Compare and contrast the issues, legal considerations, and concepts that arise from initial investigation through adjudication of the case, depending on which level of court in which they are adjudicated on a selected criminal case
You will select a contemporary criminal case of your choosing, either federal or state. The essence of this assignment is to compare and contrast the issues, legal considerations, and concepts that arise from initial investigation through adjudication of the case, depending on which level of court in which they are adjudicated. The write-up of the case must incorporate all aspects of the criminal justice system—from investigation, to arrest, evidence, court proceedings, and eventually sentencing. Would there be a significant difference if adjudicated in the other court? Would the punishment be more or less severe? Is the evidence handled differently?
