In the Case of Missouri v. Seibert, a mother named Patrice Seibert was convicted of second degree murder. Patrice Seibert had a son named Jonathan who was twelve years old and had cerebral palsy. Jonathan Seibert suddenly died in his sleep, and his mother thought that she would be held responsible for his sudden death. Ms. Seibert then devised a plan with her two older sons and their friends. She wanted to cover up the death of Jonathan, so she conspired with her sons and their friends to cover up the death by burning down their mobile home. Donald Rector was a mentally ill individual who stayed with the Seibert’s and later died as the home went up in flames. Several days later, Seibert was taken into the police station and questioned about the mysterious mobile home fire. While being interrogated, the officer waved Ms. Seibert’s Miranda rights. She was questioned for thirty to forty minutes before she was given a break. While being questioned, the officer hoped that Ms. Seibert would voluntarily confess to the crimes that had taken place. After her break, she was then questioned a second time. This time, the officer turned on a recorder and then read Ms. Seibert her Miranda Warnings, and the officer also obtained a signed waiver of rights from Seibert.

During our negotiation with D.G. Barnhouse (DGB), we intend to utilize an integrative bargaining strategy with management. Before coming to this conclusion, we weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a distributive approach, however, we eventually decided to take an integrative and predominantly interest based stance versus a position based stance in our negotiations after assessing internal and external environmental factors. In addition, we settled on this strategy because we ultimately believe that management and the union share at the very least, one fundamental common interest, which is the firm’s financial stability. That being said, even with our plans to use integrative bargaining, we still plan to negotiate assertively to achieve

Back when Apple first unveiled the iPad, consumers who purchased the iPad with cellular/3G data capabilities were required to purchase a contract with AT&T and register their accounts online using an AT&T website. The registration process assigned the customer’s email address as their user ID. AT&T, in an attempt to simplify the login process for return users, programmed the website to autofill the customer’s user ID (email address) based on a unique identifier programmed into the SIM card of the user’s new iPad. When the website detected this unique identifier, only associated with an iPad, it would populate the user ID field accordingly.

Former Oregon governor John Kitzhaber severed in the state house and senate before becoming governor in 1994. After serving two terms, he chose not to run again and decided to live a private life again. It was during this time that he met Cylvia Hayes, a consultant that specialized in renewable energy programs and other green initiatives. Ms. Hayes had developed contacts with local and state authorities and would work to steer contracts to companies she was aligned with. This is a common arrangement where the private and public sectors work on programs that benefit the common good.

The guarantee of the speedy trial is one of the fundamental liberties embodied in the Bill of Rights. The right has some limitations: it is activated only when the criminal prosecution has begun and applies only to those people who have been accused during the prosecution. There are only two cases known so far in which the Court held that the speedy trial right has been violated: Smith v. Hooey (1969) and Dickey v. Florida (1970). In these cases the States preferred criminal charges against people who were already confined in prisons of other jurisdictions as a

The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are most notable for their protection of the rights of suspected and accused individuals. All to often we forget it also covers the rights of those persons convicted of a crime. There are two positions when it comes the rights of convicted and imprisoned persons, which are rights-are-retained and rights-are-lost. In retrospect, they are both right because prisoners rights may not be granted rights nor shall rights be withheld that are not supported by law. Therefore, prisoners are given Conditional Rights because they are constrained by the legitimate needs of imprisonment. The Conditional Rights of inmates are communication and vision, religious freedom, access to the courts and legal assistance,

Laws and actions of law enforcement officials must honor the rights of all American citizens, including the right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. Regarding this Fourth Amendment right, for example, the doctrine of the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' holds that illegally obtained evidence must be excluded from trial (Fruit of the poisonous tree. 2012, University of Cornell Law School). This reflects the idea that it is better to let a guilty person go free versus putting the maximum amount of persons behind bars to ostensibly keep the state 'safe.'

Today our world is filled with criminals. These criminals commit their crimes, and then get caught by law enforcement agencies. They get detained, processed, and see a judge. “Guilty! I sentence you to prison for x amount of years”. After a judge says that phrase to an offender, at that very moment you end up having limited rights. After one is convicted of a crime/ offense, one’s constitutional rights are taken away. One of the most controversial amendments that aren’t applied to prisoners is the fourth Amendment of the U.S. constitution.The fourth amendment to the United States

The Court of Appeals reversed and filed a petition for certiorari. The Supreme Court held that: "(1) apprehension by use of deadly force is a seizure subject to the Fourth Amendment's reasonableness requirement; (2) deadly force may not be used unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a
