DETERS DANIEL F. BURKE, JR. (0013836) Hamilton County Prosecutor Attorney for Appellant William Howard Taft Law Center 230 East Ninth Street 3rd Floor Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 (513) 946-3701 Fax: (513) 946-3707 WILLIAM E. BREYER (002138) ROGER W. KIRK (0024219) Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Attorney for Appellant 230 East Ninth Street, Suite 4000 114 E. Eighth Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 (513) 946-3244 (513) 272-1100 Fax: (513) 946-3100 Fax: (513) 271-8888 Table of Contents Page No. Table of Contents . i Table of Authorities . iv Statement of the Facts ..................... ................................1 Proposition of Law No. 1 . 16 The trial court abused its discretion and erred by not providing the defendant with a proper capital murder case voir dire when the court allowed the prosecutor to ask prospective jurors in voir dire about specific mitigating factors of the defendant.. It violates the accused's Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and Article One §§, 5, 9, 10 and 16 of the State of Ohio Constitution. Proposition of Law No. 2 . 17 An accused in a capital case hasa due process right to a fair voir dire under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and under Article One, §§2, 5, 9, 10 and 16 of the State of Ohio Constitution. Where the trial court overrules the defendant's Batson challenge to the State of Ohio's use of multiple peremptory challenges for excusing minority members of the jury venire, it violates the defendant's due process rights to his prejudice. Proposition of Law No. 3 . 18 The trial court erred to Pickens' prejudice by permitting the State to engage in misconduct by failing to disclose discovery evidence in a timely manner, failing to disclose Brady material evidence in discovery and by allowing the prosecutor to make a prejudicial closing argument to the jury which deprived him of his due process right to a fair trial under the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments under the United States Constitution and Article One, § §2, 9, and 16 of the Constitution of the State of Ohio. Proposition of Law No. 4 . 26 Pickens' convictions and sentences are void and/or voidable since he was denied the effective assistance of counsel and due process guaranteed under the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and Section 10, Article I of the Ohio Constitution, §§1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 16 and 20 by defense counsel's errors during pre-trial, voir dire, trial phase, and sentencing phase of his capital murder trial. Proposition of Law No. 5 . 31 Pickens' convictions and/or sentences are void or voidable because the death penalty is disproportionately imposed upon defendants who are racial minorities. This disparity exists in Hamilton County and the State of Ohio. The clisparity existed in Hamilton Courity, Ohio, at the time of Mark Pickens' capital murder trial. Proposition of Law No. 6 . 31 The mere fact that a defendant kills a person who had earlier sworn out a complaint against the defendant for an offense is insufficient to sustain a finding of guilt for the O.R.C. § 2929.04(A)(8) specification. The evidence must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant killed the victim because she had sworn out the earlier complaint. Proposition of Law No. 7 . 35 The splicing of the DVDs located at Gateway plaza of defendant leaving and returning to his apartment on May 31, June 1, and June 2 was improper and the evidence should not have been allowed. 36 Proposition of Law No. 8 . Ohio's death penalty law is unconstitutional. O.R.C. §§ 2903.01, 2929.02, 2929.021, 2929.02, 2929.023, 2929.03, 2929.04 and 2929.05 do not meet the prescribed constitutional requirements and are unconstitutional on their face and as applied to Mark Pickens. U.S. Const. amends. V, VI, VIII, and XIV; Ohio Const. art. I, §§ 2, 9, 10, and 16. Further, Ohio's death penalty statute violates the United States' obligations under international law. Proposition of Law No. 9 . 49 A conviction based upon insufficient evidence is a deprivation of due process. U.S. Const. Amend. V & XIV; Ohio Const. Art. I, § 10. 50 Proposition of Law No. 10 . Considered together, the cumulative errors set forth in Appellant's brief merit reversal. Conclusion ................................................................. 51 . 52 Certificate of Service .

  • The Media's Impact on Play in the Australian Football League
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/pcssr-2018-0001 Managed Play: The Media’s Impact on Play in the Australian Football League Authors’ contribution: Samuel Keith Duncan A) conception and design of the study B) acquisition of data Holmesglen Institute, Australia, Victoria C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT No industry has influenced the transformation of the Australian Football League (AFL) into a professional, commercial business more than the media. Today, the AFL players are paid more than ever and are used as marketing tools to promote and sell the game, often to new fans in new markets of Australia – namely New South Wales and Queensland - who haven’t traditionally played Australian Football, preferring the rugby codes instead. But perhaps the biggest change in the AFL is that the play element is now used as function of business. Put simply, winning leads to more money. As such, the play element is now manipulated more than ever. The game has more coaches implementing more tactics, strategies, game plans and set plays than ever before. These changes can be linked back to the media’s influence on the game. This paper utilises the combined observations and theories of Johan Huizinga and Pierre Bourdieu to create a theoretical lens through which we can understand the media’s growing influence in sport and its impact on play’s transformation. The theory will then be expounded through an extensive analysis of the media’s influence in the AFL, particularly its play element. This analysis will be supported with insights and views from AFL fans, members, commentators and theorists.

Rebuild. Reconnect. We seek to give all participants the power of purpose. About Reclink Australia Reclink Australia is a charitable organisation whose mission is to provide sport and arts activities to enhance the lives of people experiencing disadvantage. Targeting some of the community’s most vulnerable and isolated people – those who are experiencing mental illness, disability, homelessness, substance abuse issues, addictions and social and economic hardship – Reclink Australia has facilitated cooperative partnerships with a network of over 490 member agencies committed to encouraging participation in physical and artistic activity in a population group very under-represented in mainstream sport and recreational programs and associations. We believe that sport and the arts will become accepted as a primary approach to improving the lives of those experiencing homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction and socio-economic disadvantage. Those tackling social isolation and disadvantage will seek out Reclink Australia knowing that participating in our activities will change their lives for the better. More than 9500 activities were conducted this year across Reclink Australia’s 21 networks.
