    Criminal Defense Analysis

    • 881 Words
    • 3 Pages

    One of the greatest right’s we have in America is the right to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It is ultimately the job of the prosecutor to prove to the people, the jury and to the court that the accused is in fact guilty of a crime. The accused either has his own or appointed attorney to present his various defenses to argue why he acted the way he did during the crime. According to Criminal Law Today, “A defense consists of evidence and arguments offered by a defendant and his or her attorneys to show why that person should not be held liable for a criminal charge” (Schmalleger 2010, pg. 114). This paper will discuss various forms of criminal defenses and how they are used in court.…

    Trial Judges are appointed to ensure justice in courtroom proceedings. Judges are also responsible with safeguarding both rights of the accused, and interests of the public. By doing so, this keeps the prosecutor grounded by making sure guilt is established of the accused as required by criminal law. The workgroup interact with each other daily. While the judge oversees the procedure, the prosecutor, defense attorney, and public defenders help to create a visual that is easy for the judge to see what happened. Prosecuting attorneys are the primary representatives of the people, by virtue of belief that the accused violated a criminal law and that the public knows about it. The defense attorney represents the accused by making sure that the defendant’s civil…

    Courtroom Workgroup

    • 1094 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The courtroom workgroup is a mechanism for prosecutorial discretion. Various techniques are used to convince the defendant that the evidence against him or her is overwhelming. “Charge stacking” is a process by which police and prosecutors create case with numerous charges or numerous instances of the same charge to convince the defendant that the risk of not pleading guilty is intolerable. The defendant may be convinced to plead guilty to a few of the charges in return for not being prosecuted for the remaining charges. Because the courtroom workgroup deviates from the public consensus of how justice works, it has developed a deviant set of virtues to continue its work and facilitate daily life for its participants. ("Courtroom Workgroup", n.d.) This group interacts daily to make sure that rules are being followed in each individual group but also to make sure it is given in a timely manner. The courtroom work group needs to communicate in order to offer plea bargains and choose jurors. The role of the prosecutor is to protect the government or community’s best interests. With that being said, the prosecutor must take cases based on the facts of each case and the evidence provided. If the prosecutor did not do this and took every case under less stringent requirements it could leave many cases going to trial with a…
