Ty Reddish 27 attacked a 68 year old man. Jumped up hit him, grabbed him by the head, dropped his feet, to pull Nye Frank to the ground by his head. Then Ty stood up and jumped and came down on Nye Franks back with his knees. While Nye was passed out he grabbed him by the belt and shirt and turned him over. Jumping and bouncing on his chest to smother him and choking him while completly passed out. Nye's both rib cages broken. All of this while Lee Frank begging him to stop. He did not stop till Lee had gotten the car and driving toward him. Nye came to and was able to get into the car. He tried to talk but Lee could not understand him. He died within 3 minutes. The Riverside Coroner has natural cause of death and homicide. Mike Rushton and Daima Calhoun closed the case administratively( small meeting). Let Ty out of jail while on probation and while Ty and his family harassed, stalked Lee Frank and family said there was nothing they could do. They refused to release the sheriff report and autopsy till we got a Victims org to tell them illegal. Mike Rushton was telling Lee Nye did not have any injuries and died of a heart attack. Riverside DA office told Lee they did not have a elder advocate to help her. But the DA got a award for Elder victims advocacy.

This duty to accommodate is perfectly consistent with the well-established due process principle that, "within the limits of practicability, a State must afford to all individuals a meaningful opportunity to be heard" in its courts. Boddie, 401 U. S., at 379 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).20 Our cases have recognized a number of affirmative obligations that flow from this principle: the duty to waive filing fees in certain family-law and criminal cases,21 the duty to provide transcripts to criminal defendants seeking review of their convictions,22 and the duty to provide counsel to certain criminal defendants.23 Each of these cases makes clear that ordinary considerations of cost and convenience alone cannot justify a State's failure to provide individuals with a meaningful right of access to the courts. Judged against this backdrop, Title II's affirmative obligation to accommodate persons with disabilities in the administration of justice cannot be said to be "so out of proportion to a supposed remedial or preventive object that it cannot be understood as responsive to, or designed to prevent, unconstitutional behavior." Boerne, 521 U. S., at 532; Kimel, 528 U. S., at 86.24 It is, rather, a reasonable prophylactic measure, reasonably targeted to a legitimate end. For these reasons, we conclude that Title II, as it applies to the class of cases implicating the fundamental right of access to the courts, constitutes a valid exercise of Congress' §5 authority to enforce the guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is therefore affirmed.

The National Center for State Courts, working alongside the members of the Elder Abuse and the Courts Working Group, is involved in a number of follow-up activities to develop services the courts can use.

This new edition was updated by G. Thomas Munsterman and Paula L. Hannaford-Agor, of NCSC's Center for Jury Studies, and G. Marc White-head, chair of the Jury Initiatives Task Force of the American Bar Association's Section of Litigation, who were editors of the original edition published in 1997.This new edition looks at innova-tions courts have tried in the decade since the first edition was published, especially those involving the model of "the interactive juror"-that is, innovations focused on how jurors organize information, how to keep jurors actively involved in trial proceedings, The new edition of Jury Trial Innovations will be available in July 2006 and can be ordered through NCSC's online bookstore accessible through the "Communications" page on NCSC's Web site (www.ncsconline.org).NCSC Updates Jury Trial Innovationsand how jurors test what they see and hear against their own beliefs and values. After exploring "How Jurors Make Decisions: The Value of Trial Innovations," JTI discusses innovations in six areas:1. Jury Administration and Management 2. Voir Dire3. Pretrial Management4. Trial Procedures5. Jury Instructions and Deliberations6. Post-Verdict Co
