    Lydia's Criminal Liability Case Study

    As a result of Lydia’s actions, Danielle and Gemma have died. Therefore, the extent of Lydia’s criminal liability for their deaths must be explored. Lydia’s culpability for their Murders must be explored before lesser offences of manslaughter can be considered. The majority of law pertaining to Murder is found in the Common Law, rather than being defined in statutes like a great deal of criminal offences. Murder, as defined by Lord Coke, is when a man of “sound memory” at the age of “discretion”, “unlawfully” kills any “reasonable creature” in any “county of the realm”. Prerequisites for murder include that the act take place “under the queen’s peace” with “malice aforethought”.1 This means that the Defendant must not be legally insane, should…

    essay for NFO in law

    First of all there is a battery with the initial contact that Jameela has on Ken. The AR of battery is “infliction of unlawful violence”. Battery is defined as being the slightest touch without permission as in the case of Cole v Turner, the knocking in to Ken is this touch without his permission. When she knocked into Ken this led to him to fall. This is an ABH as this battery led to further damage with Ken falling down. The AR of ABH is “common assault occasioning in actual bodily harm”. Miller defines this as “any hurt or injury calculated to interfere with the health or comfort of the v”, in which the falling down would cause Ken to experience some discomfort with falling to the ground. However this fall resulted in Ken breaking his hip. This is a GBH S20 as this break would have caused him to go to hospital. The AR of GBH S20 is “causing wound or GBH”. There isn’t a wound and therefore there is only grievous bodily harm. The case of Smith defines grievous as meaning really serious harm which includes broken bones. The case of Bollom states that the seriousness of the harm scales with the age of the victim, as Ken in this scenario is elderly man the seriousness of the fall was serious as his body is weaker and therefore there is more damage that is done, affecting the graveness of the injury. Therefore the AR of GBH S20 has been established.…

    Criminal Defense Case Analysis Paper

    This is a variance from the general rule that places the burden of production and persuasion on the government. For affirmative defenses, defendants bear the burden of production, that is, they must assert the defense at the time required by law. Failure to raise an affirmative defense in a timely manner acts as a waiver of the defense. States vary about the burden of persuasion placed on the defendant. Some require the defendant to prove the defense; others shift the burden to the prosecution to disprove the defense (Schmalleger, Hall, Dolatowski,…

    Negligence Case Analysis

    Legal: The four elements that demonstrate negligence that can lead to a medical malpractice lawsuit includes the following four according to our course note book and our instructor Kristin J. Kjensurd. 1st Clinician owed a legal duty of care to patient, 2nd clinician violated the duty of care, 3rd Duty of care violation caused injury to patient and 4th Patient suffered harm requiring compensation. In the article I read, all four elements that demonstrated negligence were violated by the clinician Cammy Elaine Nye. The 1st element Nye violated was her responsibility as a CNA to provide a professional level of care. As someone who is perusing a carrier in the healthcare field I feel that it’s our responsibility to provide a level of care that we are entrusted with, which I feel Nye failed to do. She put herself before the patient by not mentioning the incident that lead to Mrs.…

    Criminal Defense

    Self-defense is the justification of the threat or use of force when an individual feels that they are in immediate or imminent danger to their life or bodily harm. The cases I researched were UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, 483 F.2D 1222 (D.C. CIR. 1973), OPINION BY: ROBINSON, J. and PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, 526 P.2D 241 (CAL. 1974), OPINION BY: BURKE, J. In both cases the defenses entered a contest of self-defense. In the case of UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, the defendant claimed self- defense based on the fact that deceased, Charles Kiett put Peterson’s life in danger once Kiett advanced toward Peterson with a lug wrench raised in his hand. In the case of the PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, the defendant after noticing pry marks on his garage door set up a trap utilizing a .22 caliber pistol. In both cases the defenses were found to not be justifiable. In the case of UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, PETERSON was not acquitted of the charges and found guilty of manslaughter. Regarding the case of the PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, CEBALLOS was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.…
