    Finding video surveillance unreasonable

    The right to counsel includes the right to confidential attorney-client communications. Adams v. Carlson, 488 F.2d 619, 631 (7th Cir. 1973); Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122, 126 (5th Cir.), cert. denied 353 U.S. 915 (1957). The right to private and confidential communications is not absolute, however, and is subject to reasonable regulation.

  2. Stovall v. Sikes

    Case No. CV412-204 (S.D. Ga. Apr. 16, 2014)

    One facet of the Sixth Amendment protection is the right of a defendant to have private and confidential communications with his attorney: "The prosecution is not entitled to have a representative present at a conference between an accused and his counsel to overhear their conversation." Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122, 126 (5th Cir. 1957). And "[t]he aid of counsel in consultation, investigation and preparation for trial in a criminal case is as necessary as the presence and participation of counsel at the trial itself."

  3. United States v. D'Angelo

    598 F.2d 1002 (5th Cir. 1979)   Cited 54 times
    Denying an "attempt to expose the jury's collective mental process to judicial scrutiny" after a verdict by consideration of a jury note and stating that such attacks have "always been forbidden"

    Such cases usually involve a verdict accompanied by a jury request for leniency. See e. g., Cook v. United States, 379 F.2d 966 (5th Cir. 1967); Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122 (5th Cir. 1957); United States v. Lee, 532 F.2d 911 (3rd Cir. 1976); Thlinket Packing Co. v. United States, 236 F. 109 (9th Cir. 1916). Such a request is normally regarded as surplusage. 8A Moore's Federal Practice ยถ 31.02[3].

  4. Parsons v. U.S.

    Case No. 4:07CV01447 ERW (E.D. Mo. May. 19, 2008)

    Petitioner cites to the case of Krull v. United States, to support his contention that the government was required to prove that the location where the crime was committed was within the jurisdiction of this Court. 240 F.2d 122 (5th Cir. 1957). This requires only a brief response, as the facts of Krull are significantly different from Petitioner's case. Specifically, Krull involved a charge and conviction for rape, which is made a federal offense only if the rape occurs within the "special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States."

  5. State v. Intogna

    419 P.2d 59 (Ariz. 1966)   Cited 38 times
    Questioning a defendant with a drawn gun within three feet of him constitutes custody

    In Arizona the jury is without statutory authority to consider the sentence or punishment in a verdict of second degree murder. In Krull v. United States, 5 Cir., 240 F.2d 122, the court said: "* * * If the jury, without statutory authority, makes a recommendation for clemency, it does not invalidate the verdict and may be disregarded by the court in imposing sentence. * * *" 240 F.2d at 133

    Holding that trial court's order prohibiting defendant from consulting with his attorney during an overnight trial recess violated the Sixth Amendment

    United States v. Leighton, 386 F.2d 822 (CA2 1967), on which the Court of Appeals relied, involved an embargo order preventing a defendant from consulting his attorney during a brief routine recess during the trial day, a matter we emphasize is not before us in this case. See United States v. Schrimsher, 493 F.2d 848 (CA5 1974); United States v. Crutcher, 405 F.2d 239 (CA2 1968), cert. denied, 394 U.S. 908 (1969); see also Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122 (CA5), cert. denied, 353 U.S. 915 (1957). Cf. Pendergraft v. State, 191 So.2d 830 (Miss. 1966).

  7. United States v. Hayes

    589 F.2d 811 (5th Cir. 1979)   Cited 112 times
    Upholding dual sovereignty doctrine in double jeopardy context and also briefly noting that collateral estoppel would not apply because the federal government was not a party to an earlier state prosecution

    We are unpersuaded that the area is so uncertain as to render counsel's advice ineffective. Although the maximum penalty to which an accessory after the fact is subject in cases where the principal is sentenceable to life imprisonment is not directly at issue here, we can speculate that since the death penalty is a more severe punishment than life imprisonment, see Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972); Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122, 134 (5th Cir. 1957), and since the maximum sentence of an accessory after the fact to a capital offense is ten years, the maximum penalty to which an accessory after the fact would be subject where the maximum sentence of the principal is life imprisonment would be no more than ten years.

    Affirming trial court's acceptance of verdict with appended note requesting leniency where the polled jurors, unlike in Cook, "indicated their agreement with the guilty verdict without equivocation or qualification whatsoever"

    In the usual case, the jury has no authority to recommend what sentence should be imposed, but it is not uncommon that a plea for mercy accompany the verdict. Generally, such a recommendation does not affect the validity of the verdict and may be disregarded as surplusage.Rogers v. United States, 422 U.S. 35, 95 S.Ct. 2091, 45 L.Ed.2d 1 (1975); United States v. Phillips, 426 F.2d 1069 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 400 U.S. 843, 91 S.Ct. 86, 27 L.Ed.2d 78 (1970); Krull v. United States, 240 F.2d 122 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 353 U.S. 915, 77 S.Ct. 764, 1 L.Ed.2d 668 (1957). See also 2 C. Wright, Federal Practice and Procedure ยง 512.

    Holding the uniform rule is that a government witness who does not wish to be interviewed by the defense may not be required to do so

    It is axiomatic that the prosecution must always prove territorial jurisdiction over a crime in order to sustain a conviction therefore. We held in Krull v. United States, 5 Cir. 1957, 240 F.2d 122, 127, a case involving a location (Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Parks, Georgia) allegedly under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, that one element of proof required of the prosecution is "to establish the situs where [the crime was] committed and show that such situs was within the jurisdiction of the United States." But the argument of the appellants fails to take into account the factor of judicial notice, which is a valid substitute for proof in connection with jurisdictional questions as well as other matters of evidence.
