A dissenting

is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court.

NOT Rated
Due process:
• is a set of procedures designed to make sure
that people are treated fairly by the government;
• is based on the idea that a person cannot be
deprived of life, liberty or property without appropriate legal procedures
and safeguards;
• includes, at least, the right to notice, an
opportunity to be heard, and protection from an unreasonable or capricious
result;
• is a flexible concept and requires different
procedures in different situations; for example, the due process requirements
for a criminal case are more stringent
than due process requirements for a civil case because a criminal conviction
carries potential incarceration, a heavier punishment than mere loss of
money; and
• requires more protections in a court case than
in an administrative proceeding; in an administrative hearing the decision
must be reasonable but it doesn't have to meet the standards of beyond a
reasonable doubt or even a preponderance of the evidence.

Answer
3 Journal Questions:
1. What would
you think about due process if a member of your family was killed and the
killer was acquitted because the prosecutor made mistakes and did not prove
his case?
2. How would you feel if
your relative or they themselves were accused of a crime they did not commit
and then they were convicted and had to go to jail?
3. One of the jurors originally felt that the boy
was guilty because of the neighborhood that he had grown up in. What are the
logical flaws in this argument?
