The defendant does not have to prove anything. The state/prosecutor must prove the case; therefore, the defendant never has to testify in court. This is a Constitutional protection (the right to remain silent).
In this situation, the victim testifies that the sex was NOT consensual. There is no physical evidence of resistance. This is not a he said/she said case. She said yes and he said nothing.
Imagine that many times when a weapon is displayed and harm is threatened, victims unwillingly cooperate with their attacker based upon the undue influence of the weapon.
With this in mind, what do you think about the case and its proofs?

You have been selected to be a juror on a rape trial. The victim presented very graphic and compelling testimony that she was raped by the defendant and that she was told by the defendant that if she resisted, she would be killed. The victim also stated that the defendant had a gun when the attack occurred. The prosecution presented DNA evidence that the defendant engaged in sexual activity with the victim but there is little physical evidence to support the victim’s claims that the sex was not consensual (bruising, tearing, cuts, etc.) The defendant has chosen not to testify at trial.
As a juror, what do you think about the defendant’s decision not to testify at trial? Would you want to hear from the defendant during the trial or could you not consider in any way the defendant’s decision not to testify? Make sure to explain your reasoning.

Please respond to each of the following prompts; roughly 75-150 words for each will do.

B) In what ways was the U.S. Constitution forged in various compromises?

C) Serious constitutional issues were manifest during George Washington’s presidency; please discuss two or three.

D) What were the causes and consequences of the War of 1812?

Write an essay that answers the guiding question:
“To what extent did [chosen conflict] occur due to political and/or economic reasons?”
Develop a thesis statement in answer to the guiding question and use it to select and organize the information.
Potential thesis structures:
___________ (political/economic factor), ___________(political/economic factor), and ___________(political/economic factor), contributed to a significant extent to the start of/as causes of­­­­­­____________ (conflict).
____________ (political or economic factor) and ____________ (political or economic factor) were significant contributing factors to the ____________ (conflict), however, an equally significant causal factor was the ___________ (political or economic factor).

Your essay should recognize the causes of the conflict from at least three PRISM categories and provide enough events to have the reader understand the timeline of the conflict . Top tip: Use your glossary to help.
HOW TO PROCEED
Start by choosing a conflict (suggestions at the bottom of the page), or a battle within one of those conflicts, that interests you. It is best to choose a conflict that highlights differing ideologies.
Choose a battle/conflict then research all the different factors that contributed to it. You are trying to answer the question ‘how did this start? / Why did this happen?’. From there you can choose the 2-3 most significant factors that caused the conflict and find sources on those factors.

Topic: Trends and Patterns in Hate Crime
Go to the UCR Hate Crime website and figure the U.S. rates for hate crimes for 5 consecutive years (e.g., 2000-2004 etc.).
Are rates going up, down or staying the same for those 5 years? Based on your findings, what are the causes of hate crimes?

write at least a 300-word reflection Journal summarizing the two chapters, key terms and on what you have learned from both chapters
Chapter 10: “Jury”
This chapter is an examination of the: who, what, when, where, and why of the United States jury system.
Chapter 11: “Trial Procedure”
This chapter outlines the criminal trial process, the order in which a trial takes place as well as the level of proof that is required to gain a conviction. In addition, what happens when there is a mistrial and any syndromes or mental illness issues that may impact the trial are explained.
Jury of one’s peers: A guaranteed right of criminal defendants, in which “peer” means an “equal.” This has been interpreted by courts to mean that the available jurors include a broad spectrum of the population, particularly of race, national origin, and gender. Jury selection may include no process which excludes those of a particular race or intentionally narrows the spectrum of possible jurors. It does not mean that women are to be tried by women, Asian-Americans by Asian-Americans, or African Americans by African Americans.
Reasonable doubt: The burden of proof that is required before a defendant may be convicted of a crime. The burden is on the prosecution to prove a fact with a high degree of certainty.
Peremptory challenge: The right of the plaintiff and the defendant in a jury trial to have a juror dismissed before trial without stating a reason. This challenge is distinguished from a “challenge for cause” (reason) based on the potential juror admitting bias, acquaintanceship with one of the parties, or their attorney, personal knowledge about the facts, or some other basis for believing he/she might not be impartial.
Reasonable doubt: Not being sure of a criminal defendant’s guilt to a moral certainty. Thus, a juror (or judge sitting without a jury) must be convinced of guilt of a crime (or the degree of crime, as murder instead of manslaughter) “beyond a reasonable doubt,” and the jury will be told so by the judge in the jury instructions.
Voir Dire examination: Voir dire consists of oral questions asked of prospective jurors by the judge, the parties, or the attorneys, or some combination thereof. This oral questioning, often supplemented by a prior written questionnaire, is used to determine whether a potential juror is biased, knows any of the parties, counsel, or witnesses, or should otherwise be excluded from jury duty. Voir dire is a tool used to achieve the constitutional right to an impartial jury, but it is not a constitutional right in itself.

In the Topic 2 and Topic 3 assignments, you completed a qualitative and quantitative research critique on two articles for each type of study (4 articles total). Use the feedback you received from your instructor on these assignments to finalize the critical analysis of each study by making appropriate revisions.
The completed analysis should connect to your identified practice problem of interest that is the basis for your PICOT question.
Refer to “Research Critiques and PICOT Guidelines – Final Draft.” Questions under each heading should be addressed as a narrative in the structure of a formal paper.
Proposed Evidence-Based Practice Change
Discuss the link between the PICOT question, the research articles, and the nursing practice problem you identified. Include relevant details and supporting explanation and use that information to propose evidence-based practice changes.
