In order for criminal law to be able to excel in a society that values freedom and liberty over all else, a proper system of funding needs to be implemented. Hundreds of millions of dollars are given to criminal justice at the base level, for cops and direct enforcers of the law, but when it comes to the defenders of the law, the funding falls short (West)
People who have committed crimes stay in jail for more time than they sometimes have to just because they are waiting for a trial to start, and without adequate funding, this waiting time will just continue to be elongated until someone becomes available that could handle a certain case (Dolan). This in fact costs even more money to maintain a person incarcerated for longer than they have to when they could just as easily hire more people to go through these cases faster (Chung)
Once it reaches the level where it could finally be handled and taken care of, there are still hundreds of cases waiting to be heard, so even at the point where an individual is up to get a fair and equal hearing, the judges are so overwhelmed, the courts are so backed up, that many times, the attention that a case deserves is not given to a particular individual. This lack of attention to detail could actually result in an error that could elongate the jail time even more, and lead to more costs in the end (Ostrom and Hanso)
This is in just about every state, and every state unfortunately cannot do anything about it, especially now with the downturned economy. People who have committed crimes stay in jail for more time than they sometimes have to just because they are waiting for a trial to start, and without adequate funding, this waiting time will just continue to be elongated until someone becomes available that could handle a certain case (Dolan)
When an ancillary crime is committed as part of another crime, such as bank robbery, those involved in those crimes can also be charged in relation to the bank robbery. (Abrams, 1989) For instance, when Louie burglarized the home of Smith in order to steal guns, or when Vinnie stole the cars, the charges in those crimes can be brought as part of the bank robbery
By assisting in "criminal activity without being present during the commission of a crime," Smokey can also be charged as an accessory to the crime of bank robbery. (Carper, p

¶ … De minimus communication refers to occasional communication between defendants and jurors that would have no impact on the outcome of the case. Minimal communication like a hello or giving directions would not influence the case in anyway and this is allowed within the American legal system (Hess & Orthmann, 2009)
