Reforms in Criminal Procedure

William L. Burdick

4.9/5 (20889 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Reforms in Criminal ProcedureMany Technicalities Survive from Obsolete Eng lish Rules. In fact, the mass of technicalities of criminal procedure, coupled with the rule of strict construction of penal statutes, is a monument to the sense of justice of the early English common law judges, who were wont to rule in merciful considera tion of the life of the accused - when barbarous law, as Professor Maitland, of England, says, was tempered by luck This justification, however, for many of the old, complicated rules of procedure has passed away, and, today, their continued application has, through vastly changed conditions, become an instrument of injustice to society rather than of par donable mercy to the accused. Today, the criminal is, by these rules, often unduly protected, while the sense of justice of the people is offended. The excuse for the old rules having passed away, the old rules them selves should vanish with it. It is due to our inertia and too great conservatism in meeting new conditions that they have not been changed in many states of this country. They were changed years ago in Eng land and hardly a vestige of them now remains in that country.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
