Issues Regarding the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment

This law protects the person from incriminating himself to a crime, from possible improper methods to be used by law enforcement either through deceit, coercion or threats (Snitker). By encouraging silence in the face of the need for legal defense, this law wisely leads the accused to seek legal assistance.

Protection to the Criminal Defendant

Self-preservation is a natural right of any person and he may abuse this right by unknowingly withholding cooperation in judicial processes against crime. Excessive protection can be treated with reasonable approaches by law enforcement so that the Fifth will not overly and inappropriately protect defendants.

Written in 1759, Voltaire’s Candide is an adventure novel that tracks the life of Candide, an innocent boy who is desperately in love with a girl. However, this love story is unusual in that Candide embarks on a number of journeys and faces tough situations, and all underneath a satiric writing style. Candide teases the archetypal coming-of-age novel and particularly literature’s representation of romantic love. As Nelly Severin points out: ‘Some critics have seen in Candide a parody of “romance” and Voltaire certainly used an array of “romance” commonplaces, such as shipwrecks, pirates, bastard births, abductions and ...

The growing demand for the competitive specialists justifies the particular attention and concern to the Malaysian students’ reading comprehension skills from the Malaysian authorities.

Upon receiving this assignment, the interest was clear. Carrie Fountain’s poem, Experience, touches so much of what is human about everyone in one area of life or another. Whether we have denied it or not, everyone has that remembrance that was great while it was happening, but was more an ending than a means to an end. Humankind makes mistakes of judgment frequently. Thankfully time, and what is intrinsically good in us can manage to overcome our battles with all things, which is something of an element in this poem that will be discussed soon enough. The central ...

Essay in English Law Whether it is Unfair for Criminal Justice Insiders to Sit On Jury

Most likely, it is unfair for someone who works in the criminal justice system to be chosen to participate as jury selection-members, in the British legal system. Prior to the time of the Global Recession of 2008, one report discussed several aspects of the UK-defined protocol of what a jury-system process entails. Commentary was made regarding the UK jury system historical roots, trial-jury size, secrecy, independence, and selection (“Jury Service – Crown Prosecution”). One set of erudite Australian Professors noted that the advent of social media had fundamentally caused problems, especially during trials (Wallace et al. 2011). Consider, however, the ...

William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience were written in the 18th century. Blake used parallel versions of his poems to construct an ideal form of human existence which he later compared against the contemporary society. His works, which were sometimes considered deeply spiritual, caused some of his critics to dismiss him as a Lunatic and his work as the rantings of a lunatic. Blake was also an artist and his images accompanied most of his poems. Blake used parallel poems to respond to the decay in the human values in the society (Vines 116). Many ...

“Men” by Maya Angelou

The poem “Men” is about Maya Angelou’s experience with men and the way she understands them. Men are the stronger sex and they can get what they want from women.

A life of a woman is not fair because she is deprived of making a choice in life and she can only decide to accept what men are offering or not. The poem “Men” deals with the desire the narrator feels towards men as she observes them through the window: “They knew I was there. / ...

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land. The three most controversial aspects of this system today are Search and Seizure, arrest, and interrogations. While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today. The presence of the law is not always the same as upholding it. The cases which made the case for the citizens are moving into obscurity with modern variations of the problems making ...

Innocence project

A false confession involves a narration of how and why a crime took place. It includes an admission to committing a crime, which the confessor did not commit. However, false confessions are difficult to establish, attributed to the fact that it is hard to prove the confessor’s innocence. False confessions can be categorized into different types. The first one includes voluntary false confession, whereby the confessor willingly gives a false confession, either due to little or no cohesion from the police. Another type of false confession is the compliant false confession. Here, a false confession is given to ...

A false confession is where a person is compelled to admit the commission of a crime which they never committed.

People admit to crimes they did not commit due to reasons such as incompetence due, say, to a mental disorder or being a minor, police coercion, contamination, and misclassification (Leo 332). Other factors responsible for false admission of guilt include duress, intoxication, mental impairment, diminished capacity, ignorance of the law, actual infliction of harm, fear of violence, misunderstanding of the situation and threat of harsh sentences (Innocence Project Online). According to Ryan, Police officers can avoid false confessions by videotaping their interrogation of suspects from the beginning to the end and setting reasonable time limits for their interview of ...

The book Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison provides a broad perspective over which a number of issues can be understood. The exposition of the story can be drawn from the point of view of the narrator who provides an in-depth analysis of major chronological events.

The nameless narrator tells his life story effectively making it easier to establish the appropriate cognitive progress of the individual. In general, the speaker transforms from a naïve African-American young man, growing up in a ...

This is thematically discussed in Toni Cade Bambara’s The Lesson and David Foster Wallace’s Commencement Speech, Kenyon College. Bambara’s story shows an adult leading a group of children in an out-of-town educational trip. Wallace’s speech, on the other hand details the transition of graduates into adult life and of how their college education plays a role in it. Whereas Bambara’s story deals more on the racial themes and differences of inequality, Wallace’s speech focuses on the larger ...

A rhetorical analysis of language is not a summary or an interpretation of what the author meant. Rather, it is a treatise on how the author presents his or her material (Ramage, Bean and Johnson 16). At issue are the rhetorical features of the text-the author's purpose, the intended audience, what kinds of claims he makes, and the way he uses evidence (Ramage, Bean and Johnson 16). That evidence is used to show how an author attempts to persuade whatever audience he has chosen. The rhetorical plan is to analyze the text in terms of with the grain reading, ...

Angela Carter prominently retells the fairy tale story of Little Red Riding Hood, with more vivid and gruesome details as to the horrors of monstrosity. In The Company of Wolves, she first describes in detail the attitudes and machinations of wolves, providing examples using the concept of a werewolf compared to the anthropomorphized wolf in the original tale. Through Carter’s retelling, she envisions a tale of love that more closely resembles what could have happened in reality. Through this, the dichotomy of humanity and monstrosity is blurred when both exhibit traits that are supposedly exclusive of the other. ...

Innocence

Introduction The Innocence Project is a nonprofit organization which operates with the sole goal of freeing the wrongfully convicted in the United States.

In the United States, one out of every seven convicts is innocent. Hence, with the advent of DNA technology in the early 1990s, the Innocence Project came into existence with Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld heading the initiative from the Benjamin ...

Summary and analysis of The Lamb by Blake Introduction “The Lamb” by William Blake originally published in Songs of Innocence in the year 1789. The Lamb is among the 19 poems in the Songs of Innocence, and is one of the most widely read poems in English language.

Whereas the need for and application of scientific evidence has become a ubiquitous practice in most criminal justice systems, not so much attention has been paid to the potential limitations and problems associated with this type of evidence. Aspects of forensic technology such as DNA analysis have been used in the identification of the guilty and exoneration of the innocent globally for decades now. However, as the Innocence Project (n.d) notes, whereas some of these forensic technology procedures such as bite mark and shoe print comparisons were developed through thorough scientific research, many of these techniques are yet to ...

In the book by Wendy Shalit, titled A Return To Modesty (1999), Shulit refers to romantic idealism and innocence as the modest form of sexual expression. Meaning, she believes in the one time love affair between one man and one woman. (Shalit, 1999) This has a religious tone and includes manners set for young women in the seventieth century and has nothing to do with twenty-first century reality. Although her ideas seem rather outdated, she does make some rather good points about how women who become more sexually promiscuous wear risker clothes and have many sexual partners which ...

(Class Information) Mike Tyson became a celebrity in his own right. He earned a big name in boxing, not to mention the wealth that he gained from the same sport. However, his fame waned when the front pages of the tabloids and newspapers feasted on his conviction story for allegedly raping one of the aspirants in the Miss Black America beauty contest.

While the use of scientific evidence in solving crimes has helped in the identification of criminals and the exoneration of the innocent, there are certainly a number of problems that are associated with the use of forensic technology such as DNA testing within the criminal justice system. According to Edmond (2014), the use of forensic medical and scientific evidence within the criminal justice system has in a number of occasions led to wrongful convictions and hence a miscarriage of justice due to the fact that most of them are not reliable. The aspect of the reading from the Innocent ...

Abstract

A plea bargain has defined the court proceedings in the recent history of the criminal justice system. As such, prosecutors and judges have adapted to the policy to carry on activities while practicing copping plea arrangements so as to reduce the number of pending cases and the pile that characterizes most of the district magistrates’ courts. On one side, the idea of a plea bargain has greatly enhanced the efficiency of the legal systems. This is because it has reduced the time for prosecutors to work on various trials as well as reducing the instances of overcrowding in jails ( ...

The master craftsman, William Shakespeare, in his Othello and The Winter’s Tale portrays some curious facets of femininity, maybe deliberately or not. Desdemona in Othello is a Venetian beauty with astute and resolute individuality, while Hermione in The Winter’s Tale is mysterious and majestic. When we take the reality aspect, the former is more realistic and true to life, which has implications even in this modern present. The latter is to an extent unreal, and somewhat fantasy. Character is everything in Shakespeare’s plays; the works have no existence apart from the characters. In Shakespeare’s plays, ...

Othello, the 1603 masterpiece of the master playwright William Shakespeare is more psychological than artistic, derived from Donald Metzer’s “Concerning the Stupidity of Evil”. Dr. Johnson says that his [Shakespeare’s] drama is the mirror of life; that he who has mazed his imagination, in following the phantoms which other writers raise up before him, may here be cured of his delirious ecstasies, by reading human sentiments in human language, by scenes from which a hermit may estimate the transactions of the world, and a confessor predict the progress of the passions (Johnson. p. 14). Shakespeare portrayed life ...

The United States has one of the most complex and fascinating criminal justice systems in the world. The reason that the United States has such a unique criminal justice system, is that the founding fathers based their principles from superior legal frameworks around the world. For example, the founding fathers were known for looking to English, French, and other European Legal Frameworks, (The United States Constitution). Additionally, the founding fathers thought to their education of Roman Law and the laws of Ancient Greece, (The United States Constitution). For this reason, the United States has a unique array of principles ...

Racism and class struggles are common challenges that black face in the society. The history of the African-Americans in the United States has been built on the slave trade and the lack of rights for the black race trying to survive in a white dominated society. Although many civil rights groups in the past have fought for equality among the blacks and the whites, the blacks, such as the current President of the country, continue to fight against the racial discrimination in the society. Espada’s “Litany at the Tomb of Frederick Douglas” and Blake’s “The Little Black ...

The Innocence Project is an organization dedicated to exonerating people of crimes in which there is evidence the individual is not guilty of the crime he or she was convicted for. Stunningly, one-quarter of all wrongful convictions of which they have assisted in exoneration through DNA evidence, have resulted due to false confessions or an incriminating statement. False confessions refer to when a criminal suspect admits to committing a crime that he or she did not commit. So why would a person confess to a crime he did not commit? This happens for a variety of reasons, including diaries, ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Spanish horror-fantasy film The Devil’s Backbone is a unique ghost story for its time, given the film’s setting during the Spanish Civil War and the morally ambiguous nature of the ghosts found in the film. In telling the story of a small orphanage in rural Spain in the early 1930s, haunted by a small boy named Santi whose death provides one of the central mysteries, The Devil’s Backbone mixes the high fantasy of fairy tales with the gritty despair of one of Spain’s most tumultuous historical periods. As evidenced in the ...

While the Civil War may have legally ended slavery, remnants of slavery and racial animosity continued to exist, and perhaps still do, in many parts of the country. Even after the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments, which attempted to empower newly freed African American slaves and give them equal rights of citizenship, states managed to find ways to disenfranchise blacks from exercising their newly acquired rights of citizenship. Racial prejudice was especially pervasive in the South. The era of Jim Crow laws, which controlled nearly every aspect of Southern public life, maintained strict separation of whites and blacks (Welke, ...

Many works of nonfiction and fiction, including Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, have suggested that there is a link between the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages and Freemasonry as it exists today. While the majority of historians and researchers do not currently accept that this is the case, there are certain slight indications that might point in this direction. Certainly a number of Masons believe this might be the case.

Introduction

In the American legal system, the rights afforded to a defendant who has been accused of a crime are fundamental and of paramount constitutional concern. The Framers were cognizant of the potential for government abuse and ensured that a criminal defendant’s rights were protected. The Sixth Amendment provides that in criminal proceedings, “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury” (U.S. Const. amend. VI). Thus, the Sixth Amendment safeguards the criminal defendant’s right to a speedy trial and guarantees that defendant is entitled to a trial by a jury ...

Frankenstein is one of the most successful stories that Mary Shelley wrote, and it has remained to become a legend to her writing and literary works. While this story was published in 1816, the inception of its story line began way before this date, and its eventual writing was a manifestation of life espionages that Mary endured. In fact, this story was written as a lamentation to the life’s discourse that Mary had experienced, especially after people she so much loved faced the cruelty in the hands of gruesome death. Therefore, the life discourse that Mary had experienced ...
