Scenarios:
(KCH) At the White Rose Invitational Track meet on May 5 the weather was cold and raining as usual. However the bad weather did not denture any athletes as 21 different schools showed up for the event and all were ready to compete. As with all sports there was a favorite team to win the meet, that team this year just so happened to be Dallastown. Throughout the meet Central York and Dallastown were neck in neck, taking first and second in almost all of the sprinting, distance, jumping, and throwing events. Dallastown expecting to win did not anticipate the strong competition from Central York and was not happy about it. Last event was the four by 400 meter relay both teams were tied for points. Both anchors were tied at the 200 meter mark Central tried to make a move for the lead in the last 150 meters of the race the Dallastown runner decided no one would see it if he cut off the Central anchor so, he did. Dallastown won the race because of cutting off the Central runner. However the official decided that cutting off another runner was unsportsman like conduct and disqualified the Dallastown relay team costing Dallastown the overall first place position. The anchor for the Dallastown relay team thought that Central’s head coach had pointed out him cutting off the Central runner. So, in his rage he walks up to Central’s head coach and punches him in the back.

(HM) Ted was bored one day, so he decided to look up online how to make explosives and weapons. He eventually found a website that taught how to make certain weapons of mass destruction. With ted being so good at making weapons and explosives, he decides to make one of the weapons that was on the website and test it out when he is finished. Once ted was done with making the weapon he went out in his backyard and tested his new weapon that he made. When ted did it something went wrong and ended up blowing up one of his neighbors sheds.

(LD) A mother and her 4-year-old daughter were living in a small apartment together. They didn’t have much money because the mother lost her job and didn’t have much saved up. One day the daughter got sick with a fever and was having trouble breathing, but the mother thought it was a cold so she just left her daughter alone. The daughter was still sick after a few days, but the mother didn’t want to spend the money to go to the doctors because she was saving up to get a new purse. A few days later the mother went to check on her daughter and she wasn’t breathing, the daughter died overnight from whooping cough. If she was taken to the doctors when the mother realized she was sick they could have given the daughter medicine to get better, and she would still be alive.


 * Hot Questions (HH): **

1. Should anyone who simply conspires to commit a terroristic act be able to be charged/convicted of terrorism, or do you believe that the violent offense is necessary to be convicted?  2. Because the definition of an Assault by a Prisoner and Aggravated Assault (which is a first degree felony) are very similar, should the statute of Assault by a Prisoner be considered a first degree felony instead of a second degree felony? Why or why not? **Local Example: ** On new years eve while a father and daughter where at home, Ashley the two month old daughter suffered from traumatic brain injuries. The father attempted cpr but it did not work. He called the police a couple hours after she died. He was charged with aggravated assault.
