  • Reversible Errors and Errores Juris
    FEDERAL CONVICTIONS REVERSED The following is a publication of the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of New York. The cases are from United States Courts of Appeal and the United States Supreme Court. The opinions contain at least one point favorable to criminal defendants. The purpose is to give CJA Panel Attorneys a shortcut to case law favoring their clients. All cases should be researched to see if they are still viable. A precedent in one jurisdiction is not necessarily the law elsewhere. None of the cases should be cited without first reviewing the entire opinion. This warning is especially for prisoners and defendants who wish to rely on the cases herein. A one-line summary cannot possibly be sufficient to cite these cases without first reading each. These materials may be duplicated for any lawyer providing legal services to indigent defendants. Duplication is encouraged. These materials may be reprinted by other free publications or free on-line providers serving the criminal defense bar. Attribution to this office is requested. This collection has previously existed as Reversible Errors and Errores Juris. The new name reflects that coverage is now limited to errors overturning federal criminal convictions, not sentences, nor are other aspects of the criminal justice system addressed. There are two reasons. First, it has been difficult to update so many areas of law on a regular basis. Second, federal sentencing law has changed drastically in recent years and it will take time to determine the common bases for reversal among federal jurisdictions. Updates can be found at www .nynd-fpd.org The publications will be distributed by e-mail in Acrobat 8.0.

Mickey s one of the best American legal brains in the business, and to switch sides likes this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one . .Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with LAPD Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator. But as a new trial date is set, it starts to look like he s been set up. Mickey and Harry are going to have to dig deep into the past and find the truth about what really happened to the victim all those years ago in this nail-biting courtroom drama.

  • Standards of Prejudice on Appeal
    Appellate Advocacy College 2000 Lecture Standards of Prejudice on Appeal Renee Torres FIRST DISTRICT APPELLATE PROJECT STANDARDS OF REVERSAL on APPEAL in CRIMINAL CASES by Renée E. Torres1 [May 2000] INTRODUCTION 1 These materials incorporate and update “Standards of Review and Prejudice for Instructional Error” by J. Bradley O’Connell & Renée E. Torres (January 1995). FDAP gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Christine Kranich in the preparation of this outline. There are three basic standards of reversal for all criminal cases: (1) automatic reversal (per se) for structural defects in the trial mechanism; (2) reversal unless the State can show that federal constitutional error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; and (3) reversal for state law error only if appellant can show a reasonable probability of a better outcome. A fourth category of cases do not fit neatly into one of the first three categories. For some of these, the standard of review – i.e., the standard for determining if error occurred – is also the standard of reversal. That is, if the error occurred, it is reversible without further inquiry into prejudice. For others, once error is demonstrated, prejudice is presumed, but may be rebutted by evidence of harmlessness. This outline sets forth examples of reversible errors in all four categories. Because instructional error can call for reversal under any of the three major standards of reversal, it will be dealt with separately in its own section of this outline rather than as an example under each of the three major headings. I. STRUCTURAL DEFECTS AND REVERSAL PER SE "Structural defect" is a relatively new term for an old concept--error which is reversible per se.

  • Michael Connelly the Gods of Guilt Michael Connelly the Gods of Guilt
    MICHAEL CONNELLY THE GODS OF GUILT READ BY PETER GILES IN THE RIVETING NEW COURTROOM THRILLER FROM #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MICHAEL CONNELLY, LINCOLN LAWYER MICKEY HALLER DEFENDS A MURDER CASE IN WHICH THE VICTIM WAS HIS FORMER CLIENT. IS MICKEY TO BLAME? Mickey Haller gets the text “Call me ASAP––187,” and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game. When Mickey discovers that the victim was a prostitute he once represented and thought he MICHAEL had rescued, he knows there is no way he’ll let this one go. The case is suddenly about more than the guilt or innocence of the defendant––it’s about finding out what happened to a woman he cared for, a woman who he learns was back in L.A. and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey might have been the one who put her in danger. Mickey must follow his gut instinct directly into a dangerous world of intrigue and double-dealing to get justice for both of his clients, living and dead. As he faces the “gods of guilt”––the jurors who will deliver the ultimate verdict––he’s forced to struggle with his personal demons for a shot CONNELLY at his own redemption. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why “Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing even John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense” (Los Angeles Times).

It’s a provocative assignment, to be sure, and great fun to think about. The most vivid example that comes to mind is Tom Wolfe’s depiction of the system as a gigantic hungry beast, in The Bonfire of the Vanities.1 His narrative puts us at one juncture in the company of Larry Kramer, Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx, watching morosely as the vans that carry pretrial detainees from jail to the courthouse where Kramer practices discharge their cargo into the bowels of the building for morning court dates.
