The Scruds are mad at the Drips because they believe that the Drips have been encroaching on the Scruds\u2019 territory and selling drugs in the Scruds\u2019 neighborhood. Members of the gangs take the first letter of the gang\u2019s affiliation for their \u201cgang name.\u201d For example, the leader of the Drips is assumed the name Dripster, while the leader of the Scrips took on the name Stupido. Officers Do-Right and Justice have been assigned to the case and have been following members of both gangs closely over the past several weeks.<br \/>\nDripster (the leader of the Drips) has been driving around in a Black Chevrolet Blazer that is registered to his girlfriend. Do-Right and Justice have placed a tracking device on the vehicle so that they can follow the gang leader at a safe distance without him noticing them. Using the tracking device, they have followed him to a party being held at a house owned by the girlfriend of a fellow Drip, Dufus.<br \/>\nThe officers decide to use a new device that they have obtained from the police department called the Bloodhound, which can sniff out certain smells from a distance. Using the Bloodhound, the officers have determined that inside the house are the following substances: marijuana, creatine (which is commonly used to cut cocaine), and lye (which can be used in making methamphetamine). Based upon the information they have obtained from the Bloodhound, they call a magistrate and obtain a search warrant for Dufus\u2019 house.<br \/>\nAfter backup arrives, Officers Do-Right and Justice lead the way to the house, where they break through the front door of the house without first knocking and announcing their presence. Inside the house, they find Dripster sitting at the kitchen table in front of a scale and a white powdery substance, which is later determined to be to be cocaine. They also find Dufus in a back room surrounded by boxes of electronics and a pile of cash that they later determine to be $50,000. With Dufus are two low-level Drips, Dummy and Duncecap, who are armed with automatic assault rifles and loaded handguns.<br \/>\nWhen the officers rush into the room where Dufus, Dummy, and Duncecap are, Duncecap immediately throws up his hands and tells the officers, \u201cI\u2019ll tell you everything I know! Just don\u2019t arrest me!\u201d Dufus turns to his accomplices and says, \u201cIf either of you says a word, you are dead meat.\u201d Duncecap immediately stops talking and claims he \u201cdoesn\u2019t know anything about anything.\u201d<br \/>\nAs Do-Right is escorting Dripster to his cruiser after he has arrested him, a carload of Scruds drives by slowly. The Scruds\u2019 leader, Stupido, leans out of his window and yells to Dripster, \u201cI told you to keep your business off our turf!\u201d Dripster, thinking Stupido is the reason that the cops raided the house, grabs Do-Right\u2019s gun and opens fire towards Stupido\u2019s car. Dripster misses Stupido and his car, but he shoots and injures a 12-year-old girl, Innocent, who is watching the arrests in her front yard across the street. Innocent survives but is paralyzed. At the same time, Stupido, realizing that Dripster is shooting at him, grabs his own weapon from the car and shoots at his arch-enemy but misses him.<br \/>\nOfficers are able to safely transport Dripster, Dufus, Dummy, and Duncecap to the police station and have also arrested Stupido. They search Stupido\u2019s car at the scene and find the gun he used to shoot at Dripster. Ballistics shows that the gun was used in a previous armed robbery of a party store. Stupido is charged with the robbery.<br \/>\nAt the police station, Officer Justice, who is questioning Dummy without first reading Miranda warnings, tells Dummy that if he tells him everything he knows about the rivalry between the Drips and the Scruds and agrees to testify against the members of both gangs, the police will charge him with only possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Dummy takes the deal.<br \/>\nStupido was interrogated at the police station regarding the armed robbery and told that he had been named as the robber by an eyewitness. He asked for his lawyer three times, but his lawyer, who arrived at the police station while Stupido was being interrogated, was twice denied entry to the interrogation. After three hours of interrogation, Stupido confesses to the armed robbery.<br \/>\nDripster is convicted of attempted murder of Innocent and sentenced to death. He is also convicted of possession with intent to sell marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. He is additionally convicted of possession of stolen property (the electronics) and unregistered firearms. Stupido is convicted of the armed robbery and attempting to murder Dripster. Dufus and Duncecap are also convicted of possession with intent to sell marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine; possession of stolen property (the electronics); and for unregistered firearms. Dummy is convicted of misdemeanor possession of marijuana.<br \/>\nThe cases are all combined as People v. Dripster, Dummy &amp; Stupido , et al. The following points have been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. You are an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and this case has come before the Court. The Chief Justice has assigned you to write a majority opinion resolving the case. In your paper,<\/p>\n<p>Write an opinion (an analysis of the questions below that will serve as the reasoning and the ruling of the Supreme Court) that resolves the case based upon previous cases from the United States Supreme Court, other federal and state courts, and other scholarly sources.<br \/>\nExplain your opinion on each of the following points:<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate whether all the evidence from the house should have been suppressed as fruit of the poisonous tree, because the placing of a tracking device on the Blazer driven by Dripster without a warrant and without probable cause violated the Fourth Amendment.<br \/>\nAssess whether all the evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the use of the Bloodhound device without a warrant and without probable cause violated the Fourth Amendment.<br \/>\nDetermine whether all evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the warrant issued by the magistrate was based upon information obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment.<br \/>\nRule on whether all evidence from the house should have been suppressed because the police officers did not knock and announce; the warrant was not a no-knock warrant.<br \/>\nConclude whether the gun used by Stupido should have been suppressed because the officers had no right to search his car at the scene.<br \/>\nExamine whether Dummy\u2019s conviction for marijuana possession should be overturned, because he was not read Miranda warnings before making a deal.<br \/>\nEvaluates whether Stupido\u2019s confession should have been suppressed, because his lawyer was not allowed to see him.<br \/>\nExplain the validity of Dripster\u2019s death sentence for shooting and paralyzing Innocent violates the Eighth Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court Opinion Final Paper<\/p>\n<p>Must be 1,500 to 2,000 words in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center\u2019s APA Style(Links to an external site.)<br \/>\nMust include a separate title page with the following:<\/p>\n<p>Title of paper<br \/>\nStudent\u2019s name<br \/>\nCourse name and number<br \/>\nInstructor\u2019s name<br \/>\nDate submitted<\/p>\n<p>For further assistance with the formatting and the title page, refer to APA Formatting for Word 2013(Links to an external site.).<\/p>\n<p>Must utilize academic voice.
