Borden Italian Department Bachelor of Arts This thesis examines the constitutional guarantees of impartiality granted in both the United States and Italian constitutions. Aided by the presentation of these two constitutional legal systems, this paper will attempt to break apart the elements of each system and point out key differences. By pointing out the differences in these systems including variations in their founding documents, the structure of the courts, the role of the judges, the role of the advocates, and the role of other key players, this paper will show that while individual cases in both countries are exposed to multiple biases throughout the legal process, in the end justice is given impartially.

[email protected] Author, Ohio Domestic Violence Benchbook for Judges Former Ohio Domestic Relations Judge Some Statistical Issues A Boston Surprise In one recent year, Boston homicide detectives opened 150 case files That would be an all-time record high for murders in that city BUT: It turned out the city did not actually have a record number of homicides that year WHY? 3 A Boston Surprise In 82 of those 150 cases the victim did not die as originally expected Boston’s medical care system saved over half of potential homicide victims Those 82 cases became aggravated assault files, instead of homicide files Many victims are alive today who would have been a death statistic 25 years ago 4 What Have We Accomplished?

  • Yates Was Insane When Children Drowned, Jury Finds (Update2) Page 1 of 2 Bloomberg Printer-Friendly Page 7/28/2006
    Bloomberg Printer-Friendly Page Page 1 of 2 Yates Was Insane When Children Drowned, Jury Finds (Update2) July 26 (Bloomberg) -- Andrea Yates, the Texas mother accused of drowning her five children in a bathtub in 2001, was found innocent by reason of insanity after a retrial. The jury, selected after an appeals court overturned a 2002 guilty verdict, accepted Yates's plea of not guilty based on the argument that she didn't know it was wrong to kill the children at the time. Yates, 42, will be sent to a mental institution, though it hasn't been determined where. According to Texas law, defendants can be declared not guilty by reason of insanity if it is determined that they were unaware that their actions were wrong at the time they committed the crime. When Yates was first tried in 2002, she also confessed to the killings and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. ``The jury was able to see past what happened and look at why it happened,'' Rusty Yates, Andrea Yates's former husband, said during a press conference after the verdict. The couple divorced last year. Yates, who had a history of postpartum depression, said she drowned her children one by one and then dialed 911 to request police assistance. When officers arrived, Yates led them into a bedroom where 6- month-old Mary, sons Luke, 2; Paul, 3; and John, 5, lay on a bed, covered with a sheet. The oldest, Noah, 7, was found dead in the bathtub, police said. Postpartum Depression Yates will probably remain in a mental institution for life, said Charles Ewing, a forensic psychologist, professor of law at Buffalo Law School and author of books including ``Battered Women Who Kill'' and ``Fatal Families: The Dynamics of Intrafamilial Homicide.'' ``Theoretically, she's eligible for release when she's no longer mentally ill and dangerous,'' Ewing said.

  • Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection 1898-1943 15 boxes (4 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 061 Collection overview A native of Rockland, Maine, Alton H. "Blackie" Blackington (1893-1963) was a writer, photojournalist, and radio personality associated with New England "lore and legend." After returning from naval service in the First World War, Blackington joined the staff of the Boston Herald, covering a range of current events, but becoming well known for his human interest features on New England people and customs. He was successful enough by the mid-1920s to establish his own photo service, and although his work remained centered on New England and was based in Boston, he photographed and handled images from across the country. Capitalizing on the trove of New England stories he accumulated as a photojournalist, Blackington became a popular lecturer and from 1933-1953, a radio and later television host on the NBC network, Yankee Yarns, which yielded the books Yankee Yarns (1954) and More Yankee Yarns (1956). This collection of glass plate negatives was purchased by Robb Sagendorf of Yankee Publishing around the time of Blackington's death. Reflecting Blackington's photojournalistic interests, the collection covers a terrain stretching from news of public officials and civic events to local personalities, but the heart of the collection is the dozens of images of typically eccentric New England characters and human interest stories. Most of the images were taken by Blackington on 4x5" dry plate negatives, however many of the later images are made on flexible acetate stock and the collection includes several images by other (unidentified) photographers distributed by the Blackington News Service.

  • Part One Part
    On January 30, 2014, the appeals court in Florence, Italy, reinstated the guilty verdicts for Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2007. Knox filed an appeal in April 2014 with the Italian Supreme court against the Florence ruling. This is an English language summary of her appeal document which can be downloaded here: http://www.amandaknoxcase.com/wp- content/uploads/2014/08/Amanda-Knox-Supreme-Court-Appeal.pdf Part One Issues of constitutional illegitimacy An issue of constitutional illegitimacy is raised concerning the possibility in Italian proceedings of having an “eternal repetition” of trials, without any limit to the number of times a defendant can be subjected to them for the same charge. [It is important to note that in this context “trial” means not the whole proceeding for a given charge, but each single step of it in front of a different Court]. Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and article 111 of the Italian Constitution provide for proceedings having an end in a “reasonable time”. Italian Law has established (with law 89/2001 concerning financial compensations for too long trials) that this “reasonable time” clause is satisfied if a proceeding comes to a definitive verdict in six years. The present proceeding has exceeded such time limit. The European Court for Human Rights has also censored multiple times Italy for the length of its proceedings. Furthermore, there is a second issue of constitutional illegitimacy linked to the practice of multiple repeated levels of judgement [trials] without a well specified time limit: those defendants charged with crimes which admit a statute of limitations may have an interest in delaying the proceedings as long as possible to take advantage from the expiration of the statute, while those charged with crimes [like murder] which do not allow for a statute of limitations may only suffer the negative effects of an endless proceeding.
