On Monday, June 20, I was not given any direct assignments as Liz was out for the day and Kathleen had finance meetings all day. That being said, I took the initiative to read over the case information of the pre-trial meetings and trials scheduled for Tuesday. This week’s pre-trial charges include: retail theft, operating without insurance, operating without a license, operating while suspended, improper turn, and failure to yield while emerging from an alley. After reading over the police reports and case information, I decided to make use of CCAP to see if the defendants had any more encounters with the law in other counties in Wisconsin. While some defendants did not have any record outside of Manitowoc, others had no record in Manitowoc, but an extensive record in other counties. This made me realize why it is so important that Liz makes use of CCAP before meeting with the defendants, because if she only sees their records in Manitowoc, she might give them a better offer for having a “clean record.” Overall, looking through the reports and histories of the defendants gives me an idea of how the defendants might behave and what kind of offers Liz might give them in the pre-trial meetings. As for the trials scheduled for Tuesday, both defendants have been charged of possession of THC. After looking through the case information, I actually recognized the cases as they had been two of the cases that were canceled earlier in the summer due to some conflict with the
After the Supreme Court review the Wong Sun v United States case, the Supreme Court found that “Wong Sun statement could not be used to corroborate the second defendant’s police statement and the second defendant’s statement could not corroborate Wong Sun’s statement because neither statement was made during the existence of drug conspiracy” (Ingram p.89). Therefore, the Court conclude that the defendants of Wong Sun v United States case deserved a “new trial because there remained no admissible evidence against them” (Ingram

State, 152 P.3d 1237, 1243 (Idaho Ct.

v. Oakes’ case, the presence of the narcotic drug on the accused illustrates a legal challenge of creating a balance on whether the accused intended to traffic the drug or not (Judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada, 2017). Therefore, due to the proof that the accused possessed the drugs, an assumption emanates of the accused intention of engaging in trafficking such that he may be found guilty. However, the case may favor him if he opposes the assumption using various probabilities (Judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada, 2017). The same situation applies to Clarke’s case, by which the basis for his arrest was that he was found at the playground and was in possession of a camera and hence guilty. However, if he opposes the assumption by presenting various probabilities on why he was at the playground and why he was in possession of the camera, then the case might favor

On Tuesday, September 20th I sat down in the Brookings City and County Court to observe just over two hours of court operations. The first case was a felony that took place on the 10th of August, 2015. The defendant was escorted to the center table and took a seat next to his attorney. The judge then stated the defendant’s crime, which was an offence of forgery. The defendant was read his rights, such as the right to an attorney, speedy trial, to remain silent, and so forth. The judge then described the case as where and when it took place. The defendant cashed a payroll check of $661.17 at Brookings Hy-Vee. The offender purchased a lottery ticket and some dog food, the rest was given in cash. All of this was caught on tape, and Hy-Vee notified

However, as a public body, the Office has been held subject to scrutiny and critique in the media. The Law Society of South Australia has recently called for the creation of an external body to review prosecutorial decisions (McGregor-and-Fewster-2015). It has been noted that prosecutors poor decision-making and erroneous attitude, regarding cases where there is no reasonable prospect of securing a conviction, results in unnecessary delays in the court system and the substantial, irrecoverable loss of public funds (Yang-2013).
