Re: [ha-Safran] FW: Tough Question

2013-09-09 Thread Kuperman, Aaron 
The "exclusionary rule" is that if the government (i.e. the police, public 
prosecutor, etc.) obtains the evidence illegally, the evidence is inadmissable. 
 Under traditional Jewish law (not to mention under the Anglo-American common 
law until about 200 years ago),  prosecutions were brought by the victim, not 
the government (Roman law systems had an entirely different mode of handling 
criminal prosecutions).  Until recently, there were no police (the Romans, 
again, were an exception), and no public prosecutors for most non-political 
crimes (and there only on the theory that the "king" was the victim of a 
political crime, such as treason). American constitutional rights restrict the 
government, not the people, and the victim is "people".  If the victim engaged 
in nefarious practices to get evidence, even today under American law, that 
evidence is admissable (though it might be considered unreliable, but that's 
under a different theory).

A different type of "exclusionary rule" exists for criminal confessions, and in 
this area, American law partially looked to Jewish law in partially rejecting 
common law traditions, but that's not an issue of constitutional rights per se.

Subject: [ha-Safran] FW: Tough Question

A patron is looking for any references to the following:

A distinctive feature of American criminal procedure is the so-called 
"exclusionary rule:"  the rule pursuant to which evidence cannot be used in 
court if it was obtained through violation of the constitutional rights of the 
person against whom it's offered.
Would anyone know if there are any antecedents for this concept in 
Jewish/Talmudic law?

Any thoughts?  Thanks very much.

[ha-Safran] e-library

2013-09-09 Thread david c jacobs 
Does anyone have experience with e-book lending? Especially for very small 
synagogue libraries. 

Our congregation in Corpus Christi only has about 4000 books. But as more 
people are buying e-readers I would like to start acquiring books of Jewish 
interest as they are released.

Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David Jacobs
