First, he broke the department policy by not video recording the interview which was essential to built a solid case if they had confess in which he claimed the two did. Secondly, he did not have either of the young offenders guardian(s) present which was a grand mistake. Not only did he confess to intentionally crossing the line by avoiding bringing in the parents and including them in the interview he probably is also guilty of coercing them in the confession.

History The petitioner and his companion did not have counsel present and believed they were not formally charged. They believed it was unfair that they never got a line up. A motion to suppress the identification was denied at trial, and the petitioner and his companion were convicted for the robbery.
The officer then spun Terry around while patting him down and found a weapon. Terry tried to get the weapon dropped due to illegal search and seizure but was denied due to the fact that an officer is justified in conducting a brief search of a person whom is found to be potentially dangerous. Before an officer can interrogate a person according to the sixth amendment, they must be told the right to a counsel. This comes about after the Gideon v Wainwright case in 1961. A burglary had occurred at a pool lounge.

Jeffrey believes that the government secured his conviction unlawfully by suppressing evidence, that there was no evidence that supported Jeffrey’s account. The government countered by saying that the suppressed evidence was crucial to his ability to defend that non-factual members were at the crime scene and that many of those items were found under finger nail tips and other critical locations would logically be viewed as signatures left by the murders. The FBI lab releases a list of examined evidence, the debris from the club was wool black fibers not pajama top wool fibers. Murtagh proclaims he did not know about the fibers and signs an affidavit swearing so. In 1986 Beasley gives a statement of facts to Ted L. Gunderson.
Summary of the Case Eric Michael Clark was charged with murdering an Arizona police officer. Clark was a paranoid schizophrenic and was not able to submit evidence during his trial that would exonerate him of the ability to commit the crime charged. Under Arizona law, Clark was permitted to present evidence of his psychiatric condition to support an insanity defense. Arizona law states that an insanity defense must establish by clear and convincing evidence that as a result of mental illness at the time of the crime he “did not know the criminal act was wrong.” ("Clark v. arizona," 2006) The judge in Clark’s case refused to consider psychiatric evidence to reject his mens rea, due to nonsupport of Arizona case law. Clark’s conviction was also sustained by The Arizona Court of Appeals.
OJ had written a book called "If I did It" Where he lays out how he would have committed the murder. Why would anyone even want to write a book about the crime if you really had nothing to do with it? Simpson is protected by double jeopardy, he can't be put on trial for the crime again. He pretty much confessed everything about the crime in the book, but the cops can’t do anything about it now. The problem that made the prosecution lose the case was the fact that the police mismanaged the evidence and made the jury have enough doubt not to convict OJ
Jack The Ripper Who doesn’t recognize Jack the Ripper as one of the most notorious killers of all time? He was never caught and was one of the first serial killers to prey on innocent citizens. I don’t believe that it was the fault of the police for not capturing Jack the Ripper for many reasons. Apart from the lack of technology which limited the police to witnesses there are many other significant reasons for never finding and stopping the Whitechapel murderer. Although there is overwhelming evidence to say that the police did their best there are still two sides to the argument.
