This ended the year’s reign of Ramos’s SHAFTER service as Shafter’s DYW. Usually, the DYW of Shafter is kept very busy with public appearances, city functions, and competing at the state competition. Ramos competed in the state competition, held in Ba- kersfield, and won a “Be Your Best Self” award. The pandemic restricted Ramos’ reign as DYW and did not have much opportunity to participate in any city func- tions, ribbon cuttings, and other events. Ramos said it was an honor to represent “our wonderful city” and thanked everyone who supported her. While the judges were deliberating on Saturday night, Ramos gave a farewell speech in which she recounted her year and the experiences that she had being involved in the program. Here is Ramos’s farewell speech in its entirety: “Participating in a program such as Distinguished See NICOLE Page 4 Nicole Morris poses with her parents Chad and Janae Morris.

  • THE IMPACT of STATE V. SWINTON on the AUTHENTICATION of DIGITAL IMAGES∗
    File: Guthrie.362.GALLEY(f).doc Created on: 9/21/2007 3:34:00 PM Last Printed: 9/26/2007 9:54:00 AM THE SWINTON SIX: THE IMPACT OF STATE v. SWINTON ON THE AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES∗ Catherine Guthrie∗∗ Brittan Mitchell∗∗∗ I. INTRODUCTION “[T]he machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”1 Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle between rules of law and scientific and technological advances. Our court system’s response to this challenge is scrutiny and adaptability, two traits evidenced by the ebb and flow of requirements for authentication of digital images. This Article examines the evolution of authentication re- quirements for digital images, with particular emphasis on the impact of State v. Swinton.2 Part II of this Article provides an overview of digital images as well as the general rationale for their authentication. Part III reviews past statutory and common law rules for establishing the authenticity of such evidence. Part IV summarizes Swinton, a 2004 case from Connecticut which represents a major development in this area of law. Part V ap- plies the holding from Swinton to a new type of digital evidence, virtual autopsies, in a theoretical context. The Article concludes in Part VI. ∗ © 2007, Catherine Guthrie and Brittan Mitchell.

    Murder, Media, and Mayhem: The Metamorphosis of California Murder Cases to International Media Sensations By: Olivia Cusimano Advisor: Richard Perry Undergraduate Legal Studies Honors Thesis University of California, Berkeley 1 “Sometimes the power of the media, the power of the movie, can be very subtle and great.” -James Blatt, Attorney for Jesse James Hollywood I would like to take a moment to thank all those who helped me take an idea grown while watching Investigation Discovery on the couch and develop it into this project. From the initial guidance of Professor Musheno and Christina Carbone to the astute guidance of my advisor, Professor Perry, I am forever thankful. My family, too, has supported me mentally and even intellectually. To my Aunt Diane, I owe you so much for your direction and insight. I never would have parsed out a coherent thesis without our conversations at The Natural Café. Additionally, a never-ending thanks to those who supported me, made sure I didn’t give up, and listened to my unending laments without disowning me: Kent, Mike, Brendan, Safeena, Dani the entire Student Advocate’s Office, and everyone else who spent any iota of time listening to my laments. 2 Table of Contents I.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Black Hand, forerunners of the Mafia, planted bombs at stores and residences belonging to successful NItalians as a tactic in extortion schemes. To combat this evil, the New York Police Department (NYPD) founded the Italian Squad under Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who enthusiastically pursued those gangsters. Petrosino was assassinated in Palermo, Sicily, while investigating the criminal back- ground of mobsters active in New York. The Italian Squad was the gen- esis of today’s Bomb Squad.
