A RETURN TO APPRENDI: THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE MODEL CSGS 278 CONCLUSION 280 INTRODUCTION One evening in Texas in 1995, Tenie Dittman had just bought a new van and was driving home. As she pulled into her driveway, two men pointed guns and demanded her new van. When Ms. Dittman attempted to back out of the driveway, away from the men, one of the men shot at her five times, hitting her at least three times. Both men fled, leaving the wounded Ms. Dittman in her driveway. They were eventually captured, charged, and convicted of carjacking, conspiracy to commit carjacking, and various firearms violations. When the defendants, Jeffrey Matthews and Michael Cook, were presented at sentencing several months later, a judge enhanced their sentences by ten years pursuant to the Criminal Street Gang Statute, finding that the men were members of the Crips, a criminal street gang, and their actions were committed with the goal of impressing their friends in the gang.1 The only evidence presented at the sentencing hearing against defendant Matthews was the hearsay testimony of an F.B.I, agent summarizing the statements made by other members of Matthews's group of acquaintances.2 Matthews's acquaintances told the F.B.I, agent that they had seen him around the Crips and Matthews had bragged about shooting Ms. Dittman.3 Matthews was not permitted to cross-examine the F.B.I. agent or the friends who had made those statements.4 The judge found by a preponderance of the evidence that Matthews belonged to the Crips and sentenced Matthews to jail for an additional ten years.5 Matthews had no notice of these charges at his trial and no ability to plead his case to the jury.6 This Note questions the constitutionality of the statute that sent Matthews to jail for an additional ten years: the Criminal Street Gang Statute.7 The word gang evokes various images-from the mob and Don Corleone in the Mario Puzo's The Godfather trilogy8 to a group of urban teens with colored bandanas hanging out on the street corner. …" @default.
