Criminal Law And Procedure - Inexperience Of Defense Attorney As Denial Of Fair Trial

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to be electrocuted.

Criminal Law And Procedure-Instructions To Jury

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was indicted for unlawful possession of liquor.

On appeal, the circuit court held that the charge, while drastic, was not error, as there were no controverted facts, and hence nothing for the jury to do but convict. United States v. Notto, (C. C. A. 2d, 1932) 61 F. (2d) 781.

Michigan Law Review

Held, that this conduct was a contempt of court in that it was an obstruction of the processes of justice. Clark …
