scholarly Works

This Note focuses on the specific issues raised by the traditional method of dealing with homosexuals in prison: isolation from the general prison population. This traditional segregation often results in almost twenty-four hour-a-day confinement to a cell, which severely limits access to programs and opportunities normally enjoyed by prisoners.

This Note first discusses the history and current practice of segregation of gay prisoners' as well as the broader subject of protective custody, and then outlines the judicial response to the problems of protective custody prisoners generally and gay prisoners specifically. It then critiques the judicial confusion and resulting reluctance to …

Police Use Of Trickery As An Interrogation Technique, James G. Thomas Oct 1979

Police Use Of Trickery As An Interrogation Technique, James G. Thomas

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note maintains that trickery can be effectively curtailed despite the failure of Miranda to do so. This Note argues that trickery in the interrogation room is a violation of fourteenth amendment substantive due process. The Supreme Court has recently stated, in very unambiguous terms, that due process requirements exist independently of the fifth amendment Miranda requirements in the interrogation context." This Note therefore proposes an objective due process standard that would prohibit trickery. The violation of this due process standard would require the exclusion at trial of confessions induced by trickery. Because the exclusionary rule is not a sufficient …

In Their Own Image: The Reframing Of The Due Process Clause By The United States Supreme Court, J. Ralph Beaird Jan 1979

In Their Own Image: The Reframing Of The Due Process Clause By The United States Supreme Court, J. Ralph Beaird

Scholarly Works

A distinguished constitutional scholar recently pointed out that "many of the important decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States are not based on law in the popular sense of that term." It is true, he noted, that "the court endeavors to identify Constitutional clauses upon which to hang its pronouncements." "[S]ome key words and phrases in the Constitution," however, "are so highly indeterminate that they cannot really qualify as law in any usual sense." Rather, he said, "they are semantic blanks--verbal vacuums that may be filled readily with any one of many possible meanings." Thus, it is not …
