Yes, a victim can sue his/or her offender, after the rape has occurred the victim can proceed civilly, even if there were no criminal charges filed. Brody, et al., (2008) it is helpful if criminal charges were filed because convictions for criminal cases make it much easier to predetermine liability in civil cases. In other words, if there is a guilty verdict, then there is no need to litigate liability for a civil case because the civil burden of proof is lower than the criminal burden. Brody, et al., (2008)…

Since John was in custody, what are the procedural steps the police were required to take once John began to incriminate himself? The police have no obligation to stop John Doe from making any statements. “Excited Utterance” made by a defendant before being questioned are admissible as statements given under Miranda advisement. Once the police begin to question John Doe regarding the theft, then they are required to read or provide Mr. Doe with his Miranda Warnings. Miranda rights (Miranda rule, Miranda warning) n. the requirement set by the U. S. Supreme Court in Miranda v. Alabama (1966) that prior to the time of arrest and any interrogation of a person suspected of a crime, he/she must be told that he/she has: "the right to remain silent, the right to legal counsel, and the right to be told that anything he/she says can be used in court against" him/her. Further, if the accused person confesses to the authorities, the prosecution must prove to the judge that the defendant was informed of them and knowingly waived those rights, before the confession can be introduced in the defendant's criminal trial. The warnings are known as "Miranda Rights" or just "rights." The Miranda rule supposedly prevents self-incrimination in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Sometimes there is a question of admissibility of answers to questions made by the defendant before he/she was considered a prime suspect, raising a factual issue as to what is a prime suspect and when does a person become such a suspect?…
Greeting courtroom members, I am Shaneka Lewis apart of the Defence Attorney and I will be representing my client Donovan Tisi pleading not guilty upon the robbery and bodily harm charges. On December 5th 2013 at 5:30 PM, Anver Williams had claimed to be walking home from his basketball practice where he perhaps had been wearing his brand new basketball sneakers. As Mr. Williams was walking home he decided to take a short-cut home from a dark alley way that leads to Eglinton Ave. As Anver Williams was walking he seemed to come across a group of older men. Anver Williams explained how the young men approached him and toke away his hat and his sneakers after while being brutally attacked. My question and argument court, is to why my client Donovan is being called upon out of all of the young men who had claimed to be there during this dispute, is there enough proof or evidence to show that Donovan Tisi had been there or even took part in this crime, that Anver Williams is not sure of who had harmed or robbed him? As we are gathered here court I would like you all to investigate or try to find real evidence to prove that it had been my client Donovan that shows his participation in this act.…
