  • President John F. Kennedy's Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph
    For Immediate Release Contact: Alyssa Purvis November 18, 2013 Communications Assistant O: 216-721-5722 ext. 1407 [email protected] President John F. Kennedy’s Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph Collection in WRHS Research Library Images donated by Ray T. Miller, head of Cuyahoga County Democratic Party for over 20 years, capture multiple Cleveland appearances by JFK in the years preceding his assassination CLEVELAND, OH – The odds of interacting with the President of the United States today are slim. Security is endless, making it difficult to even catch a glimpse of the country’s Commander-In-Chief. Take one look at the images in the Ray T. Miller collection at Western Reserve Historical Society, and it will become obvious that times were much different during a presidential campaign in the late 1950s. The images in the collection document John F. Kennedy’s multiple visits to the Cleveland area during the years preceding and during his presidency. In many of the photos, Mrs. Kennedy is seen accompanying the President as he is surrounded by hundreds of Cleveland residents. Crowds can be seen anxiously awaiting President Kennedy’s arrival at multiple locations across town; the airport, a podium in Public Square, or a steer roast at Euclid Beach Park. The images are available to be viewed by visitors in the Research Library at the WRHS History Center in University Circle. The photos from the Miller Collection prove to be even more interesting to visitors this year, the year marking the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination. Kennedy campaigned throughout Ohio and while doing so, he congregated with prominent Clevelanders such as Carl B.

    College of William & Mary Law School William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository Faculty Publications Faculty and Deans 2016 Post-Trial Pleas Bargaining in Capital Cases: Using Conditional Commutations to Remove Weak Cases from Death Row Adam M. Gershowitz William & Mary Law School, [email protected] Repository Citation Gershowitz, Adam M., "Post-Trial Pleas Bargaining in Capital Cases: Using Conditional Commutations to Remove Weak Cases from Death Row" (2016). Faculty Publications. 1828. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/facpubs/1828 Copyright c 2016 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/facpubs Post-Trial Plea Bargaining in Capital Cases: Using Conditional Clemency to Remove Weak Cases from Death Row Adam M. Gershowitz∗ Abstract Plea bargaining accounts for over ninety percent of criminal convictions and it dominates the American criminal justice system. Yet, once a defendant is convicted, bargaining almost completely disappears from the system. Even though years of litigation are on the horizon, there is nearly no bargaining in the appellate and habeas corpus process. There are two reasons for this. First, prosecutors and courts typically lack the power to alter a sentence that has already been imposed. Second, even if prosecutors had the authority to negotiate following a conviction, they would have little incentive to do so. Affirmance rates in ordinary criminal cases approach ninety-five percent in many jurisdictions. Because the government has little incentive to bargain, defendants slowly churn their way through the formal appellate and habeas process. The lack of post-trial bargaining makes perfect sense in ordinary criminal cases.
