Case Study: Sizemore Vs. Erickson

415 Words2 Pages

. In this case, there is no valid contract between Sizemore and Erickson for which they hadn’t no agreement. As I know, the essential of a valid contract are: Agreement- offer and acceptance, consideration, contractual capacity, legal object. Therefore, according to the principle of unjust enrichment that no person should be allowed to profit at another 's expense without making restitution for the reasonable value of any property, services, or other benefits that have been unfairly received and retained. Thus, Sizemore can recover for the work he has done. 2. On my opinion, the court should not grant the defendant’s requests for judgment on the pleading, and the exculpatory clause may not be enforceable against lily Ledbetter. An exculpatory

    Even though the circumstantial evidence implicated Brad, the forensic evidence presented was sufficient to implicate Knox. The testimony made by Mrs. Knox was admissible as the spousal privilege was broken. However, the defense representing Knox could argue based on the Fourth Circuit to dismiss the testimony against him. The Fourth Circuit holds that Mrs. Knox’s statement should be inadmissible and as such, violates the confrontation clause. The use of this testimony to implicate Knox violates the aspect of spousal privileges.

    In regards to the Brent Small case, I personally believe that Mr. Smalls shouldn't be found guilty due to the lack of evidence. Although there was a witness who saw what happened, the evidence isn’t consistent with the case. The vehicle did match the description but the witness was unsure of the license plate and the damage to the vehicle isn’t significant to the crime committed. I don't believe that the evidence is strong enough to convict Mr. Smalls.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you are here because one person in this courtroom decided to take law into her own hands. The defendant, Mrs. Dominique Stephens, murdered the man that she vowed to love. This sole act by the defendant is violation of all morals and her husband’s right to live. Afterwards, she even felt guilty about this violation of justice and called the cops on herself, and she later signed a written statement stating that she is guilty of the murder of Mr. Donovan Stephens.
