SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW Special Promotional Feature

WHAT FEDERAL JURORS SHOULD KNOW BUT AREN’T TOLD Service as a juror ensures that personal liberty is protected from government abuse. By returning a verdict of not guilty in a criminal case, jurors effectively veto police and prosecutors’ actions that wrongfully seek to punish a citizen. The right to have 12 jurors stand between the government and the citizen facing the loss of liberty was guaranteed by the Founding Fathers in the 6th Amendment of the Constitution.

By Mark L. Horwitz Criminal Defense Attorney Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, P.A. 17 East Pine St.Orlando, FL 32801 P: 407-843-7733 • F: 407-849-1321 mark@mlhorwitzlaw.com www.mlhorwitzlaw.com

Today’s jurors are not told about the factors that Federal Judges consider when sentencing a defendant. Jurors are also not told of minimum mandatory sentences which require the court to impose imprisonment for two years to life, depending on the crime.

Likewise, jurors are not told of the maximum sentence for each charge. Prison terms for 10, 15, or 20 years and longer are common in federal court. The jury is told by the Judge that they are not to consider the punishment when reaching their verdict, yet punishment is a realistic concern to the jurors and society.

Jurors are not told that in the early days of this republic, juries routinely returned not guilty verdicts because the punishment was too harsh or the law was improperly applied against the defendant.

Many people believe that early parole reduces sentences. Jurors are not told that parole no longer exists in the Federal system and that the defendants will serve 85% of the sentence even with exemplary behavior in prison.

Juries do not know that in determining a sentence, the court will consider crimes on which the jury returned not guilty verdicts.

For example, if the jury finds the defendant not guilty on four counts of mail fraud and guilty of one count, the sentence can vary from 0 to 20 years in prison. The court will consider the counts on which the defendant was found not guilty as if the defendant was found guilty on the charges. In many cases this will result in a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison rather than probation or a short term of incarceration.

22 PORTFOLIOFLORIDACOM

Juries are also not informed that if the defendant is found guilty of one count, the court, in sentencing, may consider conduct for which the defendant was not even charged and tried. The uncharged acts are never considered by the jury but can significantly increase the sentence.

Jurors are also told that they must accept the law given by the court. In the past, many juries returned not guilty verdicts because laws were unfair or applied to the defendant unfairly. One of the most famous examples of this was the prosecution of William Penn in England before he came to America and founded Pennsylvania. Penn was on trial for disturbing the piece for preaching his religion at an unlawful assembly. The court instructed the jury on the law and when the jury returned a verdict of not guilty the court refused to accept it. The judge told the jury to return a verdict of guilty. William Penn told the jury not to give in to the Judge. One of the jurors yelled “Nor will we ever do it” (return a guilty verdict). The jurors were kept in detention for four days and deprived of food; but finally, the Judge accepted the not guilty verdict. The Judge then imposed criminal fines on the jurors for returning the not guilty verdict. The jurors were put in jail until the fines were paid. Four jurors filed a suit to be released from jail. The result of that case was that no juror would again be prosecuted for returning a verdict that the court did not like.

In order for jurors to fulfill their constitutional role, many believe they should be told of the potential sentence and that juries have historically returned not guilty verdicts when they believed the law was not proper or was applied unfairly. Today, the court instructs the jury that they must accept the law. The jury’s power to veto government prosecutions with a not guilty verdict is an important cornerstone of our constitutional protections.

Special Promotional Feature

TO RETIRE OR NOT TO RETIRE WITH YOUR SPOUSE DENISE KOVACH, CFP®, AIF®, NSSA®

And since they will be adding to their retirement funds, not drawing down on them, this will allow for larger withdrawal amounts when they do finally make retirement a reality.

Also, Social Security benefits they are entitled to may increase because they are still paying their FICA taxes (but only if their earnings are part of their 35 highest years used to calculate their benefits).

If one spouse continues to work, they can keep health coverage provided through their employer. This would save you from having to pay for higher health insurance premiums at an individual rate for an extended period (medical expenses will be one of your biggest expenses in retirement).

Emotionally, losing one’s sense of identity through work can be a major adjustment, and when a working couple retires at the same time, they suddenly find themselves together much more. This can often disrupt established relational boundaries. It may be easier if only one spouse goes through this process at a time, which gives them some time alone to begin creating a new identity and hopefully avoid creating friction in the relationship. Relationship expert, Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, sums it up nicely: “People can have different mindsets and priorities when they retire, which don’t always coincide with their spouse’s.”

Photo by Brion Price

Dreaming of retirement and the day you can sail off into the wild blue yonder? Great! But, should you retire at the same time as your spouse? Giving careful thought about whether this is the best course of action will be in your best interest, both financially and emotionally.

In summary, staggering your retirement dates may be in your best interest in order to make the transition easier.

Thinking about it now, well in advance of your decision, only makes sense. Do I or don’t I… that is the question!

Financially, when one spouse works longer, the continued income gives them longer to save for retirement. For example, even working for an additional three years and contributing the maximum of $24,000 (age 50 and older) each year to the company 401k plan would increase their account value by over $76,000 based on a 6% growth rate for the three year period. That same $76,000 grown at 6% for another ten years would be valued at $136,104. This would provide $17,445 a year of additional income for ten years (again, using a 6% growth rate).
