POS 282 INTRODUCTION TO AMERICAN LAW
In class today, Monday 3/28, I distributed one handout, Maine statutes regarding hindering apprehension, common law crimes, and various mandatory reporting requirements. We went over the Mobbley case, and compared it to Maine law. Along the way, we discussed dictum in a case. We talked about the responsibility to report crime, and looked at the Massachusetts statute that criminalized certain failures to report. We will pick up with the Holland case on Wednesday. The assignment for Wednesday 3/30 is to review Holland (previously assigned), read today's handout, and read in the text through p. 77 (Glassford).

We looked at the majority, concurrence, and dissenting opinions. On Wednesday I'll talk about an exclusion case currently before the Supreme Court. Utah v. Strieff.
