Dallas Parks v. George Steinbrenner and New York Yankees, Inc

Case background

Dallas Parks an umpire of the American League baseball officiated a game between Toronto Blue Jays and N.Y Yankees. A press release was released by New York Yankees through its principal George Steinbrenner criticizing Park of his inability as an umpire. The press blamed Park to have misjudged the game and unfair decisions by throwing two of their players out of the game (Halsey & McLaughlin, 2012). Parks filed an action for insult against N.Y Yankees for defaming his ability of umpire. The defendants disagreed that the release was not actionable as per the constitution.

Case decision

The lower court, Bronx County, Supreme Court concurred that the statements were the expression of the opinion however; the complaint pleaded a cause of action of insult since there was no sufficient facts presented in support of the opinion. The defendants took a step of appeal to the New York Supreme Court claiming that the press release does not constitute an actionable constitutional statement and that it was purely an opinion (Halsey & McLaughlin, 2012). The N.Y Supreme Court justified it according to the meaning of the statement of pure opinion which is a statement backed up with facts and may not serve as the basis for an action. A statement of pure opinion is determined by the perception of an average person towards it. And for this case the reader would perceive it as an opinion. Thus the defendants won.

Title: Criminal procedure of a drug dealer Mr. Robinson Clark.

A man known as King, by the real name Robinson Clark was referred to as the best drug dealer, but the society knew him as the best business oriented man in the town since he owned many businesses and also was known for his donation to the needy people. He was always working alone and made lots of money, until some other groups of drug dealers tried to stop him since he was taking over the business in the town; due to that, it lead to murder which took place at his house, he was then caught in a robbery act by the police. (O'Connor,1997) By that attempt, it led to the revenge since the other drug dealer insulted him thus leading to killing almost all those who were in his place of the business. After doing so the other partners of the dealers joined him in the firm.  For those people that had been killed, it was planned to be tricked as an accident, so they were no trace of him as he walked free. It did not take long for the police to find out that he was dealing with drugs.

The investigation was carried out and one day the police got the king’s partner doing the business as usual. Fortunately they found few members whom they questioned about the matter. In that process police did not get much information on King since most of them did not mention him in the talk but only spoke of the business and its operation. The little information got by police concerning king was not enough to identify whom he was, therefore police went ahead to search for a concrete evidence concerning king’s dealings. They took a step of taking some video and pictures that provided a proof that King is dealing with drugs and by that he was arrested (Pauscley, 1987). After the arrest of king, he underwent a serious process of questioning and police got all the information about him including his business dealings, his business partners and his personal information. Police also recorded the suspect’s crime and informed him of why he was arrested. It started with the record search of the criminal background and this was to take quite a longer period so as to gather evident information. This was his first arraignment which did not require him to remain in jail but to continue with his normal activities as investigation was being carriod out about him secretly without his knowledge.

During that time when king was arrested, he asked for the lawyer who would be handling his case, even if it was a shock for people to know he was a drug dealer comparing him with his status in the society. The evidence the police had was proven to be a business meeting with other colleagues, but that did not stop the office from carrying further investigation concerning him (Livni, 2016). Some months later he was spotted with same people on the video and according to the research the police had on those people, it was that they were the top drug dealers in the town. This gave the police a chance to search his building, but they did not have anything suspicious.

Since they didn’t find anything they can use against him, the officers suggested to release one of the men they arrested and make a deal with him, this issue was taken to the officer in charge and he was to discuss it at the meeting and finally the Bureau agreed, the one to be released was to sign a contract to bring in king in exchange of his freedom.

One of the men from the group was chosen, his name is John Wing. He agreed to their terms but was supposed to have a handle in the case he intends to run away and a tracker of 2miles radius.  When king and another member came to know that there is a new dealer in the town of which John had attracted attention by stealing their drugs and selling them. This made the king furious because his business would go down and to avoid that he decided on two things which were either to recruit him or kill him. John was lucky for he was recruited; at first king did not trust him; he gave him a task to perform such that if he succeeded he would earn some trust from the other members. The task was to steal from the new source and bring to him. Luckily he realizes and finally joined them. (O'Connor,1997)

As the operation of the business went on, King realized that the government is following their movements and that led him to conclude that there should be one of the men spying on them. He decided to investigate the traitor among the members; he decided to plot evidence against one of the member and by doing so, the king killed that man. This was a shock to the others since no one expected King to kill one of his members. After that, the operation of the business continued as usual. That is when John was planning on how to have evidence on King, but King was always careful with his plans since he never lives a trace. They came up a big deal in the business which caused the King himself to attend the meeting that was taking place at a hotel (Pauscley, 1987). This was a big chance for John, he put a recording that captured everything in the interaction. When they specified the delivery, John informed the police about it. The delivery was to happen using a van, the police followed that van and arrested the driver. The van contained heroine as one of the drugs and through further investigation police found out that the van was registered by one of the King business. According to the report by the driver, it revealed that King was responsible of ordering for the trailer and that is how finally King was caught and arrested according to Miranda Rights leading to John’s freedom.

In this arrest of King, he underwent a stage of arraignment where after reading his criminal charging, he asked his attorney Mr. George Matthew, the one who will support his case so as to start pleas. The attorney gathered all the necessary evidence for the case to avoid the sentence to jail. King’s case was forwarded to the court where the trial would be taking place and where he was then brought to his second arraignment. Under this arraignment, king was now expected to begin a plea. After this arraignment, the court organized for a pre-trial conference where the accused and the defendant were prepared for a trial. To go for a trial, the two parties were expected to get lawyers and they presented the names of their lawyers.

Through a grand jury, videos and picture were brought before the court to speak for king’s crime. The video and pictures brought to prosecute King were not enough for his sentence. Therefore king entered the stage of trials and during the first trial, his lawyer said it was a business meeting with the other board of members, and to those who were not available in the meeting, Mr. King decided to go and meet them, and the evidence was brought forward by his attorney, stating the other board of member’s signatures. That was not enough either for him to go free. Another trial was arranged to be two weeks from that time. (O'Connor,1997)

During the second trial the prosecutor had some prove that showed that King was the one who murdered the drug dealers. The witness stated that when those killings were happening he saw them since and he just came out a survivor. He said the whole story of how they wanted King to move away from business and thus planning to kill him and that was the time the killings happened in his house. His attorney pleaded not guilty of the charges hence defended him by asking for more prove since when the dead bodies were found, they were no trace of him. The King’s attorney accused that witness of being paid to testify against him. The second trial again ended without enough evidence for the King arrest.

The judge did not let go of the case since they were so many things going on that had no end, thus leading to the third trial which was to happen two weeks again after.  During that time, the King’s attorney asked the King if there was anything that can contradict the case but the king didn’t know of anything that can make it go wrong.

During the third trial the attorney against King brought forward evidence, which was from King’s former business partner. It was some recording that was used to threaten the King’s spouse from saying anything about the company he was operating. This was due to King’s partner who refused to join his business after he told him about it, and since he could not do anything about it he decided to keep calm deal with his business without King’s help in anything. (Livni, 2016)

That was concrete evidence against the King’s case, and they were nothing to oppose the evidence with. Evidence from another incident was brought forward; it consisted of a video clip from King’s house of which the killing took place. The video showed when the drug dealer entered the house with armed weapon and took the family of King as hostage. The King was demanded to stay away from the business or else the entire family would die.  To protect his family, King agreed to their demand. It was after this that King defended himself from those dealers but he killed all except the one who serviced and freighted away.

The judge asked if there was any other evidence to oppose or support the case, and one person from the back stood and said he would like to contribute to the case. He was called Gabriel age of twenties, with him, he had some video clips and pictures taken some months after the arrest of King.

They were brought forward to the judge, and he was allowed to speak, he started saying that “without people like King in the world people like me cannot survive especially with the current economy” by that he attracted the attention in the room, as he started narrating his story. He said he belonged to a group of street children where they only survive from the world. King once passed by where they used to live as he was on his way to the business and saw them with the rags of clothes. He came out of his car, greeted them and bought some food and clothes for them and also promised them a safe shelter and basic needs. Some of the members of his company were happy about that information but some thought it was just a bluff since many people including the politician had said the same thing, but no one had bought them anything until that time. A few months later he come again accompanied himself with a bus to carry them, and they were taken to that their new home which contained everything as they were promised. A few days later they were admitted to school, and some private trainer were hired for those like him older to lower classes.

He said that Mr. Robinson may or may not be dealing with drug dealers but for what he has shared with the people in need, many rich people usually don’t think about them the needy people even those with their fullest wealth. (Pauscley,1987)

Mr. King saved them from the life they have and gave them a bright one full of hope. He continued and said without him they will just go back to their other life full of suffering. He requested the clips to be played for people in the court to see he was not lying. The clips and the pictures indicated it was true; they had taken pictures from where they first lived and their new home even indicating the location of the place, and the video showing the celebration of opening the new house and celebrating the happy birthdays which they dedicated as one day for all of them.

It had reached where the board court has to decide on the matter brought forward.  The judge had to take a break and continue from later. During the break, the board of the court sat to discuss the matter and finally made the conclusion about the case. (O'Connor,1997) They oversaw the struggle those children would face without the help they were gaining from Mr. Robinson, and since they did not have any other support apart from him, his sentence would be fair for the sake of those children.

The judge now had to finalize the case, and according to the evidence against Mr. King, he was accused a sentence to jail for twenty years, but due to the generosity that Mr. Robinson Clark gives to the society and a plea from the street children in general, his sentence was reduced to five years with a fine of one hundred thousand dollars, and the case ended with Mr. King taken to jail. (Pauscley,1987)

In conclusion, Mr.  Robinson Clark was analyzed as a good person besides the drug business which he was involved in. If it was not for the board court which decided to shorten his sentence because Gabriel’s story and his support for the needy people as the society know him he was to be given to jail sentence.

            What changes can be made to the bill of rights in the fifth the amendment?

            An amendment should be made in order to hold individuals accountable for capital or in an infamous crime. This will help in reducing the rate of corruption as those individual who are involved in capital losses walk free after losing the public money (Smith, 2008).  In addition those individuals that are thus involved in infamous crimes are thus not changed because the rimes are considered as minor yet they cause damages to the activities of the public. This would help in achieving equality since between those that are involved in infamous and famous crime will be charged equally.  This is crucial in transforming the lives of individuals changing the individual’s lives would help in ensuring that every individual is fully incorporated into the government which can be accomplished by amendments (Smith, 2008). These constitutional amendments would that ensure that individuals are protected from tyranny which arises because the individuals lack the proper law of changing actions.

            The amendment should also be made to ensure that the individuals wish to commit the same crime more than two times can thus be charged more than twice for that particular crime. This is because individuals will intentionally commit the same crime after the second punishment because they will not be expecting any charges (Smith, 2008). The amendment will therefore help in ensuring that the occurrence of the same crime is reduced. In addition this is an effective strategy of ensuring that the crime rate of a particular crime is dropped as those that have a habit of performing it will be transformed by the ruling.  This will also ease the management of the justice system as those that are found to commit the same crime twice will receive a higher prosecution than the intended one for the particular crime. This will help in saving a lot of finances that are set aside by the government in order to effectively manage the issues that are resulted by reoccurrences or higher rates of crimes (Smith, 2008). The change will therefore help those individual who repeat the same crime more than twice in understanding that the penalties are not made to punish but to reform them. This will also help in the provision of security and protection to the individuals because the constitution owes them the rights and by subjecting heavy penalties because of a crime reoccurrence this will help in protecting them (Smith, 2008).

            The Fifth Amendment also stated that no individuals are allowed to be her or his own witness. This should therefore be amended in order to allow individuals to provide their own testimonies in their individual cases in several instances when the evidence provided by the witnesses is inadequate (Smith, 2008). This will therefore help in solving those cases that depend on self as they may lack witnesses and those that may be available fail in delivering the necessary information.  This will help in achieving equality in the justice system as individuals will be free to exercise their rights without fail. The amendment is therefore crucial in exercising democracy in the state as individuals cannot exercise their rights freely without the mandatory of the constitution (Smith, 2008). The change of the amendment will reduce the pressures that are subjected to the justice system in deriving settlement in cases where there lacks adequate evidence.

            A change should also be made on the law that no private property is allowed to be transformed to public without the provision of compensation. The change should therefore indicate that compensation will not give the government the right of changing ownership of a private property without the court proceeding of the legal proceedings (Brezina, 2011). This will help in protecting individual owners of property. This is because compensation may be understated and this will thus affect the property owner since they cannot change the actions without the mandatory of the law. The change should therefore allow the parties to take part in legal activities which would thus help in determining the compensation that is favorable and whether additional payments should be made towards the transformation of ownership. This will help in protecting the individual’s right of ownership to property without fail. As individuals are entitled to own property and therefore these rights should be honored by allowing the property owner to bargain out the compensation if they feel that it is inadequate (Brezina, 2011).  This will therefore help in ensuring that individuals rights and freedom of ownership are not disrespected.

            The amendment should also be amended to ensure that individuals are deprived of the opportunity to own property or even to liberty under several circumstances (Brezina, 2011).  These circumstances may therefore include the case where an individual is involved in disobeying the public policy. This law can therefore withdraw the right to liberty of the individual in order to ensure that justice is paid to the public (Brezina, 2011).  This will therefore ensure that the immoral acts are reduced and those that are involved in public pr government scandals of corruption should also be denied the right to liberty. This is because the lack of liberty denial allows most individuals to walk free after committing unlawful acts to the public. This will therefore ensure that the wealth and the poor citizen’s rights are given a priority (Brezina, 2011). This change of the amendment should therefore ensure that there is no court preceding that is required in withdrawing the rights.  This is because as much as they are entitled to liberty their actions may have damages the liberty of those that are affected.

            These changes will therefore help in regulating individuals rights more openly without much complication as the changes will ease understanding (Brezina, 2011). In addition the changes will therefore help in providing clear definition of the utilized phrases in explaining the individual’s bills of right.  This will be influenced by the ability of the bill to influence the behaviors of individuals by enabling the capability of the involved bodies in devoting minimum time in solving the rising or the existing cases. This is because the fifth amendment is entailed with detailed information which can thus be simplified into simpler terms which will increase the understanding of individuals which will enable the individuals to exercise their rights freely without fail. This will provide a better constitution because the bill of rights consists of wider ranges of information that requires maximum time and   knowledge in enhancing understanding (Brezina, 2011). Therefore, with the current constitutional statement, only a few individuals fully understand what is contained. This would help in providing an open and a well-understood constitution that will, therefore, allow individuals to fully exercise their rights as they are well aware of what is required of them.

Criminal Liability and Criminal Responsibility

It is factual that in the field of criminal responsibility, a crime is defined by different elements that are used as a reference to determine the culpability of a suspect (Finnin, 2011). Citing from the criminal liability under the common design, there are two major liabilities that proof a criminal act. They include; the omission or the guilt act (colloquially identified as “actus reus”), and the culpable mind or the prohibited mental state (known as “mens rea”) (Finnin, 2011). Precisely, Mens Rea demands for perceptible evidence that proofs an intention on the part of the offender in a certain criminal act. It is worthwhile to state that most of the criminal offenses, though not all, demand for the coexistence of the two elements at the same time.  On the other hand, citing from criminal liability as an aider and abettor, there are several elements that are used to proof the culpability of the suspect. These elements include direct commission of an offense, induction or aid in a crime, perceptible intention, and action before the end of the crime (Finnin, 2011). These elements are intended to prove that the defendant was involved in a crime offense intentionally and deliberately with or without physical presence in the crime scene. Therefore, this shows that if an individual actively participated in a crime venture with a clear intent of the act, then he or she can be held culpable for the offense committed. In this case, it is noteworthy that the government may not need to have precise evidence on which defendant actually committed the crime and the defendant that acted as an aider and abettor (Finnin, 2011).

In most of the states, children at the age of seven (7) are regarded as incapable of criminal intent be it diminished or full criminal intent. In different states, the ages for capability in criminal intent range from eight (8) to ten (10) years of age. For the children within the specified age of crime capability up to the age of 18 years, they are judged in a juvenile jurisdiction system.  However, in certain cases, juvenile court cases can be transferred to the adult criminal justice system in the process called Judicial Waiver following some considerations.  For different states, there is a certain level of flexibility granted to the juvenile courts with regard to transferring their cases out of their juvenile system. Therefore, the major difference between imposing criminal liability upon a child under age seven (7) and child of 14 years is that in most states, 7 years old child cannot be subjected to criminal liability whereas a 14 years old can be culpable in both juvenile and adult criminal justice system for most of the states.

Citing from Adam Foss ideas, it is factual that there is another option that prosecutors ought to consider apart from sending the offenders to jail (Foss, 2016). This is contended on the grounds that defendants come to courts for help but it appears that the prosecutors do not give them any help. As a matter of fact, these prosecutors amplify the problem when they send crime offenders to jail. Therefore, Adam Foss infers that jurors ought to recognize that the contemporary justice system requires reforms as it appears to shift to the people of color and the poor (Foss, 2016). The most interesting part of Adam’s idea is that he has a good example of how the other option he proposes can work in changing the life of a criminal. He uses the example of Christopher who is now a successful man who could have been a criminal if sent to jail (Foss, 2016). Thus, I can assert that though the strategy cannot work for all the criminals, it is worthwhile for the prosecutors to consider other options prior to making a decision of sending an offender to jail.

AMENDMENT OF FAIR LABOR ACT.

            Amendment of statutory minimum wage and a maximum number of hours aims at eliminating undesirable economic effects it has on employees and the benefits employers will realize. Raising and establishing a minimum wage will apply to all employees and employers in all the states. This includes all organization no matter the size such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes and residential care amenities excluding charitable organization and churches (Fingerman, 2013).  This amendment of the Fair Labor Standard Act will be a federal law since it will affect all the states. This applies to both the public and private organization (Fingerman, 2013). The proposal to change this law is based on the fluctuating economy. Preliminary work controlled by the employer and the entire performance for the employees are included as working time under this act.

     To amend this act, overtime compensation and an extent of child labor is part of the coverage.  Overtime should be made one and a half times based on the regular rates of pay for any hour worked over 40 in the same week (Fingerman, 2013). Bearing in mind compensable work and its time, in general, is viewed from a different perspective since employees are engaged in activities that will benefit the employers regardless of the time the activities were performed (Fingerman, 2013). . This means that the proprietor has a responsibility to reward the employees for the time spent. Employees have to travel in and out of the workplace in order to offer their services to the employer. This movement should be catered for by the employer as traveling or transport allowance. A better proposal such as offering means of transport such as staff bus and fuelling vehicles to a class of manager to work-related issues should be incorporated. This will eliminate absenteeism or lateness at work. Amendment of this law is as a result of employers left employers to bear the expense of transport all by themselves (Fingerman, 2013).

    According to Belman & Wolfson (2014) increasing the minimum wage to 10.10 dollars per hour will play a great deal in assisting low earning employees meet their basic needs as well as motivating them to work harder and better. The previous law left the employers to decide how much to pay to their employees. This resulted in very low wages since the sole aim of employers is to maximize profits and minimize cost (Belman & Wolfson, 2014). The change in working hours is to tone the difference in hours between private and public organization. The private organization will demand longer hours as compared to those of public. By amending this law a uniformity in hours worked will be achieved. This will enhance employees’ efficiency and productivity at work since the hours will be reasonable. The amendment of this act is as a result of unfavorable working hours that was not considered in the previous law (Belman & Wolfson, 2014)..

    By amending of this law employees who were classified as low-level employees mostly the administrative support staff were classified as exempt employees but since the amendment, they were reclassified as nonexempt. (Belman & Wolfson, 2014). This will change and actual ground for exemption will be based on work done and not the title.  Workers with disability are also to be incorporated in the minimum wage. This is to enable equal chances to persons with disability so that they cannot be discriminated. Amending this act of minimum wage through the cooperation and adherence of employers will lead to better results (Belman & Wolfson, 2014).
