Street Law: March 12-16

This week we will begin to investigate the different defenses available to people accused of crimes. Some hot topics for this week are self-defense and the insanity defense. We will also begin looking at the criminal justice process, which begins with the investigation. Items to be discussed will include arrest, search and seizure, interrogations, and confessions. We will examine what the rights people have during this process, as most of them are contained within the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.
