manifest constitutional error

Read a random definition: judicum subsortitio

A quick definition of manifest constitutional error:

Manifest constitutional error is a mistake made by a judge during a trial that has a significant negative impact on a party's constitutional rights. This type of error is so serious that it can be reviewed by a higher court even if the party did not object at the time of the trial. It is important to note that this type of error is different from other types of errors that may not affect a party's substantive rights or the outcome of the case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A mistake made by a trial court that has a significant negative impact on the trial, compromising the constitutional rights of a party.

Manifest constitutional error is a type of error that occurs during a trial that affects the constitutional rights of a party. This type of error is significant enough to compromise the fairness of the trial. It can be reviewed by a court of appeals even if the appellant did not object at trial.

Example: During a criminal trial, the judge allows the prosecutor to present evidence that was obtained illegally. This evidence is crucial to the prosecution's case, and the defendant's constitutional rights were violated when it was obtained. This is an example of manifest constitutional error because the defendant's right to a fair trial was compromised.

Example: In a civil trial, the judge allows the jury to hear testimony that is not relevant to the case. This testimony unfairly prejudices the jury against one of the parties. This is an example of manifest constitutional error because the party's right to a fair trial was compromised.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
