1.5 Essay Questions 1) In addition to the U.S. Constitution, what other sources assist in protecting our liberty and justice?

Level: Intermediate 3) Discuss why the due process perspective resembles a liberal political orientation and why crime control is more of a conservative perspective.

Answer: Good answers should include a discussion of the competing concerns in criminal procedure of controlling crime and the guarantee of due process rights. Liberals tend to focus on liberty interests – individual liberty and rights – while conservatives tend to focus on crime control using a “cost/benefit perspective.” Due process believe it is the government’s job to maximize human freedom and that a suspect is innocent until proven guilty. Due process has four ideals: that the criminal justice system should look like an obstacle course, quality over quantity, insistence on formality, and faith in the courts. Crime control advocates believe that the benefit of controlling crime to society at large outweighs the cost of infringing on some individuals’ due process protections.

Crime controls also has four ideals: the criminal process should look like an assembly line, quantity over quality, insistence on informality, and faith in the police.

Answer: The Fourth Amendment was directly written in response to grievances early American colonists had toward the British Parliament. British officials needed no justification to obtain writs of assistance which permitted unlimited searches and no judicial supervision to limit searches. The Fourth Amendment was intended to restrict government intrusions into private lives of citizens.

Although initially only 54 words, this Amendment has been continuously interpreted and is impossible to have a final definitive understanding of the scope, reach, and language.

Page Ref: 62 Objective: Define search within the context of the Fourth Amendment.

Level: Intermediate 3) Explain the concept of a seizure in pursuit through the example of California v. Hodari D. (1991).

Answer: In California v. Hodari D. (1991) a police officer chased the suspect on foot. The officer did not have justification to stop or arrest the suspect. The suspect discarded an item during the chase and the officer picked it up. The item retrieved was admissible as the suspect was still in flight, however, the seizure didn’t occur until the police officer laid his hands on the suspect during the chase. Even if the suspect breaks free from the officer’s grasp, it is still considered a seizure. This is important because if the pursuit of a suspect is not a seizure, then the police may lawfully chase people without justification. If a person discards anything during the chase, the police may lawfully seize the item because the Fourth Amendment does not apply.

Answer: Good answers should define arrest and investigatory stops. The history of the arrest definition should be traced from the former definition of an arrest being simple restrictions on a person’s movement to the current definition of something beyond brief investigatory detentions. (“The Court [in Terry v. Ohio] distinguished between arrests that “eventuate in a trip to the stationhouse and prosecution for crime” and lesser intrusions that can occur “whenever a police officer accosts an individual and restrains his freedom to walk away,” p. 91.) To determine if an arrest has been made or a lesser type of intrusion, the courts will weigh 1. the duration of a stop and 2. the degree of the intrusion in assessing whether a stop evolved into an arrest.” A stop can turn into an arrest.

2) Identify and discuss the permissible level of force to effect an arrest.

Answer: Good answers will discuss the use of necessary force to gain suspect compliance during an arrest. The use of nondeadly force (Graham v. Connor) and deadly force (Tennessee v. Garner) should be thoroughly discussed. Students should identify know under what circumstances deadly force is allowed (when the crime in question is a felony and when such force “creates no substantial risk to innocent persons,” and the officer reasonably believes that there is a substantial risk that the fleeing felon will inflict harm on other people or police officers) and the general rules applying to the use of force (test of objective reasonableness to decide when excessive force is used. This requires focusing on what a reasonable police officer would do “without regard to [the officer’s] underlying intent or motivation”).

Page Ref: 98-99 Objective: Describe how search and arrest warrants are executed.

Level: Intermediate 3) What are the main statutes regulating electronic surveillance?

Answer: Answers should include discussion about Title III, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and Title III Warrants. These acts protect communications among private parties and restrict interception unless it is authorized by statute. These acts also address the storage and processing of this information. Obtaining warrants for electronic surveillance go beyond the requirements for obtaining a typical warrant.

Level: Intermediate 4.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) There is no bright line drawn identifying when a non-stop (voluntary questioning) becomes an investigatory detention. Should the police be required to notify persons that they are free to leave (or not) before any questioning?

Answer: Good answers will discuss the Terry v. Ohio case and its progeny. Currently there is no requirement that police tell persons whether they are free to leave or are being detained. Students should take a position and support it with sound argument and reasoning. For example, the basic premise of privacy and freedom guaranteed in the Fourth Amendment could support an argument that a bright-line notice rule be adopted requiring police to notify person under all circumstances whether they are free to leave. A discussion on the need for police to not only catch the guilty but exonerate the innocent could support the existing law.

Students should then take a position on whether the existing laws are too lenient, too strict, or strike the right balance on police actions. Answers

Together these rulings established that as long as a police officers had probable cause they could make warrantless arrests in public places.

Level: Intermediate 5.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) Concerning hot pursuit, has the Supreme Court decided in favor of police or in favor of suspects?

Why do you feel this way?

Answer: Good answers will address the basic rule and requirements of the hot pursuit exception.

Students should take a position on the question and defend it in light of several examples of the rationale behind the exception.

Level: Difficult 2) Is racial profiling a problem? Why? How should racial profiling be defined? Can it be measured?

Answer: Good answers will define racial profiling and discuss how difficult it is to discern. The various available legal remedies should be addressed, including an equal protection challenge and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Further, it is important to note that the Supreme Court has not directly addressed the issue. The support for the position taken is the critical component of this question.

Students should be familiar with the applicable terms and use them in support of a position.

Answer: A good answer should define the basic stop-and-frisk standards of reasonable suspicion and indicate that the independent reasonable suspicion is needed for both the stop and the frisk. A stop means the suspect is not free to leave. A frisk is a limited pat-down of the suspect’s outer clothing. A search is a more intrusive invasion of a person’s reasonable expectation of privacy that requires probable cause. Students should explain how justifiable frisks can lead to searches especially based on the plain touch doctrine.

Objective: Explain characteristics of a stop. Explain characteristics of frisk.

Level: Intermediate 3) Explain why drug courier profiling was developed and sanctioned under certain circumstances by the Court.

Answer: Drugs often enter the United States through airports. Without the ability to use courier profiling to initiate investigative detentions, officers would only have consensual encounters. Since probable cause is not required for a consent search, consent may be given or declined. Suspicionless searches are illegal. As a means to catch drug couriers, the Courts have allowed courier profiling.

While investigative detentions are also not considered searches and also fall outside the Fourth Amendment’s probable cause requirement, they involve the lesser reasonable suspicion. Hence, the legalization of courier profiling.

Page Ref: 160-163 Objective: Explain the relevance of drug courier profiling in the stop-and-frisk context.

Level: Intermediate 4) When are stationhouse detentions for the purpose of fingerprinting permissible?

Answer: 1. There is reasonable suspicion to believe the suspect committed a crime. 2. There is a reasonable belief that the fingerprints will inculpate or exculpate the suspect. 3. The procedure is carried out promptly.

Level: Intermediate 6.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) What is your opinion of the Supreme Court’s decision in Terry v. Ohio? Is the decision too restrictive or not restrictive enough?

Answer: Good answers should explain the Terry v. Ohio reasoning of allowing the police the leeway in detecting crime in appropriate circumstances, yet in a limited way. Then the issue becomes whether the Supreme Court has found the right balance. Students need to support their positions by distinguishing the Terry rules and explaining how the doctrine has been expanded. The focus should revolve around a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Level: Difficult 2) Should race be a factor in drug courier profiling? Is it already? Why or why not?

Answer: Good answers will define drug courier profiling and explain its origins and purposes and the Terry requirement of reasonable suspicion. The question of race has not been addressed by the Supreme Court, yet an argument can be made that if race is a profiling characteristic then more people of color than White people will be stopped. This can be addressed as an issue of people of color being disproportionately involved in narcotics trafficking or being selected for investigation on an inappropriate basis with a disparate impact on all people of color, not just those involved in drug trafficking.

Answer: The Fourth Amendment only applies to government action and private employers are not bound by the restrictions of the Fourth Amendment. Private employers can search private employees’ lockers, desks, and the like without infringing on any constitutional rights. The Court held that no warrant or probable cause is required to search a government’s employees’ office, but the search must be non-investigatory work-related intrusion or an investigatory search for evidence of suspected work-related employee misfeasance.

Level: Intermediate 2) Explain the concept of administrative justification and how it applies to vehicle and person inventories. Include relevant Supreme Court decisions in your answer.

Answer: Answers will discuss the basic noncriminal premise of administrative justification and the balancing act between weighing citizens’ privacy interests against the interest to ensure public safety.

On vehicle inventories answers should address that inventories are taken after the fact (arrest or seizure) for the purpose of developing a record of what items have been taken into custody, and recite the requirements for a valid inventory search. South Dakota v. Opperman is the seminal case for vehicles in general and Colorado v. Bertine is the case for containers within vehicles. For person inventories the justification includes protection of a suspect’s property, deterrence of false claims of theft against the police, security, and identification of the suspect. Illinois v. Lafayette is the leading case on person inventories.

Page Ref: 171-173 Objective: Describe regulatory and administrative searches and explain their justification.

Level: Intermediate 3) What is the totality of circumstances as it relates to voluntariness of consent searches?

Answer: Consent must be given voluntarily and not under duress or coercion. The totality of circumstance looks at the surrounding circumstances of consent — if it looks as if there was a show of force, if a person’s age, mental condition, or intellectual capacities inhibited understanding, and whether the person is or was in custody. Consent will be considered valid even if the consenting party wasn’t aware that they could refuse consent. Many departments have suspects complete a “consent to search” form.

Page Ref: 187 Objective: Describe consent searches and the issues associated with them.

Level: Intermediate 7.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) What test is used to determine the voluntariness of consent for the police to search an individual or a residence? Are all people from diverse backgrounds alike in their ability to understand their options and give true consent?

Answer: Consent can only be valid if given voluntarily, and cannot be the result of duress or coercion, express or implied. There is no bright-line test to determine if the consent was involuntary, but the Court has adopted the totality of circumstances test that requires looking at the surrounding circumstances of the consent. Things that are considered are the show of force, the person’s age, mental condition, and intellectual capacities of those offering consent. Additionally, not knowing that a person has the right to refuse a search does not render the search as invalid, but it is factored into the totality of the circumstances. The use of forms in securing a voluntary consent search is often used as a tool to prevent violations of the constitution.

are admissible. Students should incorporate United States v. Bayer and Michigan v. Tucker into their answers.

Page Ref: 215-217 Objective: Describe when unconstitutionally obtained confessions are admissible in court to prove guilt.

Level: Difficult 2) Explain the role of the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause regarding confessions.

Answer: Good answers should explain what makes certain confessions involuntary and discuss the holding of Fikes v. Alabama, which defined involuntary as under the “totality of circumstances that preceded the confessions,” where in the defendant is deprived of their “power of resistance.” Students should then explain that courts look at two issues: 1. the police conduct in question, and 2. the characteristics of the accused. Examples should be given of each.

Level: Basic 4) Summarize the deliberate elicitation findings in Massiah v. United States (1964) and Brewer v. Williams (1977).

Answer: Massiah established the rule that the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee to counsel in all “formal criminal proceedings” is violated when the government “deliberately elicits” incriminating responses from a person. Massiah made incriminating statements in the car of a friend who had allowed the government to install eavesdropping equipment. Williams, while being transported, replied to comments from an officer and effectively admitted to murder and provided directions on how to find the body. This statement came after Brewer’s attorney advised him not to talk and the police promised not to question the defendant during the trip. Although the police advised Williams not to answer them, the Court found that the officers deliberately and designedly set out to elicit information from Williams.

Answer: Answers should explain the due process and Sixth Amendment requirements of lineups and the ways to reduce suggestibility in them. Students should then explain that even though lineups are better at avoiding false identifications, showups are permissible in limited circumstances immediately following a crime and if there is a need or desire to have an immediate identification (or exoneration).

Level: Difficult

359 Copyright © 2024 Pearson Education, Inc.

2) What are some of the proposals to improve how photo arrays are used in investigations in an effort to reduce misidentification?

Answer: Answers should focus on the 1998 U.S. Attorney General’s report on “best practices” in photo identification and the recent efforts and suggestions of the Innocence Project. Four rules suggested by the Attorney General include: •

The person who conducts the lineup or photo spread should not be aware of which member of the lineup or photo spread is the suspect.

•

Eyewitnesses should be told explicitly that the person in question might not be in the lineup or photo spread and therefore should not feel that they must make an identification.

•

They should also be told that the person administering the lineup does not know which person is the suspect in the case.

•

The suspect should not stand out in the lineup or photo spread as being different from the distractors based on the eyewitness’s previous description of the culprit or based on other factors that would draw extra attention to the suspect.

A clear statement should be taken from the eyewitness at the time of the identification and prior to any feedback as to their confidence that the identified person is the actual culprit. Double blind techniques where the officer showing the photo array is unaware of the suspect identity is an important new recommendation.

Page Ref: 230-232 Objective: Explain the problem of witness misidentification and strategies for preventing it.

Level: Difficult 3) What are the common ways used to rehabilitate a witness?

Answer: If the credibility of a witness is attacked, the side that produced the witness can take steps to bolster the credibility. There are three common ways to rehabilitate a witness. The first is to argue that the witness was untruthful in the past but is now telling the truth. A second means is to argue that a contradictory or inconsistent statement was taken out of context. A third way is to bolster the credibility of the witness by introducing other evidence or statements made by the witness prior to the case that are in opposition of what was under scrutiny.

Page Ref: 238 Objective: Summarize identification techniques during the trial and issues involving witness credibility.

Level: Intermediate 4) Explain how “reliable” and “suggestiveness” are required to satisfy the due process clause for identification.

Answer: Reliability is determined in light of the facts and circumstances surrounding the case. They include the opportunity of the witness to view the defendant at the time of the crime, the witness’s degree of attention, the accuracy of the witness’s prior description of the defendant, the level of certainty demonstrated by the witness at the confrontation, and the length of time between the crime and the confrontation. Reliability is more important than suggestiveness.

360 Copyright © 2024 Pearson Education, Inc.

Suggestiveness involves the procedure in which the witness or victim picks the perpetrator out of a lineup, showup, or photographic array. If the process is set up to help or ensure the witness/victim picks the perpetrator, due process will have been violated.

Page Ref: 225 Objective: Summarize constitutional restrictions that govern the identification process.

Level: Basic 5) Why are in-court identifications viewed cautiously by courts?

Answer: In most situations the defendant is sitting in the courtroom not surrounded by anyone else matching their description (as in a lineup). Additionally, the suspect may be wearing prison coveralls, giving them the appearance of being guilty.

Page Ref: 239 Objective: Explain how the exclusionary rule operates in the identification context.

Level: Basic 9.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) How reliable are people in terms of identifying suspects in lineups, showups, and photo arrays? How would you feel going on trial on the basis of a single eyewitness who is a stranger to you with your liberty or life on the line?

Answer: Answers should discuss the pretrial identification techniques of lineups, showups, and photographic arrays, and the issues related to each. The focus here is really on steps that increase reliability and whether or not they were followed. Finally, students could talk about how pretrial identifications are used at trial and the suggestibility of the defendant being the suspect in light of their presence in court.

Page Ref: 227-235 Objective: Explain the problem of witness misidentification and strategies for preventing it.

Level: Difficult 2) Explain how the exclusionary rule is applied differently to identifications than other types of evidence and the relevant cases on the issue. Should there be a difference? Why or why not?

Answer: Good answers should discuss the means by which identifications will be excluded. Relevant cases should be cited and discussed. The student’s focus should be on misidentification and identification from illegal searches and seizures.

The courts often look at the nature and circumstance of the offense charged, the weight of the evidence, the ability to pay, flight risk, and dangerousness of the accused. Having a separate hearing allows for a more careful consideration of the appropriateness of the release.

In light of the government’s power to charge a person with a crime which could lead to the loss of property, liberty, or even life as a consequence, is it fair to make the defense discover anything to the prosecution?

Answer: Answers should describe the basic discovery rules that apply to the prosecution and the purpose behind discovery. Then students should identify and discuss the limited reciprocal obligations of the defense and the triggering circumstances of the defense obligation. Students should address the limitations on prosecution discovery designed to avoid compelling the defense from supplying inculpatory evidence. Positions on the second part of the question should be supported by the stated purposes of discovery.

Answer: Answers should focus on selective and vindictive prosecution. Selective prosecution issues include targeting individuals on the basis of being part of a group, aggressively pursuing conspicuous individuals, targeting the most significant offender in a group of offenders, and pretextual prosecution (charging a lesser crime because the more serious one is not warranted). Vindictive prosecution issues include charging motivated by revenge, increasing charges after a successful appeal, prosecutors increasing charges at the pretrial stage motivated by a desire to punish a defendant for doing something authorized by law.

Page Ref: 274-282 Objective: Describe the prosecutor’s role, prosecutor’s discretion, and the issues surrounding prosecutorial misconduct.

Level: Intermediate 2) Discuss the history of the right to appoint counsel in criminal prosecutions and when it applies.

Answer: Answers should address the Powell v. Alabama and Gideon cases and their holdings, and then how the right to appointed counsel was expanded to apply at the initiation of adversarial proceedings (Kirby v. Illinois). Incorporation of the Sixth Amendment to the states should also be addressed.

Answer: Almost every state makes the prosecutor the main legal advisor of the grand jury and requires them to be present during all grand jury sessions.

Page Ref: 283 Objective: Explain the purpose, function, and powers of a grand jury.

Level: Basic 11.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) Why do you suppose grand juries operate in some states and not others? Should grand juries be the charging mechanism of choice across the country? Why or why not?

Answer: Good answers should address the role of the grand jury in returning indictments and how they serve as a control mechanism over unfettered prosecutorial charging discretion. But the many procedural safeguards in states that allow prosecutors to charge by complaint serve the same purpose.

Further, given the amount of control prosecutors have over grand juries, it is arguable that there really isn’t much of a check on the prosecutor’s discretion. Students need to support their position in light of the stated purpose of grand jury indictments versus the reality.

Page Ref: 283-290 Objective: Explain the purpose, functions, and powers of a grand jury.

Level: Intermediate 2) Do you believe the right to effective assistance of counsel is a meaningful one, given all the interpretation it has received by the Supreme Court?

Answer: Good answers should address the basic right of counsel in both retained and indigent circumstances. Answers should then focus on the two-pronged test of ineffective assistance of counsel: performance and prejudice. Relevant cases–e.g., Gideon and Strickland v. Washington– should be addressed and used to support the position a student takes on the question.

Answer: Answers will include arguments in support: wide acceptance, prosecution and defense attorney benefits, defendants generally receive a lesser sentence and avoid the uncertainty of a trial outcome, and court benefits of prompt adjudications. Arguments against include: prosecution will overcharge to entice a plea, defense inefficiency is promoted in full litigation to better facilitate a bargain, most defendants would plead guilty even without plea bargaining, undermining of system’s integrity, deciding defendants’ guilt without a trial, criminals get lesser sentences than deserved, and innocent people are coerced into pleading guilty to avoid a harsher sentence.

Page Ref: 307-308 Objective: Explain the concept of plea bargaining.

Level: Intermediate 2) What are some prosecutorial inducements that are not permissible?

Answer: The Supreme Court held that “a prosecutor’s offer during plea bargaining of adverse or lenient treatment for some person other than the accused … might pose a greater danger of inducing a false guilty plea by skewing assessment of the risks a defendant might consider.” A second example is if a prosecutor flagrantly deceives the accused or fabricates evidence and/or starts rumors concerning the accused’s level of involvement in the offense.

Answer: A plea agreement may give the victim a measure of closure relatively quickly. On the other hand, they may feel the offender was not adequately “punished” for the offense in question.

Level: Basic 4) For the intelligence prong of a valid plea agreement, what are the three things the defendant must understand, and what cases are associated with the intelligence prong?

Answer: The defendant must understand the nature of the charge(s) of which they are accused, the possible sentence(s) associated with the charges, and the rights they waive if a guilty plea is entered.

Important cases include Henderson v. Morgan (1976), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, People v. Thomas (1968), Padilla v. Kentucky (2010), and Boykin v. Alabama (1969).

Level: Intermediate 5) Explain the difference between a guilty plea and a plea bargain, and what impact they have on withdrawing a plea.

Answer: A plea bargain often results in a guilty plea, but a defendant does not have to engage in bargaining to plea guilty. Either can be attempted to be withdrawn by the defendant. A guilty plea that is entered without a plea bargain is more appealable than one that is reached as the result of bargaining. In the latter instance, the accused often gives up important rights, such as the right to appeal.

Level: Intermediate 12.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) Define and explain ad hoc plea bargaining. How do you feel about this type of plea bargaining and why?

Answer: Answers will focus on the extraordinary concessions that defendants accept as part of prosecutor’s plea offers. Such concessions include special terms of probation, defendants agreeing to perform special acts (e.g., testifying in co-defendants’ trials), unauthorized punishments, state agreeing to an unauthorized benefit (e.g., sealing the record), and pleading to a crime unrelated to the charges offense. Students’ positions should be supported in light of the purposes of plea bargaining and whether ad hoc bargaining furthers those purposes.

Answer: Answers should discuss the existing rules regarding withdrawing or appealing a guilty plea.

Reasons to withdraw include “fair and just rule” in federal courts—involuntary pleas, prosecutorial breeches, and lack of evidence or newly discovered evidence. Reasons to appeal include appealing on an issue decided adversely in a pretrial motion (e.g., a motion to suppress evidence).

Answer: Answers should address the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a speedy trial, that it applies from the time of arrest or the filing of charges absent an arrest, that it applies only to current charges (as opposed to previously dismissed ones), and that failure to bring charges in a timely fashion violates due process. A four-part test is used to determine if a violation occurred: 1. length of delay, 2. reason for delay, 3. defendant’s assertion of the right, and 4. prejudice. Finally, the remedy for a violation is dismissal of the charges.

Pennsylvania (1971), the Court found that “a judge may not oversee a criminal contempt proceeding where the judge has previously served as grand juror in the same case.”

13.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) Can most judges be considered truly impartial? Why do you feel this way?

Answer: Answers should address the idea that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees the right to an impartial judge according to the Supreme Court. There can be no direct interest by the judge in the outcome of the case. An important point for discussion is that it is usually the judge who decides (upon challenge) whether they can be fair. The concepts of cause, peremptory challenge, and recusal should be addressed. Students should take a position and defend it in light of the above concepts.

Level: Difficult 2) Does the voir dire process result in representative juries?

Answer: Answers should identify and explain the various steps in the voir dire process.

14.5 Essay Questions 1) Describe the purposes of the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a public trial. When does it apply?

Answer: Answers will focus on the purpose of public trials for the defendant’s protection and a restraint on possible governmental abuse of power. When trials may be closed and dealing with media influence should be addressed. Finally, good answers will explain the available options of dealing with case notoriety or press coverage.

Page Ref: 356-359 Objective: Summarize the right to a public trial.

Level: Basic 2) Explain the guarantee against double jeopardy.

Answer: Answers should define double jeopardy and explain the circumstances in which it arises–reprosecution after acquittal, re-prosecution after conviction, and separately punished for the same conduct. Students should explain the Blockburger rule on the “separate offense” issue. Finally, students should also address when the right does not apply⎯new circumstances (e.g., the death of an assault victim), defense-caused mistrials, and court-initiated plea-bargained dismissal of charges over the prosecution’s objections.

Sherman v. United States (1958) applied the predisposition test and determined entrapment was “patently clear.” United States v. Russel (1973) also looked at predisposition and concluded that entrapment did not apply. Hampton v. United States (1976) again looked at the defendant’s predisposition, and concluded that is what matters in context of entrapment, and not the government’s conduct.

That hearsay is counter to the basic right of confrontation should be logically juxtaposed with the need for hearsay at times involving deceased or unavailable witnesses.

Level: Intermediate 2) What are the different types of noncapital prison sentences, and how is an appropriate sentence determined?

Answer: Good answers should focus on the four basic types of sentences: indeterminate, determinate, mandatory, and sentencing guidelines. Students need to define and explain each type. Regarding an appropriate sentence, students should point out that a sentencing judge will consider both the seriousness of the offense as well as the offender’s record.

Page Ref: 385 Objective: Explain how an appropriate sentence is determined.

Level: Difficult 3) Explain the process of a writ in regard to habeas corpus.

Answer: After a petition for habeas corpus is filed, the petition asks the court to issue a writ of habeas corpus. If the writ is issued the petitioner is brought before the court so the constitutionality of their confinement can be reviewed. The Supreme Court hears a limited number of cases each term, and it is unlikely that it will issue a writ. The defendant can petition the federal district court. Very strict rules and timelines are required in submitting a correct habeas corpus.

15.6 Critical Thinking Questions 1) What is your opinion of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA)? Note that it was passed following the Oklahoma City bombing and appears to be concerned with combating terrorism.

Answer: Good answers should focus on the purpose of the AEDPA, its new crimes and criminal procedures, and the limitations it put on federal habeas corpus for all cases. The act provided for mandatory victim restitution, eased deportation requirements, and set a low compensation rate for court-appointed attorneys and defense investigation fees. Regarding habeas corpus, it severely restricts habeas relief in death penalty cases and curbs multiple writ petitions. Students should take a position on whether the restrictions are appropriate or too big of an infringement on tradition criminal procedure and habeas protections.
