What else can I help you with?
How does a confession affect a jury's decision?
Unless the confession is to a crime that the jury does not think should be a crime, then they will return a verdict of "guilty". If they actually do dislike the law, they'll return a verdict of "not guilty", even though they know he/she technically is guilty.
How do you know if you were convicted of a crime?
If you have been convicted of a crime, you have pleaded or been found you guilty by a judge or jury. You can go to the courthouse where you were convicted and ask for a copy of your judgment.
What body language did Scout see that let her know the verdict even before it was announced?
Scout has a feeling that she knows the verdict before she hears it. Right before the jury returns with the verdict, she feels the same way that she did the morning Atticus shot the mad dog. Scout knows that Atticus is doing what needs to be done, but something unhappy or sad will come out of it. The colored people stand out of respect for Atticus. They are appreciative that he tried his best to defend Tom Robinson and put his entire reputation on the line to see justice served.
What earlier events is scout thinking of as she waits for the verdict?
If a lot of people focus on one thing they can accomplish great thingsThey are similar because for both, Scout and Jem are waiting and do not know what will happen.She looks back remembering her dad (Atticus) shooting the sick dog.
How did scout know anout the verdict before she hears it?
The verdict of Tom Robinson was a foregone conclusion because Mayella Ewell was white and Tom Robinson was black. There were severe racial tensions in Maycomb and as soon as Tom was accused of rape the town assumed he was guilty.
How is it determined if your convicted with domestic violence?
The judge hears the accusers side of the story - the accused is granted the opportunity to give their side of the story - the judge renders the decision (or in the case of a jury trial - the jury renders the decision). Either way - you'll know.
How do you get dismissed from a grand jury?
I think you would have to go before a judge and state your case why you should be dismissed. I was asked to be on my local grand jury and had an interview with a judge before hand and I know you sign on for 2 years to be on the jury. I don't think they will let you off with a flimsy excuse.
Will you be charged for not going to jury duty if you move before the date and you cant go?
You should not just ignore the jury-duty summons, call the court and let them know of your situation.
What does scout mean when she says that jem is counting his chickens?
It means that Jem is thinking that Atticus had won the case before the jury had come back with the verdict. I think that is the part where Jem is pounding on the rail saying "we got him, we got him" when Bob Ewell writes his name. Scout dosn't know that Tom is crippled and Bob Ewell is a lefty so he would have beaten up Mayella. Scout dosn't know any of this. She just thinks that Jem is assuming things.
What happens with the Caylee Anthony death. Does it become a coldcase or unsolved. Something needs to be done to find out what really happened to this child?
I think we all know what happened, but the jury has reached its verdict and that's that. She cannot be re-tried on the same charges.
What is a sentence for indictment?
The grand jury has chosen not to indict the Defendant on the charges presented before them.
Can they change not guilty to guilty after they read the verdict on the same day?
Never heard of this happening, but I do not believe that it oculd the way you describe. Once the verdict is announced from the bench - THAT is IT! They would have to re-open the trial, or have a whole other hearing before they could just change the delivered verdict. Would need to know more about the circumstances in order to comment further.
