Post-Sentencing Issues

Post-Sentencing Issues
Overview
Too often the American public hears about cases only from the perspective of “what went wrong”. You should familiarize yourself with the post-sentencing procedures and issues such as legal error, appeals, Habeas Corpus, and such.
In a 700-word minimum essay or 10-minute creative presentation please analyze the important issues that arise in post-sentencing cases. What is judicial or procedural error? How might a person appeal based on error? What is Habeas Corpus?
Written assignments should be a minimum of 700 words. Creative presentations should be a minimum of 10 minutes and should have some form of speaker notes either embedded (PowerPoint) or attached, as well as a Microsoft Word version of your reference page (or Reference slide).
All assignments should be written in third person/neutral language. Do not use first person language such as “I,” “you,” “we,” “us,” “our,” etc. unless such language is contained in a quote from a scholarly source.
All assignments shall conform to APA formatting. Two sample APA papers are available for your reference in the Syllabus Submodule: Sample APA Papers in the Content area of this course. APA for PowerPoints includes a full “Title Page” slide, proper in-text citations for paraphrased or quoted material on each slide, and a Reference(s) slide.
All assignments in this course should have a minimum of one scholarly source (.edu, .gov, .org and/or the class book), quoted and/or paraphrased material from the source, include proper in-text citations and a separate, properly formatted reference page or reference slide.
When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place and submit a copy to the Module 4 Assignment 2 folder.
Your assignment will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. PowerPoints can be submitted there, too. You have to hold yourself accountable for any other creative presentation! Everything needs in-text citations and references;
Turnitin is activated for you so review what Turnitin says! If you have to revise your assignment, I will always accept the last assignment you submit subject to any late penalties;
Please note you may have a high Turnitin “plagiarism” ratio SIMPLY because you did not format the in-text citations correctly.
If you have not given proper credit in the form of in-text citations for either quotes or paraphrases, make sure to do so! Any form of plagiarism including self-plagiarism (quoting from your own writings) is not acceptable!
