Today was our final preparation day for our trial. We will host a dry run for periods 3 and 5 tomorrow and all three will hopefully complete the trial and perhaps even deliberations. If we are successful we will wrap up Chapter 16 on Thursday and test on Friday.

Our work yesterday in Chapter 16 went well. We analyzed videos to determine the type of crime against property we witnessed and we also began learning about misdemeanors and felonies. Today we'll focus on victimless crime, organized crime, white collar crime, and what can cause crime. We'll also continue preparing for our trial and analyze York County crime statistics via the web. 5-28-10 PowerPoint

Our first day here with Chapter 16 is going well. We are scheduled to take a look at the two main categories of crime (felony and misdemeanor) and then some of the more specifics regarding different types of crime, such as crime against persons or property. 5-27-10 PowerPoint Chapter 16, Section 1 Note Guide
 * Homework**: Judges and Jurors should feel comfortable with battered child syndrome and trial procedure. Having your notes close to finished for this section would be useful. Courtroom reporters should be familiar with the facts of the case and the various types of murder and with battered child syndrome, so they can spend their time interviewing tomorrow during class. Lastly, lawyers and witnesses should be familiar with battered child syndrome and their statements and murder charges so they can focus tomorrow on question preparation.
