Officer Jurgens: A Short Story

Your affiant transported CONTI to the police station where a series of psychophysical divided attention tests were performed; some of which he was unable to successfully complete. The tests were performed inside the Shenandoah Police station on a flat, dry surface due to the weather conditions and snow covered roadways. I explained my findings to CONTI and requested him to submit to a chemical test of blood. CONTI related he recently ingested marijuana and indicated it would appear on the blood test. CONTI agreed to submit to the blood test and was transported to the Schuylkill Medical Center South Hospital where the blood sample was drawn from his right arm at approximately 1519 hours.

No weapon was ever recovered or entered as evidence. Once again Saint John Police contaminated the crime scene. Police went in and out of the doors without gloves for over a week before realizing they should have tested for

Christopher Browning’s book, Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 explains the story of the most infamous mass killing in modern history and the ordinary men who participated in this genocide. In this book Browning provides insight into who these ordinary men really are and their horrendous acts. The Police Battalion 101 became a mass-execution squad in Poland in 1942-43. Surprisingly every single one of these men were able to make the decision to avoid partaking in the killings with no repercussions, some left, while some stated that they were given no such choice and that they didn’t hear that part. When given the orders to take out these innocent Jews, some of the men pleaded that the reason they were hesitant to kill was the fact that they were simply just too weak.

The respondent then sought collateral relief in the state court on numerous grounds, specifically among them was his assertion that counsel had rendered ineffective assistance at the sentencing proceeding. The respondent challenged his counsel’s assistance in six respects. He claimed that counsel was ineffective because he failed to move for a continuance to prepare for sentencing, failed to request a psychiatric report, failed to investigate and present character witnesses, failed to seek a pre-sentence investigation report, failed to present meaningful arguments to the sentencing judge, and failed to investigate the medical examiner’s reports or cross-examine the medical experts. The respondent then filed a habeas corpus petition in Federal District Court seeking relief on numerous grounds, including the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The District Court denied relief and found that the counsel made judgment errors in failing to further investigate mitigating evidence, but the respondent 's sentence did not result from any prejudice from any of the counsel’s judgment errors.

The trial judge admits the sentence was imposed; however, the report received included seven felonies and three misdemeanors.

Facts are the panel believes the defendant is entitled to a resentencing. The defendant expunged records was viewed at the time of presentence and his sentence was determined because of his previous criminal history.

With ballistics, they observed the ammunition and could project where the victims where, when they were shot and where the criminal was placed. They can also check the ammunition and weapons and trace them to their exact location of the sale and who sold it. Well the only testimonial evidence was all the interviews that happened after the crime, which helped the sheriff’s office put together what had happened. They could not be used to convict the criminals because they committed suicide before they were arrested. The only evidence that was used to convict someone was the ballistics report which helped the police see who sold the guns to Dylan and

day to day operations that you do, but you certainly want your best person there, to me that means the most senior officer who was Lieutenant Commander Burmaster, there to be walking beside with the General to answer other questions that a First Class Petty Officer may not know. So, it’s just more of a strategic approach of how we look at customs and Burmaster would have more of that kind of information, then certainly a First Class Petty Officer would. Robert: So, in your mind, with the Generals visit, you would say and don’t allow me to put words in your mouth, but you would expect, if he is visiting a particular company, that the Commander of that company should be there? Captain Rink: Absolutely.

Please, judge, put him where he belongs.” Holmes County Assistant Prosecutor Steve Knowling said he agreed with her request. “I can 't imagine a better case that calls for imprisonment,”

Diversion programs have become a prevalent form of justice in the Criminal Justice System. Diversion can be two things; diversion from jail or diversion from the legal system completely. Diversionary programs have been developed in the Criminal Justice System throughout its many levels for a multitude of reasons. Often, they are spurred on by practical concerns including, but not limited to, over-crowded prisons, the high cost of the criminal process, and as an alternative approach to dealing with those suffering from mental illnesses. Diversion may occur both before and after a trial and are aimed at avoiding the trial process (pre-trial) and incarceration (post-trial).

Police Body cameras have played a huge role in providing evidence in criminal cases.
