  • I:\MOON\Rob\Vacation Orders\Miller Suppression Denial.Wpd
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA CHARLOTTESVILLE DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CASE NO. 3:06-CR-50025 v. OPINION AND ORDER HASSAN J. MILLER, Defendant. JUDGE NORMAN K. MOON This matter is before the Court on Defendant Miller’s August 5, 2006 Motion to Suppress and Exclude Evidence. For the reasons set forth below, this motion will be denied. I. Facts and Procedural History This case arose out of a traffic stop on Friday, May 26, 2006. On that day at about 7:44 PM, Virginia State Trooper N. R. White stopped an Acura Integra driven by Defendant Miller, suspecting excessive window tint. The car had Connecticut license plates and was registered to a woman’s name, although both Defendant Miller and his passenger were men. Trooper White measured the window tint and found it to be darker than permitted by Virginia law, allowing only 23% of light to pass rather than 50%. He also requested the driver’s licenses of both the driver and the passenger, one Kwane Kareem Walker. These were issued by the state of New York. Trooper White noted that the driver’s heart was pounding so hard that his chest was visibly pulsing through his shirt. In addition, his carotid artery was visibly pulsing. Trooper White testified that he has been in the uniformed patrol division for 3 years and has made a large number of traffic stops in that time period. According to Trooper White, while it is common for stopped drivers to be nervous, he had only witnessed this extreme level of physiological excitement by a driver on one other occasion, in which the driver was found to have been smuggling crack cocaine.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
