Running head: DID SHE OR DIDN'T SHE? THE CASE OF DEBRA MILKE Did She or Didn't She? The Case of Debra Milke Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation 1 DID SHE OR DIDN'T SHE? THE CASE OF DEBRA MILKE 2 Did She or Didn't She? The Case of Debra Milke Introduction The assigned case delves into a lady who is known as Debra Jean Milke. Milke is a German American woman was sent to a prison in the state of Arizona for more than twenty-five years. Milke was sentences to death after being found guilty of killing of her four year old son together with two other people. The co-conspirators were her friend and roommate. The two failed to testify against her and stated that she was not present at the time when the shooting took place. Her friend Scott stated that she was the mastermind of the criminal offence whereas her roommate Styers stated that she had nothing to do with the murder of her son. However, the two implicated each other over the murder of the four year old. However, over time, there were many complications that arose and this further polarized the case due to the testimonies that had been given. This was largely due to the conduct of a Phoenix police detective who had stated that Milke had confessed to him. On the other hand, Milke was adamant that such a confession never took place meaning that the confession was uncorroborated. The police detective started to be faced by cases of perjury and statements were being given that Milke might have decided to waive her Mir ...

Fact Pattern with The Lucky Duck Paper

Purpose of Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate distinguishing case law from a given fact pattern.Course Competency: Distinguish case law from specific fact patterns.Instructions:For this assignment, you have to read three cases and explain how they can be distinguished from our fact pattern with the Lucky Duck in terms of the law and the facts. Think in terms of differences: look at each case and compare it to our fact pattern. Steps to Follow:First: remember our fact pattern:Steven owns a bar, The Lucky Duck. The Lucky Duck employs five bartenders, all of whom he has provided training on mixing drinks and general employment issues. It also employs a security person on weekends, when the patrons are a bit rowdier. The Lucky Duck has posted signs in the restroom giving patrons the phone number for local cab companies in the event they are too intoxicated to drink home.One Saturday night, Michael went to The Lucky Duck with a group of friends to celebrate his promotion. His group of friends was ordering rounds of shots from all the bartenders, and large beers all night, toasting to Michael’s recent success. As the night went on, the group became more intoxicated, and rowdier. At 1am, one of the bartenders, Melissa, told Michael that it was his “last round,” as he was staggering when he walked up to the bar. After finishing that beer, Michael had his friend go buy him another beer from a different bartender, Sally. Shortly after he finished his last drink, Michael decided that he was ready to head home. Security watched as Michael walked out towards the parking lot, muttering “what a drunk.”On his way home, Michael ran a stop sign and ran into Mindy, who was driving home from a late shift as a nurse at the local hospital. Mindy was severely injured with a concussion, fractured ribs, internal bleeding, a broken arm, and lacerations to her face and hands, and contusions where her seatbelt dug into her. Mindy was forced to take several months off work to recover, and her hospital bills were large.Mindy sought out an attorney, who told her that she should sue Michael. Michael however, lost his job after the accident, and was drowning in debt. Therefore, the attorney told Mindy that she should also sue The Lucky Duck for overserving Michael.Second: read the following cases:PLA2330_Module 4_Englund v. MN CA Partners.PDFPLA2330_Module 4_Koehnen v. Dufuor_ 590 N.W.2d 107.PDFPLA2330_Module 4_Kunza v. Pantze_ 527 N.W.2d 846.PDFThe cases are to be distinguished from our fact pattern. You should explain the ways in which the cases can be distinguished from our fact pattern in terms of the law and the facts.Format: your paper should be formatted as follows:Write the case name and give the proper Bluebook citation.Explain the main facts and the court's holding.Explain how the law is different in the cited case as compared to our fact pattern.Explain how the facts are different in the cited case as compared to fact pattern.NOTE: Each case is distinguishable from our fact pattern, but not always on both factual and legal grounds. Cases can be distinguished either way. If you find the law in one of the review cases does apply to our fact pattern, simply state so. In that event, the case facts will be the distinguishing grounds on which to focus.Do not follow the IRAC format from Mod 03. Instead, use the format noted above.

Strayer University Coward Behavior and Inhuman Criminal Justice Discussion

Review the scenario below and respond to the questions:You are a rookie police officer who responds to a call for officer assistance. Arriving at the scene, you see a ring of officers surrounding a suspect who is down on his knees. You do not know what happened before you arrived, but you see a sergeant use a taser on the suspect, and you see two or three officers step in and take turns hitting the suspect with their nightsticks about the head and shoulders. This goes on for several minutes as you stand in the back of the circle. No one says anything that that would indicate this is not appropriate behavior.What would you do? What would you say later when asked to testify that you observed the suspect make "threatening" gestures to the officers involved?

General Instructions for DiscussionCreate a new thread for each posting.Refer to course material using proper Bluebook in-text citations.Post responses here in public discussion forum.Please put the following in the subject line: Discussion + your nameAddress each classmate by name in your responses, and sign your name to each posting, please. Responses should be in depth, comprehensive, and promote further discussion beyond merely agreeing/disagreeing.Background: Chang has prepared an exercise for LCA’s monthly Research Education And Development (READ) professional development seminar for the firm’s paralegals. The research exercise centers on a hypothetical fact scenario. You and the other paralegals are to work in groups to complete the exercise prior to the seminar; your findings will be discussed at the seminar.Hypothetical Facts: After a child was severely bitten by a dog, an escaped pit bull terrier, the City Council wants to prohibit residents from having pet pit bulls within the city limits. The City Council needs information about the legality of banning specific breeds of dogs from the city.Part 1You’ve been asked to explore whether local governments can prohibit residents from keeping pit bull terriers in their homes. At this point, your research topic is very broad.Using Westlaw, conduct a natural language search in the specified secondary source to gather more information. If your first name begins with letters A – L, search in American Jurisprudence, 2d (Am. Jur.); if your first name begins with letters M – Z, search in American Law Reports (A.L.R.). To access Am. Jur./A.L.R., log in to Westlaw. The default view upon login should be the “Browse” page and “All Content” tab. From there, click on “Secondary Sources” and look under the heading, “By Type.” For Am. Jur., select "Jurisprudence & Encyclopedias" → American Jurisprudence 2d; for A.L.R., simply select "American Law Reports." Finally, enter your natural language search phrase or words in the search box near the top of the page.Review several results in Westlaw and then respond to these questions.1. What phrase or words did you use for your natural language search?dog regulations" and "pitbull "regulations"2. What were your search results like? Were they helpful?3. What was the most useful search result you reviewed? Explain what made that result especially useful. Choose one of the articles attached.For Am. Jur., identify the Topic (the words after “Am. Jur. 2d”), the section number (the numbers that appear after “§”) and the name of the article/section (the words that follow the section number).For A.L.R., identify the author and title of the most useful annotation.4. Based on your preliminary research, do you think local governments generally have the authority to ban residents from having pet pit bull terriers? Explain why or why not. Part 2 Review the Part 1 responses. Find one or more posts from classmates who searched in the source that you did not use for Part 1. Retrieve and review their most useful result(s) in Westlaw. Review it, then comment on these topics:Compare the classmate’s selected source and findings with yours from Part 1, noting similarities and differences; andShare your opinion: which type of secondary source (Am. Jur. 2d or A.L.R.) did you prefer and why?Review the Discussions FAQ for details of grading. Note: Making one substantive comment is a minimum requirement (equivalent to a "D" grade); more comments made on separate days are needed for a higher grade/maximum points. Comments include the first Part 2 post and follow up posts there and in other conversations with classmates and/or the professor.

Aviation Law: Liability

A pilot had always dreamed of flying the Alaska bush, but that dream had been sidetracked by the responsibilities to earn a living adequate to support a family. Now that the family had emptied the nest, the pilot was able to buy a brand-new short takeoff and landing (STOL) tailwheel bush plane from a local dealer, practice short and soft field landings, take a few months off work, load up the hunting, fishing, and camping gear and head out to fulfill that dream. While making a picture-perfect landing on a gravel bar in an Alaskan river, one of the airplane’s left main landing gear struts collapsed, causing the aircraft to be wrecked, and the pilot seriously injured. The gear collapse was caused by a metallurgical flaw in the strut, which had been manufactured by a subcontractor of the aircraft’s manufacturer. The flaw was present when the subcontractor delivered the part to the manufacturer.Who is potentially legally liable for the pilot’s injuries, and why? Could it make a difference if the pilot had bought the airplane a long time before the accident? Explain.Respond critically and analytically, but politely and professionally, to at least two of your classmates’ posts. At least one of your replies must be to a scenario other than the ones you chose to answer. Express your agreement or disagreement with their analyses and clearly state your reasons.
