Remember, there are three states plus federal laws to discuss. Make sure all four are included.

Please read each question on the top row carefully and answer what is asked. The first question, for example, asks if marijuana is illegal in that jurisdiction. If relevant, differentiate between recreational marijuana and medical-use marijuana. The last question asks about increased punishment for increased blood alcohol level (in other words, extremely drunk). It is not discussing repeat offenders; rather I want to know if there is a higher level of intoxication than regular DWI, what that level is and what the punishment for  higher level of intoxication is. Almost all states have such a law, so answering "no" will, in all likelihood, be incorrect.

Civil forfeiture rules allow the government to take proceeds of a crime even when they have been used to buy something else (a car, a house). But sometimes that seizure involves innocent people. What do you think of these asset forfeiture rules? Do they, in any way, benefit law enforcement? Do they deter crime? Why or why not?

Crimes are considered a breach of the peace. And yet crimes, for the most part, are wrongs committed against individuals. Discuss the differences and similarities between civil and criminal law; who gets to “punish” the offender—the government or the individual? Or both? Why? Who, in your opinion has the greater right? The greater responsibility? Why? Use the OJ Simpson case as an example.

Resource: University Material: Ruling on State v. Stu Dents

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word proposal that includes two different sentencing arguments formulated by your team.

Include the desired outcome of each punishment.

Include alternative and intermediate sanctions.

Include a 5- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with your proposal.

Rules For Power Point Presentations

A PowerPoint presentation is not merely a paper divided up among slides. A PowerPoint is supposed to be eye-catching and interesting to the viewer. In addition to whatever words are on the slide, the slide itself should have a meaningful background and whatever graphics you feel are appropriate.

Aside from the graphics, the slides should contain bullet points of what you will be "discussing". The bulk of the information you are supplying will be in the speaker notes. This is how a PowerPoint is presented to an audience. The slides will give the headlines of what you will be talking about and what the audience will see. What you will be telling the audience, in explaining those bullet points, is what you will write in the speaker notes. These, therefore, must have all the information you might have written in a paper.

I do not want to see a lot of verbiage in the slides, and I do not want to see empty speaker notes. Leaving the notes blank or including nothing but a reference is insufficient.

Speaking of references, every slide and all speaker notes must have cites as to where the information came from. If photographs or other graphics (illustrations, etc.) are used in the slides, these must be cited and referenced also. And there must be at least one reference slide at the end of the presentation (this and the title slide will count towards the number of slides you are to provide).

Format your paper and presentation consistent with APA guidelines.

A case I tried: Joe Smith is driving his full-size van down a public street. Suddenly he decides to make a u-turn. But, in order to do so, he has to climb the lane divider that is 9 inches high. He guns his engine, turns the wheel, hits the divider—and then jumps to the opposite sidewalk, going diagonally across the street against traffic. He jumps the curb, and slams into Juan Gomez, smashing Juan into the wall and dragging him 25 feet down the block. Joe then turns the wheel of his van, dropping Juan to the sidewalk. Joe then runs over Juan’s legs and turns back onto the street, facing the wrong way. Joe stops. The police arrive and find him sitting on the sidewalk. Juan is dead, his internal organs exploding from the impact. The officer (whose real name is Johnny Walker), smells Joe’s breath. Drunk. A blood alcohol test reveals a .24 BAC, three times the legal limit.

Joe is an alcoholic because a serious accident severed the fingers of one hand and he drinks to ease the pain. He drives his van using the palm of his hand on a knob on the steering wheel.

Joe was charged with two different types of homicide: involuntary manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Based on the readings and your view of the case, if you were a juror deciding this case, which verdict would you reach: guilty of involuntary manslaughter, guilty of criminally negligent homicide, or not guilty of all counts? Defend your answer as you would have to during jury deliberations.

Jesse James goes into a bank, goes up to a teller, produces a handgun and requests a quantity of currency, preferably United States greenbacks. The teller obliges and James leaves. The teller, a quick thinker, hits the silent alarm button and the police soon arrive. They find James and chase him. James, fleeing from his pursuers, grabs a woman and uses her as a shield to protect himself against the police. The officers back off but, suddenly, James starts firing at the officers. One of the officers takes careful aim, fires—and strikes the woman hostage. She falls, mortally wounded. James is quickly apprehended. Based on your readings and the capstone cases, can James be charged with felony murder? Why or why not? Support your answer with logic, case law and whatever research you care to do.

Adam Smith is angry with Karl Marx (not their real names) and wants to engage Marx in a fistfight. Marx refuses, but Smith won’t let it go and throws a punch that lands on Marx’s chin causing a bruise. What it also causes is Marx’s rapid descent to the sidewalk he was just standing on. Marx topples backwards like a fallen oak tree and slams his head on the concrete. Blood starts trickling out of his left ear. Smith, frightened (because he certainly didn’t intend for this to happen), calls 911 and an ambulance soon arrives. To no avail. Marx dies. What, if anything, should Smith be charged with? Simple assault? Aggravated assault? Homicide? If yes to the latter, which degree of homicide? Should he not be charged with any crime? Explain your reasoning, using your text and the case law and any research into states’ laws you wish to find.

Here are two typical undercover police operations:

1.      Undercover officer approaches Able and asks where he can buy some crack cocaine. Able steers the undercover (u/c, in the biz) to Baker and says, “My man here can help you.” The u/c then asks Baker for “two.” Baker reaches to a window sill and removes two vials containing crack, hands them to the u/c who gives Baker $10. The u/c leaves the scene, radios a description of Able and Baker and watches, from a safe distance, as his back-up team swoops down and makes the arrest, recovering the rest of the “stash” by the window sill and the $10 bill in Baker’s pocket.

2.      A police officer in plainclothes, lies on the floor on a subway platform, appearing drunk and asleep. He has several $20 bills sticking out of his pocket just ripe for the picking. And pick someone does. Charlie, a man with no criminal record, comes along, sees the sleeping “drunk”, bends down and takes one of the bills from the officer’s pocket. He walks away but is quickly apprehended and charged with grand larceny: taking property from the person of another (in New York, a low-level felony).

Is either of these scenarios entrapment? Why or why not? What differentiates each of these examples, if anything? Compare and contrast these operations.
