In July 1965, Gerald Scarpelli pleaded guilty to the charge of armed robbery in the state of Wisconsin. As a result, Scarpelli was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment by a trial judge which later overturned the conviction. Scarpelli was placed on seven years-probation by the Wisconsin Department of Public Welfare. He acknowledged an agreement specifying the terms of his probation, which allowed him to reside in Illinois. This agreement was contracted on behalf of supervision and an interstate compact. On August 5, 1965, Scarpelli was granted probation by the Adult Probation Department of Cook County, Illinois. On August 6, 1975, he was apprehended by Illinois police who surprised him and Fred Kleckner, Jr., in the act of burglarizing a residence. …show more content…
This was a denial of his due process right as a United States citizen. In the case of a parolee, Morrissey versus Brewer confirmed that due process mandates preliminary and final revocation hearings. On September 4, 1965, Scarpelli was confined to the Wisconsin State Reformatory at Green Bay to begin serving the 15 years to which he had been sentenced by the trial judge. At no time was he afforded a hearing and counselor. On December 16, 1968, three years later, Scarpelli filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He concluded that revocation of probation without a hearing and without counsel was a denial of his due process right. After the petition had been filed, but before it had been acted upon, the Department placed Scarpelli on parole. The District Court found that his status as a parolee was sufficient custody to confer jurisdiction on the court and that the petition was not moot because the revocation carried collateral consequences, presumably including the restraints imposed by his parole. On the merits, the District Court held that revocation without a hearing and counsel was a denial of due
Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits anyone knowingly or willfully offering, paying or soliciting or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly; in cash or kind; in exchange for; patient referrals or furnishing or arranging a good or service for a Federal healthcare program including Medicare or Medicaid.

Renee Heikamp, 19, and case worker from the Catholic Children’s Aid Society (CCAS), Angie Martin, were charged with criminal negligence resulting in the 1997 death of newborn baby, Jordan Heikamp. The charges were dropped shortly after Jordan’s death, due to a lack of evidence from the investigation of a 63-day inquest. (CBC, 2001). Renee Heikamp and her baby were residing at the Anduhyaun shelter that services Aboriginal women fleeing abuse during the time of his death. Jordan Heikamp had starved to death, weighing only 4 pounds, 4 ounces less than what he weighed at his pre-mature birth, in May 1997; a photograph shown to witnesses at the inquest revealed the corpse of the baby who was little more than a skeleton.

In order to highlight all aspects of People v. Smith, 470 NW2d 70, Michigan Supreme Court (1991) we must first discuss the initial findings of the Michigan Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals decision was based on the precedence of two similar court cases that created discussion concerning the admission of juvenile records into adult trials. Following the Court of Appeals, the Michigan Supreme Court entered the final decision on Ricky Smith’s motion for resentencing. The Michigan Supreme Court also conducted a thorough examination of People v. Jones, People v. McFarlin, and People v. Price to determine the outcome of Smith’s motion to be resentenced.
The process of transferring juveniles to adult courts has shown no effects on decreasing recidivism or a deterrent outcome. Waiver as it is known has three means by which a juvenile can be transferred to an adult court. Judicial waiver offenses, statutory exclusions, and concurrent jurisdiction are the three methods in which a waiver can occur. This research will describe each one of these methods with detail. It will also provide statistical facts showing why waiver can be a very debatable topic within the juvenile criminal justice system. In its totality it will discuss the arguments for and against waiver.

In the case of Gagnon v. Scarpelli, Scarpelli was convicted of armed robbery. His sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation. While on probation, he was arrested during the course of a burglary. His probation was revoked without a hearing. He appealed, arguing among other things that his due process right was violated because he was not afforded his right to counsel during his revocation process. Scarpelli did no deny his involvement in the second crime but that he was compelled to commit the crime by another accomplice. It was after the second robbery that Scarpelli had his probation revoked and put back into prison without the benefit of a proper trial.
According to the highest law of the land, United States citizens are guaranteed two Gagnon hearings before any justifiable parole revocation can be enforced. Gagnon hearings are procedural due process rights authorized by the United States Constitution to protect the United States citizens. It is a legal protocol that protects the due process of certain unalienable rights of criminal defendants who have been granted probation. These rights cannot be revoked without due process and justifiable procedures. United States citizens on probation are entitled to the due process protection of certain basic rights. In 1973, the case of Gagnon versus Scarpelli paved the way for Gagnon hearings to be implemented. In this case, the state of Wisconsin revoked Scarpelli's probation without a legal
The book raises the importance of, and questions, the writ of habeas corpus. Carter used a writ of habeas corpus to get a federal trial. Many question the legality of Carter going into federal jurisdiction, when his case should have been heard before the Supreme Court of New Jersey. It was a gamble, but the federal judge gave fair justice to Carter and Artis. The State of New Jersey appealed the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld the District Court’s ruling.
Parole (early release from prison) is often referred to as the back door to the US corrections system. The concept of parole dates back to the establishment of the Elmira Reformatory. The goal of the Elmira Reformatory was to rehabilitate and reform the criminal instead of following the traditional method of silence, obedience, and labor. Parole was originally set up to encourage prisoners to do well, keep their noses clean, and become model prisoners. Once a prisoner had shown rehabilitation and reform they were released prior to the execution of their full sentence.
