Assignment Content
Question Imagine you are a criminal justice professional working for a superior court judge. Your judge has been asked to re-sentence a defendant in a criminal case due to the case being sent back to the trial court after an appeal or post-conviction issue. He would like you to provide him with a memorandum of the history of the case and how the defendant can be re-sentenced.
Preparation
Search the University Library or the internet for trials using parameters such as, but not limited to, “watch criminal trials online.” If you cannot locate a video of the trial, you may review court documents for the trial. Note: The trial must be concluded in order to write the paper.
Choose a criminal trial from within the last 10 years. The trial should be a major felony case such as murder, armed robbery, burglary, aggravated battery, attempted murder, etc. You may choose:
A trial from the state you currently live in or lived in when you were a child
A trial from the federal jurisdiction in your current area or where you lived as a child
Note: If the trial was not sent back to the trial court on appeal or post-conviction, you may assume that it was in order to complete your synopsis.
