Judicial Control Over The Sufficiency Of The Evidence In Jury Trials, Stanley B. Long Aug 1929

Judicial Control Over The Sufficiency Of The Evidence In Jury Trials, Stanley B. Long

Washington Law Review

One has only to read the first few chapters of Thayer's Prelimmary Treatise on Evidence to realize that the history of trial by jury, from its beginning until the present day, records a continuous struggle to prevent the rendition of unreasonable verdicts. When the jury was really a body of witnesses summoned to try the case on their own knowledge, rather than upon evidence produced in court, it was sought to control their verdict by attaint. By this proceeding a new jury would be summoned to re-examine the issue tried by the first jury, and if the second found that …

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.

Applications Of Character Evidence In Civil And Criminal Cases, Gerald Chargin Jan 1929

Applications Of Character Evidence In Civil And Criminal Cases, Gerald Chargin

Student Theses

The various rules of evidence which permit or exclude the
introduction of one's character or reputation, as possessing
probative value are all based upon a policy of the law, the
aim of which is to safeguard the courts against the risks of
erroneous verdicts.  This policy assumes that truth in the long
run will best be attained by the exclusion of certain kinds
of evidence or if allowable, upon certain conditions imposed,
in order to guide the deliberations of the judge or juries to
just verdicts.


Admissibility Of Evidence Obtained By Wire Tapping, Robert L. Howard Dec 1928

Admissibility Of Evidence Obtained By Wire Tapping, Robert L. Howard

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

The United States Supreme Court was recently called upon to consider a novel aspect of the problem of search and seizure and the admissibility of illegally obtained evidence. Several persons had been convicted of a conspiracy to violate the National Prohibition Act. The information which led to the discovery of the conspiracy and its nature and extent was largely obtained by intercepting messages on the telephones of the conspirators by four federal prohibition officers. The primary question considered by the Supreme Court was whether the use of such evidence of private telephone conversations between the defendants and others, intercepted by …

Admissibility In Federal Courts Of Evidence Wrongfully Obtained By Persons Other Than Federal Officers Or By Cooperation Between Such Persons And Federal Officers, Marion A. Marquis Oct 1928

Admissibility In Federal Courts Of Evidence Wrongfully Obtained By Persons Other Than Federal Officers Or By Cooperation Between Such Persons And Federal Officers, Marion A. Marquis

Washington Law Review

It is a firmly established rule in the federal courts, that evidence obtained by an illegal search and seizure, within the purview of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, is not admissible providing timely steps are taken for its exclusion or return. However, that rule is limited in its application to federal officers or agents, so that quite generally it may be said, that evidence obtained by private,mdividuals or municipal or state officers, acting as such, is admissible in federal courts, regardless of the manner in which it is obtained.

Telegraph, Telephone And Wireless-Tapping Jan 1928

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 …
