  • Lessons from New York's Recent Experience with Capital Punishment
    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR: LESSONS FROM NEW YORK’S RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT James R. Acker* INTRODUCTION On March 7, 1995, Governor George Pataki signed legislation authorizing the death penalty in New York for first-degree murder,1 representing the State’s first capital punishment law enacted in the post- Furman era.2 By taking this action the governor made good on a pledge that was central to his campaign to unseat Mario Cuomo, a three-term incumbent who, like his predecessor, Hugh Carey, had repeatedly vetoed legislative efforts to resuscitate New York’s death penalty after it had been declared unconstitutional.3 The promised law was greeted with enthusiasm. The audience at the new governor’s inauguration reserved its most spirited 4 ovation for Pataki’s reaffirmation of his support for capital punishment. * Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany; Ph.D. 1987, University at Albany; J.D. 1976, Duke Law School; B.A. 1972, Indiana University. In the spirit of full disclosure, the author appeared as a witness at one of the public hearings (Jan. 25, 2005) sponsored by the Assembly Committees discussed in this Article. 1. Twelve categories of first-degree murder were made punishable by death under the 1995 legislation, and a thirteenth type (killing in furtherance of an act of terrorism) was added following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. N.Y. PENAL LAW § 125.27 (McKinney 2003). Also detailed were the procedures governing the prosecution’s filing of a notice of intent to seek the death penalty, N.Y.

  • The Common Law Powers of the New York State Attorney General
    THE COMMON LAW POWERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Bennett Liebman* The role of the Attorney General in New York State has become increasingly active, shifting from mostly defensive representation of New York to also encompass affirmative litigation on behalf of the state and its citizens. As newly-active state Attorneys General across the country begin to play a larger role in national politics and policymaking, the scope of the powers of the Attorney General in New York State has never been more important. This Article traces the constitutional and historical development of the At- torney General in New York State, arguing that the office retains a signifi- cant body of common law powers, many of which are underutilized. The Article concludes with a discussion of how these powers might influence the actions of the Attorney General in New York State in the future.

  • Gatekeepers” Come Under Prosecutors’ Scrutiny
    Legal Backgrounder Washington Legal Foundation Advocate for freedom and justice® 2009 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20036 202.588.0302 Vol. 18 No. 34 August 22, 2003 LAWYERS, ACCOUNTANTS AND OTHER CAPITAL MARKET “GATEKEEPERS” COME UNDER PROSECUTORS’ SCRUTINY by Lanny A. Breuer and Christopher J. Burke Over the last two years, following the scandals involving Enron, Arthur Andersen, WorldCom, and other high-profile corporations, it has been well documented that prosecutors have shifted and expanded the focus of their corporate fraud investigations. In this new era of inquiry, some have noted that prosecutors have been “feeling the heat” following their promises of last year to put all of “America’s corporate wrongdoers in jail.” The Ex-Bosses Fight Back, THE ECONOMIST, Apr. 12, 2003. Perhaps as a result, prosecutors have set their sights on a larger group of actors, in an effort to broadly attack a culture of perceived corporate excess. As this LEGAL BACKGROUNDER will demonstrate, two factors have come together to place a particular focus not only on corporations allegedly participating in fraudulent transactions, but also on the entities that have provided assistance to those corporations. First, prosecutors and legal observers have indicated over the last year that there will be a new focus on pursuing the gatekeepers of the capital markets — the lawyers, accountants and other financial professionals who, although not involved directly in the scrutinized transaction, assisted the transacting company in accessing the financial markets. Second, although there had been signs that prosecutors have become wary of bringing criminal charges against an entire company or firm in the wake of Arthur Andersen’s demise, there are recent indications that corporations, including gatekeeping corporations, are still squarely in the sights of prosecutors.
