In re John Z. and Post-Penetration Rape
I already started the paper, I just need help revising it and finishing the second part of the paper about John’s intent. I am attaching the case, plus an additional resource that talks about Post-Penetration Rape that I would like to include as a source. The professor is adamant that this is a legal analyis sand must discuss General intent, negligence, and strict liability.
APA formatted face page, in text citations and a reference pager is required for each of the written assignments. Use high quality resources to support your work. These include cases, law review articles and peer reviewed articles.
Answer the following questions concerning In re John Z. , 60 P.3d 183 (Cal. 2003):
[Target Response Length: 250300 words]: Assume, for the sake of argument, that Laura had clearly withdrawn her consent to continuing the sex act. Would the technical requirements for the crime of rape be satisfied? The relevant provision of the California Penal Code defines rape as a sexual intercourse accomplished against a person’s will by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the person or another. Is it clear that John used force or that Laura was forcibly compelled to continue? Explain.
[Target Response Length: 500750 words]: What was Johns intent in this case? The case law in California applicable to John Z. follows the majority approach that rape is a general intent crime that can be defended against by a reasonable and good faith belief, supported by substantial evidence, that the victim voluntarily consented to intercourse. Although this suggests that the mens rea for the crime of rape in California is negligence, does it appear to you that the court may have actually applied a strict liability standard? Explain your reasoning.
This assignment is worth 10% of your grade.
Note: The target response length for each question represents a guideline to help you frame your responses. They are not hard and fast minimum or maximum word counts because the quality of your responses matters more than the quantity. Thus, use these targets with the understanding that you may submit shorter or longer responses to any question, so long as you completely and thoughtfully respond to the questions posed in a manner that demonstrates your full understanding and analysis of the relevant issues without being verbose or rambling.
Official Misconduct
Official Misconduct
Prologue:
Today at noon, an undercover, Federal Agent, Hans Cuff arranged a briefing at the sheriffs department. All the ATF agents, Grantham County Deputies, and University City Officers involved in the drug investigation regarding the large shipment of meth were present for this meeting.
Cuff informed the officers that the confidential informant, Mookie, called him this morning to fill him in on the details of the shipment of meth. Mookie told Cuff to be at 123 Elm Street, University City, at 3:00 p.m.; this is when and where the delivery of meth will take place. After the briefing, Cuff was fitted with a wire so the other officers could hear what was transpiring in the house. All the officers received their instructions on where to post around the house and down the street so as not to draw attention to themselves. At 2:45 p.m., Agent Cuff arrived at 123 Elm Street and knocked at the door.
Mookie answered the door and told Cuff to come inside; once Cuff stepped into the house, Mookie shut the door behind him. All of a sudden, Dreadford grabbed Cuffs right arm and another male who Cuff did not know grabbed his left arm. Mookie put a gun to the back of Cuffs head and told him to kneel.
Cuff slowly kneeled to the floor; he said, The same thing happened to me in Vegas (This was the safe phrase to alert the other officers that Cuff was in trouble). In no time at all, several officers kicked in the front and back doors, entered the house, and held all three suspects at gunpoint. The officers arrested Mookie, Dreadford, and the other male identified as Pedro Ramirez without incident. After reading the suspects Miranda warnings, both Dreadford and Ramirez asked for an attorney, so the officers booked these two into the county jail.
Mookie was the only one who agreed to talk but only if he could get a deal. Detective Stubblefield said he would speak to the county prosecutor and see what he could do. However, the deal was dependent on the value of the information. Mookie told Detective Stubblefield that the dispatcher dating Dreadford is the one who gave them all the confidential information on the city and countys drug investigations. Mookie asked Detective Stubblefield if the information was good enough to get a deal.
Detective Stubblefield said, I believe it is. Detective Stubblefield put Mookie into protective custody and booked him in the county jail where the correctional officers will make sure to segregate Mookie from other inmates.
Based on the information Mookie provided, Stubblefield received a warrant to search Badpennys house. When the officers served the warrant, and arrested and charged Imogene Badpenny with possession of methamphetamines (felony), possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor), and official misconduct (misdemeanor) (using her position at the sheriffs office to access confidential information for personal gain). While at Badpennys house, the officers uncovered evidence to collaborate Mookies story about the documents Badpenny obtained for Dreadford regarding the drug investigations.
After Badpennys arrest, the sheriff fired her, and with the loss of her job, Badpenny did not have enough money to hire an attorney. During Badpennys arraignment, Judge Noble Hands had Badpenny fill out indigent paperwork to request a public defender and set her bond at $50,000. Badpenny was not able to post bond given her financial situation, so she returned to the jail where Badpenny will stay until her next court appearance.
Assignment:
This week use the information in chapters 8 and 9 to complete a 2 to 3 – page paper, discussing the ethical system that explains why Badpennys gave Dreadford confidential information, and how indigency affects an offenders ability to receive competent council. Also, analyze how conflicts of interest may occur with attorneys (both prosecution and defense) along with the judge in the above scenario.
*Hint: remember, Badpenny has worked for the sheriffs department for years and lives in the community; she probably knows all of the attorneys and judges.
Type all papers in Times New Roman 12pt font include the header, title page, and reference page; APA formatting is required in this course.
