The Judge formally reads the charges, advises Mark of his rights, and appoints him an attorney
during his initial court appearances. Mark posts bail while he awaits his arraignment. You are
working with a Criminal Justice university course. The professor has asked you to create a case
study on this case that will provide her students with a real world situation that demonstrates
the basics of the class. Your case study must:
Identify, define, examine, and discuss the crimes committed in the above scenario.
Demonstrate your knowledge of the criminal justice process that occurred in this scenario.
Evaluate the beginning and end of the involvement of the criminal justice system in this
scenario. Research your state's view on deaths related to DUI offenses and the potential that
this crime could be classified as murder. Relate each involvement to the Court system or
Criminal Justice System as a whole.
Propose a possible "next step" for Mark and the case. Compare and contrast his possible
options. What systems of the Criminal Justice System will be accessed with each option?
Consider Mark's rights as a defendant in this scenario from postarrest through awaiting trial.
Examine the rights of the victims as they related to the criminal justice process.
If these crimes were committed in a state that has a Grand Jury system, discuss where in the
series of steps the Grand Jury would hear evidence in this case.
