PSA #5

I chose this because I don't like the idea of obesity. I think people should be able to get out and have some fun and get some excercise.

I like how this PSA had two siblings together and it seemed like this would really happen and that's what I want my PSA to be like.

PSA #4

I don't agree that they should be making them pay for aborions and won't pay for his surgery. I would feel horrible if that happened to my grandparents.

I would want to bring the people in like it pulled me in and actually listen to what they were saying. I might even consider using a couple or something like that.

PSA #3

I chose this one because I think it's important to have parents in your life and I wouldn't want to lose eithe rof mine.

I think I could use how the people connect in the PSA, like between the Dad and daughter.

PSA #2

I chose this PSA because I agree that everyone should get the H1N1 shot. I could use the element of bright colors and upbeat music like in the video.

Public Service Announcements (PSA)

I chose this PSA because it is about high school kids that are trying to dropout and I think it is improtant to stay in school. The element I could use from this is probably an expert oppinion, in this video it was President Barack Obama.

5th - 8th Amendments.

Witness- to see, hear, or know by personal presence and perception: to witness an accident.

Indict- to bring a formal accusation against, as a means of bringing to trial

Testify- give or afford evidence.

Grand Jury- a jury, at common law, of 12 to 23 persons, designated to inquire into alleged violations of the law in order to ascertain whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant trial.

Due Process- the regular administration of the law, according to which no citizen may be denied his or her legal rights and all laws must conform to fundamental

Capital Punishment- punishment by death for a crime

Excessive- going beyond the usual

Bail- property or money given as surety that a person released from custody will return at an appointed time.

Peer- a person of the same legal status

Do you believe that people accused of crimes deserve all of these rights or just some of them? Why or why not?

I believe that most of these are reasonable. But I dont agree with, you can only be tried once for a crime because what if one of your family members is murdered and you saw the killer do it and the jury thought differently. Then eventually you the police get more evidence on it but the killer can't be tried again even if thy can prove that he/she actually comitted the crime. Also I don't agree with the death penalty because it's not right if they did something wrong then you go and kill them? That makes no sense at all. I think they should just get life in prision or something more reaonable.
