P.351 & P.13 Homework Questions DeVry University P.351 Case Analysis 1) First thing that led the defendant to believe he was a victim of double jeopardy was the fact that the United States sought entry of default against him multiple times for the same offense. Second thing was the concurrent 72 month sentences he received, that led him to claim double jeopardy, because of the fact that he forfeited some of the properties listed in the plea. I do not know the details of the plea bargain but it seems the defendant got played by the system. Legally I do not believe he was a victim of double jeopardy at all. He just got outwitted 2) The legal question before the court was “What then are the elements of a criminal offense and, by extension, of a civil claim?” 3) From reading this case I see Civil forfeiture as being where police and prosecutors can seize your car or other property, sell it and use the proceeds to fund agency budgets with or without a person being charged.

Inquisitorial System or Adversarial system The difference between Inquisitorial System and adversarial system is a great question. The difference is that an inquisitorial system is a legal system where the judge is involved in investigating the case. The inquisitorial also is where you are automatically guilty and have to prove that you are innocent. Where an adversarial system is where the judge is like an impartial referee between the prosecution and the defense. The adversarial system is where you are innocent until proven guilty.
Pearson then claimed that the found pants were not his because they had cuffs, and sued the Chungs for $67 million. Issues, Laws and Verdict Roy Pearson sued the Chungs claiming that the Chungs violated D.C. consumer protection laws (Consumer Protection Procedures Act or CPPA). Specifically, that the Chungs committed fraud because they did not live up to the promise of a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign hanging in the store (Bartnoff, 2007, p. 1). In her “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” on the case, Judge Bartnoff (2007) wrote that Pearson expected, “an unconditional warranty that required the defendants to honor any claim by any customer, without limitation, based on the customer’s determination of whatever would make that customer ”satisfied.”” (p. 1) Included in the suit were claims that he had been subject to “mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort” at the hands of the Chungs (O’Rourke, 2007 p.10). So Pearson sued for common law fraud and violations of the CPPA, but did he present enough evidence to support his claims in court?
Bernie Madoff Scandal-The King of Ponzi Schemes This particular ethics case scrutinizes Bernie Madoff scandal in detail. This is an intriguing case that delves into how Bernie Madoff was able to conceal such large scale fraud for number of years. With this said, an appropriate problem statement for this specific case would be, “The SEC, along with number of those who had knowledge of the fraudulent activity simply swept the scandal under the rug”. Although the single largest issue concerning this case was Bernie Madoff’s blatant disregard for other in conducting the fraud, this fraud could have been detected at a much earlier stage. As the case illustrated, there were dozens of serious and valid red flags that SEC was bombarded with by efforts made from Harry Markopolos.
The undercover officer immediately gave the description of the dealer (Hill, 2008). Another officer showed Brathwaite picture to the undercover officer and the undercover officer identified Brathwaite as the seller. The issue that the Court had was whether identification produced by unnecessarily suggestive procedures is by per se inadmissible or reliable. The Court finds that a per se rule is not appropriate. The Court concludes that reliability is the essential in determining the admissibility of identification testimony.
