    Clark V. Gore's Conviction: The Clark Case

    At the time of Dena Lynn Gore’s murder, Clark was out on bond awaiting appeal for a previous conviction. Clark was also facing charges for the abduction and rape of a six-year-old girl, however, sentencing had been postponed until after the trial for Gore’s murder. In his appeal, Clark stated that the courts erred in not sentencing him for his previous conviction prior to trying him on capital felony charges. Clark argues that the sentence he would have received for the first offense would have been a mitigating factor for the jury when tasked with determining Clark’s punishment. Had the jury been made aware that the cumulative sentencing for all convictions would have been enough to keep him imprisoned for life and with no possibility of…

    case brief

    FACTS: In August of 2003 Detective Shane Blankenship, a social worker, was assigned to investigate and interview Michael Shatzer about claims that Shatzer had sexually abused his three year old son. At the time of the investigation Shatzer was incarcerated at Maryland Correctional Institution-Hagerstown for an unrelated child-sexual abuse offense. Before asking Shatzer any questions, Detective Blankenship informed Shatzer of his rights, Shatzer then obtained a written waiver of those rights. Blankenship proceeded to end the interview, release Shatzer back into the general prison population, and end the investigation. After two years and six months, Dectective Hoover reopened the investigation, interviewed Shatzer's son who was now eight years old, who could now describe the incident in more detail. In March of 2006, Hoover went to Roxbury Correctional Institute to interview Shatzer about sexually abusing his son. After approximately 30 minutes of interviewing, Shatzer agreed to take a polygraph; in which he failed. At no point during this second interview did Shatzer request to speak to a lawyer or refuse to answer Hoover's questions without a lawyer present. After incriminating himself, Shatzer was charged with second-degree sexual offense, sexual child abuse, second-degree assault and contributing to conditions rending a child in need of assistance. In court, Shatzer moved to suppress his March 2006 statements in regards to Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 (1981). The trail court denied his motion. The Court of Criminal Appeals of Maryland reversed the trail courts decision stating that release of Shatzer back into the general prison population did not constitute a break in custody.…

    Prosecuting Argument

    The prosecution’s argument is that the defendant is not only guilty of the charges brought against him in the matter of State v. Stu Dents but is liable as well because he knowingly and purposefully committed the crimes on the victim, Uma Opee. All three elements, mens rea, actus reus, and concurrence were present at the time. Mr. Dents was very detailed and meticulous in the manner in which he went about, as he penned in fulfilling his destiny in the journal found by officers in his home. This is considered premeditated. Probable cause has been established in connecting the defendant tothe crime through DNA testing. Officers found mor than 300 photographs stapled to a wall in a locked room located in the back of the defendant’s home. Three counts of possession will be sought for the MDMA also known as ecstasy, cocaine, and methamphetamine drugs found in the defendant’s home. Kidnapping as the victim was taken by force from her place of residence. Signs of cuts and bruises on the victim’s shows Uma put up a struggle.

    Modern Day Witch Trials

    Children are susceptible to peer pressure. They are impelled to say things that are not true just to please certain people, or to stop brutal interrogations. In both cases people were urged to “believe in the children.” They were heedless of the fact that there was no strong evidence to back up any of the stories, which also varied (Source C). Parents in the McMartin Trial were encouraged to sit their kids down and have them questioned for two hours. These types of allegations destroy careers and change (innocent) lives forever. A member of the jury told reporters: “The interview tapes were too biased; too leading.” (Source E)…
