Conspir- acy buffs have relentlessly tried to pin JFK's murder on both pro- and anti- Castro Cubans, the FBI, the CIA and even the Mafia. As Greene pursues leads to each of these links, the film keeps switching to dramatized flashback scenes in which Oswald is shown secret- ly meeting with a variety of sinister- looking figures. Obviously, someone is trying to recruit him for something. Back in the present, Oswald's defense team reads conspiracy into the most neb- ulous of clues. One of their potential witnesses is Found dead after being stabbed with an ice pick. "That sounds like the Mob," concludes Greene's assis- tant.

  • Considering Collusion: a Primer on Potential Crimes
    CONSIDERING COLLUSION: A PRIMER ON POTENTIAL CRIMES OCTOBER 31, 2018 BARRY H. BERKE, DANI R. JAMES, NOAH BOOKBINDER, AND NORMAN L. EISEN* In brief Although “collusion” is not the name of a codified crime,1 the term has come to be shorthand for the possibility that the Trump campaign, its advisors or the president himself coordinated with Russia to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election. Indeed, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been authorized to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump” and to prosecute federal crimes arising from that investigation.2 The president and his proxies have frequently advanced the claim that such coordination, even if it occurred, would not be unlawful. Their refrain that “collusion is not a crime” is in one sense correct. Collusion is not a single crime. It is instead a rubric that encompasses many possible offenses. We detail some of the principal ones in this report. All turn on the possibility that Trump or his associates took action in connection with Russia’s attempts to impact the outcome of our country’s presidential election. The criminal nature of the Russian effort is already well-known. The special counsel’s 191 charges brought against 35 individuals and companies spell out some of the crimes allegedly committed in furtherance of the Russian attack on our democracy. Those include indictments of Russian individuals and entities for their participation in conspiracies to hack into the computer and email systems of 1 The president himself has invoked the term to suggest various wrongdoing by opponents.

That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the paci- fists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

  • Secrecy Laws Would Treat Media As Spies
    NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE Informedissue 36 July 2021 requiring official ID and strip the Electoral Commission of powers to initiate criminal prosecutions of election wrongdoing, made their way through the Houses of Parliament. Under the Police, Crime, Courts and Sentencing Bill protestors could face criminal charges if otherwise peaceful demonstrations are deemed to cause “nuisance” or are “noisy” or even have an “impact” on others in the area. This Bill also gives a range of authorities the ability to extract information from electronic devices to seek evidence in prosecuting certain crimes; it’s unclear if this will affect journalists.

Lefcourt* I. INTRODUCTION As any litigator knows, cases are won or lost on the facts. Effective factual development and investigation are crucial to the success of any case. But lawyers are often faced with legal and ethical dilemmas concerning the investigative techniques they and their investigators want to use. This is particularly true in criminal cases, where discovery is extremely limited. One of the thorniest issues is the use of deception and other surreptitious techniques to gather information.

  • CHJPTER SEVEN Reconstructing Socialist Criminology 7.1 the Riots
    - 533 - CHJPTER SEVEN Reconstructing Socialist Criminology 7.1 The Riots of 1981 The most serious problem to confront the Thatcher Government in the first 2½ years of its project of social and economic construction emerged, in the event, from the underclass rather than from the organised Labour Movement. The serious but localised riots of 1980 in Brixton and Bristol - which had been authoritatively explained as resulting from conditions peculiar to particular neighbourhoods - were followed in July 1981 by a series of major disturbances in Southall, Toxteth, Brixton (on several separate occasions), Moss Side, and elsewhere. Massive amounts of property damage and looting occurred and large numbers of police and the public were injured. On 13 July, the Nerseyside Police became the first force in mainland Britain to make use of rubber bullets and CS gas on civilians, and, in the same week, the Government announced that army camps would be used to house those who received prison sentences as a result of the riots. The Government also announced its intention to investigate the possibility of legislating for a new Riot Act and generally proclaimed its support for more aggressive police responses in any future situation where there was "a threat to public order". In July and in August, further outbreaks of street violence occurred sporadically in Liverpool and in other British cities. These were authoritatively explained as "copycat riots", requiring the firm and deterrent response from the authorities. On 29 July, in Liverpool, 22 year old David Moore, crippled in one leg, died after being pinned against a wall by a Police Land-rover, after Merseyside Police had adopted the method of clearing crowds used by the RUC in Belfast (of driving vans at and through the people on the street) .
