On Jan. 4 this year, a warrant was issued for Bond’s arrest after he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon doing great bodily harm. John Hicks, a family friend for 25 years, stood with Rivera outside the crime-scene tape and talked about Bond. “He told me they’d have to kill him before he’d go back to jail,” Hicks said. Diaz said his officers had been looking for Bond and found him at his mother’s home. Officers had been watching the residence, and about 2:45 p.m. Saturday, Bond left on his bicycle.

This would typically include interviewing potential witnesses, determining what happened, and putting the pieces together. On an incident such as the Michael Brown slaying in St. Louis, witnesses couldn’t be taken as seriously as usual simply because of the uproar within the community. Any witness would automatically determine fault to be on the police officer. Investigators may read between the lines, though, often determining what truth is and what lies are. When video released of the Rodney King beating, South Central Los Angeles was
We learn the backstory of a head of police; his daughter was also abducted and killed many years ago. As the film moves forward, we are led to believe that the drug lord took the girl in revenge, but we soon discover that it was in fact the head of police, caring for the girl and protecting her from harm. The main investigator, who makes this discovery, is caught in a moral dilemma, but chooses to return the girl to her rightful family, and abide by the law. This sparks many questions about what we ourselves would do in this situation, and how we would react. Do you return the girl, to her loving yet broken and unstable family clouded with drugs?
Although, There was a tremendous amount of damning evidence against Pickton that the jurors deciding his fate did not hear during his year-long trial in 2007, including an allegation from a sex-trade worker that he nearly stabbed her to death. A series of behind-the-scenes legal rulings meant explosive Crown evidence was kept from the jury, which ultimately found Pickton not guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of six women, but guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Whether the six murders Pickton was convicted of committing were sex crimes was never debated during the trail, because the victim’s remains did not provide the evidence. When prosecutor Michael Petire told the jury at the end of the prosecution‘s case on August 13, 2007 that he was “satisfied the evidence the Crown should be calling has been called, “what he surely meant was that he had called the evidence he was allowed by the law to reveal to the jury. Some of the information such as most of the evidence pertaining to the other 20 victims was held back from the jury after the judge ruled in August 2006 that Pickton should face two separate trials; the first one on six counts, and the second one on 20 counts.
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution involving the clause of double jeopardy states that no person shall “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb…” This statement gives no right to the government to prosecute or punish a criminal for the same offense. Going through trial in a case is not only financially straining for both the court and the individual but also emotionally. There are three conditions necessary for a defendant to have protection under double jeopardy against a second prosecution. The earlier prosecution must progress to the point of jeopardy attachment. Second, a prosecution must then involve the same offense.
She felt he sabotaged the Wall Street Journal by allowing the New York Times to run the story. P&G’s position on their actions was stated as being due to the “significant and ongoing leaks of our confidential business data, plans and strategies.” They filed a complaint which resulted in a grand jury investigation. It was based on 1967 and 1974 laws which made it a crime for employees to give away articles representing trade secrets and prohibits employees from disclosing confidential information. Reporters are protected by the First Amendment and in Ohio, “shield-laws” protect the reporters’ confidential sources identity. The Ohio laws’ interpretation was ambiguous; therefore, P&G’s claims were unfounded.

Say a man or woman was witnessed shooting, stabbing, or even running over a member of his family or a stranger. The man or woman would be interviewed, anyone who was around that witnessed the crime take place would be interviewed by the investigators so they could make sure that no details were left out. Sometimes when an investigator is doing their investigation the suspect may not be known or you might not have enough evidence against the suspect to identify them as the murderer. If this happens then the investigation may go on for a long time sometimes even years before more enough information is found or the investigation can be officially given up on. Investigators will follow up on tips made by witnesses or through the community and individuals who know anything about a murder are encouraged to contact law enforcement in an effort to bring the criminal to justice.
