Ramifications Of The 1997 Dwi/Felony Prior Record Level Amendment To The Structured Sentencing Act: State Of North Carolina V. Tanya Watts Gentry, William Thomas Kesler Jr. Jan 1999

Ramifications Of The 1997 Dwi/Felony Prior Record Level Amendment To The Structured Sentencing Act: State Of North Carolina V. Tanya Watts Gentry, William Thomas Kesler Jr.

Campbell Law Review

It is the purpose of this note to examine pertinent general statutes and case law to determine whether using previous DWI convictions as both elements in habitual impaired driving and towards the defendant's prior record level is truly "contrary to the laws of this state". First, this note will look at the 1997 amendment to the Structured Sentencing Act, and how its effects led to the controversy in Gentry. Next, this note will examine an overview of North Carolina's jurisprudence of the habitual felon statutes and the habitual impaired driving statute in order to provide a look at the attitude …


North Carolina's Unconstitutional Expansion Of An Ancient Maxim: Using Dwi Fatalities To Satisfy First-Degree Felony Murder, Graham T. Stiles Jan 1999

North Carolina's Unconstitutional Expansion Of An Ancient Maxim: Using Dwi Fatalities To Satisfy First-Degree Felony Murder, Graham T. Stiles

Campbell Law Review

This Comment argues that using a traffic fatality to satisfy the felony-murder rule is inappropriate. When the State prosecutes a DWI fatality under the felony murder rule, it diminishes the concept of an ancient doctrine. If it is the goal of the State to give life sentences or the death penalty for DWI fatalities, then it is the responsibility of the North Carolina General Assembly to enact a statute specifically dictating such punishment rather than the court judicially imposing the punishment through their interpretation of the felony-murder rule.

Book Review, David S. Tanenhaus Jan 1999

Book Review, David S. Tanenhaus

Scholarly Works

In his engaging The Supreme Court and Juvenile Justice, political scientist Christopher P. Manfredi argues that Americans in the 1990s are still feeling the powerful and unintended consequences of a trilogy of Supreme Court decisions, Kent v. United States (1966), In re Gault (1967), and In re Winship (1970). In Gault, the most famous of these cases, Justice Abe Fortas announced that it was time for the “constitutional domestication” of the nation’s juvenile courts and began this process by extending limited due process protection to offenders during adjudicatory hearings. Fortas believed that these protections would shield juveniles from unlimited …

Searching For The "Tail Of The Dog": Finding "Elements" Of Crimes In The Wake Of Mcmillan V. Pennsylvania, Richard G. Singer, Mark D. Knoll

Seattle University Law Review

Part II of this Article will examine the historical importance of punishment as a litmus test in the common law in finding the elements of an offense. In Part III, the historical approach used by federal courts when value or quantity was at issue will be analyzed in order to round out the pre-McMillan framework. Part IV will discuss the McMillan decision, as well as the post-McMillan regime. Part V will analyze Jones v. United States, the case now pending before the Court, in which the Court may have its last chance to correct the error of McMillan and …

Women's Equality In The Canadian Criminal Justice System: Something Less Than A Fair Shake, P. Michael Cantlon Jan 1999

Women's Equality In The Canadian Criminal Justice System: Something Less Than A Fair Shake, P. Michael Cantlon

LLM Theses

This thesis examines the issue of gender equality in the Canadian criminal justice system. It dissects two specific issues, the disclosure of a sexual assault complainant's therapeutic or counselling records and the prosecution of domestic assault charges. Within these two issues it is argued that the criminal justice system has failed to treat female victims of violent crime fairly and equally. Moreover, it is suggested that this failure is anchored in a neglect of the appreciation of the unique gender issues connected to these matters within a contextual framework. With regards to the disclosure issue, a fundamental tenet, the presumption …


The Independent Counsel Statute: A Legal History, Benjamin Priester Jan 1999

The Independent Counsel Statute: A Legal History, Benjamin Priester

Journal Publications

The independent counsel statute has been one of the most-if not the most-controversial federal laws of its time. A presence on the national stage for twenty years, it will expire on June 30, 1999, unless Congress affirmatively acts to save it. As the other articles in this issue of Law and Contemporary Problems attest, the statute's future seems bleak, perhaps even if substantial revisions are made. Numerous other sources also have heaped praise, criticism, and everything in between upon the statute. A law with so dark a beginning and so storied a political history may be doomed to extinction. Among …

Abrogating The Exclusionary Rule Outside Of The Criminal Trial Context? Pennsylvania Board Of Probation & Parole V. Scott: One Step Closer To A Per Se Rule In Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence, Richard F. Dzubin Jan 1999

Abrogating The Exclusionary Rule Outside Of The Criminal Trial Context? Pennsylvania Board Of Probation & Parole V. Scott: One Step Closer To A Per Se Rule In Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence, Richard F. Dzubin

University of Richmond Law Review

As citizens of the United States, most of us would abhor warrantless police intrusion into our homes. The Fourth Amendment protects all citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures. When unaccompanied by a valid search warrant, a search of a residence is presumptively unreasonable. Thus, the law proscribes overly-aggressive investigatory methods that trammel the rights of American citizens. What happens, however, when the protected right belongs to a paroled felon suspected of violating the conditions of his parole? In Pennsylvania Board of Probation & Parole v. Scott, the United States Supreme Court refused to extend to parolees the remedies which are …

Identification Of The Unknown Soldier And The Fight For The Right To Anonymity: The Human Genome Project And Implications Of A National Dna Database, Kelly S. Erbes Jan 1999

Identification Of The Unknown Soldier And The Fight For The Right To Anonymity: The Human Genome Project And Implications Of A National Dna Database, Kelly S. Erbes

Cleveland State Law Review

The focus of this writing is the use of DNA for identification purposes and the issues that arise when genetic traits and/or predisposition to physical or mental conditions are linked to the individual specifically, along with the implications of a national DNA database as a system of identification. It has become the general rule that it is not an unreasonable invasion of privacy to take DNA for the purpose of identifying criminal offenders through a DNA database. This writing will examine the potential for nonconsensual inclusion of nearly everyone into such a system, as well as the ramifications in the …


Appellate Review Under The New Felony Sentencing Guidelines: Where Do We Stand , Mark P. Painter Jan 1999

Appellate Review Under The New Felony Sentencing Guidelines: Where Do We Stand , Mark P. Painter

Cleveland State Law Review

Now that it has been more than four years since Senate Bill 2 became effective, this is a good time to analyze the cases to see where courts stand in their interpretations of the guidelines. This article will review the case law and show how different courts have dealt with the legislation. My analysis concentrates on one aspect of the guidelines in particular: the standard of review that appeals courts have used to determine the propriety of sentences. To illustrate my points, I focus on the issue of when judges can impose maximum prison sentences under the guidelines, one of …
