By Alan Ellis, Peter Goldberger, James H. Feldman, Jr., and Karen L. Landau
It garnered little public attention, but the recent U.S. Supreme Court case of Apprendi v. New Jersey may be one of the most important and far-reaching criminal cases decided by the Court in years, according to the authors. And, because it was decided on constitutional grounds, it affects both state and federal law. Prior to Apprendi, only "elements" of an offense needed to be charged in the indictment. Now, they write, if a fact increases the maximum potential sentence, it must be charged in the indictment, submitted to the jury, and proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Its greatest impact will be felt in drug cases.Recidivism of Sex Offenders: What You Need to Know
