 Chapter  9 – The Exclusionary Rule – Search & Seizure and Chapter 10 – The  Exclusionary Rule – Identification Procedures. After reading these  chapters discuss the exclusionary rule and the exceptions to this rule.  What is the philosophy of the exclusionary rule and how does that apply  here?  
 Brief
Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961).
Katz v. U.S., 389 U.S. 347 (1967).

Question 1:
You will answer the questions below based on the actions displayed in this video below. 
This video is disturbing and may be uncomfortable to watch. To access it click on the following link: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs seen on video assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016Links to an external site.
For this assignment, pretend as if charges were actually filed against Diddy in 2016 as a result of the acts he committed against Cassie.  Hypothetically, he was convicted in a court of law in 2020 of aggravated battery.  The 12-member jury unanimously found him guilty of aggravated battery and now it is time for you the judge to sentence him.
Please answer the questions below based solely on the acts in the video and the conviction for aggravated battery.  You are not to add any additional facts to the case. 
What type of sentencing model would you use to sentence Diddy?
What actual sentence would you impose on Diddy (type and length of sentence)?
What are the “goals of sentencing” that are associated with your selected sentence for Diddy?

Do not use current sentencing strategies to determine your sentence.  You are to discuss what you think is the appropriate sentence for the crime of aggravated battery, not what is already in place in some jurisdictions.  I do not want you researching what sentences states impose for the crime of aggravated battery.  You are also not allowed to overturn his conviction as this assignment is to assess your thoughts about sentencing, not comment on whether he is guilty or not.  Remember, a hypothetical jury already found him guilty.

Question 2:
Chapter 3 discusses diversion programs.  The purpose of diversion in both the juvenile and adult systems is to prevent further involvement with the formal justice process and instead enroll them in community-based treatment programs prior to a court appearance.  Many jurisdictions have set up problem-solving/specialty courts.  Do some independent research and locate a “problem solving” or “specialty court” in the United States.  Answer the following questions in paragraph format:
What is the name of the court and where is it located?
What crime/social problem does this program attempt to solve?
Who is eligible to participate in this program?
What is required of the individuals who participate in this program?
Is the program successful?  Explain with research and support.

Question 3:
Watch the entire video on the boot camp in Miami-Dade County.  After watching the video, answer the questions below in paragraph format:

When did this boot camp open?  Why is it the last boot camp remaining in Florida?
What happens to the participants who do not successfully complete this boot camp?
After watching the video and doing some independent research, do you support the continued use of boot camps for youthful offenders in Florida?  Explain your position using research and data that is not included in the video.  I do not want you citing the data provided inside the video.  What do others say about the effectiveness of boot camps?

Legal and Ethical Scenarios
Select two of the scenarios provided below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments/resolutions and recommendations. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario. Do not copy the scenarios into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Submit the paper to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
Scenario 1—Bankruptcy
Rusty Weaver, a project manager for the Tipton Machinery, filed a petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 7, seeking to discharge $75,000 in credit-card debts and $45,000 in student loans.  Weaver’s wife died and left him with two children, Paul, who attended college, and Diana, who was thirteen years old.  According to Weaver, Diana was an “elite” swimmer who practiced ten to fifteen hours a week and placed between first and third at more than thirty competitive events. Diana was homeschooled with academic achievements that were average for her grade level.  His petition showed monthly income of $5,325 and expenses of $5,200.  The expenses included annual homeschool costs of $8,200 and annual swimming expenses of $5,000.  The expenses did not include college costs for Paul, or airfare for his upcoming summer trip to Europe, and other items.  The trustee allowed monthly expenses of $4,227, with nothing for swimming, and asked the court to dismiss the petition.
If Weaver qualified for Chapter 7, which debts would be discharged?  Which debts would not be discharged?  Why?
Using the median income from your state, does Weaver qualify for Chapter 7?
Should the court grant the trustee’s request?  Does Weaver have other options if the Chapter 7 petition is dismissed?
Explain your answers and support them with relevant scholarly sources.
Scenario II – Organizations and Liability
Vance Armstrong was the sole incorporator of Triathlon Training Inc., a corporation designed to operate a training center for triathletes of all ages. The business was incorporated according to Florida law in January 2015, with Armstrong as the sole director and shareholder. Armstrong contributed $20,000 of starting capital, which was just enough to make minor repairs to the property he purchased for $400,000 with a loan from the bank. The corporation had no liability insurance. On June 15, 2015, the center opened for business. Over the next few months, the corporation operated with a profit.
In July, Armstrong took a two-week vacation in France and used a check written on the company bank account to purchase his airline ticket. In September, Armstrong decided to have the pool resurfaced. Because business had slowed and the corporation’s bank account did not have sufficient funds, Armstrong wrote a personal check to cover the work. Armstrong feared he would not make enough money through the winter to turn a profit, so he decided to work a part-time job selling fitness equipment as an independent contractor for Bowflex. Armstrong used the training center’s office phone to make calls, the copy machine for copies, and the computer for searches. He made a substantial profit, which was maintained in a third bank account not associated with Triathlon Training or his personal account.
On April 1, 2016, a child with a mild learning disability drowned in the pool while training for the local children’s triathlon. The parents brought a suit for wrongful death against Triathlon Training Inc. and against Armstrong in his individual capacity as owner. At the time of the suit, the corporation had less than $2,500 in its bank account. Because of these limited funds, the child’s parents hoped to recover most of their damages directly from Armstrong, who lived in a mansion on the beach.
Will the parents be successful in holding Triathlon Training Inc. liable for the child’s death?
What should the parents argue in order to hold Vance Armstrong liable in his individual capacity? Will the parents prevail? Why or why not?
How could Armstrong have protected himself against this type of potential liability?
Scenario III—Insider Trading
During a session with her doctor, Billy Mooney, Maggie Mason mentioned in confidence the imminent merger of Walgreens with Rite-Aid. Mason’s ex-husband, Gus Mason, was on the board of directors at Walgreens. Mooney communicated the information to a securities broker, Olive Green, who immediately made trades in Walgreen’s securities for her own account and for her customers’ accounts.
Did Mooney, Maggie Mason, Gus Mason, or Olive Green engage in illegal insider trading? Explain the potential culpability of each party. Include possible civil or criminal penalties for each party.
Was the conduct of the parties ethical?
Name your document SU_MBA5005_W4_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.

elect two of the scenarios listed below and explain the best solution for each. Include comments related to any ethical issues that arise. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario.
Scenario I – Business Organizations
Yolanda, Ginny, and Sara met while working for the Campus Subs in Knoxville, Tennessee. Yolanda was attending college to earn a business degree in hospitality. Ginny was attending culinary school to become a chef, and Sara was a recent graduate in sales and marketing. The three ladies decided to open their own soup and sandwich restaurant on wheels, also known as a food truck. They planned to start small with one truck but had big dreams to own a whole fleet of trucks that served a variety of foods.
Yolanda took a business law class and remembers there are several forms for organizing businesses. The ladies have come to you for advice about the various forms of business organizations.
Evaluate three forms of business organizations including advantages and disadvantages related to the business the ladies plan to operate. At least one of the options must be the LLC or LLP.
Select a business form for the friends and defend your choice.
Explain the requirements for starting that form of business in your state.
Scenario 2—LLC Liability
Plaintiffs Karl and Ginny Drake were injured by lead paint while living in a house owned by Riverwood Homes, LLC.  The plaintiffs sued Bill Ding, a member of the LLC at the time it owned the property, alleging that he was liable for their injuries.  Ding had limited involvement with the property.  He has never visited the property, and neither he nor the LLC was aware that the plaintiffs were occupying the property until after the LLC acquired it.  Once they realized this fact, they took legal action to have the plaintiffs removed.  The applicable housing code imposes liability on any individual who “owns, holds, or controls” the title to the property.
Is Ding liable for the plaintiffs’ injuries?
What are the policy arguments in favor of both parties?
Scenario 3—Securities
In 2010, after working at Regions Bank for 6 years, Noah Lott helped found Nova Capital Corporation, a venture capital firm that invested in the technology sectors.  NCC went public in 2012, and Lott served as its CEO and chairman of the board.  Various documents filed with the SEC stated that Lott “earned his MBA in finance from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree in management.”  In fact, he attended Harvard for only year and did not graduate.  After being pressured by a journalist, Lott disclosed the misrepresentation to the NCC board.  The same day, the company issued a press release correcting the statement.
The press responded negatively to “another CEO that lied about his resume” and speculated about “what else might not be right.”  On the day the press release was issued, NCC’s stock price dropped from $33.58 per share to $26.40, but it fully recovered within a six weeks.
Shareholders sued, alleging that the misrepresentation violated section 11 of the 1933 Act, section 10(b) of the 1934 Act, and Rule 10b-5.
Was Lott’s lie about having a college degree material?
Would your answer be the same if a CEO lied about having helped to take a company through an initial public offering and subsequent acquisition by another company and having led a pharmaceutical company from incorporation through human clinical trials and launch of a new drug?
If you were a member of the NCC board, would you be comfortable keeping Lott as CEO once you learned that he had lied about having a college degree?
Scenario 4 – Bankruptcy and Secured Transactions
Coastal Property Restoration (CPR) periodically purchased used restaurant equipment from Slyce Pizza Company. CPR refurbishes and sells restaurant equipment to small restaurants. In December 2015, CPR purchased five used pizza ovens for $25,000. Because of the good relationship between the companies, Slyce financed the ovens for two years; however, Slyce did not obtain a perfected security interest in the ovens. In July 2016, CPR sold four of the ovens to another refurbishing company for $2,000 two days before filing bankruptcy. CPR still owes approximately $20,000 to Slyce for the ovens.
Evaluate the legal and ethical issues associated with CPR’s sale of the pizza ovens before filing bankruptcy. What recourse does Slyce have in recovering the monies still owed on the equipment or the remaining oven?

 Below are the guidelines for the discussion board. Please see attached for instructions and other materials.
Both the prosecutor and the defense attorney are charged with the pursuit of justice, and both must adhere to constitutional mandates in that pursuit of justice. Even so, there are times when appropriate boundaries are distorted, and the prosecution and/or defense exceed those established boundaries.
Based on the course material, lecture notes, and Scripture:
Provide at least one example of exceeding appropriate authority for the prosecution. For the defense.
What are the available remedies when appropriate authority is exceeded? For the prosecution? For the defense?
How can the role of the prosecution and the defense attorney be defended by applying biblical principles?
You must support your analysis/opinions with scholarly sources: course materials, lecture notes, and Scripture as required.
