  • Jerry Sandusky Sentencing Case Study

    2004 Words  | 9 Pages

    I do agree with the sentence imposed on Jerry Sandusky, just like I believe most people who followed this trial did. He will most likely end up not making it out of prison, the judge made this decision for many reasons. Sentencing is one of the most difficult jobs of the judge, seeing as the a judge cannot just give out any sentence he must abide by guidelines and stipulations (Bohm & Haley, 2014). During this trial Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to more than 30 years but not more than 60 (UPI Newstrack, 2012). This sentencing was efficient for a multitude of reasons, even though he could have been given more time, and it is explained by the judge that he could have done so.

  • The Jessica Gonzales Case

    398 Words  | 2 Pages

    The significance of the case is that unless the state specifically spells out what protections you are not afforded under a court ordered protection document, the petitioner having an expectation of protection is incorrect. Jessica Gonzales in fear for her and her children’s safety, having obtained a state protective order was not advised that the enforcement of protection was discretionary. The potential for no enforcement, had she known, would have given her the opportunity to make alternate arrangements, potentially removing or lessening her husband’s contact with the family. Gonzales filed her petition through all the legal channels required by the state of Colorado, therefore satisfying the legal parameters in filing for protection. What

    An organization already in crisis not only requires swift action to correct the situation, it also requires they inform the public of their knowledge as well as display the actions being put into place to remedy the problem and support for those directly affected immediately (Crandall et. al., 2014). This is one of the areas the officials at Penn State failed in their response to the scandal (Stern Strategy Group, 2012). The board of trustees did act swiftly in their termination of former university president Greg Spanier and former head coach of the football team Joe Paterno following the Grand Jury indictment of Jerry Sandusky in 2012. Consequently, the action was still delayed since they had been made aware of the pending indictment in early 2011.

  • Impeachment In The Constitutional Order By Jeffrey Tlais

    952 Words  | 4 Pages

    For example, the House Investigation functions similar to prosecution and the Senate resembles to a jury. However, these parallels signal that the impeachment process and criminal trials are only similar in certain aspects. He writes, “to say that the process of removal of a president is like a criminal proceeding is also to say that it is not a criminal proceeding” (Tulis, “Impeachment in the Constitutional Order”). Tulis argues that since the Constitution could have easily defined the impeachment process as criminal trials but it did not do so, it demonstrates that impeachment is not a legal question but rather a political one. To further support his argument, Tulis indicates that the president is not protected by the double jeopardy clause in a hypothetical situation where he commits a heinous act, such as murder.
