The defendant, Jermaine Peayre Carter, was convicted of distribution of marijuana and flight from an officer following a jury trial. Carter arranged to sell marijuana to a confidential informant in a store parking lot. When a police officer approached Carter after the drug deal and ordered him to stop, Carter fled by jumping into a vehicle and participating in a high-speed chase with police. On appeal, the court found sufficient evidence to support the convictions, noting that Carter's actions aided the driver in fleeing from police, making Carter a principal to the crime of flight from an officer.

punitive damages for law suits involving malicious prosecution false arrest j...Ray W Smith
A jury awarded $97.5 million in damages against a town and police officer for the shooting death of a former mayor.

Evidence was presented that the officer had been fired from multiple other police departments for misconduct and that the shooting may have been retaliatory. A separate case involved a veteran with PTSD who was awarded $360,000 after an officer allegedly used excessive force during an arrest, aggravating his injuries. A third case discusses a mother who was awarded $57,400 after being falsely arrested when her neighbor complained about her children, with the punitive damages later reduced to $550,000.

WV Supreme Court Decision Disallowing Survey Access for Mountain Valley PipelineMarcellus Drilling News
A West Virginia Supreme Court decision in Mountain Valley Pipeline v. Brian and Doris McCurdy. Mountain Valley needs survey access in order to scope out a route for the pipeline. Some landowners are resisting survey access and don't want the pipeline built across their land. Mountain Valley claimed eminent domain powers in order to conduct surveys. The high court has disagreed, leaving the project in a lurch. They must complete the route survey in order to get the project approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The document is a motion filed by the defense attorney Ralph Megna on behalf of their client, who has been indicted on drug and paraphernalia charges. The motion requests several forms of relief from the court, including inspection of grand jury minutes, dismissal of indictment, a Huntley hearing on statements made by the defendant, a Wade hearing on identification procedures, disclosure of Brady material, a Sandoval hearing, and leave to make further motions. The attorney provides supporting arguments for each request.

Custody Issues in Context of Domestic Violence for Muslim and Non-MuslimASMAH CHE WAN
This document discusses domestic violence and child custody issues in Malaysia. It begins by defining domestic violence and outlining the relevant laws in Malaysia, including the Domestic Violence Act 1994. It then examines cases related to determining custody when domestic violence or marriage breakdown has occurred. The court aims to consider the welfare of the child and wishes of all parties involved. Custody is determined differently for Muslim and non-Muslim families. The document also discusses what constitutes proof of marriage breakdown, including behaviors relating to domestic violence, under civil and Syariah laws in Malaysia.
The appellate court found that the trial court erred during a post-trial Marsden hearing when it incorrectly warned the defendant that discussing the circumstances of the robbery could waive his right to remain silent. The warning likely prevented the defendant from fully explaining his reasons for believing his counsel was ineffective. However, error alone does not require reversal; prejudice must be shown. Unlike other cases, the record here does not demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not prejudiced by the error. The court reversed and remanded for a new Marsden hearing without the erroneous warning.
Three sentences:
Aniruddha Sherbow has been charged in the District of Columbia with transmitting threats in interstate commerce for leaving a threatening voicemail for Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and sending an email threatening to decapitate her.

Law of Duress in Malaysia and United KingdomASMAH CHE WAN
This document discusses the defense of duress in criminal law in Malaysia, the UK, and Singapore. It begins by defining duress as a defense that excuses criminal liability if the accused committed a crime due to threats that reasonably caused fear of instant death. It then examines the key elements of duress according to Malaysian law, including that the threat must be directed at the accused, involve fear of instant death, and require the physical presence of the coercer. The document also analyzes relevant case law and compares how duress is treated in common law versus under the Malaysian Penal Code.

Former state water official files federal civil rights lawsuit against Las Ve...This Is Reno
Robert Coache has applied to receive an official exoneration by the State of Nevada after serving time in prison for crimes the Nevada Supreme Court later dismissed for lack of evidence. Whether he is granted that status, however, remains to be seen.
Coache, who spent 16 months in prison, could be eligible for $50,000 a year for each year served, under a 2019 law passed by the Nevada legislature.
It’s a drop in the bucket compared with the $5 million in damages he is now seeking in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed against Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and the Clark County District Attorney’s Office.
Coache faced 49 charges, “spent over sixteen months in prison and was on parole for conspiracy to commit extortion by public officer or employee, extortion by public officer or employee, conspiracy to commit asking or receiving bribe by public officer, asking, or receiving bribe by public officer, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and forty-four counts of money laundering,” his attorneys said.
The Nevada Supreme Court in 2019 dismissed the 49 charges against him citing lack of evidence.
Court awards attorney fees to This Is Reno in public records lawsuit against ...This Is Reno
Washoe County District Court Judge Kathleen Drakulich this week awarded costs and attorney fees to This Is Reno in its public records lawsuit against the Reno Police Department.
Last year, This Is Reno sued RPD for failing to follow Nevada public records laws. Drakulich partially agreed. She said RPD failed to respond to a number of This Is Reno’s public records orders within the time frame required by law – up to seven months in one case.
Drakulich, however, said RPD properly denied the release of documents relevant to open investigations. She also said RPD can continue to redact officer faces from body worn cameras, a practice This Is Reno attempted to challenge.
Body cam redaction policies are inconsistently applied in Nevada. Most other states in the country do not redact officer faces, a point the Reno city attorney said was irrelevant.
In Nevada, some law enforcement entities are redacting officer faces from videos. That includes the back of officer heads, in RPD’s case.
The reason for the redactions, according to the Reno city attorney: The law prohibits the release of an officer’s photograph to the public unless the officer gives permission for the release.

This affidavit alleges that Joseph Sullivan obstructed justice and committed misprision of a felony related to his actions while serving as Chief Security Officer at Uber Technologies from 2015 to 2017. Specifically, the affidavit alleges that Sullivan failed to disclose to the Federal Trade Commission a data breach at Uber in 2016 that compromised millions of user records, despite Sullivan's intimate involvement in Uber's ongoing response and cooperation with an FTC investigation into Uber's data security practices. The affidavit provides probable cause to believe Sullivan committed obstruction of justice, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1505, and misprision of a felony, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 4.
FindLaw | Court of Appeals Reverses Entry Bar to Islamic ScholarLegalDocs
This document summarizes a United States Court of Appeals case regarding the denial of a visa for Tariq Ramadan, an Islamic scholar. The three organizational plaintiffs claimed the denial violated their First Amendment right to have Ramadan share his views in the US. The government denied the visa because Ramadan had contributed funds to a charity that supported Hamas, which the government deemed material support to a terrorist organization. The Court of Appeals concluded that the consular officer who denied the visa did not properly confront Ramadan with the allegations, which prevented Ramadan from demonstrating that he did not know the charity supported terrorism. The Court vacated the decision and remanded the case for further proceedings.

CITE TITLE AS: Palsgraf v Long Is. R.R. Co.
OPINION OF THE COURT
CARDOZO, Ch. J.
Plaintiff was standing on a platform of defendant's railroad after buying a ticket
to go to Rockaway Beach. A train stopped at the station, bound for another place. Two
men ran forward to catch it. One of the men reached the platform of the car without
mishap, though the train was already moving. The other man, carrying a package, jumped
aboard the car, but seemed unsteady as if about to fall. A guard on the car, who had held
the door open, reached forward to help him in, and another guard on the platform pushed
him from behind. In thi.
This document outlines the rights of persons arrested, detained, or under custodial investigation according to Republic Act No. 7438. It guarantees the right to counsel at all stages of investigation and interrogation. It also ensures the rights of the accused to remain silent, be informed of their rights, have extrajudicial confessions made in writing and signed in the presence of counsel, and be visited by family/clergy. Violations of these rights carry penalties of imprisonment and fines. The document also discusses preliminary investigations and inquest procedures conducted to determine whether a person should be charged in court.
Eldon Spiers is charged with assault in the fifth degree, misdemeanor kidnapping, and gross misdemeanor stalking for attacking Kate Lamb in a college parking lot. Kate was grabbed from behind and dragged towards the woods by Spiers. She broke free and jumped off a bridge to escape other men. Spiers intended to cause Kate fear of harm and attempted to remove her against her will. Probable cause exists to believe Spiers committed the offenses.
This document is a reply brief filed by defendants Dismas Charities, Inc., Ana Gispert, Derek Thomas, and Lashanda Adams in response to the plaintiff's response brief and in support of the defendants' motion for summary judgment. The brief summarizes that the plaintiff was transferred to a Dismas facility and agreed to follow various rules as part of his transition from prison back into the community, but violated these rules by driving without permission and possessing a cell phone. As required, Dismas reported the violations to the Bureau of Prisons, which returned the plaintiff to prison. The defendants argue they are entitled to summary judgment on the plaintiff's claims of false arrest, imprisonment, assault, battery and malicious prosecution

This document is a reply brief filed by defendants in response to the plaintiff's response brief and in support of the defendants' motion for summary judgment. It summarizes that the plaintiff was transferred to a community corrections facility (Dismas) as a transition from federal prison, and agreed to follow its rules. However, the plaintiff admitted driving without permission and possessing a cell phone, in violation of the rules. As a result, he was returned to federal prison to serve the remaining 68 days of his sentence. The brief argues the defendants are entitled to summary judgment on the plaintiff's claims of false arrest, assault, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, negligence and constitutional violations, as the plaintiff cannot prove the elements of these claims or that
The appellate court unanimously reversed the defendant's conviction of attempted rape, attempted criminal sexual act, and assault. It found that the prosecutor committed pervasive misconduct during summation that substantially prejudiced the defendant and denied him due process. Specifically, the prosecutor improperly invoked "safe streets" arguments, denigrated the defense, mischaracterized the DNA evidence, and denigrated the defendant's decision to invoke his right to trial. The court determined that this misconduct caused substantial prejudice and the evidence against the defendant was less than overwhelming, requiring reversal of the conviction and a new trial.
Richard Walchuk pleaded guilty to conspiracy, wire fraud, and securities fraud charges related to offenses committed between October 2008 and June 2008. He was sentenced to time served and ordered to pay a $300 special assessment. No fine or restitution was imposed. The judgment document provides details of the charges and sentencing as well as standard conditions for any term of supervised release, though none was imposed in this case.
This public notice disputes false information about Stanley Kornafel that was published without his permission. It alleges that federal and state judges, courts, lawyers, and justice departments colluded to deny Mr. Kornafel his rights and deprive him of a fair trial in several legal cases. Specific court documents and rulings are referenced to show how critical facts were omitted or false statements were made. The notice asserts that Congress is complicit by allowing such injustices to be common practice. It encourages people to verify the facts by examining court records and a book written on the topic.

Strategic Prosecution Planning
In Weeks 2 through 4, you will follow a scenario as a case moves from initial crime through sentencing. This scenario is representative of many real-world cases where multiple jurisdictions are involved. As the case progresses, the relevant laws and various parties (police officers, attorneys, community members, and so on) all affect how the case moves through the criminal justice system. Each week, you will receive additional information that may influence how you interpret the case or choose to proceed.
This week, you review the case from the perspective of a
prosecutor
.
Review
the scenario presented in Week 2 and the additional information provided below:
Federal and state law-enforcement officers were to interview the witnesses at the post office and canvass the immediate area for additional evidence. Police reviewed surveillance from several businesses nearby and identified an individual who matched the description given by the witnesses at the post office. This individual was observed on camera entering a vehicle with license plate 123-ABC. Police officers identified the female, Ms. Conspirator, to whom the vehicle was registered, and interviewed her regarding her involvement in the post office robbery. Ms. Conspirator eventually identified the male subject that carried out the robbery as Mr. Stamps.
Below are the relevant state and federal criminal statutes applicable to the robbery.
State Code
If any person commit robbery by partial strangulation, or suffocation, or by striking or beating, or by other violence to the person, or by assault or otherwise putting a person in fear of serious bodily harm, or by the threat or presenting of firearms, or other deadly weapon or instrumentality whatsoever, he shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in a state correctional facility for life or any term not less than five years.
United States Code Section (18 U.S.C. 2114):
(a) Assault.— A person who assaults any person having lawful charge, control, or custody of any mail matter or of any money or other property of the United States, with intent to rob, steal, or purloin such mail matter, money, or other property of the United States, or robs or attempts to rob any such person of mail matter, or of any money, or other property of the United States, shall, for the first offense, be imprisoned not more than ten years; and if in effecting or attempting to effect such robbery he wounds the person having custody of such mail, money, or other property of the United States, or puts his life in jeopardy by the use of a dangerous weapon, or for a subsequent offense, shall be imprisoned not more than twenty-five years.
(b)
Receipt, Possession, Concealment, or Disposal of Property.— A person who receives, possesses, conceals, or disposes of any money or other property that has been obtained in violation of this section, knowing the same to have been unlawfully obtained, shall be imprisoned not m.
Analysis of scenario Management homework help.docxbkbk37
This document provides a scenario for a criminal case involving a post office robbery. It describes how federal and state law enforcement officers investigated and identified two suspects, Ms. Conspirator and Mr. Stamps. Relevant state and federal criminal statutes regarding robbery are also presented. Students are asked to analyze whether the case should proceed in state or federal court as a prosecutor. They must consider factors like jurisdiction and double jeopardy issues. Students must also discuss the roles of attorneys, court personnel, juries, community members, and police officers during the criminal trial process and how each can impact the trial.
York County, Virginia General District Court Filing Traffic CourtChuck Thompson
http://www.gloucestercounty-va.com Posted for a story posted on the linked website dated April 22nd, 2015. Shows how the court ignored the rules of the court and railroaded a person who was fraudulently charged in our opinion.
The Supreme Court granted the petition seeking to reverse the orders of the trial court judge who acquitted the respondents of drug charges. The Supreme Court found that the trial court judge gravely abused his discretion in granting the demurrer to evidence filed by the respondents. The police officers directly witnessed the illegal drug sale that occurred during a buy-bust operation. The testimonies of the police officers established that the respondents were caught in flagrante delicto negotiating and carrying out the sale. The Supreme Court ruled the trial court ignored clear proof that the elements of the crime were established.
This document defines substantive and procedural criminal law and outlines the history and sources of criminal law. It discusses different types of crimes like homicide, assault, sexual assault, and theft. It also covers criminal law concepts such as mens rea, defenses, standards of proof, and differences between criminal and civil law.

DISCUSSION
The defendantcontendsthe evidence wasinsufficientto supporthisconvictionforflightfromanofficer.
He arguesthat since the state stipulatedthathe wasnotthe driverof the vehicle involvedinthe high
speedchase,he shouldnothave beenconvictedof thatoffense.
A claimregardingsufficiencyof evidence isproperlyraisedbyamotionforpost verdictjudgmentof
acquittal.However,if the defendantfailstomake suchmotion,the issue will be reviewedonappeal
whenraisedbya formal assignmentof error.LSA–C.Cr.P.art.821 and art. 920; State v. Howard,31,807
(La.App.2dCir.8/18/99),746 So.2d 49, writdenied,1999–2960 (La.5/5/00), 760 So.2d 1190. In reviewing
the sufficiencyof the evidencetosupporta conviction,the reviewingcourtmustdeterminewhether,

All personsconcernedinthe commissionof acrime,whetherpresentorabsent,andwhether they
directlycommitthe act constitutingthe offense,aidandabetinitscommission,ordirectlyorindirectly
counsel orprocure anotherto committhe crime,are principals.LSA–R.S.14:24. A principal isliable to
the same extentasthe personwhodirectlycommitsthe crime ormay be convictedof a lowerdegree of
the crime.State v. Youngblood,45,576 (La.App.2dCir.9/29/10), 48 So.3d 1122; State v. White,42,725
(La.App.2dCir.10/24/07), 968 So.2d 901. See also,State v. Wright,2001–0322 (La.12/4/02), 834 So.2d

In State v. Hines,465 So.2d 958 (La.App.2dCir.),writdenied467 So.2d 536 (La.1985), a Wildlife and
Fisheriesagent,alongwithtwosheriffs'deputies,attemptedtomake asafetycheckof a boat bypulling
behindthe boatand activatingablue signal light.The boatspedawayat a highrate of speed.Duringthe
chase,the officersobservedthe defendant,whowasapassengerinthe boat,throw several garbage
bags containingillegal game fish,fromthe boat.The defendant'sconvictionsincludedresistinganofficer
by flight.ThisCourtaffirmedthe conviction,stating:
[The officers'] actions,coupledwithdefendant'sreactiontotheirpresence,clearlyestablishdefendant's
knowledge thatthe agentwaspursuinghiminhisofficial capacityandintendedtoarresthim.Inthe
instantcase,[the officers] appropriatelyconveyedtheirintentiontodetaindefendantsbyturningto
pursue theminthe clearlymarkedWildlife andFisheriesboatwithitsblue lightflashing.The factthat
defendant'sflightdidnotbeginuntil OfficerMorristurnedonhisblue signal light,factuallysupportsour
conclusionthatthe defendantwasaware thathe was beingpursuedbyalaw enforcementofficial
attemptingtomake an arrestor detention.Althoughthe defendantwasnotthe driverof the boat, his
actionsinattemptingtodispose of evidence bythrowingthe bagsof fishoverboard,tendstoshowthat
the defendantwasanactive participantin the flightfromthe officers.Thus,hisactionsaidedand
abettedthe driverinfleeingfromthe officers,makinghimaprincipal underthe termsof La.R.S.14:24.
Id.at 962 (internal citationsomitted).
In the instantcase,the state'sevidence showsthatOfficerHillenconveyedhisintentiontodetainthe
defendantbyorderingthe defendanttostopand pointinghisweaponatthe defendant.The
defendant'sactionsof lookingfromthe officertothe vehicle showsthathe wasaware that the officer
was attemptingtodetainhim.The flightbeganwhenthe defendantrefusedtosurrender,jumpedinto
the vehicle andfledthe scene withhisaccomplice.The vehicle waspursuedbyapproximately20
markedpolice vehicles,all withlightsandsirensactivated.Althoughthe defendantwasnotthe driverof
the vehicle,hisactions—jumpingintothe vehicle andthrowingthe marijuanaoutof the window of the
4. speedingvehicle—supportsthe jury'sconclusionthathe wasan active participantinfleeingfromthe
officers.The defendantclearlyaidedandabettedSmithintheirattemptedescape,therebymakingthe
defendantaprincipal tothe crime.Consequently,we concludethatthe state presentedamplefactual
evidence tosupportanyrational jury'sfindingthatthe defendant knowinglyparticipatedinthe
commissionof the crime of flightfromanofficerbeyondareasonable doubt.Thisassignmentlacks
merit.
The defendantalsocontendshisrighttoa fairtrial was violatedbythe trial court'sfailure toissue a
subpoenato the confidentialinformantinvolvedinthe drugtransaction.He arguesthat he made
repeatedrequestsforthe subpoenatobe issued,buttono avail.
A reviewof the recordshowsthatthe defendantmade fourseparate requestsforasubpoenatobe
issuedtothe informant.Ina requestdatedJanuary25, 2010, the defendantidentifiedthe personas
“The Police SIDrugDeal Girl,” butprovidednofurtheridentifyingname oraddressforthe person.On
April 14, 2010, the defendantsubmittedasecondsubpoenarequestfor“The DrugBuy Female whothe
Drugs where [sic] soldtoo[sic]!”Intwootherrequests,July14 andAugust24, 2010, the defendant
identifiedthe informantas“The Drug BuyFemale SI‘Donna’whothe Drugs Where [sic] soldtoo[sic]!”
The defendant contendsexceptionalcircumstancesexistedbecause the “identityandappearance of the
undercoverconfidential informantwere crucial tothe defense of the case.”He arguesthat the
informantcouldhave corroboratedSmith'stestimonythatthe defendanthad noknowledgethata drug
transactionwasgoingto take place anddidnot participate inthe transaction.
The record showsthat the defendantdidnotfile anypretrial motionstoobtainthe disclosure of the
informant'sidentity.4
Nevertheless,the trial courtissuedthe subpoenasasrequestedbythe defendant.
Thus,the defendant'sargumentthatthe trial court failedtoissue the subpoenasiswithoutmerit,
particularlyinlightof the fact thatthe defendantneverrequesteddisclosure of the confidential
informant'sidentity.
CONCLUSION
For the reasonssetforthherein,we affirmthe defendant'sconvictionsandsentences.
