identify the victims and the defendants, the rights of victims permitted under state law, the procedures to prosecute an accused, and the possible penalties based on the given scenario.

In this assignment, you will identify the victims and the defendants, the rights of victims permitted under state law, the procedures to prosecute an accused, and the possible penalties based on the given scenario.Centervale police officers, Anne and Justin, respond to a report of domestic dispute. There had been a total of nine calls for service, including two in the past year. On the way, Anne informs Justin that this may be a very volatile situation because this couple is constantly in and out of Domestic Violence Court; even though they separate all the time, they always get back together.Here’s What Happened . . .The officers arrive and knock on the door, “Hello! Police, can someone please come to the door?” A man yells “Come in!” from inside the house. They decide not to enter the residence under these circumstances to protect their own safety. Anne asks the man to come outside and speak to them.The door opens. A man, who identifies himself as Mike and a friend of the family, opens the door. He says that Lilly and her husband, Johnny, were just fighting and that there is no problem now. Mike did not appear to be intoxicated but smelled of alcohol. Anne explained that someone has reported a domestic dispute to the police department from this residence and that they were there to check upon the situation. Anne asks Mike if anyone was using any weapons. Mike denied this and said that Lilly was inside the house, ironing clothes. If Anne wanted, she could go and talk to Lilly.Justin stays with Mike while Anne enters the house and calls for Lilly. Lilly says, “Officer, he hit me on the head with his hand and I hit him with the iron.” As this was a mutual assault, Anne stops questioning Lilly and asks Mike what Lilly hit Johnny with. Mike responds, “With the iron.”Anne asks Lilly where Johnny is and she says he was in the dining room. Anne asks Lilly if Johnny has any weapons. Lilly says she did not think he did or at least he did not when he hit her in the head. Anne stays with Mike and Lilly while Justin cautiously enters the house to discover Johnny in fetal position under the dining table.When Justin first approaches him, Johnny is unresponsive but slowly becomes responsive. Justin notices a large contusion on the left side of Johnny’s face when he rolls over to look at Justin. Justin calls for an ambulance, as Johnny was not in a position to answer any questions due to the injury on his head and the possible effects of the shock.Anne continues to question Mike, “Who struck whom first?” Mike responds, “Johnny hit Lilly like he always does when he drinks Jack Daniels and beer, and then Lilly really got mad at Johnny, hit him with the iron, and went back to ironing. I don’t know where Johnny went after that because I was on the couch watching TV and drinking beer.” Anne then asks Mike, “How many times did Lilly hit Johnny with the iron?” Mike responds, “Only once that I saw.”Anne further asks, “How many times did Johnny strike Lilly?” Mike states, “Twice that I saw.”Anne asks how much had they been drinking. Mike responds, “Johnny had been drinking about 4 or 5 bottles of beers and Jack Daniels, Lilly did not drink at all, and I only had half a bottle of beer.”Johnny was taken to the hospital to have the contusion checked. When Johnny was stable, he was questioned and advised of his rights. He describes that he was angry because Lilly did not come home at 4:00 p.m., and he was hungry. He admitted that he had been drinking and struck his wife. The next thing he knew was that he was at the hospital.Submission Details:a minimum of 250 words, post your response to the following questions in the Discussion Area:In this situation, who is the victim and who is the defendant? What are the reasons for your choice?What rights are victims permitted under the law of your state? Use examples to support your response.How should the prosecution proceed in this case?What are the possible penalties that can be imposed in this case?

where do you see traditional nonprofit institutions in the next 10 years?

need the answer to only discuss in blackboard.it should be one page.no need to write as essay , no need for introduction or conclusion. I want to show as my opinion– use words like this. i believe. i thinkanswer all the parts of the questionuse the material to answer the question. and also put opinion.do not write too long sentences.you should write in comprehensive way.They are two questions::Based on our reading for this week, please answer two questions, be sure question two has two parts.1.) The evolving higher education landscape is more complex than ever before, especially with technology changing the landscape of higher education. While traditional institutions are beginning to offer online programs, for-profit institutions have led the way. Not only are they meeting the growing demands of the workforce market, but they’re also meeting the needs of students with less of an expense. Most importantly, they invest in new technology, innovate rapidly and have the ability to quickly shift programs based on student demand and preferences. With this in mind, where do you see traditional nonprofit institutions in the next 10 years? Should administrators at traditional nonprofit institutions be concerned?2.) “With regard to costs, it has been argued that the different institutional norms of the for-profit institutions may enable these providers to reduce costs and achieve greater efficiencies than their peers in the nonprofit sector (Kirp, 2003; Marchese, 1998). The spiraling costs of higher education, at public and private institutions, and the increased burden on individual students, are creating enormous pressure on the nonprofit institutions in the United States and around the world (Duderstadt and Womack, 2003; Ehrenberg, 2000)”Secondly, carefully read the above from page 11; which was quoted in the late 90s and early 2000s. That said, as technology continues to rapidly evolve, and enrollment growth continues to decline while student debt continues to rise, how can traditional institutions ensure that they’re equipped to meet the growing demands of current and future students?Attachments area
