Court-stacking, as well as gerrymandering, are similar to each other because in both instances they seek to gain an unfair advantage in some way. With court stacking, both sides of a case seek to stack a jury that will either be for or against a defendant's best interest. In these cases, based on race, ethnicity, or any other reason outside of evidence, and legal principle. Gerrymandering re-districts Congressional districts in a way that will be helpful to a particular political party.

What is Susie's Law?

Susie's Law, or House Bill 1609, reclassifies the "malicious abuse, torture or killing" of an animal as a Class H felony. That increases the penalties for animal cruelty to a maximum 10-month jail sentence. The law is named after Susie, now a pit bull-shepherd mix. As a puppy, Susie was beaten, set on fire and left to die. Susie survived, was rescued and has been adopted. She lost her ears, though, and still bears scars. Lashawn Whitehead, 21, of Greensboro, was convicted of felony cruelty to animals and sentenced to probation. Advocates of Susie's Law said they were outraged that state law allowed White to be sentenced only to probation.


Who invented pepper spray?

The use of pepper as a weapon goes all the way back to ancient China. The Chinese would put red chili pepper on rice paper as a weapon and swing it to the face of their opponents. The Japanese ninja were also known to use ground pepper against their enemies. During the Tukagawa Empire in Japan, the police would use a box called; metsubishi, which was filled with pepper and blown into a prisoner's eyes as a way of torture. Tear gas was invented in Germany in the 1800's and it is included in some Mace brand pepper sprays today. The US introduced pepper spray through the US Postal Service in the 1980's as a dog repellent. Our government also used it for protection against bears and other animals. The FBI endorsed it as an "official chemical agent" in 1987 and by 1991, there were over 3,000 law enforcement agencies that utilized it. As you can tell, even though pepper spray is a simple product, it really does a great job in deterring violent individuals or animals!


Can a 12 year old date a 16 year old?

Hi = ) I'm 12 and I ended up dating a 16 well 15 year old. It didnt go to well. We talked and we wer into the same stuff and we liked each other. But it just turned out he wanted sex. So we broke up. A girl I knew who set us up dated sum1 around 16 and It didnt go well either. i hope this will help. Ur guy might be different. u should go for it if u feel comfortable with it!Answer:Date? Yes. However, there is little a 16 year old would have in common with a 12 year old. The previous answer bears this out. In the event that it was purely platonic, even the suggestion of any sort of sexual contact could potentially put the 16 year old in jeopardy, for life.
