We’ve heard a lot of legal expertise tossed around lately. Let’s see how easily our resident legal scholars handle a first-year law school exam question.:<\/p>
Criminal Procedure quiz, essay portion:<\/p>
A man is accused of committing a crime in Minneapolis. The prosecuting attorney spends a year tainting the jury pool with pretrial publicity. Defendant moves for a change of venue citing his Constitutional right to a fair trial but the judge concludes the State’s actions have been so widespread, so pervasive, so completely corrupting, that the Defendant cannot get a fair trial anywhere in the state.<\/p>
The judge’s choices are:<\/p>
A. Hold the trial in Minneapolis since that’s where the alleged crime occurred, even as the mob outside the courthouse threatens to burn the city if the man isn’t convicted;<\/p>
B. Dismiss the charges on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct in violation of the Defendant’s Constitutional rights.<\/p>
If the judge chooses A, he opens the door for the State to violate future defendants’ Constitutional rights in a similar manner. If the judge chooses B, the mob burns down the city. What should the judge do? Explain your answer in 100 words or less giving citations to relevant statutory, case-law, and rule authority.<\/p>
You have one hour. Begin.<\/p>
