I attended Specialty Court on February 22, 2016 at 1:00 PM. When I arrived to drug court, I felt awkward in terms to not knowing what was going to happen within the courtroom. Upon drug court starting it was an entirely new to me. The judge first called two clients in drug court that were not able to attend. The judge then called a client from “the box.” I honestly did not know that “the box” was for clients of drug court that do not follow the rules. This can be anywhere to, not doing their UA’s, group meetings, job searching, failing a UA and much more. The first client out of “the box” had been none compliment with the rules of drug court. He was then asked by the judge to explain himself as to why he is in the box. The client got very hostile towards the judge along with the counseling staff that he works with. The client was lying to the judge about putting in applications for jobs, and attending his group meetings. The counseling staff were not …show more content…

The guy thought deeply about what he had done to get behind bars. He wrote a letter to the judge about the entire situation. This letter talked about, his belonging getting stolen so when he was last released, he had no clothing and money. The judge got upset with the counseling staff with letting this guy go without his stuff. It was amazing to know that the judge had the client’s best interest at heart. He did not want to let him get out of jail if he was just going to end up back in it within days. However, the judge let the client out of jail.

Then, some client’s had to write up what they wanted to say when they entered a new phase. Or, one client had to speak as an apology for her previous blow up not only at the judge but, her counseling staff as

For the most part I agree with the writer idea. I like what the writer said how the justice was served by the court. Kinkl murdered 4 people and attempted 26 murder case, so he deserve 112 years to be in prison. Even though Kinkl has a mental disorder problem, he was a danger to the community and needed to be watched by the government for the public safety. The audience can clearly see what happened on the Kiniakl cause from the court report that is presented.

He was very sure of his conviction. I believe he made the right one but I don’t think he considered enough the other side. His notes made it seem as though he didn’t really consider that the fight could have been consented to by both parties, which concerns me. I just want to know that both sides and argument were adequately thought through.

He believed that it was unconstitutional to get an increased sentence based on the evidence that was given. His argument was that according to the due process clause it must be proven beyond reasonable doubt to a jury. He claimed it wasn’t constitutional for a judge to make that ruling just based on the evidence presented to him. The main question of this case was whether the fourth amendment requires that an improved maximum prison term for an offense of ten to twenty years be proven with facts beyond the reasonable

When I was eleven years old, I tore my anterior cruciate ligament, more commonly known as the ACL while playing in a football game. Being only eleven years old, this was a pretty unusual injury as most ACL tears do not happen until mid to later teens. Hearing that I tore my ACL was pretty devastating. I did not know much about it, but I knew enough to know I would be out of sports for a long time. The next nine months of my life were spent with one goal in mind: getting back to sports.
