Please look into the Research Method and Writing Structure and follow that as the guideline. Your task would be to make Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of the paper. Review the questions in the Research Questions. Number 2 of the RQ is addressed in Ch 2 and number 3 in RQ #.

Chapters 9 & 10 (Read pages 166 – 203). Eyewitness Testimony – A multimedia presentation to demonstrate your creativity and communication skills while showcasing your understanding of the usefulness of this aspect of the criminal justice system. (100 points) You must find scholarly resources on this topic (no Wiki or other general Google information, no AI, resources should be within the last ten years and found in journal articles, government websites, or books). Learning Objectives: 9-1 Compare and contrast the federal and state court systems. 9-2 Identify the similarities and differences between criminal courts and state courts. 9-3 Define the roles of each of the members of the courtroom work group. 9-4 Describe basic courtroom practices and procedures. 9-5 Identify the steps involved in conducting a courtroom trial. 9-6 Summarize the role of the forensic psychologist in courtroom procedures. 10-1 Identify the effects of deinstitutionalizing psychiatric facilities. 10-2 Describe three different types of specialized courts and the purpose of such courts. 10-3 Explain the conditions under which a forensic psychologist has a duty to warn others of a potentially dangerous client. 10-4 Describe the manner in which competence to stand trial may be assessed. 10-5 Compare and contrast guilty but mentally ill and not guilty by reason of insanity. Final Assignment Details: Despite advances in forensic science, eyewitness testimony remains a critical component of criminal investigations. But psychological research has revealed the dangers of relying on this testimony and how careful the police must be when questioning witnesses. Witnesses often only identify somebody about 40% of the time from a line up. Sometimes the suspect that’s been identified isn’t actually the culprit. The video you watched in week 1 begins by exploring some serious miscarriages of justice. Featuring a real eyewitness whose testimony sent the wrong man to prison. There had been misidentification.. It wasn’t malicious intent, it wasn’t racially motivated– but it didn’t matter, because the end result was Ronald Cotton spent a third of his life in prison for something he didn’t do. Watch the video prior to completing this assignment. For this final assignment create a digital presentation that incorporates your choice of various forms of multimedia, such as audio, video, graphics, and animations, to present research findings and analysis on the topic of use of eyewitness testimony in criminal cases. You get to choose the end product. It can be a power point with multiple components. This assignment is worth 100 points and full credit will not be given for a 2 minute video or 3 slide PowerPoint. In every criminal justice career you will likely be given tasks without a specific set of instructions. A large part of what you should be learning is how to review material and relay it in a professional way. This is why I don’t add tons of specifications to my assignments. I am giving you the opportunity to practice for your future career. The presentation will explore the accuracy of eyewitness testimony, the factors that can influence its reliability, and the potential implications for the criminal justice system. The presentation should include a discussion of potential solutions to the problems associated with eyewitness testimony, such as the use of alternative identification procedures or the use of expert witnesses in court. I asked chatGPT: What are good prompts for a writing assignment for forensic psychology students regarding the dangers of eyewitness testimony? “Here are some writing prompts for a forensic psychology assignment on the dangers of eyewitness testimony: Analyze the limitations and potential dangers of eyewitness testimony in criminal investigations. Discuss factors that can influence the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness accounts and explain how these limitations can lead to wrongful convictions. Compare and contrast the reliability of eyewitness testimony versus other forms of evidence, such as DNA evidence or video surveillance footage. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each type of evidence and the implications for the criminal justice system. Examine the role of memory in eyewitness testimony. Discuss the malleability of memory and how post-event information and suggestive questioning can distort the accuracy of eyewitness accounts. Provide examples and discuss the implications for the legal system. Explore the impact of cross-racial identification on the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. Discuss research findings on the potential for misidentification in racially diverse settings and the challenges this poses for fair and just legal proceedings. Investigate the influence of lineup procedures on eyewitness identification accuracy. Discuss the different types of lineup methods, such as simultaneous or sequential lineups, and their respective impact on identification accuracy. Consider the role of administrator bias and the potential for mistaken identifications. Discuss the use of expert testimony in challenging eyewitness testimony. Explain the role of forensic psychologists in providing expert opinions on eyewitness identification and their contribution to the legal system in evaluating and interpreting eyewitness evidence. Critically analyze real-life cases where mistaken eyewitness identifications have led to wrongful convictions. Discuss the factors that contributed to the errors and evaluate the subsequent impact on the individuals involved and the criminal justice system as a whole. Examine the legal and procedural reforms aimed at minimizing the dangers of eyewitness testimony. Discuss best practices, such as the use of double-blind lineup procedures and the importance of proper eyewitness instructions, in order to enhance the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness identification. These prompts can serve as starting points for students to conduct research, evaluate empirical evidence, and develop well-supported arguments regarding the dangers and limitations of eyewitness testimony in forensic psychology.”

Please submit your term paper using Microsoft Word (either as a .doc file or a .docx file). If you do not have access to Microsoft Word you may submit your file as a PDF.  However, Microsoft Word is much preferred.  Please only submit the paper as one file.  If you have a second file – e.g., a bibliography – please include that material into the one main file (in other words, into the Term Paper file itself).
When you submit your paper, please print a copy of a your confirmation notice (and, of course, keep on your computer a copy of your paper). If a technology error occurs and your paper cannot be accessed, you will need to show us that notice.
The term paper folder may appear on all students’ pages (even those students who did not submit an outline).  However, only those students who submitted an outline are permitted to submit a term paper.   
__________________________________________
In the papers themselves, a common failing, among other things, is the absence of sources for various statements which are not yours (that you got from somewhere but have not cited).  Put in footnotes one or more sources for every statement that you make which should require documentation (that is not simply your own thought).   
Law sources for your paper can be found from many avenues – Findlaw, Justia, Cornell Law School digital library, Lexis-Nexis (this one is available in the digital databases for the UF Libraries) and many others. 
The completed paper should be from 2,200 to 2,800 words, not counting the citations. 

Please draft the new discussion post based of my initial post and argue the defense with my classmates post

Instructions: In a short, argumentative essay of up to 750 words (excluding citations), explain whether you agree, disagree, or partially agree/disagree (specifying which elements) with the following:
Prompt: “In 2022 the Roberts Court announced two groundbreaking ‘history and tradition’ decisions in the fields of reproductive rights and gun rights, Dobbs v. Jackson and NYRPA v. Bruen. While Living Constitutionalists criticized these decisions as out of step with modern values, both decisions increased democratic legitimacy by returning policy decisions to elected legislatures where they belong. History is a useful source of moral and legal guidance and an emphasis on tradition ensures the stability of the rule of law. While Originalism can be difficult to implement consistently, it is nonetheless an important constraint on dangerous judicial overreach that threatens individual rights.”
Material to Cover: In your essay be sure to include references to course readings and materials. Secondary articles by Post and Siegel, Siegel, Lund, Levin, Bazelon, and Posner would be especially helpful.
Advice: A good example of an Op-ed we read for class is Linda Greenhouse, “Religious Doctrine, Not the Constitution, Drove the Dobbs Decision” for lecture 11.
Citations: Citations should be either parenthetical or footnotes and include the name of the author or case name, title, year, and page number (if citing to a specific passage). You may use APA, MLA, or Chicago style of reference, as long as you are consistent throughout the essay.
Additional Research: You may do additional research beyond course readings, but it is not required to write a successful essay. If you choose to do additional research, you must clearly cite these sources with enough information for the teaching team to find the source.
Word Limit: For every 50 words over the word limit of 750 (excluding citations), 1 point will be deducted from the total score.
