[So say Mayor Adams's distinguished defense attorneys in a letter to the district court filed earlier today. And they offer to say so under oath. ] I blogged this morning about the Justice Department's motion to dismiss the pending federal charges against Mayor Adams. In my post, I criticized those who argued that there was a "quid pro quo" for the dismissal motion. See, e.g., this VC post by David Post. I explained that the Department's motion to dismiss did not provide any… [read post]

Recently the country watched Michigan Judge Rosemarie Aquilina allow crime victims—dozens of them—to testify during the sentencing hearing of Olympics doctor, Larry Nassar. These victims spoke eloquently and emotionally about the terrible harm that Nassar had caused. After hearing from the victims, Judge Aquilina sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison, to be served after completion of an already-imposed 60-year prison term. The lengthy sentence appears to have broad public… [read post]

In 2004, the United States Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Scott Campbell, Stephanie Roper, Wendy Preston, Louarna Gillis, and Nila Lynn Crime Victims' Rights Act (the "CVRA"), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 3771—effective October 30, 2004. Today, twenty years later, it is interesting to read Senator Kyl's law review article about the CVRA, written shortly after the Act went into effect. Along with Steven Twist and Stephen Higgins, Senator… [read post]

[My new co-authored article reviews 168 victim impact statements from the Larry Nassar sentencing hearing and concludes that these statements show a victim voice at sentencing can improve justice.] Professor Edna Erez and I have a new article supporting victim impact statements. It is entitled "How Victim Impact Statements Promote Justice: Evidence from the Content of Statements Delivered in Larry Nasar's Sentencing." We will be presenting it at Marquette Law School later… [read post]

My co-authored amicus brief urges the Supreme Court to review the issue of whether Arizona can deny bail to accused sex offenders where "proof" of sexual assault "is evident or the presumption great."The Supreme Court will soon consider whether to grant a certiorari petition filed by Arizona, which involves a voter-approved amendment to the Arizona Constitution rendering a defendant categorically ineligible for bail if "the proof is evident or the presumption great"… [read post]

Today Judge Reed O'Connor rejected a proposed plea bargain between federal prosecutors and Boeing. The deal would have resolved Boeing's criminal liability for its crime of lying to the FAA about the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX—lies that led directly and proximately to two crashes killing 346 people. The victims' families objected to the deal, and Judge O'Connor agreed with them. He concluded the provisions in the proposed resolution concerning a corporate monitor of… [read post]
[Paul Cassell] Is Membership in a Conservation Organization Proof of Criminal Intent to Harm Cattle?
9 Jul 2018, 3:30 am
This afternoon I will present an important First Amendment issue to the Utah Court of Appeals about the extent to which membership in an organization can be used as proof of criminal intent. The question arises out of a criminal prosecution launched by San Juan County prosecutors against Rose Chilcoat and Mark Franklin, who were camping in southern Utah a little over a year ago. After Franklin closed a corral gate on state lands, prosecutors filed second-degree felony charges against him, alleging… [read post]

[The Justice Department's decision to seek dismissal of the pending charges seems like standard fare in plea bargaining and helps to support a top Administration policy. ] I've been following the debate between my co-bloggers David Post and Josh Blackman (and other commentators elsewhere) on the Mayor Eric Adams criminal case. Dedicated VC readers will have seen that David calls the Justice Department's decision to move to dismiss the charges an "outrageous" deal – and… [read post]

For the last several years, I have represented families who lost loved ones in the crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX aircraft (see earlier posts here, here, and here). The families want Boeing held fully accountable for the harms caused by its federal conspiracy crime of defrauding the FAA about the safety of the 737 MAX. Last Friday, I argued before Judge Reed O'Connor (N.D. Texas) that he should reject the proposed plea agreement negotiated between Boeing and the Justice Department. Among other… [read post]
