Quality Of Mercy Must Be Restrained, And Other Lessons In Learning To Love The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Frank O. Bowman Iii Jan 1996

Quality Of Mercy Must Be Restrained, And Other Lessons In Learning To Love The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Frank O. Bowman Iii

Faculty Publications

In the remarks that follow, I do four things. First, for those unfamiliar with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, I begin by explaining briefly how the Guidelines work. Second, I endeavor to show why Judge Cabranes is wrong, absolutely wrong in declaring the Guidelines a failure, and mostly wrong in the specific criticisms he and others level against the Guidelines. Third, after jousting with Judge Cabranes a bit, I discuss some problems with the current federal sentencing system, most notably the sheer length of narcotics sentences. Finally, I comment briefly on some of the implications of the Guidelines, and the principles …

Novel Theories Of Criminal Defense Based Upon The Toxicity Of The Social Environment: Urban Psychosis, Television Intoxication, And Black Rage, Patricia J. Falk Jan 1996

Novel Theories Of Criminal Defense Based Upon The Toxicity Of The Social Environment: Urban Psychosis, Television Intoxication, And Black Rage, Patricia J. Falk

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In recent years, defendants have proffered a multitude of novel theories of criminal defense in seeking to explain their criminal behavior in terms of internal and external influences beyond their control, including biological processes, chemical reactions, intra-psychic dynamics, social conditions, and cross cultural stresses. This Article focuses on one subset of this burgeoning class of defenses: those based upon the central premise that the defendant's criminal conduct was caused, or significantly influenced, by his exposure to social environmental factors or, if you will, toxins affecting his mental functioning. While a wide panoply of toxins exist within the fabric of our …

The Evidentiary Burden In Establishing An Article 3(A) Defense To Extradition In Light Of In Re The Requested Extradition Of James Joseph Smyth, A Case Of First Impression, Leslie A. Firtell Jan 1996

The Evidentiary Burden In Establishing An Article 3(A) Defense To Extradition In Light Of In Re The Requested Extradition Of James Joseph Smyth, A Case Of First Impression, Leslie A. Firtell

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in the case of James Joseph Smyth, which centered on the interpretation and application of Article 3a of the Supplementary Extradition Treaty between the US and the UK. The court overturned the lower court's ruling, holding that Smyth failed to meet the evidentiary burden required to establish a defense against extradition under Article 3a. The decision highlights the challenges of proving future mistreatment based on race, religion, nationality, or political opinions, emphasizing the need for individualized evidence rather than systemic concerns.

Why Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Pregnant Women And Newborns Must Fail: A Legal, Historical, And Public Policy Analysis, Elizabeth B. Cooper Jan 1996

Why Mandatory Hiv Testing Of Pregnant Women And Newborns Must Fail: A Legal, Historical, And Public Policy Analysis, Elizabeth B. Cooper

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that mandatory HIV testing of pregnant women and newborns is a misguided policy that fails to address the complex medical, social, and legal issues surrounding HIV/AIDS in women. It contends that such policies violate constitutional rights, disproportionately affect marginalized communities, and are unsupported by medical evidence. The analysis emphasizes the importance of voluntary testing linked to care and services, as well as the need to address systemic inequities in healthcare delivery.


The Victim-Plaintiff In Criminal Trials And Civil Law Responses To Sexual Violence, Alexandra Goy Jan 1996

The Victim-Plaintiff In Criminal Trials And Civil Law Responses To Sexual Violence, Alexandra Goy

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the role of the victim-plaintiff in German criminal trials, particularly in cases involving sexual violence. It highlights the unique procedural rights granted to victim-plaintiffs, such as the ability to participate actively in trials and present evidence. However, the analysis reveals significant practical and systemic barriers that limit the effectiveness of this institution, including restrictive evidentiary rules, financial challenges, and gender biases within the judiciary. The article argues that while the victim-plaintiff institution offers opportunities for victims to seek justice, its impact is undermined by these obstacles, raising concerns about the protection of sexual autonomy and gender equality …

Prostitution And The Law In Germany, Margarete Von Galen

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the legal and social contradictions surrounding prostitution in Germany, highlighting how, despite its legal status, the practice is subject to discriminatory laws and regulations that create a hypocritical gap between legal frameworks and real-world enforcement. The author argues that while prostitution is legal, the surrounding legal provisions often criminalize related activities, leading to inconsistent enforcement and continued marginalization of sex workers.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Criminal Law And Procedure, Cullen D. Seltzer Jan 1996

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Criminal Law And Procedure, Cullen D. Seltzer

University of Richmond Law Review

This article discusses recent Virginia cases and legislative developments in the area of criminal law and procedure. The article discusses cases from April of 1995 to July of 1996 and legislative changes effective July 1, 1996. This article does not discuss federal developments. Nor does the article discuss death penalty issues, as that area of the law is sufficiently particularized that, for purposes of manageability, it falls outside the scope of this discussion.

Some Thoughts On Bifurcated Sentencing In Non-Capital Felony Cases In Virginia, Thomas D. Horne Jan 1996

Some Thoughts On Bifurcated Sentencing In Non-Capital Felony Cases In Virginia, Thomas D. Horne

University of Richmond Law Review

The punishment stage of a jury trial poses a difficult test for the conflicting attitudes and opinions of individual jurors. In the search for a mature, well-reasoned, and educated verdict, an understanding of the sentencing process by those controlling the flow of information is the best insurance against decisions which spring from passion, prejudice, and personal bias. Given recent legislative changes affecting sentencing in non-capital felony cases, such an understanding is not susceptible to hornbook solutions. This paper will attempt to put those changes in the context of existing sentencing practices and of related evidentiary issues. It is hoped that …

The Mark Of Cain: No Second Chance For Teachers Convicted Of Sex Offenses Against Students, Eric J. Kuperman Jan 1996

The Mark Of Cain: No Second Chance For Teachers Convicted Of Sex Offenses Against Students, Eric J. Kuperman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that teachers convicted of sex offenses against students should be subject to a national registration and notification system, akin to Megan's Law, due to the inadequacy of current systems in preventing these individuals from continuing to teach and offending again. The author emphasizes the need to protect children from sexual predators in educational settings, highlighting the failure of schools and courts to effectively address the issue.
