fundamental fairness doctrine

Id. Ronald Reagan's FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine which, since 1949, required media to present both sides' opinions in the rare event they weren't just reporting straight news. Although the Court assume[d] the existence of a constitutionally protectible property interest in . However, an instruction on the presumption of innocence need not be given in every case. The States strong interests in assuring the marketability of property within its borders and in providing a procedure for peaceful resolution of disputes about the possession of that property would also support jurisdiction, as would the likelihood that important records and witnesses will be found in the State.975 Thus, for true in rem actions, the old results are likely to still prevail. At the same time modern transportation and communication have made it much less burdensome for a party sued to defend himself in a State where he engages in economic activity. See World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 293 (1980)). Id. In Johnson v. California, 543 U.S. 499 (2005), however, the Court held that discriminatory prison regulations would continue to be evaluated under a strict scrutiny standard, which requires that regulations be narrowly tailored to further compelling governmental interests. Nor is a former owner who had not been in possession for five years after and fifteen years before said enactment thereby deprived of property without due process. denied, 457 U.S. 1106 (1982). The Fundamental Fairness Doctrine is commonly considered synonymous with Due Process. A more fundamental shift in the concept of property occurred with recognition of societys growing economic reliance on government benefits, employment, and contracts,801 and with the decline of the right-privilege principle. (2015). Plaintiffs had sustained personal injuries in Oklahoma in an accident involving an alleged defect in their automobile. Cf. But see Mitchell v. W.T. 1095 Similarly, an ordinance making it a criminal offense for three or more persons to assemble on a sidewalk and conduct themselves in a manner annoying to passers-by was found impermissibly vague and void on its face because it encroached on the freedom of assembly. [S]ome form of hearing is required before an individual is finally deprived of a property [or liberty] interest.759 This right is a basic aspect of the duty of government to follow a fair process of decision making when it acts to deprive a person of his possessions. 1328 422 U.S. 563 (1975). Where the conduct in question is at the margins of the meaning of an unclear statute, however, it will be struck down as applied. It may validly provide that one sued in a possessory action cannot bring an action to try title until after judgment is rendered and after he has paid that judgment.1019 A state may limit the defense in an action to evict tenants for nonpayment of rent to the issue of payment and leave the tenants to other remedial actions at law on a claim that the landlord had failed to maintain the premises.1020 A state may also provide that the doctrines of contributory negligence, assumption of risk, and fellow servant do not bar recovery in certain employment-related accidents. For several years government agents had sent the defendant mailings soliciting his views on pornography and child pornography, and urging him to obtain materials in order to fight censorship and stand up for individual rights. Justice Harlan concurred because he did not believe jury trials were constitutionally mandated in state courts. Here the Court reasoned that a trial may well afford the court insights into the nature of the crime and the character of the defendant that were not available following the initial guilty plea.1248, Corrective Process: Appeals and Other Remedies.An appeal from a judgment of conviction is not a matter of absolute right, independently of constitutional or statutory provisions allowing such appeal. See also Collins v. Johnston, 237 U.S. 502 (1915). In Bagley, the Court established a uniform test for materiality, choosing the most stringent requirement that evidence is material if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the outcome of the proceeding would have been different.1169 This materiality standard, found in contexts outside of Brady inquiries,1170 is applied not only to exculpatory material, but also to material that would be relevant to the impeachment of witnesses.1171 Thus, where inconsistent earlier statements by a witness to an abduction were not disclosed, the Court weighed the specific effect that impeachment of the witness would have had on establishing the required elements of the crime and of the punishment, finally concluding that there was no reasonable probability that the jury would have reached a different result.1172, The Supreme Court has also held that Brady suppression occurs when the government fails to turn over even evidence that is known only to police investigators and not to the prosecutor. . Id. Rep. 941, 950 (1840) (If some controlling disease was, in truth, the acting power within [the defendant] which he could not resist, then he will not be responsible). 7(c) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Under our decisions, a statutory presumption cannot be sustained if there be no rational connection between the fact proved and the ultimate fact presumed, if the inference of the one from the proof of the other is arbitrary because of lack of connection between the two in common experience., In Leary v. United States,1198 this due process test was stiffened to require that, for such a rational connection to exist, it must at least be said with substantial assurance that the presumed fact is more likely than not to ow from the proved fact on which it is made to depend. Thus, the Court voided a provision that permitted a jury to infer from a defendants possession of marijuana his knowledge of its illegal importation. at 350, 353 n.4, 355 (dissenting opinions). The poorly understood history of the Fairness Doctrine shows not only that reinstating it won't fix current political media crises, but also that it won't be the check on conservative media's. But, in Harris v. Balk,981 the facts of the case and the establishment of jurisdiction through quasi in rem proceedings raised the issue of fairness and territoriality. E.g., United States v. National Dairy Corp., 372 U.S. 29 (1963). The Supreme Court, in a 5-to-4 opinion written by Justice Kennedy, conclude[d] that there is a serious risk of actual biasbased on objective and reasonable perceptionswhen a person with a personal stake in a particular case had a significant and disproportionate inuence in placing the judge on the case by raising funds or directing the judges election campaign when the case was pending or imminent.775, Subsequently, in Williams v. Pennsylvania, the Court found that the right of due process was violated when a judge on the Pennsylvania Supreme Courtwho participated in case denying post-conviction relief to a prisoner convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to deathhad, in his former role as a district attorney, given approval to seek the death penalty in the prisoners case.776 Relying on Caperton, which the Court viewed as having set forth an objective standard that requires recusal when the likelihood of bias on the part of the judge is too high to be constitutionally tolerable,777 the Williams Court specifically held that there is an impermissible risk of actual bias when a judge had previously had a significant, personal involvement as a prosecutor in a critical decision regarding the defendants case.778 The Court based its holding, in part, on earlier cases which had found impermissible bias occurs when the same person serves as both accuser and adjudicator in a case, which the Court viewed as having happened in Williams.779 It also reasoned that authorizing another person to seek the death penalty represents significant personal involvement in a case,780 and took the view that the involvement of multiple actors in a case over many years only heightensrather than mitigatesthe need for objective rules preventing the operation of bias that otherwise might be obscured.781 As a remedy, the case was remanded for reevaluation by the reconstituted Pennsylvania Supreme Court, notwithstanding the fact that the judge in question did not cast the deciding vote, as the Williams Court viewed the judges participation in the multi-member panels deliberations as sufficient to taint the public legitimacy of the underlying proceedings and constitute reversible error.782, (4) Confrontation and Cross-Examination. Western & Southern Life Ins. What is fair in one set of circumstances may be an act of tyranny in others.1136 Conversely, as applied to a criminal trial, denial of due process is the failure to observe that fundamental fairness essential to the very concept of justice. The doctrine's demise. Due process of law requires that the proceedings shall be fair, but fairness is a relative, not an absolute concept. 1. they are the highest form of law 2. they express the will of the whole people 3. they always bind the gov. . Although the Court has now held that all assertions of state-court jurisdiction must be evaluated according to the [minimum contacts] standards set forth in International Shoe Co. v. Washington,974 it does not appear that this will appreciably change the result for in rem jurisdiction over property. 1172 Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 263, 296 (1999); see also Turner v. United States, 582 U.S. ___, No. An estimate of the inconveniences which would result to the corporation from a trial away from its home or principal place of business is relevant in this connection.938 As to the scope of application to be accorded this fair play and substantial justice doctrine, the Court concluded that so far as . 442 U.S. at 168. In Nelson v. Colorado, the Supreme Court held that the Mathews test controls when evaluating state procedures governing the continuing deprivation of property after a criminal conviction has been reversed or vacated, with no prospect of reprosecution. 3500. Concurrently with the virtual demise of the right-privilege distinction, there arose the entitlement doctrine, under which the Court erected a barrier of proceduralbut not substantiveprotections809 against erroneous governmental deprivation of something it had within its discretion bestowed. Nor could the company found its claim of denial of due process upon the fact that it lost this opportunity for a hearing by inadvertently pursuing the wrong procedure in the state courts.857 On the other hand, where a state appellate court reversed a trial court and entered a final judgment for the defendant, a plaintiff who had never had an opportunity to introduce evidence in rebuttal to certain testimony which the trial court deemed immaterial but which the appellate court considered material was held to have been deprived of his rights without due process of law.858, What Process Is Due.The requirements of due process, as has been noted, depend upon the nature of the interest at stake, while the form of due process required is determined by the weight of that interest balanced against the opposing interests.859 The currently prevailing standard is that formulated in Mathews v. Eldridge,860 which concerned termination of Social Security benefits. 1028 Coffey v. Harlan County, 204 U.S. 659, 663, 665 (1907). at 21 (Justice Frankfurter concurring), 27 (dissenting opinion); Ross v. Moffitt, 417 U.S. 600 (1974). 1032 Pacific Mut. 1159 The Constitution does not require the government, prior to entering into a binding plea agreement with a criminal defendant, to disclose impeachment information relating to any informants or other witnesses against the defendant. at 584, 58687 (Justice Powell dissenting). The state can permit pleas of guilty in which the defendant reserves the right to raise constitutional questions on appeal, and federal habeas courts will honor that arrangement. 960 Daimler AG v. Bauman, 571 U.S. ___, No. 5. 871 Gilbert v. Homar, 520 U.S. 924 (1997) (no hearing required prior to suspension without pay of tenured police officer arrested and charged with a felony). See also Arnett v. Kennedy, 416 U.S. 134, 188 (1974) (Justice White concurring in part and dissenting in part). See also Cupp v. Naughten, 414 U.S. 141 (1973); Henderson v. Kibbe, 431 U.S. 145, 15455 (1973). In fact, the prosecutor had promised him consideration, but did nothing to correct the false testimony. (2011). And, in Greene v. Lindsey, 456 U.S. 444 (1982), the Court held that, in light of substantial evidence that notices posted on the doors of apartments in a housing project in an eviction proceeding were often torn down by children and others before tenants ever saw them, service by posting did not satisfy due process. 1930) (Hand, J., providing survey of cases). For Justice Harlans response, see id. Thus, combining functions within an agency, such as by allowing members of a State Medical Examining Board to both investigate and adjudicate a physicians suspension, may raise substantial concerns, but does not by itself establish a violation of due process.767 The Court has also held that the official or personal stake that school board members had in a decision to fire teachers who had engaged in a strike against the school system in violation of state law was not such so as to disqualify them.768 Sometimes, to ensure an impartial tribunal, the Due Process Clause requires a judge to recuse himself from a case. Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 388 (1989) (holding that a free citizens claim that law enforcement officials used excessive force . 1133 Neil v. Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 196201 (1972); Manson v. Brathwaite, 432 U.S. 98, 11417 (1977). 1138 273 U.S. 510, 520 (1927). Co. v. Sullivan, 526 U.S. 40 (1999) (no liberty interest in workers compensation claim where reasonableness and necessity of particular treatment had not yet been resolved). 910 Louisville & Nashville R.R. This principle, discussed previously in the First Amendment context,802 was pithily summarized by Justice Holmes in dismissing a suit by a policeman protesting being fired from his job: The petitioner may have a constitutional right to talk politics, but he has no constitutional right to be a policeman.803 Under this theory, a finding that a litigant had no vested property interest in government employment,804 or that some form of public assistance was only a privilege,805 meant that no procedural due process was required before depriving a person of that interest.806 The reasoning was that, if a government was under no obligation to provide something, it could choose to provide it subject to whatever conditions or procedures it found appropriate. 1 The importance of fairness to legal proceedings is found in the fact that the principles of fairness are reflected in a number of sections in the Charter (see Annex A). Id. 1120 Some of that difficulty may be alleviated through electronic and other surveillance, which is covered by the search and seizure provisions of the Fourth Amendment, or informers may be used, which also has constitutional implications. . 1989). Co., 269 U.S. 385 (1926). The meaning of that particular word is in no way clear in all cases. Arndt v. Griggs, 134 U.S. 316, 321 (1890); Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385 (1914); Pennington v. Fourth Natl Bank, 243 U.S. 269, 271 (1917). The Court acknowledged the potential for abuse but balanced this against such factors as the responsibility of parents for the care and nurture of their children and the legal presumption that parents usually act in behalf of their childrens welfare, the independent role of medical professionals in deciding to accept the children for admission, and the real possibility that the institution of an adversary proceeding would both deter parents from acting in good faith to institutionalize children needing such care and interfere with the ability of parents to assist with the care of institutionalized children.1335 Similarly, the same concerns, reected in the statutory obligation of the state to care for children in its custody, caused the Court to apply the same standards to involuntary commitment by the government.1336 Left to future resolution was the question of the due process requirements for postadmission review of the necessity for continued confinement.1337. Where a state seeks to escheat intangible corporate property such as uncollected debt, the Court found that the multiplicity of states with a possible interest made a contacts test unworkable. In any event, Benn could not have survived McGee v. International Life Ins. . See also Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67, 9496 (1972). 1110 In United States v. Beckles, the Supreme Court concluded that the federal sentencing guidelines do not fix the permissible range of sentences and, therefore, are not subject to a vagueness challenge under the Due Process Clause. A defendant should not be penalized for exercising a right to appeal. 1077 See analysis under the Bill of Rights, Fourteenth Amendment, supra. In the former case, the principal prosecution witness was defendants accomplice, and he testified that he had received no promise of consideration in return for his testimony. The standard for competency to stand trial is whether the defendant has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understandingand whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him. Dusky v. United States, 362 U.S. 402 (1960) (per curiam), cited with approval in Indiana v. Edwards, 128 S. Ct. 2379, 2383 (2008). In fairness to Kildare they battled to the end with Hogarty soldiering forward for a late point. Similarly, in Rippo v. Baker, the Supreme Court vacated the Nevada Supreme Courts denial of a convicted petitioners application for post-conviction relief based on the trial judges failure to recuse himself. Its principal interest was that, having once convicted a defendant, imprisoned him, and, at some risk, released him for rehabilitation purposes, it should be able to return the individual to imprisonment without the burden of a new adversary criminal trial if in fact he has failed to abide by the conditions of his parole. See also id. A Democrat . The Court, however, summarily rejected the argument that Mullaney means that the prosecution must negate an insanity defense,1185 and, later, in Patterson v. New York,1186 upheld a state statute that required a defendant asserting extreme emotional disturbance as an affirmative defense to murder1187 to prove such by a preponderance of the evidence. . See 357 U.S. at 256 (Justice Black dissenting), 262 (Justice Douglas dissenting). If the Court does so, it will not only crush the hopes of 43 million borrowers, keeping many in debt servitude, unable . /. 1206 Medina v.

The Problem of the Incompetent or Insane Defendant.It is a denial of due process to try or sentence a defendant who is insane or incompetent to stand trial.1204 When it becomes evident during the trial that a defendant is or has become insane or incompetent to stand trial, the court on its own initiative must conduct a hearing on the issue.1205 Although there is no constitutional requirement that the state assume the burden of proving a defendant competent, the state must provide the defendant with a chance to prove that he is incompetent to stand trial. Chandler v. Florida, 449 U.S. 560 (1981). The Courts first discussion of the issue was based on statutory grounds, see Sorrells v. United States, 287 U.S. 435, 44649 (1932), and that basis remains the choice of some Justices. This theory of notice was disavowed sooner than the theory of jurisdiction. See also Wearry v. Cain, 577 U.S. ___, No. 086 (2009). But see Dugan v. Ohio, 277 U.S. 61 (1928). v. Nye Schneider Fowler Co., 260 U.S. 35, 4344 (1922); Hartford Life Ins. According to the Court, the constitutional deficiency in Mullaney was that the statute made malice an element of the offense, permitted malice to be presumed upon proof of the other elements, and then required the defendant to prove the absence of malice. 747 Railroad Commn v.
