Jury.Nullification.Essay2
The document discusses the concept of jury nullification, which occurs when jurors deliberately disregard the law or refuse to apply the law based on their own sense of justice. It provides examples of jury nullification throughout history, such as during prohibition and in cases of civil rights violations. Both opponents and proponents of jury nullification are discussed. Opponents argue it undermines the rule of law and impartiality of juries, while proponents believe it can prevent unjust laws from being enforced in particular cases. The document concludes by arguing jury nullification impinges on citizens' rights more than it serves a practical purpose.
Race-Based Jury Nullification
The document discusses race-based jury nullification, where jurors vote to acquit a defendant based on their race rather than the facts of the case. Both arguments for and against race-based jury nullification are presented. Examples of cases where race-based nullification may have occurred include the 1931 Scottsboro trial and the 1992 Rodney King beating trial. While race-based nullification could allow guilty offenders to go free or innocent people to be convicted based on biases, others argue it provides flexibility for community standards and has occurred historically.
The right to trial by jury
This document discusses the importance of trial by jury in both the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It provides a quote from Supreme Court Justice Byron White emphasizing that the right to a jury trial was established to protect against unfounded criminal charges and biased judges. The document then discusses jury selection (voir dire) and the role of lawyers in questioning potential jurors. It notes that in most U.S. jurisdictions, lawyers play a significant role in voir dire, but in some areas like federal courts, judges conduct most of the questioning with limited lawyer participation.
Jury nullification cja 344
The document discusses jury nullification and whether ethnicity influences courtroom proceedings. It provides background on two issues regarding race and the criminal justice system: that minorities receive harsher sentences than whites, and dissatisfaction with public defender services and plea bargaining. The document also discusses a case where three teens were acquitted of serious charges in the beating death of a Mexican immigrant, which elicited cheers. Scholars are discussed who view ethnicity-based jury nullification as either a way to vote against injustice or as a danger to society.
Terry-v-Ohio’s-4th-Amendment-Legacy
This document discusses Terry v. Ohio, a landmark 1968 Supreme Court ruling that upheld the power of police to "stop and frisk" individuals. While the ruling was intended to check police discretion, the author argues it has failed to curb arbitrary searches and "frisks", especially of black men. The summary provides examples from recent news reports detailing instances where black men continue to be subjected to stops, questioning, and searches by police without reasonable suspicion. The author contends Terry's legacy has paradoxically given police powers that disproportionately impact the black community, despite being issued by the liberal Warren Court that did much to promote civil rights.

FPTP - The death of Trayvon Martin
Trayvon Martin’s killing and the subsequent acquittal of his accused murderer, George Zimmerman, reopened an old wound in American society and showed how decades, perhaps even centuries old conflicts in the country have never gone away. One Twitter post immediately after the verdict urging people to ‘remember to set your clock back 50 years’ sums up the way many in the African-American community felt about the verdict. Martin, a then 16 year old African-American youth was fatally shot by a neighbourhood watchman after a fight broke out and the latter’s gun was allegedly used in self-defence.
FelonyDisenfranchisementEllis
This document summarizes a paper on the social and legal implications of felony disenfranchisement in 2016. It discusses how felony disenfranchisement laws have disproportionately impacted African Americans since the Civil Rights era. Over 6 million Americans are currently disenfranchised, including a disproportionate number of African Americans. The author argues that reforms are needed to restore voting rights upon completion of sentences to reintegrate ex-felons into their communities. However, finding a balanced solution that satisfies all parties will be challenging given the conflicting interests around state sovereignty, punishment, and civil rights.

The document discusses barriers to voting for formerly incarcerated individuals in California. It finds that over 60% of participants in community input sessions reported confusion over their voting eligibility due to criminal convictions. Their status changes as they move through the criminal justice system, and they are sometimes provided incorrect information. While California law allows voting for those on probation or after completing their sentence, many formerly incarcerated people remain unaware of their rights or believe they must take extra steps to register again. Compliance with a 2014 law requiring probation departments to post voting rights information online or in offices has been limited.
15th amendment
The 15th Amendment granted African Americans the right to vote after the Civil War. However, Southern states were able to circumvent this through laws like literacy tests and poll taxes, effectively denying African Americans their voting rights. As part of the Compromise of 1877 that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election, the federal government agreed to withdraw troops from the South and allow states to determine racial issues. This led Southern states to pass more discriminatory voting laws, disenfranchising African American and other minority voters through the early 1900s.

Criminal Justice Commission Chair Statement
The document discusses the disproportionate impact of the criminal justice system on communities of color and calls for reform. Key points:
- People of color, especially Black and Hispanic men, are incarcerated at much higher rates than whites, despite similar rates of drug use and crime.
- Racial disparities exist at every level, from policing and sentencing to employment opportunities post-release.
- The growth of the for-profit prison industry creates perverse incentives to incarcerate more people, especially minorities, to guarantee profits.
- Meaningful reform is needed to dismantle systemic racism in the criminal justice system and address it as a civil rights issue. Some local initiatives show promise in reducing racial dispar
The 15th amendment
The 15th Amendment granted African Americans the right to vote but Southern states found ways to bypass this and disenfranchise black voters through measures like literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses. A compromise in 1877 removed federal troops from the South, allowing Democratic legislatures to impose these discriminatory voting laws and unleash a reign of terror by groups like the KKK to intimidate black communities and strip African Americans of political power.
VOTING FEATURE
1) Missouri has debated stricter voter ID laws for over a decade, with Republicans generally pushing for them and Democrats opposing. In November, voters will decide on a ballot measure that could make Missouri's voting requirements the strictest in the nation.
2) Proponents argue stricter laws prevent voter fraud, but studies show very little evidence of voter impersonation fraud. Opponents argue they disproportionately impact minority, elderly, student, and Democratic voters.
3) A 2010 state house election was swung by two family members committing voter fraud for one candidate. However, the proposed laws may not have prevented this specific incident of fraud involving false voter registration.

“Give us the ballot, and we will no longer have to worry the federal government about our basic rights.
Give us the ballot, and we will no longer plead to the federal government for passage of an anti-lynching law; we will by the power of our vote write the law on the statute books of the South and bring an end to the dastardly acts of the hooded perpetrators of violence.
Give us the ballot, and we will transform the salient misdeeds of bloodthirsty mobs into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens.
Give us the ballot, and we will fill our legislative halls with men of goodwill and send to the sacred halls of Congress men who will not sign a “Southern Manifesto” because of their devotion to the manifesto of justice.
Give us the ballot, and we will place judges on the benches of the South who will do justly and love mercy, and we will place at the head of the southern states governors who will, who have felt not only the tang of the human, but the glow of the Divine.
Give us the ballot, and we will quietly and nonviolently, without rancor or bitterness, implement the Supreme Court’s decision of May seventeenth, 1954.”
"Give Us the Ballot (Links to an external site.)” was delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr at the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957, in Washington. D.C.
Introduction
We just passed the first anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, where domestic terrorists sought to overthrow the November 2020 election and decertify votes of mostly historically excluded groups (HEG’s) or those originally left out of the Constitution. Some of the insurrectionists were seen wearing anti-Semitic attire and insignia affiliated with white supremacist groups. Dr. Robert Pape from the University of Chicago analyzed the demographics of 377 alleged insurrectionists who were arrested. His report (Links to an external site.) found that those arrested came from communities with a decreased population of White people and an increase in diverse populations. Dr. Pape noted, “We’re finding evidence that the key driver is fear that rights of Hispanic people and Black people are outpacing the rights of white people.” The FBI (Links to an external site.) has issued several warnings on the increase in “domestic terrorism” and white supremacy in America ...

Can Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans refuse to seat validly elected D...Reflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
Since the Republicans control the House of Representatives, could Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans object to the seating of some, or maybe all, of the duly elected Representatives belonging to the Democratic Party?
This has happened in the past, immediately after the end of the Civil War Congress refused to seat the congressmen elected from the former states of the Confederacy. We ask this important question: Is this valid legal precedent today?

“Give us the ballot, and we will no longer have to worry the federal government about our basic rights.
Give us the ballot, and we will no longer plead to the federal government for passage of an anti-lynching law; we will by the power of our vote write the law on the statute books of the South and bring an end to the dastardly acts of the hooded perpetrators of violence.
Give us the ballot, and we will transform the salient misdeeds of bloodthirsty mobs into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens.
Give us the ballot, and we will fill our legislative halls with men of goodwill and send to the sacred halls of Congress men who will not sign a “Southern Manifesto” because of their devotion to the manifesto of justice.
Give us the ballot, and we will place judges on the benches of the South who will do justly and love mercy, and we will place at the head of the southern states governors who will, who have felt not only the tang of the human, but the glow of the Divine.
Give us the ballot, and we will quietly and nonviolently, without rancor or bitterness, implement the Supreme Court’s decision of May seventeenth, 1954.”
"Give Us the Ballot (Links to an external site.)” was delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr at the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957, in Washington. D.C.
Introduction
We just passed the first anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, where domestic terrorists sought to overthrow the November 2020 election and decertify votes of mostly historically excluded groups (HEG’s) or those originally left out of the Constitution. Some of the insurrectionists were seen wearing anti-Semitic attire and insignia affiliated with white supremacist groups. Dr. Robert Pape from the University of Chicago analyzed the demographics of 377 alleged insurrectionists who were arrested. His report (Links to an external site.) found that those arrested came from communities with a decreased population of White people and an increase in diverse populations. Dr. Pape noted, “We’re finding evidence that the key driver is fear that rights of Hispanic people and Black people are outpacing the rights of white people.” The FBI (Links to an external site.) has issued several warnings on the increase in “domestic terrorism” and white supremacy in America ...

Can Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans refuse to seat validly elected D...Reflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
Since the Republicans control the House of Representatives, could Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republicans object to the seating of some, or maybe all, of the duly elected Representatives belonging to the Democratic Party?
This has happened in the past, immediately after the end of the Civil War Congress refused to seat the congressmen elected from the former states of the Confederacy. We ask this important question: Is this valid legal precedent today?

Civil War 2 7th Issue Infowars Magazine
The document discusses preparations by authorities in the US for potential civil unrest. It notes that stirring unrest has long been a tactic used by global banking elites to loot nations and seize control of their assets. The US remains a key target for this strategy. Evidence of preparations in the US include passage of laws allowing indefinite detention of citizens, aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers, government spying on social media to monitor signs of unrest, and construction of huge spy centers to monitor communications. The trend suggests authorities are readying to exploit social unrest to further financial interests, using a tested method of destabilization.

Right to Vote_2022.pdf
The document discusses the importance of the right to vote in a democratic society. It notes that citizens often take this right for granted or do not exercise it, despite how hard others fought to achieve it. While some parts of the world still experience violence and oppression, citizens in the U.S. have the right to vote for their representatives, which is fundamental to a democratic system. However, the system does not always fully encourage or allow citizens to vote freely. The right to vote is protected by amendments to the U.S. Constitution that prohibit denying citizens the right to vote based on race, sex, failure to pay a poll tax, and age for those over 18.
Right to Vote
They all say that they are playing with the fire for freedom, and the right to live. That is right, it is the RIGHT to have RIGHT, and it is worth dying for to have the RIGHT. A RIGHT to speak; a right to have expressed; above all a right to select our representatives – the voting right is the right of an American Citizen that many are jealous of, at least that is what we are told. This is fundamentally critical for a civilized nation of a democratic class to have voting right. As President Abraham Lincoln best described democracy as the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people." For that government to be "by the people," however, requires that the people decide who shall be their leaders including Mayors, congressmen, senators, governors, and the president.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
