    Mayhem at the Marathon

    A jury convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of perpetuating the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and imposed the death sentence. Tsarnaev argued the trial court judge made two legal errors. The first during the jury selection process and the second when it excluded mitigating evidence in the penalty phase. The court of appeals agreed, and it reversed Tsarnaev's death sentence. The United States government then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, who agreed to hear the case.Legal Docket is made possible in part by Samaritan Ministries, a Biblical and affordable solution to health care, connecting more than 280,000 Christians across the nation who help pay one another’s medical bills.

    Bitter Pills

    America is in the midst of an opioid crisis. In this case, the government brought criminal charges against two physicians accused of running “pill mills.” The criminal charges arise under the Controlled Substances Act, a federal narcotics statute aimed at combatting drug abuse. The government argues the Act calls for an objective standard to determine if the physicians are guilty of writing illegitimate prescriptions: Would a hypothetical reasonable physician believe the prescription was illegitimate? The two doctors argue the Act imposes a subjective standard: Did they personally have the knowledge and intent to write illegitimate prescriptions?Legal Docket is made possible in part by Samaritan Ministries, a Biblical and affordable solution to health care, connecting more than 280,000 Christians across the nation who help pay one another’s medical bills.

    Level Praying Field

    Kennedy v. Bremerton School District: Joe Kennedy was a football coach for Bremerton School District, a public school in Washington. He had a practice of praying on the 50-yard-line at the end of each game, sometimes with students. He also held pre-game locker room prayers with players and spoke about faith in motivational talks. When the school learned of his practices, it feared those practices violated the First Amendment’s establishment clause. Kennedy stopped his locker room prayers and religious references in talks, but continued his midfield prayers. When he lost his job for that, he sued, claiming the school violated his First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of religion. Legal Docket is made possible in part by Samaritan Ministries, a Biblical and affordable solution to health care, connecting more than 280,000 Christians across the nation who help pay one another’s medical bills.
