28. Judge for Yourself Credit Card Proof
The police, investigating a double murder, were led by the
evidence to suspect a certain man. In trying to place him at
the scene of the crime, the police secured the man’s credit
card records. At the trial, the man asked that the credit
card records not be admitted as evidence because they
were obtained without permission and without a search
warrant. The state claimed that the right-to-privacy law did
not cover credit cards.
Did the court rule FOR or AGAINST the man?

29.  Verdict
The court ruled for the man and held that the state law was being questioned when it was really the federal law regarding illegal search and seizure that applied in this case

30. Aggravated Assault
an unlawful attack by one person upon another for purpose
of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury.
*usually accompanied by the use of a weapon

31. Assault and Murder are closely related crimes, but different:
1. Does not result in death
2. More assaults in the U.S. than murders
times more
4. only 57% of the victims of aggravated
assault reported the crime to the police
5. involve more strangers (54%)

35. Judge for Yourself
Self Defense
In Florida, a Vietnam war veteran went to visit his wife’s
employer to ask that the employer fire his wife because the
job was breaking up their marriage. The employer got so
agitated during the meeting that he called the husband a
“crazy war vet”, said he would “beat the hell out of (him)”,
and advanced toward him. The veteran, who was much
smaller than the employer, pulled out a gun and killed the
advancing man. He later claimed it was self-defense as he
believed he was in danger.
Did the court rule FOR or AGAINST the war vet?

36. Verdict
The court ruled For the veteran and held that the action was in self-defense because “he had reasonable grounds to fear great personal injury and there was imminent danger that it would be inflicted.”

37. the most common weapon used to commit murder in the U.S.
Guns:
the most common weapon used to commit murder in the U.S.
70% of all murders were committee with a firearm
55% with a hand gun
weapon of choice in all three major types of murder.

38. Many argue should be controlled by the state. NRA and others argue “no”

39. interesting info: 1. Firearm ownership varies by region
2. correlates with regional murder rates.
(The south has both the highest murder rate and the highest rate of firearm ownership. The northeast has the lowest murder rate and the lowest rate of firearm ownership.)
3. The chance of dying from a firearm wound is much higher than from assault with a knife, club, or fist.
(Assaults with firearms are 2 to 6 x’s more likely to result in death
than assaults with knives. Might also imply that people who are intent on bringing death to their victim choose firearms. Therefore, restricting firearm ownership would not lower murder rate.)
4. Easy availability of firearms, the more accidental deaths and injuries occur.

40. Does not mean that firearms cause murder

41. however,
households with firearms present are more likely, during a family argument, to experience a firearm death than are households without firearms.

42. In the U.S. 1.*at least 50% of all households posses a firearm
2.*about one household in four owns a handgun
3.*approx million firearms are in private hands
4.* at least one city (Kennesaw, Georgia) has an
ordinance requiring every household to have a firearm

43. Very little evidence shows firearm ownership deters crime
by assuming it does,
and then purchasing guns,
households actually become less,
rather than more safe and secure.
In victim-precipitated murder, the victim is the first to display and use and deadly weapon or to strike a blow and therefore, the first to commence the interplay of resort to physical violence.
One of every four murders, the victim precipitates the killing
