NEET-UG 2024 row: SC issues notice to Centre, NTA, Opposition says reason behind paper leak is...
Thursday, 20 June 2024 () Supreme Court also stayed further proceedings on some pleas on NEET UG 2024 examination pending before different high courts in the country.
Supreme Court Rules That , Some Jan. 6 Defendants, Were Improperly Charged.
NPR reports that the United States Supreme Court voted to limit which defendants accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot can be charged by federal prosecutors.
The decision also casts doubt on two out of
the four felony counts in former President
Donald Trump's election subversion indictment.
According to conservative Chief Justice John Roberts,
the court ruled that the U.S. government must prove , “that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity
for use in an official proceeding of records, documents,
objects, or other things used in an official proceeding.”.
NPR reports that prosecutors relied
on a key criminal statute to prosecute
over 350 participants of the Capitol riot.
The statute makes it a crime to alter or
destroy official documents, or to otherwise
obstruct or impede official proceedings.
Roberts wrote that the statute was
not meant to broaden the meaning of
the law to make it a catchall provision. .
The decision will impact other cases related
to Jan. 6, many of which will have to be
resentenced, retried or defendants will be released. .
NYU law professor Ryan Goodman authored
a study that found only 346 of the 1,417 people
charged in connection with the Capitol riot
were charged under the obstruction statute.
The study also found that 71 people are still
awaiting trial on the obstruction charge, but over
half of them are also charged with another felony.
NPR points out that if found guilty of other felony charges,
the sentencing judge is still allowed to use the charge of
obstruction to determine the length of their sentence.

The SEC relies on administrative
law judges (ALJ) to make legal conclusions
in cases brought before the agency.
The Supreme Court's decision has the potential
to send ripples through dozens of agencies,
from labor rights to energy regulation.
The Court did exclude from its decision those
agencies dealing with federal benefits, while some
conservative justices wanted the ruling to go further.
The three liberal justices
in dissent blasted the
decision by the majority. .
The case was brought by a former conservative
radio host and hedge fund manager, George Jarkesy,
following an SEC fraud investigation.

An in-house evidentiary hearing fined Jarkesy $300,000,
ordered him to pay back almost $700,000 in ill-gotten
profits and barred him from the securities industry.
Jarkesy argued that he was entitled to a jury trial
held in a federal court and that Congress lacked
the power to delegate such authority to the SEC.
NPR reports that Jarkesy's case was supported
by a number of conservative and business groups, and individuals such as Elon Musk.
