CHARLESTON C. K. WANG, ESQUIRE WINS DUE PROCESS DECISION IN THE OHIO COURT OF APPEALS FOR HAMILTON COUNTY.
On May 2, 2012, in the case of State of Ohio v. Zou, the Ohio Court of Appeals for the 1st Appellate District of Hamilton County held
that Ohio Criminal Rule 29(A) applies to traffic violations of the Cincinnati Municipal Code because they are criminal misdemeanor
offenses and "the idea that a defendant is presumed innocent until his guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt is the very
cornerstone of our criminal justice system. It is, by design, a difficult standard to meet, and any charge to the jury which lessens
the standard or which leaves the jury uncertain as to what the standard is or how it is to be applied is not acceptable. .....If it is
error for a trial court to fail to properly instruct a jury on reasonable doubt, it is also error for a court to fail to apply the correct
standard in a bench trial." To read the entire decision, click here. The appellant was represented in the Court of Appeals by
Charleston C. K. Wang.

OUR CONSTITUTION: IMMIGRATION IS A NATIONAL PRIORITY
An Opinion by Charleston C. K Wang 7/4/2012
The United States Supreme Court in Arizona v. United States has once again held that under our Constitution, immigration is a national priority. The federal
power to determine immigration policy is well settled now, and has been for over a hundred years before. The reasons are unassailable - the Court noted that
immigration policy can affect trade, investment, tourism, and diplomatic relations for the entire Nation, as well as the perceptions and expectations of aliens in
this country who seek the full protection of its laws. Art. I, §8, cl. 4 of the United States Constitution in providing Congress to “establish an uniform Rule of
Naturalization,” says as much.
Yet the Governor of Arizona rushed to claim victory in this landmark court battle. The reason is that the high court gave Arizona a little breathing room in
holding that a state may empower its officers who conduct a stop, detention, or arrest to make efforts, in some circumstances, to verify the person’s
immigration status with the Federal Government. That is all and for now because litigation on the full merits of the Arizona law will continue in the lower courts.
Legislators in other states of the union, including Ohio , have already seized upon this to clamor for new and draconian state laws against unwanted
immigrants by "attrition through enforcement." Such enthusiasm runs afoul of our Constitution. The Nation's highest court has held that (1) Arizona may not
further criminalize undocumented presence of aliens, (2) bar them from working, and (3) make warrantless arrests of persons believed to be deportable. The
reason is that Federal law already exists in all these respects and preempts any state initiative on the same subject. Federal preemption is nothing new and
exists in other spheres such as interstate commerce, labor relations, and national security.
Finally, the 5-3 decision joined by the Chief Justice, is firmly grounded in the our Constitution. In its decision, the majority of the Court allowed Arizona an one-
quarter consolation award and it will be prudent for state legislators to value it as such and to not overdraw on it. On the other hand, immigration remains our
national priority. The conclusion of majority opinion by Justice Kennedy says it all:
"Immigration policy shapes the destiny of this Nation. ... The history of the United States is in part made of the stories, talents, and lasting contributions of
those who crossed oceans and deserts to come here. The National Government has significant power to regulate immigration. With power comes
responsibility, and the sound exercise of national power over immigration depends on the Nation’s meeting its responsibility to base its laws on a
political will informed by searching, thoughtful, rational civic discourse."
