The Supreme Court's Construction Of The Self-Incrimination Clause, Edward S. Corwin
The Supreme Court's Construction Of The Self-Incrimination Clause, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution reads as follows: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized." The so-called "self-incrimination clause" of Amendment V reads as follows: "No person * * * shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."
Crimes-Alibi-Instructions As To Particular Evidence
Crimes-Alibi-Instructions As To Particular Evidence
Michigan Law Review
In a prosecution for robbery the defendants introduced evidence as to an alibi and requested a charge which contained the proposition that the evidence on this point had merely to raise a reasonable doubt as to their presence at the scene of the crime to entitle them to an acquittal. The court refused this request, but had previously instructed the jury that the burden rested with the state to prove the guilt of the. defendants beyond a reasonable doubt. Held, that it was reversible error to refuse the charge requested. People v. Vasquez (Cal. App. r928) 26g Pac. 549.

Telegraph, Telephone And Wireless-Tapping
Telegraph, Telephone And Wireless-Tapping
Michigan Law Review
A recent Federal case, Olmstead v. United States, suggests an interesting problem. Evidence obtained by Federal authorities, who tapped private telephone wires, was admitted in a criminal prosecution. It seems to be the general rule that fraudulently, wrongfully, or illegally procured evidence is admissible, if otherwise admissible. And certainly the courts have required telegraph companies to disclose messages to aid criminal prosecutions. Telegraph operators have been compelled to testify. And even where a state statute forbade disclosure of the message by the company, a subpoena duces tecum has compelled the production of a telegram to aid the courts. Testimony …

Crimes-Charge To Jury
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was indicted for murder and manslaughter under sections 15224-5, 3 Compiled Laws of Michigan 1915. The judge gave charges for first and second degree murder and for manslaughter. There was no evidence of murder. A manslaughter verdict was returned. The case was reversed because the murder charge was unsupported by any evidence, and because the defendant was hampered in cross examination. People v. Stahl, 234 Mich. 569, 208 N. W. 685.

Administrative Law-Evidence-Probative Value Of Hearsay Testimony Before Administrative Tribunals
Administrative Law-Evidence-Probative Value Of Hearsay Testimony Before Administrative Tribunals
Michigan Law Review
In the recent case of Lloyd-McAlpine Logging Co. v. Whitefish (Wis. 1926) 206 N. W. 914, the plaintiff brought action to vacate the award of the Industrial Commission in favor of the children of the deceased workman, who was killed in the course of his employment with the plaintiff company. Under the Wisconsin statute (Stat. 1925, sec. 102.11 (3) (c)) in awarding compensation to the children, a showing that they were living with the deceased and that there is no surviving dependent parent, is required. The Commission, on the testimony of a witness whose expressions were mere conclusions, with no …
Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will
Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will
Michigan Law Review
There are, perhaps, very few matters upon which ordinary men are more reticent than the testimentary disposition of their property. The testator, having made his will, often practices the utmost secrecy regarding it, evading questions and, sometimes, even violating the truth in order to preserve peace among his kinsmen until he is gone. And yet, when proceedings are brought for the purpose of contesting the will, we often find the courts admitting in evidence statements made by the testator before or after the making of the will. In a recent California case, in response to the objection that the alleged …

Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction
Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction
Michigan Law Review
Among the most prolific and endless sources of litigation of recent times are the so-called "dead man statutes", which forbid the surviving participant in a contract or other transaction to testify regarding it unless the opposing party waives the restriction. These statutes lay down a rule of thumb which treats all cases, meritorious or unmeritorious, exactly the same. In attempting to apply them to the cases the courts have made one fine distinction after another, only to interject still finer ones in between, until the whole· makes a labyrinth in which suitor and court have often found themselves hopelessly lost. …

Wills--Admissibility Of Parole Evidence To Show Mistake Of Scrivner
Wills--Admissibility Of Parole Evidence To Show Mistake Of Scrivner
Michigan Law Review
Perhaps very few legal questions have given rise to more controversy than that of the admissibility of parol evidence to show the intent of a testator. An interesting phase of the general question was presented to the supreme court of errors of Connecticut in the recent case of Stearns v. Stearns, (Conn. 1925) 130 Atl. 112. Parol evidence was offered to show that the testatrix intended to devise and bequeath all the residue and remainder of her estate to her husband and that instructions were so given to the scrivener but he failed to draft the will in accordance …

Proof Of Good Faith, Jason L. Honigman
Proof Of Good Faith, Jason L. Honigman
Michigan Law Review
Section 59 of the Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law provides, that, "Every holder is deemed prima facie to be a holder in due course; but when it is shown that the title of any person who has negotiated the instrument was defective, the burden is on the holder to prove that he or some person under whom he claims acquired the title as holder in due course. But the last mentioned rule does not apply in favor of a party who became bound on the instrument prior to the acquisition of such defective title." Numerous questions of interpretation have arisen in …

Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Michigan Law Review
One of the most disputed present day questions is whether evidence obtained in violation of constitutional guarantees against unreasonable searches and seizures should be admissible. The case of Weeks v. United States is perhaps the leading authority upon the proposition that evidence procured by officers through unreasonable search is not admissible. The holding may be justified upon how theories, vis., (1) that the admission of the evidence substantially violates the rule against self-incrimination in the Fifth Amendment, (2) that the exclusion of the evidence is the only practical means of enforcing the guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Res Ipsa Loquitur-A Presumption Of Law?
Res Ipsa Loquitur-A Presumption Of Law?
Michigan Law Review
As a general proposition the rule of res ipsa loquitur may be said to apply in those instances where a plaintiff is injured and the instrumentality causing the injury is in the complete control and management of the defendant or his servants and the circumstances are of such a nature that ordinarily no injury would result unless there was some negligence on the part of the defendant The rule finds its justification, it is commonly said, in the fact that the defendant being in control of the instrumentality has almost exclusive means of finding the came of the injury while …

Conflicting Presumptions-Evidence-Adultery
Michigan Law Review
The statutes of Oregon prescribe certain presumptions as applicable in the trial of causes, among which are, 1st, that one charged with crime shall be presumed to be innocent, and 2nd, that "a man and a woman deporting themselves as husband and wife" shall be presumed to "have entered into a lawful contract of marriage". Subd. I and subd. 30 of sec. 799, Or. L.
Irresistible Impulse And Criminal Liability, John Barker Waite
Irresistible Impulse And Criminal Liability, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
Do you believe in free-will, or mechanistic determinism, or fore-ordination, or fatalism? What do you mean by 'irresistible impulse'? What is the purpose of this prosecution against which you advocate, or deny, irresistible impulse as a defense; and just what do you mean by 'defense'? If, instead of one question, "is irresistible impulse a defense", we should ask these other questions of counsel, judge and medical expert, how often would their answers be in accord? Yet the one question can never be intelligently discussed in the absence of certainty and agreement as to the other premises. There are certain combinations …
