Hello Professor and class,

The internet really has made miracles come true. It has helped others open businesses or even open online businesses, and many have been successful. It can be hard, getting all of the legal documents and work done in order to open a business, but then you have the geniuses at Www.Legalzoom.com to help you make your business legal and assists you with any documents that you may need help with filing or filling out, and many other things.
Some people think that everything that one does can be displayed on the internet. I am not sure that I am 100 percent on board with that. Granted, there is A LOT of things that you do online that can come up in something as simple as a Google search, but then again, how much of that information is made up and how much of it is true. Even though you are referring to a state website to get information, does that necessarily make it true? About a year ago, I was with some friends who decided to make some really dumb decisions, and instead of leaving, I stayed with them, and I ended up getting in trouble, also. These charges are a Grand Larceny and a Burglary! I would never do either of those, yet I was being criminally charged for them. When you google my name, the charges come up, but the charges were Not Processed or (Nolle Prosque)[Sp]? Yet they are still under my name. I have to have an attorney expunge them, and they can be since they were dropped by the state. Anyhow, how valid is that web-site that states that I have those charges on my record? Not too reliable if you are trying to get an accurate report. That is where I stand with this. How reliable are the sources that are on the internet, and how do we know if they are valid or not? I think that the answer relies on the person asking the question. Are you one to just believe what you see, or are you one to second guess something that you hear. We can refer to the telephone game for a

    Looking at the situation at hand it’s was easy to that my Uncle Bob was in a sticky situation. Though he was caught for speeding it came to a surprise that he was placed in back of the squad car. But then I realized that obliviously the charges that my uncle was facing in California were obviously federal charges. For example, transporting minors cross state lines or transporting narcotics across state lines. When dealing with federal charges they follow you know matter where you go. So when they pulled up the informatio from my uncle driver’s license on the computer everything came up along with his charges. And if he is facing extreme charges he should have never left California until all charges were dealt with.…

    In the movie, My Cousin Vinny, when Bill and Stan went to Alabama, they thought they were getting pulled over because Bill stole some tuna fish. The county Sherriff pulled them over with his gun drawn. Now to me, the fact the Sheriff had his weapon pointed at the suspects stood out to me. So, at best, Bill and Stan could have been pulled over and approached with no weapons drawn and then properly searched. However the sheriff felt as though he had probable cause to pull them over. This is exactly what would be done in a typical situation if a felony or misdemeanor is believed to have been committed. Unbeknownst to the pair, they were being pulled over for a felony, which according to our text, is “a relatively serious offense punishable by death, a fine, or confinement in a state or federal prison for more than a year.” (Bohm and Haley, p.35) Now, I am unsure of the proper procedures for pulling someone over when it is a felony verses something less minor like a misdemeanor. Then Bill and Stan were arrested. Now, we all know that an arrest by no means equals a conviction of a crime. The arrest appeared to be normal for most jurisdictions. Again the sheriff had probable cause to make the arrest. However, the booking process was a bit different from the actual process. “Booking is the process in which suspects’ names, the charges for which they were arrested, and perhaps their fingerprints or photographs are entered on the police blotter.” (Bohm and Haley, p.285) In the…

    After the charges are filed with the court the suspect will be taken to see a judge for an initial appearance. “ If a defendant is charged only with a misdemeanor, then his or her first court appearance is considered the arraignment. The formal charges are read and the defendant enters a plea. But if charged with a felony, this hearing is simply the initial appearance before the court.” (Wright, 2013). If the judge believes that the evidence is insufficient the case can be dismissed, but if the judge believes that the evidence is sufficient the case will go…

    When confronted with criminal charges, the first thing that you need to do is seek assistance of an experienced attorney for sound legal advice and a fair trial. Finding a reliable attorney is no easy a task, especially if you have no understanding of the internal workings of the courthouse. Being embroiled in a legal battle can be a harrowing experience and the monumental task of finding a reliable attorney only adds to the ordeal. A bleak attitude can very well spell defeat for you. The traditional method of hiring an attorney has so far been relied solely on the referrals provided from friends and family. There is no golden rule that you can follow while hiring an attorney, other than the standard norms that has been set by no one in particular.…

    If you or anyone you know has been charged with a criminal charge then you are aware there will be a need for some sort of legal representation. The United States Constitution states that every individual is permitted to be represented by an attorney whether this is a public defender or a private attorney. There is an evaluation process that involves an extensive financial application to even be considered for having a public defender appointed to your case. If it is determined that you make over the predetermined amount set then the only choice left is to start your search for a private defense attorney. Some defendants qualify for a public defender but due to the statics they choose to hire a private attorney, more often than none defendants go into extreme debt but who can put a price on freedom?…

    The United States criminal justice system prides itself on being fair and just. Even if it is one of the best systems in existence, it is not flawless. Wrongful convictions continue to occur despite existing safeguards aimed at limiting wrongful convictions. According to the Global Registry of Claims of Innocence, approximately 15% of inmates claim to be innocent nationwide (2014). Based on exoneration rates, of the 15% claiming innocence between one and five percent of inmates are truly innocent (Global Registry of Claims of Innocence, 2014). Several factors prevent wrongfully convicted individuals from proving his or…

    A wide variation of causes have been referred to as factors that add to events of wrongful convictions. Generally speaking, however, most events of wrongful convictions involve more than one contributing factor. Organizations, such as the innocence project, that focus on helping those who have been wrongfully convicted were created to fuel the research behind understanding the causes of wrongful convictions and how to best avoid them from happening in the future. In 2012, to create a universal records of exonerations, the University of Michigan Law School and the Center of Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law generated a website, National Registry of Exonerations. This website provides a breakdown of the different factors that may contribute to wrongful…
