QUESTION 9

• There is a moth in England called the peppered moth. Before Britain’s industrial revolution, these moths were usually “salt and pepper” colored. Because of their coloring, they blended in well with the tree trunks on which they tend to rest. The coloring helped them hide from the birds that ate them. During the British industrial revolution, industry expelled a lot of soot from the burning of coal into the environment. This soot darkened the tree trunks and it was noted that black colored moths were becoming predominant. The idea is that with soot in the environment, black colored moths fair better than light colored moths. There is some debate as to whether this is actually the case or not, but for the sake of this question, let’s assume it is.

  In this context, review chapter 11.2 and the four observations. In your own words, explain how the concepts from the four observations discussed in 11.2 relate to the evolution of the peppered moth described above.

  Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

BCJ 3301 UNIT III DISCUSSION BOARD QUESTION (DUE DATE 02/9/19)

I have to comment on my classmate discussion board question and this is what they wrote

The benefits of the adversarial system is that is uses the checks and balances within our legal system to not only protect the rights of the accused but also to ensure a proper and speedy trial. With each side (Prosecution and Defense) being allowed to put on their case, review evidence and witness testimony in front of the jury or judge, a proper and knowledgeable decision can be made regarding the outcome. Some of the drawbacks can be that depending on how well on side puts on their case, regardless of evidence, a guilty person may be cleared as well as a potentially innocent person convicted. While it is not flawless, it is the system we use today and has been supported through numerous successful court proceeding and appeals.

Judicial Research

Unit IV discussed judges. To learn more about these individuals who are involved in the court system, select and research a judge who is currently serving on the courts in your state or local area. You are required to use at least four sources for this assignment (at least one should be from the CSU Online Library). Other sources could include newspapers, magazines, or professional journals.

Your research could include:

• the background and education of the judge,
• how the judge was selected for the court in which he or she presides,
• the training of the judge,
• challenges the judge has faced in his or her career (this could involve a particular case that was a challenge),
• recent cases, or
• your opinion whether this judge was adequately prepared for the position.

Present your research in a PowerPoint Presentation of at least 10 slides (not including the title and references slides). All sources used, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA style.

JUDGE WILL BE PAUL MARTIN NEWBY FROM NORTH CAROLINA
