1047 Words5 Pages

11. Aside from the legal considerations discussed above, what other problems do you see with the way this interview was conducted?

An interview is intended to be informal and held in a non-hostile manner. Having the interview take place in the office of the interviewee is a positive way of setting this tone. However, the type of questioning that ensues must be in-line with this tone and at no point should the interviewee be tipped off that they might be considered a suspect. The line of questioning appears to not have been neutral and a bias of guilt may have existed from the interviewers. There is concern for the intent of the interview as it appears as though a couple of the interviewers went in with the purpose of obtaining a confession, …show more content…

Do you think the excuse clause in this signed statement is appropriate? Why or why not?

An excuse clause doesn’t diminish legal responsibility but does help the confessor feel as though compassion and sympathy are being expressed. The provided excuse clause is valid as it provides the intent for the crime. However, the excuse clause needs to be indicative of the rationalization provided by the confessor and not embellished.

16. List nine key pieces of information that must be included in the signed statement.

Included in the signed statement should be the intent/motive for the fraudulent activity, the approximate time period (beginning and end dates), the approximate amount of funds involved, the number of times instances, other individuals involved, the excuse clause, acknowledgement of the truthfulness of written statement, acknowledgment of confessor having read the statement. With the provided information of this case, the following information should be listed in the signed statement:

Intent: Financial pressure and need to pay off substantial gambling debt
Approximate activity commence: beginning on xxx
Approximate activity termination: ending on xxx
Approximate Amount of Funds Involved: ($9,999 x 15mo. = $150,000

  • The Case Of Brendan Dassey

    972 Words  | 4 Pages

    The clip watched showed Brendan Dassey being interviewed by the police as a suspected accomplice to his uncle Steven Avery’s crime of the rape and murder of Teresa Halbach. This clip shows the police interrogating the teenager Brendan Dassey without any parent or lawyer present. This tape and his ensuing confession were the ultimate cause of his imprisonment where he was convicted of being an accomplice to murder and disposal of a body. Brendan Dassey’s conviction was ultimately overturned as the confession, which was the prosecutions’ leading evidence, was thrown out after it proved to be coerced. While the confession was coerced it is important to acknowledge that the officers were not entirely improper with how they conducted the interview.

    prosecution, which led them to believe that there were many issues within the system that led to the wrongful conviction that needed to be fixed so another minority was not charged with a murder that was not committed by them. The Inquiry found that the investigation was not done suitably for the standards that the police, and the Crown have. The case’s evidence was insufficient due to lack of investigation at the crime scene, of the witnesses, and of the charges pursued. There was also an insufficient amount of sensitivity of this case due to the fact that it was the prosecution of a visible minority and the lack of training done on the respect to sensitivity on visible minorities. As well as the absence of sufficient review led to the wrongful conviction because they didn’t review the first eyewitness reports and relied only on the second report, which were influenced by an incompetent and unprofessional

The Valilas case therefore emphasizes again the significant risks associated with terminating contracts on the basis of a repudiatory breach of contract. (para58) Ratio Decidendi: It should be well understood at this point what renunciation and repudiation means.

  • Tragic Hero In Plato's Apology

    1376 Words  | 6 Pages

    The term “apology comes from the Greek word apologia which means to defend. In this essay I would like to explain why I believe that The Apology by Plato should be classified as pity and fear, in regards to Greek tragedy. I believe that this is true because I can personally empathize with Socrates; this will be discussed later on in this essay. A tragic hero is considered to be an individual with an intellectual flaw or error, Socrates fits this description; Socrates failed to understand that he could not empathize with the jurors because they simply wanted him to acknowledge his prior offenses, while he only sought out telling the truth and not sullying his own moral code. Socrates should be considered a tragic hero because he had an intellectual error, not an ethical one.
