For this Written Assignment you will be writing a 3 page paper using APA format, 12-point font and standard margins. You are REQUIRED to use a minimum of 3 (three) outside sources to support your points in your paper. Make sure you include a proper reference page.
Select a country that has a criminal system different than the United States and do some research on how that particular county handles crime and criminals (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria, China, etc). Discuss how that country handles such matter and contrast it by discussing in detail how the United States would handle a similar matter both in terms of preliminary matters and in terms of sentencing and appeals.
Next, select a criminal case that was tried in the United States. Take that case and analyze how it would have been handled differently in the country that you selected in comparison to how it was handled in the United States. Be specific in your response and include examples.
At the end of your essay in 75 to 150 words Select a high profile criminal defendant and do a bit of research on that individual. Share a brief summary of the facts and the criminal proceedings. (For example, Jared Loughner, James Holmes, OJ Simpson, Jerry Sandusky, Duke LaCrosse players, Andrea Yates, Casey Anthony, etc). Assume you were required to represent the individual, access the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments you would or could make. Could (or did) your client “beat the wrap” by pleading insanity, slanting their testimony at your urging (and how would they do that) or exploiting legal loopholes such as the exclusionary rule. How realistic do you think such arguments would be?
