Morrissey Vs. Brewer: Case Study
Morrissey v. Brewer

Morrissey v. Brewer accrued in 1972 and was marked the beginning of the United States supreme court involvement with parole revocation procedures. The problem with this certain case was whether the due process clauses of the Fourth Amendment required that a state give a person the chance to be heard before canceling their parole. This happened when Morrissey was charged with false drawing of checks in 1967 in Iowa. After he pled guilty, he was sentenced seven years in prison. Seven months later he paroled from Iowa state penitentiary in June of 1968. Morrissey was then arrested in his hometown for violation of parole and was taken to the local jail. After reviewing the parole officers written report, Iowa board decided

    Supreme Court Case: Tate Vs. Colorado

    At the trial, Tate moved to suppress evidence obtained during the investigation. As he did this, he noticed that when Officer Benda parked behind Tate, it was an unlawful seizure according to the fourth amendment. The court concluded that he was seized with reason to believe Tate was under the influence. This caused the conclusions to be reversed and was therefore inadmissible at trail. This case was moved to the district court and this court concluded that a person could not be seized within the meaning of the fourth amendment if he is unaware of the police presence. The court also concluded that Officer Benda had reasonable suspicion to arrest Tate, thus reversing the conclusions and was therefore inadmissible at…

    Gerald Scarpelli Case Summary

    Brewer, 408 U.S. 471 (1972). There we held that the revocation of parole is not a part of a criminal prosecution. "Parole arises after the end of the criminal prosecution, including imposition of sentence. . . . Revocation deprives an individual, not of the absolute liberty to which every citizen is entitled, but only of the conditional liberty properly dependent on observance of special parole restrictions." Even though the revocation of parole is not a part of the criminal prosecution, we held that the loss of liberty entailed is a serious deprivation requiring that the parolee be remitted due process. Specifically, we held that a parolee is entitled to two hearings, one a preliminary hearing at the time of his arrest and detention to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that he has committed a violation of his parole, and the other a somewhat more comprehensive hearing prior to the making of the final revocation…

    An en banc decision reinstated Moore’s conviction. This group of judges held that although his arrest violated Virginia’s arrest statutes, exclusion of evidence was not the remedy because the Fourth Amendment’s requirement for probable cause was satisfied. Moore appealed to Virginia’s Supreme Court after this. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the grounds of the arrest was unlawful and there was no right to search Moore. There were several other cases that were used and helped Moore. Two of them that the court used were Knowles v. Iowa and United States…

    Kansas Vs. Cheever: Supreme Court Case

    3d, at 1023, it reasoned that voluntary intoxi­cation is not a “mental disease or defect” as a matter of state law. Id., at 250, 284 P. 3d, at 1023–1024 (citing State v. Kleypas, 272 Kan. 894, 40 P. 3d 139 (2001)). The court therefore concluded that “Cheever did not waive his Fifth Amendment privilege and thus permit his court­ ordered examination by Dr. Welner to be used against him at trial.” 295 Kan., at 251, 284 P. 3d, at 1024. This reasoning misconstrues our precedents. Although Kansas law defines “mental disease or defect” narrowly, exclude voluntary intoxication, that phrase is actually not the salient one under our precedents. In Buchanan, we permitted rebuttal testimony where the defendant pre­sented evidence of “the mental status’ defense of extreme emotional disturbance.” 483 U. S., at 423. And “mental status” is a broader term than “mental disease or defect,” at least to the extent that Kansas law excludes voluntary intoxication from that definition. Mental-status defenses include those based on psychological expert evidence as to a defendant’s mens rea, mental capacity to commit the crime, or ability to premeditate. Defendants need not as­sert a “mental disease or defect” in order to assert a de­fense based on “mental status.” To the extent that the Kansas Supreme Court declined to apply Buchanan because Cheever’s intoxication was “temporary,” our precedents are again not so narrowly circumscribed. Like voluntary intoxication, extreme emo­tional disturbance is a “temporary” condition, at least according to the Kentucky state courts where Buchanan was tried. See McClellan v. Commonwealth, 715 S. W. 2d 464, 468–469 (Ky. 1986) (defining extreme emotional disturbance…

    Hurbert Gene Evans Film Analysis

    In October of 2001, Arnold observed a woman at her door. When she opens the door, Evans was hiding in front of the woman and then asked Arnold for a glass of water. Arnold told Evans to get off of her property while slamming the door in his face. Arnold attempted to get the license plate of the vehicle that Evans was driving while calling the police. This incident was used to prove that Evans was stalking Arnold. Evans had been arrested and tried on by jury for first offense stalking and three counts of first-degree harassment. The charges of harassment were enhanced to the first degree because Evans had been convicted of harassment four times prior. Evans was convicted by the jury of stalking and two counts of first-degree harassment. He was sentenced to two years in prison for each conviction, to serve consecutively, with $3000 in fines. Evans appealed the conviction because there was insufficient evidence to support convictions. The courts violated his first amendment rights. There was extreme prejudice, so he demanded a change of venue and his sentence was…

    After he had turned 18, he was sentenced to death. His direct appeal and subsequent petitions for state and federal post-conviction relief were rejected. Simmons filed a new petition for state post- conviction relief, arguing that Atkins reasoning established that the Constitution prohibits the execution of a juvenile who was under 18 when he committed his crime. The Missouri Supreme Court agreed and set aside Simmons' death sentence in favor of life imprisonment without eligibility for release.…
