CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Video Review Sessions #1, #2, and #3
In the first video, our dynamic duo takes on everything related to 4TH AMENDMENT searches and seizures, including privacy interests, property interests, warrants, warrant exceptions, traffic stops, the automobile exception, Terry stops, searches incident to arrest, consensual searches, canine searched, arrests, detention, the exclusionary rule (including the independent-source doctrine, the inevitable-discovery exception, the taint-attenuation exception, the good-faith exception, and the impeachment exception), fruit of the poisonous tree, and suppression motions.
In the second video, our team tackles the 5TH AMENDMENT and the concepts of double jeopardy and when jeopardy attaches, criminal charges, grand juries and indictments, and the right against self-incrimination. For self-incrimination, we walk through a 5th Amendment analysis for confessions, including determining whether the defendant made a voluntary confession, whether the defendant was subject to custodial interrogation, whether the defendant was actually in custody, and whether the officers violated the defendant’s Miranda rights. Find out all about a defendant’s Miranda rights, including the content of those rights, how a defendant waives those rights, and how a defendant properly invokes those rights.
In the third video, our duo reviews the 6TH and 8TH AMENDMENTS and tackles the right to counsel under the 6th Amendment, including discussions of when the right to counsel under the 6th Amendment attaches, waiver of the right to counsel, appointment of counsel, and the effective assistance of counsel. They also cover the Confrontation Clause – a key concept of the rules of evidence – through out-of-court statements, prior in-court testimony, cross-examination and impeachment of witnesses, and prosecutorial misconduct under Brady claims, rounding out the Video Review Series for CRIMINAL PROCEDURE with the right to a speedy trial, the right to a jury, the right against excessive bail, and the 8th Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishments.
