354-Week-1-DQ-1-recent
Is a trial really a search for the truth? What role does the
burden of proof play in this search for the truth? Discuss
factual guilt versus legal guilt on the outcome of a trial.
What do you think the purpose of a trial is? How can we
reach that goal and still maintain the rights we have
come to expect?

Every so often, I will post some questions that will be
entirely optional and are designed to help you with your
participation credits (hence, they are called
participation questions." Clever, huh?)
I thought I'd get the discussions going with a "break the
ice" question:
What do you think this course is about? What should it
be about?
What do you hope to get out of this course?

How, if at all, do you plan to apply lessons learned here
to your current careers? Future careers?

What is meant by reasonable doubt? How does
reasonable doubt differ from preponderance of the
evidence? Which is the better standard for use in a
criminal court? Why?

CJA 354 Week 1 Individual Criminal Law Paper NEW
Locate a recent criminal Supreme Court case you find
interesting. Provide a brief summary and properly cite
the case.
Write a 700- to 1,400-word paper in which you answer
the following questions:
• What interested you about this case? Do not use the
first person.
• What are the sources, purposes, and jurisdictions of
the criminal law related to this case?

• What is accomplice liability and criminal liability? How
does it relate to the case?
• What is the difference between the various elements of
crime, including actus reus, mens rea, and concurrence?
How do they relate to the case?
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Here are two typical undercover police operations:
1. Undercover officer approaches Able and asks
where he can buy some crack cocaine. Able steers the
undercover (u/c, in the biz) to Baker and says, “My man
here can help you.” The u/c then asks Baker for “two.”
Baker reaches to a window sill and removes two vials
containing crack, hands them to the u/c who gives Baker
$10. The u/c leaves the scene, radios a description of
Able and Baker and watches, from a safe distance, as his

back-up team swoops down and makes the arrest,
recovering the rest of the “stash” by the window sill and
the $10 bill in Baker’s pocket.
2. A police officer in plainclothes, lies on the floor on a
subway platform, appearing drunk and asleep. He has
several $20 bills sticking out of his pocket just ripe for
the picking. And pick someone does. Charlie, a man with
no criminal record, comes along, sees the sleeping
“drunk”, bends down and takes one of the bills from the
officer’s pocket. He walks away but is quickly
apprehended and charged with grand larceny: taking
property from the person of another (in New York, a
low-level felony).
Is either of these scenarios entrapment? Why or why
not? What differentiates each of these examples, if
anything? Compare and contrast these operations.

Discuss the effects of voluntary intoxication on
intentional crimes and voluntary actions. Is it a defense?
Does it reduce liability? Is it no defense at all? Why or
why not? What do you think the affect of voluntary
intoxication should be?

What is the definition of Criminal Law? How does
criminal law apply to the overall process of criminal
justice? How can we improve the backlog of criminal law
cases that have flooded the criminal justice court
system? Explain.

Complete the University Material: Week Two
Worksheet.
Each question in Part 1 is worth .25 points.
Each question in Part 2 is worth 1 point.
Cautions and Warnings: In Part 2, Question 3, you must
list the steps in briefing a case from both Contemporary
Criminal Law and Criminal Law Today. I expect to see
two lists.

In Part 2, Question 4, you are to explain what each part
of the citation for each case reperesents. I do not want
facts of the case, I do not want the decision. I want the
meaning of the citaton: the two parts of the name of the
case, the numbers and the letters, etc. Please ask if you
have any questions.

Adam Smith is angry with Karl Marx (not their real
names) and wants to engage Marx in a fistfight. Marx
refuses, but Smith won’t let it go and throws a punch
that lands on Marx’s chin causing a bruise. What it also
causes is Marx’s rapid descent to the sidewalk he was
just standing on. Marx topples backwards like a fallen
oak tree and slams his head on the concrete. Blood
starts trickling out of his left ear. Smith, frightened
(because he certainly didn’t intend for this to happen),
calls 911 and an ambulance soon arrives. To no avail.
Marx dies. What, if anything, should Smith be charged

with? Simple assault? Aggravated assault? Homicide? If
yes to the latter, which degree of homicide? Should he
not be charged with any crime? Explain your reasoning,
using your text and the case law and any research into
states’ laws you wish to find.

Jesse James goes into a bank, goes up to a teller,
produces a handgun and requests a quantity of
currency, preferably United States greenbacks. The
teller obliges and James leaves. The teller, a quick
thinker, hits the silent alarm button and the police soon
arrive. They find James and chase him. James, fleeing
from his pursuers, grabs a woman and uses her as a
shield to protect himself against the police. The officers
back off but, suddenly, James starts firing at the officers.
One of the officers takes careful aim, fires—and strikes
the woman hostage. She falls, mortally wounded. James

is quickly apprehended. Based on your readings and the
capstone cases, can James be charged with felony
murder? Why or why not? Support your answer with
logic, case law and whatever research you care to do.

A case I tried: Joe Smith is driving his full-size van down
a public street. Suddenly he decides to make a u-turn.
But, in order to do so, he has to climb the lane divider
that is 9 inches high. He guns his engine, turns the wheel,
hits the divider—and then jumps to the opposite
sidewalk, going diagonally across the street against
traffic. He jumps the curb, and slams into Juan Gomez,
smashing Juan into the wall and dragging him 25 feet
down the block. Joe then turns the wheel of his van,
dropping Juan to the sidewalk. Joe then runs over Juan’s
legs and turns back onto the street, facing the wrong

way. Joe stops. The police arrive and find him sitting on
the sidewalk. Juan is dead, his internal organs exploding
from the impact. The officer (whose real name is Johnny
Walker), smells Joe’s breath. Drunk. A blood alcohol test
reveals a .24 BAC, three times the legal limit.
Joe is an alcoholic because a serious accident severed
the fingers of one hand and he drinks to ease the pain.
He drives his van using the palm of his hand on a knob
on the steering wheel.
Joe was charged with two different types of homicide:
involuntary manslaughter and criminally negligent
homicide. Based on the readings and your view of the
case, if you were a juror deciding this case, which verdict
would you reach: guilty of involuntary manslaughter,
guilty of criminally negligent homicide, or not guilty of
all counts? Defend your answer as you would have to
during jury deliberations.

Rules For Power Point Presentations
A PowerPoint presentation is not merely a paper
divided up among slides. A PowerPoint is supposed to
be eye-catching and interesting to the viewer. In
addition to whatever words are on the slide, the slide
itself should have a meaningful background and
whatever graphics you feel are appropriate.
Aside from the graphics, the slides should contain bullet
points of what you will be "discussing". The bulk of the
information you are supplying will be in the speaker
notes. This is how a PowerPoint is presented to an
audience. The slides will give the headlines of what you
will be talking about and what the audience will see.
What you will be telling the audience, in explaining
those bullet points, is what you will write in the speaker
notes. These, therefore, must have all the information
you might have written in a paper.
I do not want to see a lot of verbiage in the slides, and I
do not want to see empty speaker notes. Leaving the
notes blank or including nothing but a reference is
insufficient.

Speaking of references, every slide and all speaker notes
must have cites as to where the information came from.
If photographs or other graphics (illustrations, etc.) are
used in the slides, these must be cited and referenced
also. And there must be at least one reference slide at
the end of the presentation (this and the title slide will
count towards the number of slides you are to provide).

Each matching question, 1-- 10, is worth .2 points.
Questions 11, 12 and 13 are worth 1 point each.

Crimes are considered a breach of the peace. And yet
crimes, for the most part, are wrongs committed against
individuals. Discuss the differences and similarities
between civil and criminal law; who gets to “punish” the
offender—the government or the individual? Or both?
Why? Who, in your opinion has the greater right? The
greater responsibility? Why? Use the OJ Simpson case as
an example.

Civil forfeiture rules allow the government to take
proceeds of a crime even when they have been used to
buy something else (a car, a house). But sometimes that
seizure involves innocent people. What do you think of
these asset forfeiture rules? Do they, in any way, benefit
law enforcement? Do they deter crime? Why or why not?

What is a public order crime? How do public order
crimes differ from other types of crime, as defined by
the criminal justice system? How can we improve the
ways in which the criminal justice system helps to
decrease the number of public order crimes? Explain.

Matrix..
Remember, there are three states plus federal laws to
discuss. Make sure all four are included.
Please read each question on the top row carefully and
answer what is asked. The first question, for example,
asks if marijuana is illegal in that jurisdiction. If
relevant, differentiate between recreational marijuana
and medical-use marijuana. The last question asks
about increased punishment for increased blood alcohol
level (in other words, extremely drunk). It is not

discussing repeat offenders; rather I want to know if
there is a higher level of intoxication than regular DWI,
what that level is and what the punishment for higher
level of intoxication is. Almost all states have such a law,
so answering "no" will, in all likelihood, be incorrect.
