Keeping the System Honest by Recording Interrogations

2011-06-11

The Michigan House recently passed a bill that would require police to record all interrogations of serious felony cases, such as murder and armed robbery. Supporters of the bill say this requirement will make the system more honest and fair. Based on my personal experiences as a prosecutor and defense attorney, I agree. Some police departments already have implemented systems of routine recordings of interrogations. These departments have found that recordings have produced powerful evidence to use at trial. "A videotaped statement by the defendant is a critical ...

Airport Security May Be More Than a Nuisance

2011-06-11

The holidays are here and the number of people flying to visit friends and family are at their highest. As if the airports weren't going to be busy enough this holiday weekend, travelers will be faced with new security measures that many are uncertain about. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented the use of whole body imaging technology and enhanced pat downs at major airport security checkpoints. Last week, a lawsuit, filed by law firm Drinker Biddle and The Rutherford Institute, alleges these new security measures constitute an unreasonable ...

2011-06-11

Recently, a 29-year-old man from Iron Mountain, Michigan, was sentenced to nearly 20 years in a federal prison for possession of child pornography. Erik Michael Smith pled guilty to receipt of child pornography last June.

Senior District Judge R. Allan Edgar sentenced Smith to 235 months in prison, a $100 special assessment and, upon completion of his prison term, lifetime supervised ...

DUI Trial Could Determine the Fate of Breath Test Machine

2011-06-11

The contentious dispute over the reliability of the Intoxilyzer 8000 may decided soon. In the DUI trial of Felicia Birdwell, testimony will center around whether prosecutors may introduce breath test results into evidence without calling an expert to testify as to machine's reliability to accurately measure a driver's BAC level. If the court rules in favor of prosecutors, they could ask juries to presume a driver was legally drunk based on breath test results alone. This would be a powerful weapon in DUI cases. Without this authority, prosecutors would have a difficult ...

3-D movie shows, for the first time, what happens in the brain as it loses consciousness

2011-06-11

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: For the first time researchers have been able to watch what happens to the brain as it loses consciousness. Using sophisticated imaging equipment they have constructed a 3-D movie of the brain as it changes while an anaesthetic drug takes effect. Brian Pollard, Professor of Anaesthesia at The University of Manchester (UK), will tell the European Anaesthesiology Congress in Amsterdam that the real-time 3-D images seemed to show that losing consciousness involves a change in electrical activity deep within the brain, changing the activity of ...

Non-invasive ventilation as a weaning or rescue technique may cut risks in some patients

2011-06-11

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) used as a weaning technique for mechanically ventilated patients can shorten intubation time and may reduce the risk of post-extubation acute respiratory failure (ARF), according to French researchers. They also found that NIV used as a post-intubation rescue therapy could significantly reduce the risk of reintubation and death. "While NIV used as a weaning technique did not reduce the risk of reintubation as compared with conventional weaning and standard oxygen therapy, we do think the reduced risk of reintubation or death with NIV used ...

Quitlines help smokers quit regardless of recruitment method

2011-06-11

Proactive telephone counseling helps smokers quit regardless of how they are recruited to a telephone quitline, according to a study published online June 10th in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Smokers who use telephone counseling quitlines may do so in response to active recruitment methods, such as physician referral or direct mail or phone calls, or passive methods, such as posters or television ads. Whether quitlines are equally effective for actively recruited smokers and passively recruited smokers has been a key question. In this study, Flora ...

Venice to suffer fewer storm surges

2011-06-11

Venice – the City of Dreams – may have one less nightmare to deal with following a finding that the frequency of extreme storm surge events generated by Adriatic Sea tempests could fall by about 30 per cent by 2100. A team of international scientists led by CSIRO's Dr Alberto Troccoli studied atmospheric circulation in the Mediterranean region to assess climate impacts through changes in storm surge frequency in Venice – a World Heritage-listed city built on 117 small islands and considered vulnerable to high sea levels (locally known as Acqua Alta). Dr Troccoli said ...
