Lesson 22 Response

In the course of stealing and destroying evidence, Monika committed several other crimes—mugging a police officer, setting fire to a crime scene, and breaking into the police station. Her actions have directly threatened public safety and have made it difficult to prosecute other criminals. Someone will have to pay to repair the damage caused by the fire and break-in.

Lesson 24 Response:

Mabel Livingston is clearly guilty of hiring a private detective to cover up her son’s crimes. This led to property damage and left her son, Louis, free to make trouble. However, Ms. Livingston is an elderly woman. She has a long history of supporting charities and the community. She seems to care about people and is not likely to hurt people intentionally.Prosecutors could charge Ms. Livingston with crimes such as obstruction of justice or conspiracy to destroy evidence. In most states, a typical sentence for those crimes would involve up to a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.

Lesson 26 Response:

Imagine you are the probation officer asked to develop presentence investigation reports (PSIs) for Ms. Livingston, Louis Livingston, and Monika (the private detective). Choose one of these characters. Use the information you recall from the story to outline the PSI. Focus on identifying key information, not on writing complete sentences. Fill in each section in the table. Depending on the character you choose, you may not have information for every section. In that case, just write “unknown.”
