Subjects

Abstract

In June 2016, Michelle Carter was tried and convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a Massachusetts juvenile court for the death of her eighteen-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy III. Carter’s involvement in the suicidal death constituted discussions with Roy on how to carry out the act, contemporaneous text messages encouraging Roy to carry out the suicide attempt, and the failure to contact his family or authorities. This Note focuses on the legal effects of Carter’s involuntary manslaughter conviction. It highlights the First Amendment free speech implications that result from Carter’s words being construed as an “overt act” for the purpose of an involuntary manslaughter prosecution. Additionally, it examines and analyzes how the current state of Massachusetts’s criminal law allows for a conviction of a defendant such as Carter. Finally, it recommends that the Massachusetts legislature take steps in legislating “assisted suicide.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the context of the constant growth of the number of cars registered in Romania, allowing the vehicles to access public roads is a major risk for the drivers. The modernization process of the means of transport for the rural areas of the country is highly delayed, so a coexistence between the old means and the current means of transportation results often in serious accidents in which both vehicles and rolleys. In such cases, the issue of guilt rises, guilt which is oftentimes shared both by the automobile driver and the rolley driver. Mostly the drivers of the rolleys are victims, and under these conditions one might ask themselves if the Courts won't incline to establish de plano a common guilt, although the rules of evidence suggest an exclusive guilt on the victim's part.

Abstract

This study investigates the expressive side of the sentencing hearing in three trials dealing respectively with a charge of battery, of indecent assault and of manslaughter. The communication phases of the sentence have been associated with underlying functions of the judge's speech and with moments of moralization. The specificity of the case appears in the distancing from the defendant and in the moralizing style of the judges. We discuss the implication of this procedure for the administration of justice and for the defendant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
