It is difficult to hold prosecutors accountable for acts of misconduct. Since prosecutors are often viewed as the “good guys” by the public, many times unethical, as well as illegal acts will be tolerated by the courts and criminal justice system as a whole. Prosecutorial misconduct is considered any action taken by the prosecutor in a criminal case that is against the law and/or unethical. Prosecutorial evidence can be anything from harassing witnesses on the stand, pressing unfounded charges against defendants, tampering with evidence, withholding evidence, up to taking bribes. Prosecutors can sometimes get away with misconduct as it is extremely difficult to prove that misconduct had actually taken place.
I disagree with plea bargaining for the fact that if they did something once and get a plea bargain many will think of it as they got away with something, also they may think if they do something again they will think they can get another plea bargain deal. Topic 2: In Court - What would you do? Wow this is a difficult situation. I would not tell because… CI’s play a vital role in the investigation of many types of crimes, especially drug trafficking and other varieties of criminal collusion. The information they furnish tends to be quite accurate, as demonstrated by the high percentage of productive search warrants
Others may think the exclusionary rule should not be used to enforce the Fourth Amendment. They feel at times it is necessary for the exclusionary rule to not be used. I can understand their position because they are looking at putting the accused defendant behind bars and make sure they are punished to the fullest. At times without the exclusionary rule, the case in court can succeed and get the result the prosecution and maybe even what the public want. Sometimes people feel the defendant has too many rights and has more benefits, which could help them get away with criminal activity.
The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again. Sonny probably feels like if he lets anyone get too close to him and he confides too much in someone than he will lose control, and the other members of his gang will no longer listen and respect him. In the course of the movie Sonny only looks out for himself and sometimes Cologero. For example, after Sonny accused Cologero of putting something dangerous on his car, he told him to get out of his reckless friends car and get in his car. Even though it did not seem like it, this was Sonny’s way of apologizing to Cologero for flipping out earlier in the film.
It is time for school. You are going to be late. Kate: (coming downstairs) Gosh Mom, do you really need shout? We are in the same house after all. Jessica: I’m sorry honey, it is just that Emily wont eat her breakfast and I have to be at work in 45 minutes, take her to her school and the traffic is insane downtown.
Although he knew that Sunny did it, but he refuse to tell the police. After questioning, Clogero said to his father “I did a good thing right” His father reply to him by saying you did a good thing for a bad person. He asked his father what he means by that and he said you will understand when you grow up. After that incident Sunny started to show respect to his dad and he offered him a job. Mr. Lorenzo Anello (Calogero father) refuses the offer and he said he is better of driving a city bus.
When Victor and Thomas come to the trailer where people find Victor’s father, the first thing comes to Victor’s mind is there might be something valuable in there and where his father’ money is. Moreover, Thomas saves Victor’s life in the past by rescuing him from thousands of wasps. It is unbelievable that Victor goes to his old job to ask for money for his personal problem; even after the tribal council tries to explain that they are having the difficulties in finance and the fund providing against similar situations is just used to bring trial members’ bodies, Victor still insists to have some money. Moreover, it is no doubt that Victor cares so much about the possession which his father may leave for him that
I believe that Larry’s father did actually give up his liquor temporarily because he was very diligent in calculating the money he saved from not drinking. He got caught up in his success and started assuming himself above others who squandered his money, so it was his pride that allowed him to continue his abstinence from alcohol. Larry’s father was a prideful man, like when he talked to the people at the funeral, so in one sense, his pride was good for him. However, Larry’s father did gave in when he had a celebratory
But in contrast there are very different at the same time. The crime control model is used in the criminal justice system for the prevention of crime. The crime control does not exclude that is possible to make a mistake, but based on the circumstances of the laws, the person is considered guilty until her or she is proven innocent. This model is based on old fashion laws which allow rapid and speedy convictions despite the mitigating factors of the case and the victim. The results, of the crime control model are wrongful convictions, being over-turned and this is a major downfall in the criminal justice system.
Although Spurgeon is angry with his father, Ray Bivens Jr. and does not seem to understand him, he has a great desire to reconnect and somehow be close with his father. An example of this great desire would be when he drove down to get Ray Bivens Jr. out of jail. Spurgeon knew that he was not supposed to go down there and that his mother told him not to go but because it was his father he did it anyways. Another example would be when he was at the bar with his father, and his father was trying to get the keys and drive off with Farrah. Spurgeon and his father ended up getting into a fight about his father leaving with his mother’s car.
