The Problem of the Incompetent or Insane Defendant.It is a denial of due process to try or sentence a defendant who is insane or incompetent to stand trial.1204 When it becomes evident during the trial that a defendant is or has become insane or incompetent to stand trial, the court on its own initiative must conduct a hearing on the issue.1205 Although there is no constitutional requirement that the state assume the burden of proving a defendant competent, the state must provide the defendant with a chance to prove that he is incompetent to stand trial. 1989). 898 367 U.S. at 89698.

From the 1920s through the '70s, the history of the Fairness Doctrine paints a picture of public servants wrestling with how to maintain some public interest standards in the operation of publicly ownedbut corporate-dominatedairwaves. That right is conferred not by legislative grace, but by constitutional guarantee. . by ensuring that no person will be deprived of his interests in the absence of a proceeding in which he may present his case with assurance that the arbiter is not predisposed to find against him.764 Thus, a showing of bias or of strong implications of bias was deemed made where a state optometry board, made up of only private practitioners, was proceeding against other licensed optometrists for unprofessional conduct because they were employed by corporations. fairness doctrine, U.S. communications policy (1949-87) formulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required licensed radio and television broadcasters to present fair and balanced coverage of controversial issues of interest to their communities, including by granting equal airtime to opposing candidates for public office.

Instead, by triggering a new hearing to determine whether the convicted person was a public threat, a habitual offender, or mentally ill, the law in effect constituted a new charge that must be accompanied by procedural safeguards. 1188 The decisive issue, then, was whether the statute required the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the offense. .

In Clark, the Court weighed competing interests to hold that such evidence could be channeled to the issue of insanity due to the controversial character of some categories of mental disease, the potential of mental-disease evidence to mislead, and the danger of according greater certainty to such evidence than experts claim for it.1191, Another important distinction that can substantially affect a prosecutors burden is whether a fact to be established is an element of a crime or instead is a sentencing factor. 858 Saunders v. Shaw, 244 U.S. 317 (1917). 764 Marshall v. Jerrico, 446 U.S. 238, 242 (1980); Schweiker v. McClure, 456 U.S. 188, 195 (1982). 998 Hamilton v. Brown, 161 U.S. 256 (1896); Security Savings Bank v.

Russell, 427 U.S. 328 (1976). If all known claimants were personally served and all claimants who were unknown or nonresident were given constructive notice by publication, judgments in these proceedings were held binding on all.998 But, in Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co.,999 the Court, while declining to characterize the proceeding as in rem or in personam, held that a bank managing a common trust fund in favor of nonresident as well as resident beneficiaries could not obtain a judicial settlement of accounts if the only notice was publication in a local paper. Prisoners may resort to state tort law in such circumstances, but neither the Constitution nor 1983 provides a federal remedy.

Co. v. Sullivan, 526 U.S. 40 (1999) (no liberty interest in workers compensation claim where reasonableness and necessity of particular treatment had not yet been resolved).

As long as it is clear that the presumption is not the sole and sufficient basis for a finding of guilt, it need only satisfy the test described in Leary.1202 Thus, due process was not violated by the application of the statute that provides that the presence of a firearm in an automobile is presumptive evidence of its illegal possession by all persons then occupying the vehicle.1203 The division of the Court in these cases and in the Mullaney v. Wilbur line of cases clearly shows the unsettled nature of the issues they concern. 873 Logan v. Zimmerman Brush Co., 455 U.S. 422 (1982). See also Adam v. Saenger, 303 U.S. 59 (1938) (plaintiff suing defendants deemed to have consented to jurisdiction with respect to counterclaims asserted against him). Before International Shoe Co. v. Washington,924 it was asserted that, because a corporation could not carry on business in a state without the states permission, the state could condition its permission upon the corporations consent to submit to the jurisdiction of the states courts, either by appointment of someone to receive process or in the absence of such designation, by accepting service upon corporate agents authorized to operate within the state.925 Further, by doing business in a state, the corporation was deemed to be present there and thus subject to service of process and suit.926 This theoretical corporate presence conicted with the idea of corporations having no existence outside their state of incorporation, but it was nonetheless accepted that a corporation doing business in a state to a sufficient degree was present for service of process upon its agents in the state who carried out that business.927, Presence alone, however, does not expose a corporation to all manner of suits through the exercise of general jurisdiction.

Ultimately, the Court addressed these issues in United States v. Bagley1168 . The four dissenters, Justices Black, Burton, Brennan, and Douglas, believed that the transfer in Florida of $400,000 made by a domiciliary and affecting beneficiaries, almost all of whom lived in that state, gave rise to a sufficient connection with Florida to support an adjudication by its courts of the effectiveness of the transfer. 1091 Lanzetta v. New Jersey, 306 U.S. 451 (1939); Edelman v. California, 344 U.S. 357 (1953). The Court, therefore, saw no reason to constitutionalize the issue.1261 It also expressed concern that [e]stablishing a freestanding right to access DNA evidence for testing would force us to act as policymakers . As noted previously, the advent of this new doctrine can be seen in Goldberg v. Kelly,810 in which the Court held that, because termination of welfare assistance may deprive an eligible recipient of the means of livelihood, the government must provide a pretermination evidentiary hearing at which an initial determination of the validity of the dispensing agencys grounds for termination may be made. 1127 Jacobson v.
