Academic Ethics • If you'd like to review the school's formal policies, please refer to page 5 in the student handbook / planner. • In a nutshell, students should not attempt to pass off someone else's work as their own regardless of whether the original work has been published or not. Read Write Speak Listen

Academic Ethics • Some examples: • You should not copy and paste text from, let's say, Spark Notes and hand that in as if it is your own. • You should not "re-write" (meaning you change the words but use essentially the same ideas) text from, let's say, Spark Notes and hand that in as if it is your own. Read Write Speak Listen

Academic Ethics • Some examples: • You should not use ideas from published material without citing your sources. • You should not copy answers from someone else's homework and turn it in as your own. Read Write Speak Listen

Academic Ethics Here's what I propose.1. If you turned in a writing assignment that is either word-for-word from another source, or substantially the same as another source, I'll ask you to do re-do the assignment. You'll get full credit and the assignment will be considered on time. Read Write Speak Listen

Academic Ethics Here's what I propose.2. From this point forward, if you turn in an assignment that is either word-for-word from another source, or substantially the same as another source, you'll get a chance to do it again, but you will only be eligible for half credit. Read Write Speak Listen

Academic Ethics Here's what I propose.3. From this point forward, if you and a friend "collaborate" on homework such that your answers are essentially the same, neither of you will get credit for the assignment, but you will have an opportunity to do it again. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • CRIME REPORTED • An officer is sent to the crime scene to find out what happened. • An arrest may be made at that time. • The officer will gather evidence and write a report that will be sent to the district attorney's office with a type of charge indicated on the report. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • Police report reviewed by the District Attorney’s office. • The report is evaluated to determine if there is enough evidence to file charges. At this time one of three things will occur: • 1. No charges are filed due to lack of evidence; • 2. Police asked to perform further investigation; or • 3. Charges are filed. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • ARREST - The police arrest the defendant and take him or her to jail. • Then, one of 3 things happens: • 1. The jail lets the defendant out without filing charges, or • 2. The defendant posts bail/bond or is released on his/her own recognizance ("OR"), or • 3. The defendant stays in jail. Law enforcement officers transport the defendant to the court for arraignment. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • GRAND JURY (if the charge is a felony) • A grand jury is a panel of seven people. • The grand jury listens to the witnesses presented by the district attorney's office. • The defendant or the defendant's attorney are not present during the grand jury process. • If 5 of the 7 jurors determines, based upon the witnesses' testimony, a felony crime has been committed, the defendant is indicted. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • ARRAIGNMENT - The arraignment is the first time the defendant appears in court. • A judge (or judicial officer) tells the defendant: • 1. what the charges are, • 2. about his/her constitutional rights, and • 3. that if s/he doesn’t have enough money to hire a lawyer, the court will appoint one. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • Arraignment (continued) • The defendant enters a plea of guilty, not guilty or no contest • In some cases, the judge will let the defendant out of jail on his/her "Own Recognizance". • Or, the judge can set bail and send the defendant back to the jail. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • JURY TRIAL • Before the trial starts, the lawyers choose a jury. During the trial, witnesses may testify and the lawyers present evidence. After all the evidence is presented and the lawyers give their arguments, the jury decides if the defendant is guilty or not guilty. Read Write Speak Listen

Understanding the Criminal Justice Process • If the jury finds the defendant not guilty, s/he will be released. The defendant can never be tried again for the same crime. • If the defendant is found guilty, the case will be continued for sentencing, or the defendant may be sentenced right away. • If the defendant doesn’t agree with the guilty verdict, s/he can appeal to the Court of Appeals or State Supreme Court if it is a death penalty case).
