    I believe that officer Smith did have every reason to pull over the car in question because there was not only the appearance of a broken tail light that had been taped up but also the car resembled a vehicle that had been used in the commission of another crime, that being the road side killing of another officer. Officer Smith’s observation that the vehicle may be the one in question from the killing of the other officer, she has every right to ask the occupant of the car to get out for a pat down for not only her safety but the safety of any others. Even though the woman didn’t have any weapons on her the officer didn’t know and that’s why she requested the pat down. Had the woman been carrying any weapons when the officer approached the car the officers life would have been in immediate danger so the officer error on the side of caution and did the right thing with the pat down.…

    Lydia's Criminal Liability Case Study

    Therefore, it is the job of the prosecution to then establish whether she also has the mens rea for her Victims’ murder. The mens rea for murder is the intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm. There are two types of intention: direct intention and oblique intention. Direct intention as defined by James LJ in Mohan6 is the “decision” to bring about a “particular consequence” no matter whether the Defendant “desired that consequence or not”. In the words of R.A. Duff7 direct intent can be construed from the Defendant’s actions if the Defendant would consider himself a “failure” if the “relevant consequence” did not occur. Lydia stated that she had no “malice” whatsoever to Danielle or Gemma and only intended to scare Jasmine. By applying Mohan8 it is clear that Lydia did not make the decision to throw the law reports in order to kill Danielle and would not consider herself to have failed if her actions did not cause the death of Danielle. Therefore, Lydia did not display direct intent to kill Danielle and whether or not Lydia displayed oblique intent must be explored. The cases of R v Maloney9 and Hancock and Shankland10 provided some confusion on what degree of foresight was required for a jury to infer intention from a Defendant’s actions. In Nedrick11 it was established that the jury should ask how “probable” the consequences from the Defendant’s voluntary act were and if…

    Cja 364 Probable Cause Research Paper

    We have already gone over the exclusionary rules associated with unwarranted searches and seizures, now we need to look at warranted searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment requires that no warrants be issued unless based on probable cause by a sworn Affirmation, this applies to all warrants whether they are for search or seizure. In order to understand the concept behind warrants, we must also understand probable cause. The Supreme Court has defined probable cause as more than mere suspicion. The facts an officer is acting upon must be enough to convince the average person that the suspect committed or is committing the offense being investigated. (Worrall, 2012) In the academy they stressed this as less than beyond a reasonable doubt, but more than a hunch; which leaves a large area in between.…

    Essay On Statutory Offenses

    Criminal Intent is inferred from an accused's behavior. Like a person would have intended the natural and probable consequences of their acts (Mallor et al., 2015). The requirement for the intent is the criminal law's general goal of punishing aware criminals. The proof that the defendant would need to form an intent is a "traditional prerequisite of criminal responsibility" (Mallor et al., 2015). An example of criminal intent would be that Katie and Tally were at the Michael Kors store…

    The Elements of Crime

    There are two key elements that are common to all charges of kidnapping. One is the removal or detention must be unlawful. The second one is that there has to be some aggravating circumstance must accompany the restraint or asportation (Lippman, 2010). The mens rea of kidnapping is thought to be intent to move or to confine the victim without his or her consent. The essence of kidnapping is the actus reus of the forcible movement of a person from one place to another. The central issue is the extent of the movement required. The traditional rule in American law is that any movement, no matter how limited, is sufficient. Kidnapping is a crime against a person because it is the unlawful and nonconsensual abduction of an individual.…

    CJA 484 Criminal Law Foundations Evaluation

    With a great deal of debate the design of the United States along with the lay out by the founders of the country who took their roll in laying down the “rules” of the United States of America very seriously. The Articles of Confederation, the Bill of Rights, and the US Constitution lay the floor work of a layer of protection afforded to all United States Citizens. Each of the doctrines provides a step towards the written words that have granted many men and women protection from persecution as well as freedoms not received in other parts of the world. The last piece of the three historical documents, the US Constitution is comprised of a set of amendments, which have been written to protect several different rights that as a citizen are protected from false persecution. These constitutional amendments play a large roll, in the manner in which aspects of court procedure handled in both juvenile and adult court systems.…
