Morrissey Vs. Brewer: Case Study
Morrissey v. Brewer

Morrissey v. Brewer accrued in 1972 and was marked the beginning of the United States supreme court involvement with parole revocation procedures. The problem with this certain case was whether the due process clauses of the Fourth Amendment required that a state give a person the chance to be heard before canceling their parole. This happened when Morrissey was charged with false drawing of checks in 1967 in Iowa. After he pled guilty, he was sentenced seven years in prison. Seven months later he paroled from Iowa state penitentiary in June of 1968. Morrissey was then arrested in his hometown for violation of parole and was taken to the local jail. After reviewing the parole officers written report, Iowa board decided

    Supreme Court Case: Tate Vs. Colorado

    At the trial, Tate moved to suppress evidence obtained during the investigation. As he did this, he noticed that when Officer Benda parked behind Tate, it was an unlawful seizure according to the fourth amendment. The court concluded that he was seized with reason to believe Tate was under the influence. This caused the conclusions to be reversed and was therefore inadmissible at trail. This case was moved to the district court and this court concluded that a person could not be seized within the meaning of the fourth amendment if he is unaware of the police presence. The court also concluded that Officer Benda had reasonable suspicion to arrest Tate, thus reversing the conclusions and was therefore inadmissible at…

    Virginia vs Moore

    An en banc decision reinstated Moore’s conviction. This group of judges held that although his arrest violated Virginia’s arrest statutes, exclusion of evidence was not the remedy because the Fourth Amendment’s requirement for probable cause was satisfied. Moore appealed to Virginia’s Supreme Court after this. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the grounds of the arrest was unlawful and there was no right to search Moore. There were several other cases that were used and helped Moore. Two of them that the court used were Knowles v. Iowa and United States…

    Kansas Vs. Cheever: Supreme Court Case

    3d, at 1023, it reasoned that voluntary intoxi­cation is not a “mental disease or defect” as a matter of state law. Id., at 250, 284 P. 3d, at 1023–1024 (citing State v. Kleypas, 272 Kan. 894, 40 P. 3d 139 (2001)). The court therefore concluded that “Cheever did not waive his Fifth Amendment privilege and thus permit his court­ ordered examination by Dr. Welner to be used against him at trial.” 295 Kan., at 251, 284 P. 3d, at 1024. This reasoning misconstrues our precedents. Although Kansas law defines “mental disease or defect” narrowly, exclude voluntary intoxication, that phrase is actually not the salient one under our precedents. In Buchanan, we permitted rebuttal testimony where the defendant pre­sented evidence of “the mental status’ defense of extreme emotional disturbance.” 483 U. S., at 423. And “mental status” is a broader term than “mental disease or defect,” at least to the extent that Kansas law excludes voluntary intoxication from that definition. Mental-status defenses include those based on psychological expert evidence as to a defendant’s mens rea, mental capacity to commit the crime, or ability to premeditate. Defendants need not as­sert a “mental disease or defect” in order to assert a de­fense based on “mental status.” To the extent that the Kansas Supreme Court declined to apply Buchanan because Cheever’s intoxication was “temporary,” our precedents are again not so narrowly circumscribed. Like voluntary intoxication, extreme emo­tional disturbance is a “temporary” condition, at least according to the Kentucky state courts where Buchanan was tried. See McClellan v. Commonwealth, 715 S. W. 2d 464, 468–469 (Ky. 1986) (defining extreme emotional disturbance…

    virginia v morre

    Moore was charged with intent to sell crack cocaine. When Moore was first brought to trial, He filed a pretrial motion to attempt to suppress the evidence. He thought that he should not have had his vehicle searched without a warrant. From the original search and arrest he felt like his rights as a citizen had been violated. In Virginia they do not require suppression of evidence, which was obtained through the fourth amendment. When the trial court had it they discussed the option of suppressing the evidence, which would be being used against him in his trial, but denied the motion. The bench trial soon found him guilty of drug charges. Moore was sentenced to a Five-year prison term and one year and six months suspended sentence. The case went to a panel of Virginia’s intermediate court on the grounds of…

    Constitutional Policing

    The Fourth Amendment is clearly broken in the case of Weeks v. United States, it was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court unanimously held that the warrantless seizure of items from a private residence constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment. It also prevented local officers from securing evidence by means prohibited under the federal exclusionary rule and giving it to their federal colleagues. It was not until the case of Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), that the exclusionary rule was deemed to apply to state courts as well. On December 21, 1911, Fremont Weeks, the plaintiff in error and defendant, was arrested by a police officer at the Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri where he was employed by an express company. Other officers entered the house of the defendant without a search warrant and took possession of papers and articles which were afterwards turned over to the US marshal. The officers returned later in the same day with the marshal, still without a warrant, and seized letters and envelopes they found in the drawer of a chiffonier. These papers were used to convict Weeks of transporting lottery tickets through the mail. Weeks petitioned against the police for the return of his private possessions.…

    After he had turned 18, he was sentenced to death. His direct appeal and subsequent petitions for state and federal post-conviction relief were rejected. Simmons filed a new petition for state post- conviction relief, arguing that Atkins reasoning established that the Constitution prohibits the execution of a juvenile who was under 18 when he committed his crime. The Missouri Supreme Court agreed and set aside Simmons' death sentence in favor of life imprisonment without eligibility for release.…
