11 Chapteri • Our Criminal Courts If t.he act violates both state and federal law, the case may be tried in both. For example, if a police officer uses excessive force in the arrest of a suspect, the officer may be charged with assault and battery in state court as a violation of that state’s criminal code. ` The officer also may be tried in federal court if the officer's conduct also violates the federal civil rights of the suspect. I Federal courts may not decide issues originally tried in state courts unless there is a federal question involved, for example, the state criminal coun conviction infringed a right protected by the U.S. Constitution or a federal statute. For example, the police officer discussed above is tried in state court for assault and battery. During the trial, a statement made by the officer is used in evidence against her. After conviction, t.he officer files ` a writ in federal court alleging that the statement was taken in violation of her federal constitutional rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, Whether or not the statement was taken in violation of her federal constitutional rights is a federal question and may be decided by the federal courts. State courts are required to protect an individual’s federal rights and those rights guaranteed by the state constitution or state statutes. Accordingly, while state courts are responsible for protecting a person's federal civil rights, the court normally has no jurisdiction to try and punish a person for violations of U.S. criminal laws. lf exclusive federal jurisdiction exists or me offense is only a federal cri.me, then a state court has no jurisdiction. The state supreme court or court of criminal appeals is the highest court of appeal for state criminal cases that do not involve federal issues. The decision of a state supreme court that a particular practice violates the state constitution is not subject to review by the U.S. Supreme Court (Payton v. Mw York, 1980). In most states, death penalty cases are reviewed automatically by the state supreme court. The state supreme court generally has original jurisdiction (along with court of appeals and superior courts) in habeas corpus proceedings. ln other criminal cases, the state supreme court accepts only those cases decided by the court of appeals. Except in death penalty cases, an accused generally has no absolute right to have the state supreme court decide his or her appeal of a criminal conviction. The state supreme court may in most states, before a decision is entered, order a case transferred from a court of appeal to the state supreme court. The state supreme court generally also may review any decision of a court of appeals. State supreme courts generally do not have the jurisdiction to render advisory opinions (Younger rz. Superior Court 1978). Accordingly, there must be an actual case or controversy pending in the court before an opinion will be issued. For example, New LAW IN ACTION The coun of last resort tor citizens in Arizona is the Arizona Supreme Court. Following is a description of the court. it is very typical to most state courts One interesting fact regarding this coun is that the justices must retire at the age of 70 Contrast that with the history of the U.S. Supreme Court where many of the justices senze well into their 80s and even 90s Another interesting iact is the requirement that the justice have been a resident of Arizona for at least ‘l0 years priorto appointment While Arizona requires that thejustices to the state supreme court be attorneys, there is no similar requirement for membership on the UTS. Supreme Court although there has never been a non·Iawyer appointed to that court. The Arizona Supreme Court The Arizona Supreme Courts primaryjudicial duties under Article Vi, § 5 of the Arizona Constitution, are to review appeals and to provide rules of procedure for all the courts in Arizona it is the highest court in the state of Arizona and is often called the court of last resort.
1l Chapter 1 · Our Criminal Courts Jersey enacts a new statute making it unconstitutional for a citizen to move from one county in the state to another county in the same state. In most instances, the New jersey Supreme Court would not issue an opinion as to the validity of the statute until there is an actual case involving the statute before the court. Courts of appeals decide appeals from superior or district courts and have original jurisdiction in habeas corpus proceedings. In most cases, an accused has a right to have his or her appeal of a criminal conviction in superior or district ooutt decided by the court of appeals. Superior or district courts are considered as courts of general jurisdiction and have original jurisdiction in all cases except those given by statutes to other trial courts. Superior or district couns have jurisdiction to try misdemeanors not otherwise provided for and felonies (criminal offenses punishable by death or by imprisonment ln the state prison). Generally, a superior or district court has no jurisdiction over a case charging only a misdemeanor in a county with a county, municipal, or justice court, Superior or district courts in most cases have appellate jurisdiction in criminal cases that are tried in county, municipal. and justice courts. Municipal, county, and justice courts usually have jurisdiction in criminal matters as follows; 1. to hear and decide cases involving misdemeanors and infractions; 2. to conduct the following procedures in felony cases; a. arraignment, It. bail setting and reduction, c. accept pleas, and d. preliminary hearings; and 3. to issue search and arrest warrants. JUDICIAL DECISIONS Most state constitutions provide that no judgment shall be set aside, or new trial granted, in any cause, on the ground of misdirectlon of the jury, or of the improper admission or rejection of evidence, or for any error as to any matter of pleading, or for any error as to any matter of procedure, unless, after an examination of the entire cause, including the evidence, the court shall be of the opinion that the error complained of has resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

U.S. Supretna Coun on tho provlnm of the jury Georgia v, Bratisiord, 3 U S, 1, 4 (U S 1794) It may not be amiss, here, Gentlemen, to remind you of the good old rule, that on questions of lact, it is the province of the jury, on questions of law, it is the province oi the court to decide. But it must be observed that by the same law, which recognizes this reasonable distribution of jurisdiction, you have nevertheless a right to take upon yourselves tu judge of both, and to determine the law as well as the fact in controversy On this, and on every other occasion, however, we have no doubt, you will pay the respect, which is due to the opinion oi the court: For, as on the one hand, it is presumed, that juries are the best judges of facts; it is, on the other hand, presumable, that the court are the best judges of law.

16 Chapter 1 · Our Cmnt;-tal Courts credibility that [it] permits the jury to be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the People have proven their case. . . Crimes are defined by elements. The focus of a trial is to determine whether or not the prosecutlon can prove each of the elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. During the course of a trial, things happen. You hear testimony You can spend your deliberation time trying to resolve each and everything that you heard My suggestion is you try to resolve only the things that you need to resolve in order to make a determination whether the People have proven the elements of a charge beyond a reasonable doubt Ajury makes factual findings. The elements must be established beyond a reasonable doubt if they're going to be established at all. . . What your concern is: Did the People prove beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of a robbery; and, equally, if not more importantly the accuracy of the identification of Mr. Burvvell and Mr Brown as the person or persons involved in the crime. . With regard to identification cases, as this is, it’s the judges responsibility to focus the jury on the considerations that a jury should go through in deciding whether or not the People have proven an accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt I'll go through these things. But, with respect to the credibility factors and the identification considerations, you'|l see that an intelligent, functioning adult human being instinctively would think of or examine, assess virtually all these things, if not all these things, in trying to determine whether the People have met their burden. First of all, you’ve got to decide the credibility of li/lr. Degll-Adalberti, as well as any other witness. Because only by initially making factual decisions do you have a basis on which to draw your ultimate conclusions Vou've got to decide what facts you're working with. That means you’ve got to decide as the witnesses are conveying testimony here, is their testimony accurate and credible. So, with respect to whether the identification is truthful, that is not deliberately false, you must evaluate the believability of the witness who makes an identification. In doing so, you may consider the various factors for evaluating the believabillty of a witness' testimony that I listed for you a while ago with regard to whether the identification is accurate... These factors are common sense things that any intelligent person would assess in making the determination whether the defendant or defendants are correctly identified. You heard me say crimes are defined by elements. Essentially, there are three elements with regard to robbery. . . So, there are three elements, each of which must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Was there a theftT Ordinary meaning. Was there force used7 Force is any physical force beyond some incidental touching And, was there a person present vvho was present, ready willing and able to aid in the commission of the robbery, the theft. . . Those three elements have to be proven separately as to each person, li/lr. Burwell and Mr. Brown If the People prove the three elements as l've just described them beyond a reasonable doubt, each one of them, then you have no choice, you must convict the person If the People miss any one or more or all of the elements, miss proving that beyond a reasonable doubt, you have no choice, you have to acquit the person. . . Does the jury unanimously agree as to the charge against Mr. Bunxvell, as to the charge against Mr Brown? When you get into the jury room, conceivably, there would be disagreements among you Not surprising. The two most important civic functions that people do are to vote and to serve on juries. And for centuries elections have been closely decided. 50.i beats 49.9 every time, and then you're stuck with somebody for two, foun six or in the case of some judicial elections fourteen long years. And, yet, for 230 years now, juries, the same pool of people who can't agree on a candidate, have been unanimously deciding cases. So, how does that happen? It happens, obviously because within the jury deliberation context, people sometimes change their minds

Chapter 3 • Thejudicial Process 49 COURTS IN ACTION Wi-Fi for Jurors According to the Charlotte Observer, Mecklenburg County, N.C., is trying to make jury duty less of a chore. The juror assembly room in the downtown Charlotte courthouse has free wireless Internet, a business center, a day care center and even a place where mothers can pump breast milk. There's a 90-minute lunch break and two movies are offered. The courthouse provides free popcorn. Court officials recognize most people don't look forward to jury duty, so the amenities and services aim to make performing the public obligation more pleasant, officials said. Of course, there’s another incentive to performing your civic duty. Those who don't show up may have to explain their absence to a judge. The efforts seem to make a difference. The benchmark-setting National Center for State Courts says fewer than five percent of jurors should be no-shows. In Mecklenburg County, four percent of those called from motor vehicle and voter registration records never show up. [Cleve R. Wootson, lr "Comfort in the courthouse" Charlotte Observer, Monday, Aug.

Chapter 5 • Thejudicial Process 55 showing is made, adds to that burden. it seems apparent that there are times when to deny this privilege prior to trial might result in the hearing itself being delayed—at a considerable expense to the State—whi|e such an examination or tests are made, We believe justice dictates that the defendant be entitled to the benefit of any reasonable opportunity to prepare his defense and to prove his innocence. We are of the opinion that such a rule is in the interest ofjustice, and that it is left to the sound discretion ot a trial court when a proceeding is pending therein as to whether such inspection and examination should be allowed or not. (1965) that "the suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution.” The court noted that the governments obligation to disclose exculpatory information includes evidence that may be used to substantially impeach the credibility of a government witness. The court concluded that the touchstone of the governrnents disclosure obligations is tl1e *materiality“ of the information, that is, evidence for which there is a reasonable possibility that, had tl1e evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different. The court noted that the defendant in the instant case was seeking information relating to the reliability of the confidential informant (Cl) who provided information in connection with the search warrant. The court concluded that there was no question that in analyzing a warrants validity, a court may assess a source’s reliability or personal background. [The court then ruled that a motion for discovery was not the proper procedure to attach the sufficiency of a search warrant.] The court then held that the defendants request for reliability infomation conceming the CI who provided information in connection with the search warrant was denied, subject to renewal if the defendant submits evidence that the search wan·ant affidavit contained false information and that absent such evidence the court lacked probable cause for the warrant. Frosecuti¤n's Right of Pretrial Discovery Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure grants to the government (the prosecution) almost the identical rights of pretrial discovery that are granted to the defendant. More states in the future may follow the precedent set by the federal government in granting the right of pretrial discovery to the prosecution Most states that recognize the right to pretrial discovery have granted little pretrial right of discovery to the prosecution. This trend supports the contention that the right of pretrial discovery is a one-way street. The most convincing argument against allowing pretrial discovery by the prosecution is that the right would compel the defendant to be a witness against himself or herself. Many legal scholars are at a loss to understand how furnishing the names and addresses of witnesses or the defense to be used—such as an alibi or insanity defense—would be self-incrimination, but there are state courts that have prohibited the prosecution from exercising the right of pretrial discovery upon the sel.t'-incrimination claim. In addition to the self-incrimination allegation, the supreme court of one state has held that the prosecution must prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and that any discovery by the prosecution that would lessen that burden is not pemtissible. It is almost impossible to imagine any discovery that would not, in some respect, lessen the burden of the prosecution. This holding by that court has been highly criticized in legal circles as being too restrictive and without merit.

Chapter 4 · Federal Courts 73 COURTS IN ACTION Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 For three decades, individuals convicted of crack offenses faced far harsher penalties than defendants convicted of stmilar offenses involving cocaine powder. A person in possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine would face a five-year mandatory minimum sentence. Crack offenders would face the same penalty for a mere 5 grams. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 [Public Law No: 111-220] reduces the sen· tenclng disparity to 18 to 1, meaning that a person convicted of selling 28 grarns of crack would face the same five-year mandatory minimum as someone with 500 grams of cocaine. The law also eliminates mandatory minimum sentencing for simply possessing crack cocaine. The U.S. Sentencing Commission says that between 5.500 and 6,000 offenders are sentenced for crack offenses each year. The law will reduce by up to 27 months sentences for about 3,000 offenders each year. According to the Washington Post, for the past three decades most of those arrested for crack offenses were mostly young, African American men and they faced far harsher penalties than the white and Hispanic suspects most often caught with powder cocaine. A person found holding 500 grams of powder cocaine would face a five-year mandatory minimum; crack offenders would have to bein possession of a mere S grams to face the same obligatory sentence Crack offenders faced a 10-year mandatory minimum for carrying 10 grams of the drug; the same penalty would not kick in for a powder-cocaine suspect unless caught with 1,000 grams. ["Editorial: The Fair Sentencing Act corrects a long-time wrong in cocaine cases" Washington Post, August 3, 2010, p. A-18] Georgia.

Courtroom Work Group to an expert witness, generally, cannot testify to opinions, inferences, impressions, or conclusions. Conclusions are within the domain of the jury sitting as the fact finder in a criminal prosecution. An expert witness, on the other hand, may testify as to her opinion. There are several qualihcations to this general rule. First, the expert witness must be qualified as an expert by specialized knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education to the extent that her opinion would probably aid t.he jury to determine the facts. It is sufficient that the expert be qualified on only one of these grounds. This means that an expert witness need not be a formally educated scientist or physician, although some are, but may be a tradesman, such as a plumber or carpenter, or other professional, such as a policeman. What is LAW IN ACTION Eyewitness identifications Eyewitness identification is vital to the prosecution of many criminal cases. When the victim of a crime is called upon to testify about the identification of her attacken the iury takes special notice about the certainty and verification of the perpetrators identity The victim is asked· "Do you see the person who committed the crime in the courtroom?" When the answer is a point of the witnesss finger to the defendant seated at counsel table with the confident words, "lt is hirn," the evidence is difficult to rebut. Recent research, howevet has begun to question how accurate is visual memory. The CBS News Show "60 Minutes” reported on a 1984 case in which 22-year-old college student Jennifer Thompson was raped in her off campus apartment. She studied her attackers face the best that she could and identified the perpetrator three days later in a photo array and later in a physical lineup. At a trial, based upon Thompsons in-court identilication, Ronald Cotton was convicted and sentenced to prison. After 1 1 years, Cotton was released because his DNA did not match the DNA at the crime scene. It was a case of mistaken identity and an innocent man was convicted. Now Thompson and Cotton speak together at conferences as advocates for the reform of the eyewitness identification process To see more about this fascinating case. view the video and read the report, go to this link; www.cbsnews.corn/ stories/2009/03/06/60minutes/maln4B4BO39_page3.shtml?tag=coriter1tMain;contentBody Excerpts from Jones in State, 213 Ga. 213 (Ga. 2000) When a trial court concludes that an identification procedure is impermissibly suggestive, the issue becomes whether, considering the totality of the circumstances, there was a substantial likelihood of irreparable rnisidentificahonl If not, then both the pretrial and in-court identifications are admissible. Factors to be considered in determining whether there was a substantial likelihood of misidentification include: (1) the witnesss opportunity to view the accused at the time of the crime; (2) the witnesss degree of attention; (3) the accuracy of the witness's prior description of the accused; (4) the witness's level of certainty at the confrontation with the accused; and (5) the length of time between the crime and the confrontation. The ultimate question is, whether under the totality of the circumstances, the identification is reliable. The admission of expert testimony regarding eyewitness identification is in the discretion of the trial court. Where eyewitness identification of the defendant is a key element of the States case and there is no substantial corroboration of that identification by other evidence, trial courts may not exclude expert testimony without carefully weighing whether the evidence would assist the jury in assessing the reliability of eyewitness testimony and whether expert eyewitness testimony is the only effective way to reveal any weakness in an eyewitness identification. Howeven the admission or exclusion of this evidence lies within the sound discretion of the trial court, whose decision will not be disturbed on appeal absent a clear abuse of discretion.
