Explain Why I Want To Be Tried In Saudi Arabia
I would most like to be tried in England because it is closest to the United States when it comes to criminal procedure. Like the U.S., England uses the adversarial and popular systems where in the adversarial system the accused is not obligated to cooperate with the government in a case and the popular system uses regular citizens of one or more that help the professional judge come to a decision. In both systems, the advantages are with the accused. England also has legal advice that is provided for all held suspects, the right to remain silent (although it can be held against you), bail is allowable, etc.
I would not want to be tried in Saudi Arabia. My reason is that because I am a foreigner, I am not familiar enough with the Shari’a law.

    Proposal & Annotated Bibliography Assignment: Capital Punishment

    Valbhav Goel, explores the issue of capital punishment through the lens of human rights law and a sociological context. Goel goes on to examine the very nature of capital punishment and explores the barbaric and unethical component attached to the practice. He does so while incorporating the debate of proponents and critics of the death penalty and also looks at trends developing in the past decade in terms of utilization of the death penalty. Goel also explores famous uses of the death penalty such as the Sadaam Hussein execution and whether certain individuals merit the use of capital punishment. This paper can help me establish trends taking place on a global scale with regards to capital punishment while also exploring the legal analysis of the issue of capital punishment and whether it contravenes human rights law as well as international law.…

    ISIS Synthesis Essay

    No doubt there are restrictions placed on people due to the countries being strictly Islamic, such as no eating or drinking in public places during Ramadan, in daytime or smoking or drinking alcohol, but generally petty crime rate is very low perhaps because the culprits are harshly punished under Sharia law. Many countries still conduct beheadings even of women, (such as in Saudi Arabia) for crimes deemed serious enough to warrant such drastic repercussion. Such punishments are based on religious doctrine. In 2015, in a video released online, a Saudi women was beheaded by the local police, on the charges of murdering her step-daughter. Even as the executioner attacked her with swords, at a public square, she kept crying out claiming innocence, till a final blow silenced her. On the other hand, ISIS conducts public beheadings in Raqqa and Mosul, with great fanfare and posts their videos on…

    Furman V. Georgia

    Georgia is the most sensible. The reason being is that the Justice’s arguments are clear and not overly fraught with personal/emotional opinion. Their position on the issue was to determine the facts of the constitution and the crimes being committed, as well as which would be deemed fit for capital punishment. While the EU and the Steikers made some valid arguments as well there was just a little too much conjecture for me and the EU had an overabundance of emotion throughout. That being said, no justice system is without flaws. However, anytime you are dealing with a controversial topic, personal opinion and emotions do nothing to help the situation, but instead only serve to aggravate it. The state of our country currently is a perfect example of why emotions and government/politics don’t…

    Effectiveness of the Criminal Trial Process as a Means of Achieving Justice

    The criminal trial process aims to provide justice for all those involved, while it succeeds in the majority of cases, it effectiveness is influenced and reduced by certain factors. These include the legal representation involved in a case and the availability of legal aid, the capacity of the jury assessing the trial, the credibility of scientific evidence and the impact of social media on the trial process. Due to such flaws the criminal trial process is not always an effective means of achieving justice.…

    Court History and Purpose

    In the United States, our court system is operated by a dual court system. The two types that make up the dual court system are federal and state. The dual court system is advantageous and desirable because it parallels federalism, a system of government where power is constitutionally divided between a central governing body and various constituent units (Siegel, Schmalleger, & Worrall, p. 5, 2011). The federal courts deal with cases of a broader degree, while the states courts deal with cases involving crimes within their own state borders. Even though England was the original founders, our nation was in desperate need of changes within the criminal justice…

    Is ‘Plea-Bargaining’ the Way Forward in the Criminal Justice System of England and Wales?

    Plea bargaining is not a new concept to the law and has been present in legal systems across the world for several centuries, however, there has not been any substantial research upon this topic until recently. This research has suggested that some form of plea-bargaining was present as early as the 1880s, albeit in the USA. Similarly, here in England & Wales ‘plea-bargaining’ has seen incredible growth over the last hundred years, leading to the decline in employing a jury to settle a trial. Instead, as seen in America, ‘plea-bargaining’ has grown and is now the leading method of trial…

    Right to Counsel

    Most people are aware that the United States criminal justice system is rooted in English common law. In 1695, the English courts first permitted an individual to be represented by private counsel in a treason trial (Zalman, 2008). During the period of 1695 through 1836, counsel in English courts was permitted on a case-by-case basis at the pleasure of the court (Pettys, 2011). In 1836, the English Parliament granted individuals charged with felonies the right to obtain legal counsel at their own expense (Pettys, 2011).…

    Death Penalties in the UK

    Death Penalties in the UK

    I would like to keep the law with no death penalties in the UK. This is because even though the do horrible crimes to get a death penalty, they are still human and there are a lot of things that could go wrong. You could be taking an innocent person who done nothing wrong and giving the death penalty and realizing your mistake after they’re dead. Even if they are guilty there could be so much pain when they are getting injected or shot or any other ways to kill them. Just because they’re murderers, they are still human. Also, what if they did get their death penalty but they didn’t die until an hour after or several minutes, just imagine how much pain that person would be, how their family would feel, how you would feel if you were in that same position. A woman from the UK was sent to America to get a death penalty for something she might not have done and we’re only depending on the evidence of two people. On May 4th 1990 in Florida a man named Jesse Joseph Tafero was executed on the electrocution chair. During the execution, six-inch flames erupted from Tafero's head, and three jolts of power were required to stop his breathing. State officials claimed that the botched execution was caused by "inadvertent human error" the inappropriate substitution of a synthetic sponge for a natural sponge that had been used in previous executions. They attempted to support this theory by sticking a part of a synthetic sponge into a "common household toaster" and observing that it smoldered and caught fire. Just ask yourself the question: would you liked to be treated this way? This also has a bad picture on Britain. Keep the old saying into your head: treat other people the way YOU would…
