Severаl mоnths аgо аuthоrities at the Weaver Nuclear Reservation in Wyoming issued a brief press release about a shooting and arrest on the reservation. The release said the following: “Security officers at the Weaver Reservation last night shot and killed an armed intruder who was attempting to damage important equipment in one of the nuclear reactor buildings. Officers reported that Jacob Maine, 33, of San Lucas, Calif., was shot when he fired a pistol at a security officer who was attempting to apprehend him. Three other persons were arrested about 400 yards from the reactor building where they were caught attempting to damage vehicles owned by the government and used on the reservation.” The names of the three persons were listed. The three were later indicted on felony charges of destruction and attempted destruction of government property and criminal trespass. The day before the three defendants were to go on crimnal trial in federal court, the Cheyenne Sentinel published a story that suggested the authorities were lying about the death of Jacob Maine. Reporter Luis Montez wrote that he had been contacted by an individual who claimed that he was with Maine when he was shot. The unidentified source told Montez that Maine was not armed when he was confronted by police but was shot while he was attempting to flee. The following day prosecuting attorney Hamilton Burger issued a subpoena to reporter Montez, demanding that he testify in court regarding the story. Burger said the name of the unidentified source was critical in the case. He said he personally believed the report was a hoax to try to win sympathy for the three criminal defendants and that he hoped to prove this by confronting Montez on the witness stand. Montez announced that he would not appear at the trial and that he would ignore the subpoena. He said he had promised to not reveal the identity of his source for the story. He claimed that despite the fact that there is no shield law in Wyoming, he was protected by the First Amendment. Please label your answer as 1., 2., 3. Is there a First Amendment protection that might protect Montez in this case from revealing the confidential source? What must the government prove before Montez can be forced to testify? What elements and/or test should the court apply to the facts? Please apply them to determine your answer. Will Montez be required to testify, yes or not?
Rоscоe Ruins is а grаphic аrtist whо makes a modest living designing T-shirts and selling them to vendors all over Los Angeles. One of his designs includes two marionettes, wooden sticklike figures, with the faces of “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon and “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert. The strings on the marionettes are being held by two abstract figures labeled NBC and CBS. The lettering on the T-shirt says, “We don’t always know what we’re doing, but when they pull the strings we dance!” While the message on the T-shirt didn’t seem to make much sense, in the celebrity dominated environs of Los Angeles, the T-shirts sold well. Colbert apparently laughed the satire off; Fallon, however, sued for infringement of his right of publicity. “Using his image without permission for a commercial purpose was an illegal appropriation,” his attorney argued. Ruins’s attorney disagreed and argued that the use of such image was permitted under the law. Please label your answers with the corresponding numbers. 1. What are the elements for appropriation? 2. Apply the elements to these facts. 3. Are there any defenses that apply? If so, list and apply them them. 4. Lastly, how would a court rule over the case? Would Roscoe Ruin or Jimmy Fallon win the case?
