The United States Supreme Court in the Packingham v. North Carolina first amendment case has ruled in favor of Lester Gerard Packingham. The state from now on may not bar social media access to registered sex offenders. The case’s build up dates back to 2002 when 21 year old college student Lester G.

Five years had passed and in 2008 North Carolina forbid any person on the sex offender list to use any type of social media.

Most of these cases relate to the case of Ferris v. Special School District No. 1. (1973) due to the belief of entitlement to due process most of the plaintiffs share.

Ferris’ case ruling was justified in that she was not entitled to due process and in relation to the outcomes of other related cases, her rights were not violated. The defendants were not at fault for terminating Ferris as demonstrated by the aforementioned cases where no rights were proved to be in violation, with the exception of Roberts v.

The Fifth Amendment of the United States specifically voices that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”. The defendant, Kent, stated that the procedures leading up to the District Court trail were unjust as he lacked a proper hearing, assistance of counsel, and proceeded without a statement of reason regarding the waiver. Because of the lack of these important steps, the Court believed the defendant was being deprived of his rights without the due process of law.

Overview of Clements v. State The case of Clements v. State is an example of how the legal framework of stalking laws in Texas should be interpreted and the effectiveness of this law to ensure justice for the victims. The case depicts how the law should operate despite certain vagueness in aspects of the First Amendment. The decision of the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas to uphold the conviction while disagreeing with some conclusions arrived at by the trial court proves that stalkers will not be allowed to slide through cracks in the legal system. The case, based on a sequence of events where the complainant, Jennifer Clements, was subject to psychological trauma accompanied by an imminent physical threat to her from Nathan Clement, her estranged husband, is a forthright condition of stalking which complies with the Statues of
