Consent, Credibility And The Constitution: Evidence Relating To A Sex Offense Complainant’S Prior Sexual Behavior, Clifford S. Fishman Jan 1995

Consent, Credibility And The Constitution: Evidence Relating To A Sex Offense Complainant’S Prior Sexual Behavior, Clifford S. Fishman

Scholarly Articles

This article analyzes the theories cited by defendants, and occasionally prosecutors, to admit evidence of a rape complainant's prior sexual conduct. On the whole, courts have adequately balanced the conflicting interests presented by such evidence with concern for justice and equity. Substantial clarification, however, is required as to whether a judge is authorized, in deciding upon admissibility, to assess the credibility of the complainant, defendant, and other witnesses.

Hiv-Specific Crime Legislation: Targetting An Epidemic For Criminal Prosecution, Erin M. O'Toole

Journal of Law and Health

A growing number of state legislatures have drafted HIV specific crime statutes which criminalize the intentional transmission of the HIV virus to another. This discussion will focus on the impact of HIV-specific crime statutes on the following issues: confidentiality, the right to privacy, the decision to submit to HIV testing, and how the statutes may or may not succeed in containing the spread of HIV.

Federal Rules Of Evidence And The Political Process, David P. Leonard Jan 1995

Federal Rules Of Evidence And The Political Process, David P. Leonard

Fordham Urban Law Journal

An important tenet of American evidence law is the strict regulation on the introduction of character evidence. This principal has begun to be chipped away at through the adoption of amendments that allow character evidence to be introduced in certain types of cases. The Federal Rules of Evidence were subject to very little amendment during their first 20 years of use, and have always represented a blend of conservatism about evidence law and political compromise. This tension has been kept in check until the proposal of Rules 413-415, which represents a concession to the politicization of the rules. Before imposing …


The Battle Over The Brady Bill And The Future Of Gun Control Advocacy, Richard M. Aborn Jan 1995

The Battle Over The Brady Bill And The Future Of Gun Control Advocacy, Richard M. Aborn

Fordham Urban Law Journal

No matter how effective a legislative scheme is, legislation alone will not eradicate the deeply rooted culture of gun violence that exists in this country. Accordingly, Handgun Control divides its efforts between legislative and non-legislative efforts. In this regard, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence carries out the non-legislative interventions of Handgun Control. These efforts include working with elementary, secondary and high schools to promote a gun violence reduction curriculum; litigating on behalf of gun victims; defending gun control legislation in the courts; working with the entertainment industry concerning the messages in popular entertainment about gun violence; and working with …

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson Jan 1995

Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson

Campbell Law Review

Several courts have required female child abusers to choose between either going to prison or accepting the surgical implantation of Norplant as a condition of probation. In this Article, Mr. Jebson argues that a Norplant probation condition is invalid because it is both unreasonable and the probationer cannot give her informed consent to the procedure. Mr. Jebson argues that requiring a woman to choose between using Norplant and going to prison may violate her fundamental right to procreate, her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, and her right to freely exercise her religion. Further, the Author also …

Comparative Proportionality Review: Will The Ends, Will The Means , Bruce Gilbert Jan 1995

Comparative Proportionality Review: Will The Ends, Will The Means , Bruce Gilbert

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment attempts to achieve several objectives. Part II discusses the reasons that the death penalty was found to be unconstitutional in Furman v. Georgia. Part III reviews several post-Furman Supreme Court cases and the revised death penalty statutes that were deemed to satisfy the procedural inadequacies found in pre-Furman death sentence statutes. This Part also discusses the role proportionality review plays in making a death penalty statute constitutional. Part IV examines the development of comparative proportionality review in the State of Washington. State v. Benn will serve as the focus of this discussion. Part V demonstrates that Washington's application …
