Richard Poplawski, 24, shot and killed three Pittsburgh police officers who responded to a domestic dispute at his Stanton Heights home on the morning of April 4, 2009. Officers Eric G. Kelly, 41, Stephen J. Mayhle, 29, and Paul J. Sciullo II, 36, died in the shootout. The jury brought in from Dauphin County last week convicted Poplawski of 28 counts related to the shootings, including three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors have asked the jury to sentence Poplawski to death, and defense attorneys will argue that he deserves only life in prison without possibility of parole.
According to Markman, it must first be asked whether we are dealing with a cause of action that either was tried at law at the time of the founding or is at least analogous to one that was.\n289 The Revision Notes from the 1952 legislative history said that the phrase 'in exceptional cases' has been added as expressing the intention of the present statute as shown by the legislative history and as interpreted by the courts. In partial contrast, in a patent infringement jury trial, the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution, under governing Supreme Court authority, * requires the trial court to resolve claims construction issues; * would require submission of patent infringement issues to the jury; * would require submission to the jury of all defenses to infringement liability, includin...
Federal trial courts frequently misuse willful-blindness jury instructions. This note argues for the federal appellate courts to implement a consistent set of standards that would curb this misuse and help bring clarity to the willful-blindness doctrine.
For the past 2 1/2 months, two sets of juries have reported to Judge Audrey J.S. Carrion's downtown courtroom and sat through testimony, argument and objections aplenty in a megamillion-dollar case over carbon monoxide poisoning. One jury is what you'd expect: its eight members wear tan juror stickers, they get paid $15 per day, they sit in the jury box, and if they have to go to the bathroom during testimony, they write a note to the judge.
PHILADELPHIA - Women went to Dr. Kermit Gosnell to end their pregnancies. Many came away with life-threatening infections and punctured organs; some still had fetal parts inside them when they arrived at nearby hospitals in dire need of emergency care. Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which operates two hospitals within a mile of Gosnell's squalid abortion clinic in West Philadelphia, saw at least six of these patients - two of whom died. But they largely failed in their legal and ethical duties to report their peer's incompetence, according to a grand jury report.
In a case the plaintiffs' attorneys say exposes the human cost of managed care, a Baltimore jury has awarded more than $3.8 million to the family of a Catonsville electronics technician after finding his doctor's negligence contributed to his death of breast cancer at age 54. Though trial in Baltimore City Circuit Court stretched over a week, the panel only deliberated about an hour before deciding Dr. Bernita C. Taylor was at fault, attorneys for David Dash's widow and daughters said Wednesday. The verdict, which will be reduced to less than $1.1 million due to the state cap on non-economic damages, was assessed against St. Agnes Healthcare Inc., the only remaining defendant at trial.

By Steve Fry The Capital-Journal Trevejon Maurice Killings' legs went weak after a Shawnee County District Court jury found him guilty Thursday of intentional first- degree murder in the death of Antonio Jackson, 24, also known as "Ghost.
Say Marin Clean Energy proponents, rather than act as a cautionary tale about energy markets and public power, the San Joaquin story actually is a cautionary tale about the tactics PG&E has been using to block public power plans. After the state law passed in 2002 that allows cities and counties to form their own public power agencies, the San Joaquin agency, which comprises 12 jurisdictions in the Central Valley, was out in front of the pack. "San Joaquin started the request for proposals process in November of 2007," says Dawn Weisz, a Marin County sustainability planner and interim director of the Marin Energy Authority, "and they had locked in a deal with one supplier in January 2008." But before it could start to provide power, PG&E pressured the agency to sign an agreement...
