INTEROFFICE MEMORANDIUM OF LAW TO: Max Martin, JD. From: Peyton Gegory, Paralegal. DATE: March 10, 2024. RE: Mary Robins V. Detective Stone. OFFICE CLIENT: Mary Robins. OFFICE FILE NUMBER: 12345 DOCKET NUMBER: TBD123. INTRODUCTION: It has been asked that we look into Mary Robbins's case. According to Robbins, she was wrongfully imprisoned, accused of robbery, and severely injured by Detective Stone. We are going to go over why I think Ms. Robbins has a strong case against Detective Stone. FACTS: The.. On June 1, 2020, a lady identifying herself as "Sally Robbins or Robinson" stole from Jack Davidson. After informing the authorities, Officer Becky Stone spoke with Mr. Davidson and obtained his statement on June 5, …show more content…
What is the difference between a. and a. Considering the Constitution allows for the lawful arrest of someone who is wrongly thought to be someone else if the arresting officer: (1) had probable cause to arrest the person sought; and (2) reasonably believed that the person detained was the person sought. This was the case in Jones v. State, 192 State Rprt. 534 (1993). A police officer is not required by the constitution to investigate the matter further or locate information that would clear the suspect once they have found enough facts to establish probable cause. Assistant District Attorney Canton thought Detective Stone lacked probable cause. It is believed that it is likely that Mary Robbins will prevail in a false imprisonment case if there was no probable …show more content…
What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? No, the people incarcerated with Mary are the ones who caused harm. However, we could counter that if Detective Stone hadn't been so anxious to imprison her, the injuries could have been prevented. Also, it was traumatizing for Ms. Robbins to have guns pointed at her while she was on the ground in front of her neighbors during the arrest. 4. What is the difference between a.. It is true that Mr. Davidson initially positively identified her in his remarks and picture lineups. This could be used as an initial probable cause. In the instance of Com. V Hanson, a probable cause, was found because of identification in a picture lineup. State Ordinance 21 S.O. 4578 and. V Hanson is why it is important for us to diminish the credibility of this probable cause. 5. What is the difference between a'smart' and a'smart'? We could argue that Mr. Davidson's assertions during the line-up, when he yelled, "She is still out there," contradicted his first initial statement when he positively identified her in the picture lineup. Moreover, his history of mental illness makes it difficult to fully believe whatever he
A summary of the case details (provide the circumstances surrounding the case, who, what, when, how)
A well-nourished, well-developed Hispanic female named Anna Garcia standing at 65 inches, 165 pounds and in her late thirties was found dead in her house after her concerned neighbor Doug Greene was suspicions as to why she didn't take her dog out like she did normally, and why the dog was barking constantly for two hours. The police received a call from Greene on August 31st at 9:45 am and arrived at the crime scene at 9:56am.The police found Anna lying face down in the hallway. Authorities observed a pool of blood around her head and some vomit beside her. It was 73 degrees inside Anna’s house, while it was 92 degrees outside. Anna was last seen alive by her former husband, Alex Garcia the night before her death. Investigators measured her rectal temperature, and came to a conclusion that she died at 7:00 am in that same morning. A medical examiner was also called to perform an autopsy to see what really caused Anna's death.
When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.
On the evening of Ms. Heggar¡¦s death she was alone in her house. Eddie Ray Branch, her grandson, testified that he visited his grandmother on the day that she was killed. He was there till at least 6:30 p.m. Lester Busby, her grandnephew, and David Hicks arrived while her grandson was still there and they saw him leave. They then went in to visit with Ms. Heggar. While they were there, Lester repaid Ms. Heggar 80 dollars, which he owed her. They left around 7:15 p.m. and went next door to a neighboring friend¡¦s house. David Hick¡¦s went home alone from there to get something but returned within ten minutes of leaving. Because he was only gone for 5-10 minutes, prosecution theorized TWO attacks on Ms. Heggar because he could not have killed his grandmother during this 5-10 minute period alone. At 7:30 p.m., 15 minutes after the two had left, an insurance salesman called to see Ms. Heggar. He knocked for about 2 or 3 minutes and got no reply. Her door was open but the screen door was closed. Her TV was on. He claimed to have left after about 5 minutes and then he returned the next morning. The circumstances were exactly the same. With concern, he went to the neighbor¡¦s house and called the police. His reasoning for being there was because the grandmother¡¦s family had taken out burial insurance three days before she had died.
The court’s decision based on the treatment of young people in this case emphasizes on the concept of social justice, which means the fair allocation of wealth, resources and opportunity between members in a society. The appellant in this case, Louise Gosselin, was unemployed and under the age of 30. She challenged the Quebec Social Aid Act of 1984 on the basis that it violated section 7 of her security rights, section 15 of her equality rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and section 45 of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. For the purpose of this essay, we shall explore the jurisprudence analysis of section 7 and section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 7 states that everyone has the
Carla Washburn, an incredible, inspirational woman that has sadly witnessed the 3 closest male figures in her life all pass on. This has resulted in Carla becoming depressed over the unbearable experience. Carla embraced in giving back to the community and that’s not surprising because she’s a person of spirituality. While, Carla is the client and is suffering through grief, it’s likely she’d benefit immensely from creating a program to work with the kids in the community and may give her a sense of worth she’s been seeking since these 3 tragedies.
Reasonable Suspicion is a standard used in criminal procedure, more relaxed than probable cause, that can justify less-intrusive searches. For example, a reasonable suspicion justifies a stop and frisk, but not a full search. A reasonable su...
The significance of this pursuit is to substantiate to the people beyond a doubt that Abigail Williams is guilty of conspiring to murder Elizabeth Proctor. I am confident that the evidence I will present will indeed authenticate the criminal accusations against Abigail Williams and shall make it clear that she is guilty of all charges brought against her.
Because police investigators are usually under pressure to arrest criminals and safeguard the community, they often make mistakes. Sometimes, detectives become convinced of a suspect 's guilt because of their criminal history or weak speculations. Once they are convinced, they are less likely to consider alternative possibilities. They overlook some important exculpatory evidence, make weak speculations and look only for links that connect a suspect to a crime, especially if the suspect has a previous criminal record. Picking Cotton provides an understanding of some common errors of the police investigation process. During Ronald Cottons interrogation, the detectives did not bother to record the conversation “But I noticed he wasn 't recording the conversation, so I felt that he could be writing anything down”(79) unlike they did for Jennifer. They had already labelled Ronald Cotton as the perpetrator and they told him during the interrogation “Cotton, Jennifer Thompson already identified you. We know it was you”(82). Jenifer Thompson 's testimony along with Ronald Cotton 's past criminal records gave the detectives more reason to believe Ronald committed the crime. Ronald Cotton stated “ This cop Sully, though, he had already decided I was guilty.”(84). Many investigative process have shortcomings and are breached because the officials in charge make
Born into a wealthy family, Lizzie Borden was able to hire a formidable defense team consisting of the former governor of Massachusetts George Robinson and Andrew Jennings for an astounding twenty five thousand dollars, roughly six hundred fifty thousand dollars today. The influence of George Robinson who was very well respected throughout Massachusetts may have played a significant role in the acquittal of Lizzie but if definitely couldn’t have hindered her defense. The experience of seasoned attorney Robinson coupled with the inexperience of District Attorney William Moody and the shortcomings of the Fall River Police Department set the stage for an awe inspiring sequence of events leading to the acquittal of Lizzie Borden.

The Lizzie Borden case has mystified and fascinated those interested in crime forover on hundred years. Very few cases in American history have attracted as much attention as the hatchet murders of Andrew J. Borden and his wife, Abby Borden. The bloodiness of the acts in an otherwise respectable late nineteenth century domestic setting is startling. Along with the gruesome nature of the crimes is the unexpected character of the accused, not a hatchet-wielding maniac, but a church-going, Sunday-school-teaching, respectable, spinster-
On October 19, 1927, a “feebleminded,” young woman was robbed. This young woman’s name is Carrie Buck and her ability to conceive children was taken from her without her consent or knowledge. This decision would not only impact those already affected by unauthorized sterilization, but for those whom would later be sterilized. The Supreme Court’s ruled the sterilization of Carrie Buck to be constitutional on the grounds of it being better for society, better for the individual, and eugenic evidence.
I wanted to look at the investigative and criminal procedures following the arrest of an alleged criminal and the powerful effects via testimonies and evidence (or lack thereof) it can have on a case.There is an importance of the courts in regards to crime that can’t be over looked. The primary function of the criminal justice system is to uphold the established laws, which define what we understand as deviant in this society.
