Man Trouble (1992)



According to Time Out magazine: "The trouble is, the film never seems to know where it's headed. Not quite a romance, a thriller or a comedy, it's a movie with an on-going identity crisis. Barkin, playing against type, produces a shrill caricature of femininity, while Rafelson indulges Nicholson's familiar soft-spoken laxity, another of his personable rogues."[citation needed]

"Blood & Wine'' was directed and co-written by Bob Rafelson, who directed Nicholson's first great picture ("Five Easy Pieces," 1970) and also worked with him in "The King of Marvin Gardens" (1972), "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1981) and the unsuccessful "Man Trouble" (1992). This is a return to the tone of their best work; all the major characters are villains or victims. Director Paul Schrader was telling me not long ago that movies have passed out of an existential period and into an ironic period. In that case, "Blood & Wine'' is a throwback, because there is nothing ironic about these characters except what finally happens to them. The plot is lurid and blood-soaked beyond description, but is handled seriously, as a string of events illustrating the maxim that bad things happen to bad people.

Four news reporters witnessed the execution, but only a reporter from the Newton Citizen newspaper was allowed to be in the room when Terrell was strapped to the gurney and IV lines were placed. She said nurses appeared to have trouble placing the needle in his left arm, and the process took about an hour, which is longer than usual.


[3c] On the issue of the finality of the prior determination, under California law, collateral estoppel effect is ordinarily accorded only to determinations reached in proceedings in which jeopardy attached. (People v. Methey (1991) 227 Cal. App. 3d 349, 354- 355 [277 Cal. Rptr. 777], disapproved on other grounds in Schlick v. Superior Court (1992) 4 Cal. 4th 310 [14 Cal. Rptr. 2d 406, 841 P.2d 926].) [5] In particular, a pretrial suppression ruling is not ordinarily considered "final" so as to preclude relitigation in another proceeding. (People v. Gephart, supra, 93 Cal.App.3d at pp. 999-1000.) Relitigation of suppression issues is not precluded where charges have been refiled following the grant of a motion to dismiss under Penal Code section 995 (People v. One 1960 Cadillac Coupe (1964) 62 Cal. 2d 92, 95 [41 Cal. Rptr. 290, 396 P.2d 706]; People v. Methey, supra, 227 Cal.App.3d at p. 355), or after grant of a motion under Penal Code section 1538.5 in the municipal court (People v. Methey, supra, 227 Cal.App.3d at p. 355; People v. Sahagun, (1979) 89 Cal. App. 3d 1, 16-17 [152 Cal.Rptr. 233]) or in the superior court in a different county on different charges (People v. Gephart, supra, 93 [11 Cal. App. 4th 1557] Cal.App.3d at p. 1000. See generally, 1 Witkin & Epstein, Cal. Criminal Law (1988) Defenses, 350, p. 405). fn. 4


FN 8. The court's actual words were that the court believed Mauerhan "had probable cause to detain the defendant ...." We cannot but believe the court was speaking somewhat loosely, for we are inclined to agree with the federal court that nothing Mauerhan described about Meredith's conduct before the stop constituted probable cause, or even sufficiently reasonable suspicion to justify as much as a "Terry" stop. However, the People did not argue there was probable cause or reasonable suspicion for a seizure within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Rather, the People's theory was that the initial encounter was consensual and the ultimate search was also pursuant to consent. Mauerhan testified as follows: "That's the way I've been trained in drug courier cases. They are done on consensual encounters. They're not a detention. And the most important thing to do and the first thing I did do on every case is tell the person that I'm a police officer, that they're not in trouble, that they're not under arrest, and that they're free to leave and would they mind talking to me." Although the court did not believe Mauerhan expressly told Meredith he was free to leave, the absence of such express statement did not necessarily make the encounter a "seizure." (Mendenhall v. United States, supra, 446 U.S. at p. 555 [64 L.Ed.2d at pp. 509-510].) Based upon the totality of the circumstances of the initial encounter as described by Mauerhan, we believe the court could reasonably find the encounter consensual, and thus reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.


Furthermore, the period at issue here began with our decision in Latimore I, which concluded the appellate process. The defendant cites no case supporting the proposition that due process is violated simply because a long interval of time separated the conclusion of the appellate process from the subsequent order for a new trial. He argues, however, that Doggett v. United States, 505 U.S. 647 (1992), is analogous and should be applied in such circumstances. We do not agree.


The defendant properly observes that prosecutorial discretion is not completely unfettered. Id. at 608. The decision to prosecute may not be deliberately based "on an impermissible classification such as race, religion, or sex," Commonwealth v. Franklin Fruit Co., 388 Mass. 228, 230 (1983); Commonwealth v. Franklin, 376 Mass. 885, 894 (1978), or because of the defendant's exercise of constitutional, statutory, or procedural rights. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 406 Mass. 533, 536-537 (1990); Commonwealth v. McGovern, 397 Mass. 863, 865-867 (1986). Accord Wayte, supra; United States v. Bourgeois, 964 F.2d 935, 938 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 901 (1992); United States v. Penagaricano-Soler, 911 F.2d 833, 837 (1st Cir. 1990). Here, however, the defendant does not claim that he was prosecuted because of his race, religion, or sex. Rather, he argues that the district attorney abused his discretion by giving undue weight to the wishes of the murdered man's family. We conclude that consideration of the family's concerns and desires is not the sort of impermissible motive which justifies judicial inquiry into the district attorney's exercise of discretion.

WILKINS, J. (concurring). I am troubled that the inordinate delay in the defendant's retrial was caused by the failure of the process for permitting appellate review of postconviction challenges subject to G. L. c. 278, s. 33E (1994 ed.). That process places unreviewable authority in one judge to deny full court review. See Leaster v. Commonwealth, 385 Mass. 547, 548 (1982). When this case was here on appeal in 1979, the error in the jury instructions (not argued by then defense counsel) was not as clearly a ground for reversal of the conviction under G. L. c. 278, s. 33E, as it was a ground for reversal on constitutional principles four years later. Four years later, however, leave to appeal to the full trench from denial of the defendant's new trial motion was not granted. In my view leave to appeal to the full court should have been granted.


"[Juror 1-15] appeared to me, your Honor, to be a white woman somewhere in her late forties. I was concerned about several things with her; one was that she only had a ninth grade education and that she had apparently no outside occupation in this world in her adult years. The fact that she had some sort of mixed race marriage somewhere in her family was of no concern to me. She mentioned that she had a domestic relations injunction case sometime, I gather, recently within the last year or so which tend to be very emotional types of things that the District Attorney's Office usually gets involved in, a [c.] 209A, and quite often they are resolved, if you will, in a fashion that isn't satisfactory to the person seeking the injunction, whether it's because they don't think the DA's office did a good job or because there's further trouble with the person that the injunction simply doesn't work against, it can happen in a number of ways, so that was a concern me. And finally, she just struck me as a little bit odd, O-D-D, and so my gut reaction was, since I had used, at that point, only one challenge, and we were early in the proceedings in terms of selecting a jury, it struck me that it was better to be on the safe side to challenge her and await some other juror that appeared to be more stable and more intelligent and more better educated than one that didn't have this other baggage and one that had been out in the world more, so I challenged her. But it was not for racial reasons. She appeared to me to be a white woman. . . . 041b061a72
