QUESTION 1: (2 points)

numbers and compare them to a list of such numbers of stolen cars. The car driven by
Hotwheels produced a match with this list. The motion is:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
QUESTION 3: (2 points)
Defendants A and B are charged in a single indictment with the robbery and death of C.
A is charged with robbery and manslaughter, neither of which is a capital offense. B is charged
with first degree murder, which is a capital offense. They will both be tried jointly in a single
trial.
During selection of a jury to decide both criminal liability and capital sentencing, a
potential juror, D, admits that he is philosophically opposed to capital punishment, but that he
can and will follow the courts instructions and will vote to impose capital punishment if the law
so requires. Over the objection of both defendants, D is excused for cause.
Another potential juror, E, tells the court that under no circumstances could she ever vote
to impose capital punishment. Over the objection of both defendants, E is excused for cause.
A is convicted of robbery and manslaughter and sentenced by the court to 20 years in jail.
B is convicted of first degree murder and is sentenced by the jury to death. On appeal, which
one of the following is true?

QUESTION 4: (2 points)
Officer Krystal Blue Persuasion Russell receives an anonymous tip that, the following
day, a large quantity of cocaine will be located in locker number 39 at the municipal bus
terminal. Russell knows that drug traffickers have several times in the past used these lockers to
transfer drugs. Russell, with the aid of a prosecutor and a spell-check work processor, completes
an affidavit in support of a search warrant for locker number 39 of the municipal bus terminal for
cocaine. A magistrate reviews the affidavit and issues the search warrant. Russell executes the
search warrant, discovers the promised cocaine inside the designated locker, waits nearby, sees a
person later identified as Karen William O. Douglas open the locker, and arrests Douglas.
Douglas is charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine. Douglas moves to suppress
the cocaine. This motion is:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
QUESTION 5: (2 points)
Jeremy Chorus and Angela Crusingski were out on a date, when someone approached
them from behind and, in operatic fashion, sang out:
The group then dropped their nickels and dimes to the ground, where they were collected
by the robber, who, tragically for the victims, was seen only from behind and at a distance,
running from the scene. Chorus and Crusingski, however, indicated that the robber had a very
distinguishable operatic singing voice, which each felt that he or she could recognize again.
On the hunch that the robber might have been Mark convicted of RICO Caruso, local
opera cult hero, the prosecutor caused a grand jury directive to be served upon Caruso, for the
sole purpose of compelling Caruso to stand in a voice lineup, whereby Caruso and several
other similarly-sounding individuals would be required to sing the words sung by the robber in
order to determine whether any or all of the victims could identify his voice. Carusos attorney
filed a motion to quash the grand jury directive, claiming that the directive violated Carusos
fourth and fifth amendment rights. The motion to quash should be:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
denied.
_______
QUESTION 6: (2 points)
The government suspects that the trio of Jason, Matt and Sam, all siblings, are involved
in a child pornography conspiracy. The government has a pretty good case against all three, but
the prosecutor decides to drop charges against Sam in order to secure Sams testimony against
Jason and Matt. Toward that end, the prosecutor obtains a compulsion order pursuant to 18
U.S.C. 6002-6003, which grants use/derivative use immunity to Sam. Each of Jason, Matt
and Sam move for a court order preventing the government from compelling Sams testimony.
Jason and Matt object on the grounds that compelling Sam to testify will violate their (Jasons
and Matts) privilege against self-incrimination. Sam objects on the ground that, even with
use/derivative use immunity, he will still be subject to substantial civil liability and should not be
compelled to make admissions which will insure such civil liability. The court should:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
QUESTION 7: (2 points)
Lefty Ullrich is a notorious numbers operator (i.e., he runs an illegal lottery), and in
fact an arrest warrant for Ullrich has been issued. Officer January Peppy L. Pugh, determined
to execute this arrest warrant, learns that Ullrich is having dinner in the home of his father,
Andrew Chateau. Ullrich does not reside with Chateau. Pugh travels to the home of Chateau,
knocks and announces her identity and purpose and, hearing no response, forcibly enters the
house and arrests Ullrich. When Pugh enters, she sees in plain view Ullrich and Chateau sitting
at a table, pouring over numbers slips and other lottery paraphernalia. This evidence is seized
and the government subsequently seeks to use it in a prosecution of both Ullrich and Chateau.
Each defendant moves to suppress the evidence as the fruits of an illegal entry into Chateaus
home. The ruling is:
(A)
both motions are denied because Pugh had an arrest warrant for Ullrich,
(B)
both motions are granted because Pugh lacked a search warrant to enter Chateaus
home to arrest Ullrich,
(C)
only Chateaus motion is granted because only Chateau has a protected fourth
amendment interest that was violated by the entry into Chateaus home, or
(D)
only Ullrichs motion is granted because the evidence in Chateaus home cannot
be linked to Ullrich.
QUESTION 8: (2 points)
Defendant, Bryan Muchtogain, is charged with the ax murder of Pecky Beterson, a
reputed bookie to whom Muchtogain allegedly owed a large sum of money. Detective Mydear
Watson, at a time when she merely suspected Muchtogains involvement in the crime,
approached Muchtogain in a bar and asked him if he knew anything about Betersons demise,
and Muchtogain responded: Yeah, I killed her with my ax (statement number one). The
detective then arrested Muchtogain and took him in his car to the police station. While en route,
Muchtogain spontaneously stated: I had been planning on killing Beterson for several days in
advance (statement number two). Watson then asked Muchtogain why he had killed Beterson ,
and Muchtogain responded: Because I owed her big bucks (statement number three).
Muchtogain moves to suppress all three statements, solely on the ground that Miranda warnings
were not given. The government concedes that Miranda warnings were not given, but contends
that Miranda warnings were not required. Muchtogains motion:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
QUESTION 9: (2 points)
Matt Myratskis is charged with shoplifting miniature skis, which is punishable by up to

Benji. Myratskis, who is financially destitute, moves for assigned counsel. Which of the
following is true?
(A)
the court may deny the motion because there is no right to counsel for petty
offenses,
(B)
the court may deny the motion, but Myratskis may not, if convicted, be sentenced
to any term of imprisonment,
(C)
the court must grant the motion because the right to counsel extends to

(D)
the court must grant the motion because the right to counsel extends to all cases in
which imprisonment is a potential punishment.
_______
(B)
(C)
(D)
(2)
(3)

Jelly was brought to the station at about 2:30 a.m. The police then brought Beavers to the
room containing only Jelly and a uniformed officer, and asked Beavers if Jelly was the man who
had assaulted her. She responded by positively identifying Jelly as her assailant.
Meanwhile, at about 2:45 a.m., Jellys car had been transported to the police station. The
Police Department has a policy of inventorying items in impounded vehicles. In this case, suitcases
removed from the trunk of the Celica were opened and found to contain several other large glassine
bags of cocaine. The officers then also searched under the car and found similar bags of cocaine
stuffed in the tailpipe and in various parts of the undercarriage. None of these bags of cocaine was
visible without reaching into hidden areas of the car or removing some part of the cars structure.
The tires were then also removed and more bags of cocaine were found stuffed in the wheel hubs.
Jelly is charged in state court in separate indictments with (a) an assault upon Beavers, and
(b) possession with intent to distribute cocaine. You are the prosecutor assigned to these cases.
Jelly has filed a motion, regarding both charges jointly, to suppress:
(1)
(2)
(3)
all of the cocaine seized from Jellys car (it is conceded that the car is owned by
Jelly), which, it is claimed, violated Jellys Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment
rights.
