Keywords
Dual Jurisdiction
A legal concept where both state and federal authorities have the power to prosecute a crime. This often leads to \"turf wars\" between jurisdictions, as seen in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
McNaughton Rule
A legal test for insanity, which determines whether a defendant was aware of the nature and quality of their actions at the time of the crime. This rule is often used in cases where mental health is a factor.
Criminal Enterprise
A group of individuals who engage in criminal activity for profit. The federal government often uses RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) to prosecute criminal enterprises, as seen in the Diddy indictment.
Familial DNA
A forensic technique that uses DNA evidence to identify a suspect's relatives, which can then lead to the identification of the suspect. This technique was used in the Golden State Killer case and is now being used in the Brian Colbergor case.
Inevitable Discovery
A legal doctrine that allows evidence to be admitted even if it was obtained illegally, if the prosecution can prove that the evidence would have been discovered through legal means. This doctrine is often used in cases where DNA evidence is obtained through familial DNA testing.
Pro Se
A legal term that refers to a defendant who represents themselves in court without a lawyer. This is often a risky strategy, but some defendants, particularly those accused of serious crimes, choose to represent themselves.
Catching Kill Kit
A collection of items that a perpetrator uses to subdue and kill their victim. These items often include duct tape, zip ties, rope, and weapons. The presence of a catching kill kit is often a strong indicator of premeditation and intent to kill.
Trophy Case
A collection of items that a perpetrator takes from their victims as souvenirs. These items can include jewelry, clothing, or other personal belongings. Trophy cases are often used by serial killers to relive their crimes and to reinforce their sense of power.
Q&A
What are some of the legal challenges and potential outcomes in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump case?
The case involves dual jurisdiction, meaning both state and federal authorities have jurisdiction. The feds have brought gun charges, but the state may pursue attempted murder charges. The mental health of the suspect and potential accomplices are key factors in the investigation.
How does the Diddy indictment differ from previous legal cases against him?
The indictment includes charges under the Mann Act, which deals with sex trafficking, and RICO charges, which target criminal enterprises. The feds are likely to use witness cooperation to build their case against Diddy.
What are some of the key takeaways from the case of Rodney Alcala, the \"Dating Game Killer\"?
Alcala's case highlights the danger of charming serial killers who can blend into society. He was able to evade justice for decades due to a combination of his charisma and the failures of the criminal justice system.
How did Tara, one of John Meehan's victims, fight back against him and ultimately save her own life?
Tara, despite having no formal self-defense training, instinctively fought back against Meehan when he attacked her. Her actions, inspired by watching crime shows, prevented Meehan from carrying out his plan to kill her.
What are the latest developments in the Brian Colbergor case, and what are the potential legal arguments for both the prosecution and the defense?
The case has been moved from Moscow, Idaho to Boise, which is seen as a victory for the defense. The defense is also challenging the use of familial DNA evidence, arguing that it was obtained illegally. The prosecution, however, argues that the DNA evidence would have been inevitably discovered through other means.
