Discuss specific sentencing guidelines in your state and if Robert may face consequences due to the three strikes laws.

Your assignment for this unit is to complete a case study that follows an accused person through the criminal justice system. Use the scenario below for completing your case study.
An arrest warrant was recently issued for Robert for his involvement in the armed robbery of a convenience store. Robert was allegedly driving the getaway car used in the robbery. During the robbery, the convenience store clerk was shot, and the clerk is in the hospital in critical condition. After reviewing surveillance video from the convenience store, police identify and arrest the suspected gunman, who identifies Robert as the driver and says he used Robert’s gun and then stashed it in the trunk of Robert’s car. Police also identify Robert’s car from the tag number in the surveillance video. Robert is no stranger to the criminal justice system. His previous record includes several shoplifting, loitering, and receiving stolen goods misdemeanors and two felony convictions for carjacking over the last 10 years.
Address the criteria listed below in analyzing Robert’s case study scenario.
Describe the search, seizure, and arrest procedures police may follow in this case.
If Robert is convicted of felony charges, describe any sentence guidelines or information (e.g., determinate/indeterminate; mitigating/aggravating) that may affect his sentence, including his previous criminal record. Discuss specific sentencing guidelines in your state and if Robert may face consequences due to the three strikes laws. If Robert’s attorney is able to get his charge reduced to a misdemeanor, how will his sentencing differ?
Using the city and/or state where you live, describe a correctional facility or probation agency where Robert will serve time based on each of the following conviction scenarios. Provide the name, location, and demographics of inmates/probationers at each facility or supervising community corrections agency, and discuss any education or rehabilitation opportunities available at each facility or within the community.
The store clerk who was shot during the robbery dies, Robert’s charges are upgraded, and now Robert may face the death penalty.
Robert is convicted of a lesser felony and is sentenced to state prison for 5 to 10 years.
Robert negotiates a plea bargain and is convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to 10 months in county jail and 3 years on probation.
Your completed case study should be at least two pages in length and include at least three outside sources, one of which may be your textbook. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library.

What is a possible diagnosis and the differential diagnoses for this patient?

David, an 11-year-old boy in fifth grade, was brought for evaluation by his parents who expressed concerns over his anxious behavior regarding developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). David was a well-adjusted boy and who was doing well, but suddenly began to exhibit extremely disruptive behaviors related to his fears of AIDS. This began about four to five months ago. He also began to express concerns about getting sick, to wash his hands frequently, to seek reassurance continually, and to demonstrate rituals and avoidance.

David expressed concern many times that he can get AIDS from looking at a stranger with AIDS. Despite his parents’ reassurance, David insisted on washing or bathing for approximately one hour each time he gets home after being outside. He also began to have difficulty focusing on schoolwork. When reading assigned materials for school, David frequently experienced severe anxiety over possibly missing a word or misunderstanding a sentence, and he would reread the material many times. Eventually, he was not able to complete assignments and his grades began to deteriorate.
