On May 24, 1992, Ramon Flores was working at a gas station that was getting robbed and was shot and killed. The man charged with his murder was Michael R. Pulido. He was charged with first degree murder along the felony murder law. That law states that killing during the act of a felony, in this case a robbery, is automatically first degree murder. The way I have interpreted the facts of this case, the defendant was the one who pulled the trigger and point toward him as the killer. To come to this decision, the jury had to conclude that the defendant had intent to commit a felony, killed during the act of a dangerous felony, and that the victims death was a foreseeable outcome of the felony.…
There was over 600 pieces of evidence. Pink fibers were found on the bodies which matched to a bath rug found in the suspects home closet. By looking at both samples the FBI were able to note there were the same fibers connecting the suspect to the victims.…
The action of the police officers were completely wrong, both legally and morally. The officers violated Antonio Richard Rochin’s 4th, 14th and 5th Amendment rights. The officers never obtained a warrant to enter and search Rochin’s residence; therefore, making any evidence discovered inadmissible in court. In addition they violated Rochin’s 4th Amendment rights, and no one should have their home broken into by those who’s jobs are supposed to protect us based on some hearsay evidence. It would be understandable if these officers had enough evidence to create probable cause to create enough reasonable suspicion to get a warrant before searching Rochin’s house. Instead the officers chose to take the law into their own hands by “jumping…
Jay and Leigh Carlos own and operate East Hampshire Homes, a small chain of homes for the mentally unstable (Borden, & Cooper, 2006). In this case, they are suddenly confronted by an inspector from OSHA who understands government regulations to require East Hampshire to put into practice a hepatitis vaccination program that does not appear to be required by law. Jay Carlos consults with state department bureaucrats, his attorney, and colleagues in the industry and must determine the best strategy to pursue. In doing so, he must consider the different agendas of each of the major players and the role of his business in society. Some of the critical issues were that OSHA came to visit the company that Jay had owned. That it was in regards to…
The Second Circuit Court handles many major cases. One of these major cases was Runner vs. the New York Stock Exchange. In this case, Victor J. Runner, the plaintiff, was suing the New York Stock Exchange for injuries he had sustained while doing work for them. The defendant issued “an appeal from a judgement imposing liability upon them pursuant to Section 240(1) of New York's Labor Law” (Lipmann, 2009). The defendant acknowledged what had happened to injure the plaintiff. While on the job, “the plaintiff and several co-workers had been directed to move a large reel of wire, weighing some 800 pounds, down a set of about four stairs. The workers were instructed to tie one end of a ten-foot length of rope to the reel and then to wrap the rope around a metal bar placed horizontally across a door jamb on…
Candidate Rivera flawlessly issued his five paragraph order to his fire team. SNC was sure to cover all key points and state the paragraph that he was briefing at the time. SNC displayed an understanding of the concept of operations through his tactical mindset, ensuring to account for team members, their assigned tasks, and equipment updates. During certain points of friction SNC was able to make sound decisions, however he did realize that after making certain judgment calls he could have or should have approached it differently. None of the decisions made were crippling to the accomplishment of the mission. Though SNC established a plan prior to execution, his plan only allowed for once course of action instead of establishing that contingency…

Candidate Estrada, M. received the obstacle brief and only asked two question in order to clarify what he had missed. SNC wasted little time completing his notes and assessed the obstacle for a few moments before he briefed his team. His brief consisted of all the parts of the 5 paragraph order; however, he displayed lack of confidence in his tone of voice and gave a confusing brief that bounced around the 5 paragraph order. His decision making was slow during the execution and this was displayed through lack of communication to his team. SNC did not listen to the coordinating instructions very well, as he added they could not touch an area of the obstacle that was authorized, which was part of a previous scenario. The minimal communication…
The Supreme Court case of Sessions v. Morales-Santana deals with the issue of whether or not a distinction based on gender in establishing derivative citizenship for immigrants violates the 5th amendment's guarantee of equal protection. The questions presented by this case are: (1) Whether Congress’s decision to require different physical presence requirements for unwed citizen mothers than unwed citizen fathers in order to pass citizenship to a foreign- born child violates the 5th amendment's guarantee of equal protection and (2) whether the court of appeals was mistaken in granting citizenship in the absence of any statutory authority.Thusly, the rights of immigrants and the right against gender discrimination are both at stake for the petitioner of this case. The case was granted on June 28, 2016, oral argument was held before the Supreme Court on November 9, 2016, and the case was decided on June 12, 2017.…
Perhaps one of the most seminal Supreme Court decisions was the case of United States v. Alfonso Lopez (1995). After nearly a half-century of decisions by the Court in favor of expanded federal power via the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause, the Justices issued a ruling limiting the reach of Congress, signaling a seismic shift on the Court’s interpretation of the Clause. The Court’s decision also sent a strong statement to Congress regarding the legislative body’s jurisdiction over a bevy of activities with a nexus to interstate commerce — from gun control to environmental protection to education.…
T.B. is a 65-year-old retiree who is admitted to your unit from the emergency department (ED). On arrival you note that he is trembling and nearly doubled over with severe abdominal pain. T.B. indicates that he has severe pain in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of his abdomen that radiates through to his mid-back as a deep, sharp boring pain. He is more comfortable walking or sitting bent forward rather than lying flat in bed. He admits to having had several similar bouts of abdominal pain in the last month, but “none as bad as this.” He feels nauseated but has not vomited, although he did vomit a week ago with a similar episode. T.B. experienced an acute onset of pain after eating fish and chips at a fast-food restaurant earlier today. He is not happy to be in the hospital and is grumpy that his…
Facts: In May 1936, the Director of Posts announced in the dailies of Manila that he would order the issuance of postage stamps commemorating the celebration in the City of Manila of the 33rd International Eucharistic Congress, organized by the Roman Catholic Church. The petitioner, Mons. Gregorio Aglipay, Supreme Head of the Philippine Independent Church, in the fulfillment of what he considers to be a civic duty, requested Vicente Sotto, Esq., member of the Philippine Bar, to denounce the matter to the President of the Philippines. In spite of the protest of the petitioner’s attorney, the Director of Posts publicly announced having sent to the United States the designs of the postage for printing. The said stamps were actually issued and sold though the greater part thereof remained unsold. The further sale of the stamps was sought to be prevented by the petitioner.…
