As sworn officers of the court, prosecutors are required to base their decisions of whether to prosecute solely on ____________.
Without going into the specifics of the charge, the defendant was found guilty of violating an obscure state law in a county court. Since the law was enacted a century ago, not a single person has been charged with violating it in the state. As a result, this case was essentially new territory for state prosecutors and the presiding county court judge. The case is being appealed. The defense attorney is confident that the verdict will be overturned based on a failure of what they perceive as the judge not abiding by precedent. This claimed precedent refers to a recent highly publicized case in another state that involved a similar law. As a noted legal scholar, the state judiciary has called you in to assess the validity of the appeal. When asked for your preliminary thoughts by a senior state prosecutor, specifically if you believe the judge failed to follow precedent in offering his opinion, how do you respond
In the situation described and following the definition and common use cases of precedent, I would confirm that it is my opinion that the judge in question did in fact fail to follow precedent.
Precedent is described as a past event and/or action which is used as a guide when considering the course of action for a similar situation. Given the keyword "similar" in this definition, it can be argued that in order for precedent to apply to a situation, it is not necessary for the details of each situation to be identical.
Therefore, the defense attorney can argue the failure to follow precedent based solely on the similarly obscure nature of each law. Furthermore, if the defense attorney is able to procure evidence of past infractions of this law for which no charges were upheld, it would almost certainly result in the appeal being granted and the subsequent review of the law in question.

Write a paragraph that explains which insurance you think is the most needed and why?
Answer:
Health insurance is the single most important type of insurance you'll ever buy. That's because if you don't have health insurance and something goes wrong, it's not just your money at risk, it's your life.
Health insurance is intended to pay for the costs of medical care. Many people get health insurance through employers who subsidize premiums, meaning the employer pays the bulk of your premium, and you chip in a little with each paycheck.If you don't have employer-sponsored health insurance, you'll need to buy health insurance on the individual market. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, you may be able to buy subsidized insurance on a state or federal exchange and get tax credits that help you afford the cost of monthly premiums. The specific coverage you get when you buy health insurance depends which policy you select. Your options include:
Low-deductible health plans: Low deductible health insurance plans are plans that keep your out-of-pocket costs for care low. You will pay higher premiums for these plans, since they provide more coverage. Your costs are more predictable since you'll know what your premiums are up front and you never have to worry about paying thousands of dollars if you end up needing medical services. High-deductible health plans: High-deductible health plans (HDHPs) have low premiums, meaning you pay less up front each month just to be covered. But the trade-off is that you're responsible for covering routine basic care, because your deductible -- or the amount you pay with your own money before insurance kicks in to pay the rest-- is typically several thousand dollars. With many high-deductible health plans, you can open a Health Savings Account (HSA) and contribute pre-tax funds to it that can be used to pay for medical costs as you incur them.
Catastrophic health plans: Catastrophic health plans are the cheapest in terms of premiums, but provide virtually no coverage for care unless you incur many thousands of dollars in medical costs. The deductibles are even higher than that of a typical high-deductible plan. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs): With an HMO network, you are restricted to receiving care from a specific network of participating doctors. These doctors are referred to as being in-network and they have agreed to accept rates for care set by your insurance company. You will need a referral from a primary care physician to see a specialist. Most HMOs define "specialist" to include anyone other than your primary care physician. This could include obstetricians, dermatologists, psychologists, chiropractors, and more.
Preferred provider organizations (PPOs): With PPOs, you don't have to get a referral to see a specialist. And while care will be cheaper if you pick a doctor who is in network, you'll have better coverage for out-of-network care than with an HMO. Exclusive provider organizations (EPOs): EPOs don't require that you get a referral to see a specialist, but will pay nothing for out-of-network care except in emergencies.Point-of-service plan: A point-of-service plan pays for in-network and out-of-network care, although you'll pay more if you see a doctor out-of-network. A primary care doctor will need to make referrals to specialists when needed.
Try to match your policy to your care needs out of what's available and offered to you. If you're someone who doesn't incur a lot of health expenses, a high-deductible health policy may be the most affordable solution. But if you see the doctor often for any number of reasons, get a policy with higher premiums but more comprehensive coverage and a lower deductible, so you don't go broke paying for all your services. Every health insurance plan is required to cover certain basic services before your deductible is met, like preventative care. The law also mandates insurance companies cannot charge more for a health insurance policy if the person has a pre-existing condition. The price of health insurance is based upon your age, geographic area, and whether you're a smoker. Insurers are prohibited by Obamacare from considering your gender, race, or past medical history.
Without exception, absolutely everyone needs health insurance because even a minor medical issue can become extremely expensive. Major medical issues can come with astronomical costs, as a single hospital stay or surgical procedure could cost many thousands of dollars. You can sign up for health insurance only at certain times of the year during "open enrollment", which is a designated period when anyone can buy coverage, unless you have a qualifying event, such as losing coverage because of a divorce or job change. Visit Healthcare.gov to find out when open enrollment is on the Obamacare exchanges, or check with your employer to see when you can sign up if your employer provides insurance as a job benefit.

is there a difference between not guilty and acquitted
A defendant was on trial for having committed a murder in 1995. Taking the stand, the defendant denied being present in the city where the murder occurred at the time of the killing. The prosecution sought to admit into evidence a copy of the local newspaper published the day after the killing. The newspaper contained an article in which the defendant was quoted as stating that he had heard shots on the day of the murder from inside his apartment. The defendant objected to the introduction of this evidence. Should the judge admit the newspaper article into evidence
This is based on who is telling the truth. The defendant denys being in the city at the time of the murder, but then a local newspaper states that he heard gunshots from inside his apartment the day of the murder (which would be impossible if he wasn't in the city at the same of the murder). There could also be a chance that the newspaper could be lying mainly because the defendant objected that the evidence was correct. In this case, the judge should take this into consideration especially when a local newpaper article announced that the defendant heard gunshots after saying that he was never in the city. So I would say, the newspaper article could be evidence to prove that the defendant is responsible for the murder.

Someone you know gets a perfect score on the SAT. What personal, family, and social characteristics do you think they have
If someone gets a perfect score on the SAT, they will most likely have 1 to no friends because she or he would be studying all the time. The reason she or he may be studying all the time may be because of their family. Their parents may push them too hard which made them feel like they have to get straight A's and it is a way of making their parents proud. On the other hand, they might have also be living in a poor area. Most kids from a young age may see their parents and where they are at now and use that as something that pushes them to do good in life to get out of an area like that. They are not social at all and they most likely are a teacher's pet. They never go to parties or get in trouble. They most likely have a perfect attendance.
