James Oliveira, was arrested on charges of sexually molesting his six-year-old grandson. The state filed a complaint against him on August 13, the day on which he was presented in District Court,
referred to the Public Defender's Office, and held without bail. On October 29 he was indicted on two counts of first-degree child molestation. Laurie Moriarty, a Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) child protective investigator, was assigned to the child's case. The DCYF, by law, investigates all child abuse allegations. The goals of a DCYF investigation are to determine the validity of reported allegations and to assure the safety and well-being of children. It is DCYF policy that investigators interview each involved adult, including alleged perpetrators. It is also DCYF protocol to work in conjunction with law enforcement personnel. On August 24, Moriarty went to the Child Advocacy Center where she interviewed the boy and his mother, and met with the detectives and prosecutor in this case. She was informed that there was enough evidence to press charges against Oliveira. The next day, August 25, Moriarty went to the jail and interviewed Oliveira. She did not ascertain whether he was represented by counsel. During the jail interview Oliveira admitted that he sexually molested his grandson. At trial, after refreshing her memory by reviewing her report, Moriarty told the jury what the defendant told her, which included details of the sexual acts. Oliveira was convicted. (1) When did Oliveira's Sixth Amendment right to counsel attach? (2) Was Moriarty a state officer for purposes of enforcing Oliveira's rights under Massiah v. United States (1964) and Maine v. Moulton (1985)? What will be an ideal response?
Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Without specific definitions, accurate measurement is impossible, making development of programs to prevent and control delinquency and offenses against juveniles extremely difficult. 2. Using the behavioral definition, a juvenile who committed a relatively serious offense but was not apprehended would not be classified as delinquent. 3. There is a dark figure of delinquent activity where a substantial amount of illegal behavior committed by youth is not detected. 4. A basic difficulty with legal definitions is that they differ from time to time and from place to place. 5. An act that is delinquent at one time and in one place might not be delinquent at another time or in another place.
