It was seen for the decades that the city of New London, Connecticut was suffering a great deal because of the economic deadline and by the 1998 the rate of unemployment was doubled and thus the population of the state declined to just mere 24,000.
In order to tackle this government and local officials created the New London Development Corp. (NDLC) which was aimed to revive the significant economic strategies. The Pfizer drug company was hired to build a research facility which was aimed to revive the job stimulus and bring much more needed employment to that area.
NDLC made a master plan of making hotels, museum, office spaces shops, river walks and new residential housing. but for this to be effective the existing 78 houses in which Susan kelo was one of them had to be demolished.

    In the wake of these actions, the city authorized the purchase of property within the development area and to utilize the acquisition of land through eminent domain if need be. Supported by the 14th amendment, the 5th Amendment allows local government the powers to utilize eminent domain to take private property for public use while appropriately compensating the former owners (Supreme Court 2004). During these acquisitions nine party members did not wish to sell their properties and challenged the taking of their land; stating that the transfer of land from one private owner to another to further economic development was a violation of the 5th amendment.…

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

    In the case Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222 (1971) Harris was accused of offering in heroin to a covert officer on two events. In any case, Harris took the stand in his own safeguard yet denied the offense, and he asserted he sold the officer two sacks of baking powder. On round of questioning the arraignment utilized repudiating proclamations made by Petitioner to police not long after his arrest. The contradicting statements were made before Petitioner got his Miranda warning. Okay, I understand about the Miranda cautioning not given before Harris affirmation, but rather shouldn't something be said about the proof? Is it accurate to say that it was tested to be heroin or baking…

    In the case District of Columbia ( DC ) vs Heller an officer for DC got declined for the permit to have a gun in his home for the year. After this he decided that this was unfair and took it to court. He pointed out that he was a police officer and he carries a firearm with him at all times for the protection of others and himself, but the court denied him the right to have a firearm for the protection of him and his family. The constitutional issue with this case is the fact that it’s how DC wanted gun owners to break down their guns, have a trigger lock on it, and keep the ammo away from the firearm even though the gun is broken down without the trigger lock.…

    The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution states: Set out rules for indictment by grand jury and eminent domain, protects the right to due process, and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy. This means that the officer does not determine innocence or guilt. She or he only determines probable cause of belief of guilt. Also, an officer cannot force a person to bear witness against himself. If a person is tried and a verdict is given, that person cannot be tried again. Accused persons cannot be forced to say anything. Eminent domain is the power of a government to take private property for public use, usually with compensation paid to the owner.…

    Eminent Domain

    • 799 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Eminent Domain is the inherent power of the state to take over a citizen's property for public use without the owner's consent. This is commonly done when the acquisition of property is needed for the completion of a project. These projects can be for transportation such as highways or bridges or even for buildings such as schools or government buildings. This excerpt states that ''The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says 'nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.' This is a tacit recognition of a preexisting power to take private property for public use, rather than a grant of new power.''160 Eminent domain ''appertains to every independent government. It requires no constitutional recognition; it is an attribute of sovereignty.''(NATIONAL EMINENT DOMAIN POWER) 160 This states that eminent domain is above the Fifth Amendment by the government. Some states first offer compensation for the property before the use of eminent domain but even though compensation is usually a part of this process, the amount paid to these people is far less than what the property is really worth but they must take it since the power of eminent domain will usually force then to give the property up no matter what.…

    Facts: Kyle John Kelbel was convicted of first-degree murder, past pattern of child abuse, in violation of Minnesota state statute section 609.185(5) and second-degree murder, in violation of Minnesota statute 609.19, subdivision 2(1). He was sentenced to life in prison for the death of Kailyn Marie Montgomery. Kelbel appealed, and argued that the district court failed to instruct the jury that it must find that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the acts that constituted the past pattern of child abuse and he also argued that the evidence against him was insufficient to prove past pattern of child abuse against Kailyn. Kelbel testified that the head injury of Kailyn was inflicted by a cup thrown at her head by step brother Evan. Kelbel also testified that other injuries found on Kailyn were caused by Evan and that he is "rough" with her. Medical examiners ran an autopsy on Kailyn's body and determined that the injuries had been caused by blunt trauma and force caused by a knee or fist. Medical examiners testified that the injuries caused could not have been caused by a cup thrown at her head or by an accidental fall down the stairs. Kailyn's mother, Lindsey, also testified that Kailyn had previous injuries that she became concerned with. Upon retrieving a search warrant, police entered Lindsey's home to find further evidence. Police found a dent in the wall near Kailyn's bed. After Kelbel was eventually found guilty of the charges brought, Kelbel filed a motion for a judgement of aquittal and for a new trial on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. The district court denied the motion.…
