MIRANDA v. Arizona
The US Supreme Court decision that set forth objective standards for questioning by police after a defendant has been taken into custody is Miranda v. Arizona (1966). This landmark ruling established the Miranda rights, which require that suspects be informed of their right to remain silent, their right to an attorney, and that anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law. It also established that these rights must be clearly and explicitly conveyed to the suspect before any custodial interrogation takes place.
Objective questioning involves asking questions in a neutral, unbiased manner to gather information and understand a situation. The goal is to prompt clear and factual responses without influencing or leading the person being questioned. It helps in gathering accurate information and avoiding personal biases in decision-making.
Objective criteria refer to specific and measurable standards used to evaluate a situation or make a decision. These criteria are based on facts, data, and evidence rather than personal opinions or biases, allowing for a fair and consistent assessment. Utilizing objective criteria helps ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in decision-making processes.
The judge asked, "Has the jury reached a decision about the guilt or innocence of this defendant?"
In optimization models, the formula for the objective function cell directly references decision variables cells. In complicated cases there may be intermediate calculations, and the logical relation between objective function and decision variables be indirect.
It is called the "Miranda" Decision.
A defendant is not obligated to take the services of the public defender. If a defendant wishes to hire private counsel, he has that right, or if he wishes to defend himself, he has that right. If the defendant wishes to defend himself, the judge will inquire as to if the decision is knowing and voluntary, and if so, will allow the defendant to do so. It is a very important decision, and not one to be made lightly.
If you are even questioning your decision then you should end it.
To be objective and neutral in its decision making.
It is customary, and it is done out of respect to the jury and/or judge who renders the judgement.
An absolvitor is a decision or decree in law made by a court in favour of the defendant in a given action.
The plaintiff and the defendant make an agreement before the decision in made in court.
The jury may not look at the defendant they have convicted as a sign of respect for the seriousness of the decision they have made. It can also help maintain the emotional distance necessary for them to make an impartial decision based on the evidence presented during the trial.
