  • The Unnecessary Crime of Conspiracy
    California Law Review VOL. 61 SEPTEMBER 1973 No. 5 The Unnecessary Crime of Conspiracy Phillip E. Johnson* The literature on the subject of criminal conspiracy reflects a sort of rough consensus. Conspiracy, it is generally said, is a necessary doctrine in some respects, but also one that is overbroad and invites abuse. Conspiracy has been thought to be necessary for one or both of two reasons. First, it is said that a separate offense of conspiracy is useful to supplement the generally restrictive law of attempts. Plot- ters who are arrested before they can carry out their dangerous schemes may be convicted of conspiracy even though they did not go far enough towards completion of their criminal plan to be guilty of attempt.' Second, conspiracy is said to be a vital legal weapon in the prosecu- tion of "organized crime," however defined.' As Mr. Justice Jackson put it, "the basic conspiracy principle has some place in modem crimi- nal law, because to unite, back of a criniinal purpose, the strength, op- Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley.

OF TORONTO FACULTY OF LAW REv. 56, 61-62 (1956): "Since we are fettered by an unrealistic law of criminal attempts, overbalanced in favour of external acts, awaiting the lit match or the cocked and aimed pistol, the law of criminal conspiracy has been em- ployed to fill the gap."

  • Spartanburg Man Receives Two Life Prison Sentences for Murder & Burglary
    SPARTANBURG MAN RECEIVES TWO LIFE PRISON SENTENCES FOR MURDER & BURGLARY A Spartanburg man received two life prison sentences today for killing a local man during a residential break- in. Howard Lee Sims, 35, was found guilty of murder and first-degree burglary at the conclusion a three-day jury trial. He will serve every day of Circuit Judge Derham Cole’s prison sentence. He is not eligible for parole. Sims brutally stabbed 56-year-old John W. Lammers to death on June 1, 2007. The homicide occurred at the victim’s Carlton Drive home. Principal Deputy Solicitor Barry Barnette partnered with Assistant Solicitor Zach Ellis to prosecute the case. Sims entered the home through a partially open window in the bathroom and attacked the victim in a nearby bedroom. The victim’s brother, David Lammers, testified that he was asleep in another bedroom when the attack started. David Lammers told jurors he fought with Sims briefly before the assailant fled the home. Jurors heard testimony from a State Law Enforcement Division forensic DNA analyst who said blood on the shoes, socks and shorts of Sims matched the victim. Dr. David Wren, the pathologist who performed the autopsy, testified that John Lammers sustained 16 stab wounds and he died after going into cardiac arrest due to blood loss. The victim could have been lying down or sitting at his computer when he was attacked, according to Wren. Wren also said he didn’t see any sign of a defensive wound on the victim. “It was like a scene out of a horror movie but it happened here in the city of Spartanburg,” Barnette said.

  • Criminal Assault Includes Both a Specific Intent to Commit a Battery, and a Battery That Is Otherwise Unprivileged Committed with Only General Intent
    QUESTION 5 Don has owned Don's Market in the central city for twelve years. He has been robbed and burglarized ten times in the past ten months. The police have never arrested anyone. At a neighborhood crime prevention meeting, apolice officer told Don of the state's new "shoot the burglar" law. That law reads: Any citizen may defend his or her place of residence against intrusion by a burglar, or other felon, by the use of deadly force. Don moved a cot and a hot plate into the back of the Market and began sleeping there, with a shotgun at the ready. After several weeks of waiting, one night Don heard noises. When he went to the door, he saw several young men running away. It then dawned on him that, even with the shotgun, he might be in a precarious position. He would likely only get one shot and any burglars would get the next ones. With this in mind, he loaded the shotgun and fastened it to the counter, facing the front door. He attached a string to the trigger so that the gun would fire when the door was opened. Next, thinking that when burglars enter it would be better if they damaged as little as possible, he unlocked the front door. He then went out the back window and down the block to sleep at his girlfriend's, where he had been staying for most of the past year. That same night a police officer, making his rounds, tried the door of the Market, found it open, poked his head in, and was severely wounded by the blast.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSES IN OKLAHOMA CHRISTEN R. BLAIR* Introduction The lesser included offense doctrine in criminal law generally allows the trier of fact to convict a defendant of an offense that is less serious than the offense with which he was charged in the accusatory pleading.' While the doctrine originally developed as an aid to the prosecution when there was insufficient evidence to convict on the charged offense,2 today it is more often used by defendants seeking a conviction for an offense less serious than that actually charged.3 Regardless of who invokes the doctrine in a criminal trial, however, its application has caused considerable confusion among courts and commentators alike.4 Commentators have called it a "Gordian Knot" 5 and a "many-headed hydra." ' 6 The Florida Supreme Court has stated: "The doc- trine [of lesser included offense] is one which has challenged the effective administration of criminal justice for centuries," 7 while the District of Col- umbia Circuit Court of Appeals has said that the doctrine "[is] not without difficulty in any area of the criminal law." 8 The primary cause of this confu- sion is the existence of several different definitions of a lesser included offense, sometimes even within the same jurisdiction.

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2018 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus QUARLES v. UNITED STATES CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT No. 17–778. Argued April 24, 2019—Decided June 10, 2019 When petitioner Jamar Quarles pled guilty to being a felon in posses- sion of a firearm in violation of 18 U. S. C. §922(g)(1), he also ap- peared to qualify for enhanced sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act because he had at least three prior “violent felony” con- victions, §924(e). He claimed, however, that a 2002 Michigan convic- tion for third-degree home invasion did not qualify, even though §924(e) defines “violent felony” to include “burglary,” and the generic statutory term “burglary” means “unlawful or unprivileged entry in- to, or remaining in, a building or structure, with intent to commit a crime,” Taylor v. United States, 495 U. S. 575, 599 (emphasis added). Quarles argued that Michigan’s third-degree home invasion statute— which applies when a person “breaks and enters a dwelling or enters a dwelling without permission and, at any time while he or she is en- tering, present in, or exiting the dwelling, commits a misdemeanor,” Mich.

  • Misprison of Felony
    South Carolina Law Review Volume 6 Issue 1 Article 8 Fall 9-1-1953 Misprison of Felony E. L. Morgan Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/sclr Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation E. Lee Morgan, Misprison of Felony, 6 S.C.L.R. 87. (1953). This Note is brought to you by the Law Reviews and Journals at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in South Carolina Law Review by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Morgan: Misprison of Felony MISPRISION OF FELONY Misprision1 of felony has been defined in various ways, but per- haps its best definition is as follows: "Misprision of felony at common law is a criminal neglect either to prevent a felony from being committed or to bring the offender to justice after its com- mission, but without such previous concert with or subsequent assis- tance of him as will make the concealer an accessory before or after 12 the fact." In the modern use of the term, misprision of felony has been said to be almost, if not identically, the same offense as that of an acces- sory after the fact.3 It has also been stated that misprision is nothing more than a word used to describe a misdemeanor which does not possess a specific name.4 It is that offense of concealing a felony committed by another, but without such previous concert with or subsequent assistance to the felon as would make the concealing party an accessory before or after the fact.5 Misprision is distinguished from compounding an offense on the basis of consideration or amends; misprision is a bare concealment of crime, while compounding is a concealment for a reward by one 6 directly injured by the crime.

OVERVIEW Burglary, theft and fraud convictions have two potential immigration consequences. They could constitute an aggravated felony conviction, in the categories of burglary, theft, or a crime of violence with a year’s sentence imposed, or fraud with a loss to the victim/s exceeding $10,000.1 In addition they can and frequently do constitute a conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude (“CIMT”).2 Including in felony cases, an informed criminal defender often can avoid conviction of an aggravated felony, the more serious immigration penalty, and sometimes can avoid a CIMT. A single offense has the potential to come within multiple adverse immigration categories, e.g. be an aggravated felony as burglary and as attempted theft. Check the offense against all immigration categories in this Note. The main defense strategies to avoid an aggravated felony in this area are: To avoid an aggravated felony for burglary or theft offenses, avoid a sentence imposed of one year or more on any single count.

  • Statutes of Limitation in Criminal Law: the Perjury Dilemma Chester T
    STATUTES OF LIMITATION IN CRIMINAL LAW: THE PERJURY DILEMMA CHESTER T. LUNE* In recent years, unnumbered hundreds of persons called before con- gressional committees, grand juries, and other like inquisitorial bodies have declined to answer questions as to their present or past connections with the Communist Party or its "front" organizations, on the ground that their answers, if truthfully given, would tend to incriminate them.' In availing themselves of the privilege against self-incrimination they have, as an alternative to possible prosecution, chosen to expose themselves to a large measure of public scorn, as well as to the loss of a variety of other privileges with which the ordinary law-abiding citizen is invested.' It is no part of the purpose of this article to recross the ground covered by Dean Erwin N. Griswold's non-technical but masterly ex- position of the importance of the privilege against self-incrimination in our national tradition of individual liberty, and of the misconceptions which today in too many quarters follow from its use.' Suffice it to say that the writer would, as did Dean Griswold,4 assume for purposes of his thesis that in at least some undetermined proportion of the cases where the privilege has been claimed, the witness has been completely innocent of any conscious wrong-doing, and indeed of any wrong-doing at all in a legal sense, and yet has honestly and justifiably believed that the con- sequences of truthful answering might be even more severe than the social and economic consequences of being branded a "Fifth Amendment Communist." For how can he tell but that his own very truthful answers will be used as links to forge a chain of evidence to convict him of the crime of perjury.

  • Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations
    Sexual Burglaries and Sexual Homicide: Clinical, Forensic, and Investigative Considerations Louis B. Schlesinger, PhD, and Eugene Revitch, MD Burglary, the third most common crime after larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft, is rarely the focus of forensic psychiatric study. While most burglaries are moti- vated simply by material gain, there is a subgroup of burglaries fueled by sexual dynamics. The authors differentiate two types of sexual burglaries: 1) fetish burglaries with overt sexual dynamics; and 2) voyeuristic burglaries, in which the sexual element is often covert and far more subtle. Many forensic practitioners have informally noted the relationship of burglaries to sexual homicide, but this relationship has not otherwise been studied in any detail. In this article, the incidence of (sexual) burglaries by 52 sexual murderers whom the authors eval- uated, as well as the incidence in cases reported by others, is reported. Implica- tions of these findings for forensic assessments and profiling of unidentified offenders are discussed. Since the early 1990s, crime in general slightly more burglaries occurred during has declined in the United States, includ- the day (5 1%) when, supposedly, the oc- ing the overall rates for burglary (Federal cupants would not be home.

  • Theft, Burglary, & Property Damage Dynamics
    THEFT, BURGLARY, & PROPERTY DAMAGE DYNAMICS BY CHRIS HARPER LAW ENFORCEMENT LIAISON COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS ADVOCATE TODAY’S OBJECTIVES By the end of this workshop, you will be able to: • Define theft, burglary, and property damage. • Describe how these three crimes differ from one another. • Identify problems with these crimes that exist in your own community. • Identify potential solutions to current problems using resources or ideas from your community. PRE-TEST MY EXPERIENCE • Back in 1992 I was living in Phoenix, Arizona, going to school and working construction. I was living in a small one-bedroom apartment. One day I came home after work to find that one or more people had been in my apartment. Someone had jumped over the small porch wall and pried open the back sliding door. They took my TV, stereo, VCR, video tapes and my precious cassette mix tapes. The subject or subjects had punched holes in the walls and had broken the bathroom mirror. I felt very vulnerable after that, just knowing someone was in my house, and it was very easy for them to get in. What if I was home at night asleep, what could have happened? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (PAIR UP!) • Have you (or someone you love) ever been a victim of the same theft, burglary or property damage? • If so, what happened? How did you feel? How did you respond? • Is theft a problem in your community? What are the main types of theft? • What would you, personally, like to get out of this workshop today? THEFT • To commit theft, you have to take someone elses property without the owners consent and with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of its use or possession.
