Es "gravemente culpable" quien no maneja un asunto con el cuidado que incluso las personas negligentes y poco prudentes suelen emplear. Hablamos de temeridad, ineptitud, indiferencia. Se trata de un descuido supino. A tal punto, que a veces cuesta diferenciarlo del comportamiento doloso o intencional. Si bien la teoría tripartita de la culpa ha sido objeto de fuertes críticas en otras jurisdicciones, es un hecho indesmentible que la misma fue consagrada...

Investigative journalist Lucie Morris-Marr was the first to break the story that Cardinal George Pell was being investigated by the police....

A provocative and timely exploration of how plea bargaining prevents true criminal justice reform and how we can fix it
When Americans think of the criminal justice system, the image that comes to mind is a trial-a standard courtroom scene with a defendant, attorneys, a judge, and most important, a jury. It's a fair assumption. The right to a trial by jury is enshrined in both the body of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It's supposed...

The Founding Fathers guaranteed trial by jury three times in the Constitution-more than any other right-since juries can serve as the final check on government's power to enforce unjust, immoral, or oppressive laws. But in America today, how independent can a jury be? How much power does a jury have to not only judge a defendant's actions, but the merits of the law? What happens when jurors decide in criminal trials not to enforce the law or not to...

Mandat d'arrêt, mandat d'arrêt européen, mandat d'arrêt international, notice rouge, extradition, autant de termes juridiques dont tout le monde a plus ou moins entendu parler sans savoir exactement ce qu'ils recouvrent. Ces expressions correspondent en réalité à des procédures pénales complexes qui ont tendance à effrayer les justiciables mais aussi les praticiens du droit, plus encore lorsqu'il s'agit de réagir dans l'urgence.

The number of women in United States prisons has increased dramatically since the 1980s, and has in proportion outpaced that of men's incarceration. Despite these numbers, incarcerated women, and women lifers specifically, represent a relatively small percentage of the overall correctional and lifer populations. As such, women lifers are easy to overlook, discount, and diminish as such a small group. Many women lifers perceive themselves as a forgotten...

Although difficult and painful, writing an impact statement is a critical opportunity to articulate the emotional aftermath of...
