  3D Gamers :: Game Listing :: Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death Info
Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death will be a first-person shooter seen through the eyes of Judge Dredd as he patrols the mean streets of the stunningly realised future metropolis, Mega-City One.
Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death will feature a unique new storyline, but one that fits in perfectly with the continuity of the comic with a full cast of characters from the Judge Dredd stories, including Judge Anderson and the Dark Judges, and many of the famous Mega-City One locations.
For instance, because Dredd must obey the law he upholds and react according to the severity of all crimes, gamers won't be able to just blast their way through the game, shooting petty criminals at will (not unless they fancy spending the rest of their life breaking rocks on Titan).

Judge William Sessions said a trio of recent U.S. Supreme Court cases has forced judges to re-examine how capital punishment is imposed and has made it impossible to continue using the federal statute.
"If the death penalty is to be part of our system of justice, due process of law and the fair trial guarantees of the Sixth Amendment require that standards and safeguards governing the kinds of evidence juries may consider must be rigorous, and constitutional rights and liberties scrupulously protected," he said.
Fell's lawyers have been challenging federal prosecutors' ability to seek the death penalty ever since the Supreme Court ruled in June that a jury, not a judge, had to weigh the evidence before sentencing a murder convict to death.

In death penalty cases, the judge said, prosecutors get twice as many peremptory challenges as usual, resulting in a greater opportunity to purge the jury of jurors who oppose the death penalty for ideological reasons.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: James Campbell
He served on the board of education until 1840, when he was appointed, by Governor David R. Porter, judge of the courts of common pleas, orphan's court, and courts of oyer and terminer, which position he filled until 1 Jan., 1851, when the judicial positions in Pennsylvania became elective.
Nominated for judge of the supreme court, at a period when Knownothingism and anti-Catholic feeling was rife, he was defeated, although his four colleagues on the Democratic ticket were elected.
Judge Campbell looked upon his obligations, whether as public official or as trustee, as duties of the highest order and of great value to society, and he was a just and severe judge upon himself as to the manner and the faithfulness with which these duties were discharged.

The U.S. attorney's office, they said, has "discretion on how to proceed in matters of prosecuting the laws in federal courts." Ashcroft, they wrote, is busy, and his ability to do his job would be "severely hampered by requiring him to personally respond."
