Recently we have decided to put Mr. Jack Merridew on trial for the death that have occurred on the island. I have been chosen as the judge. To prepare for my role I decided I would learn more about judges as to what they do in the court.
Q: What is a judges main purpose in the courtroom?
A: The main purpose of a judge is to hold hearings between two disputing parties and maintain order between the parties. They also ensure that all rules and legal procedures are followed throughout the trial.
Q: What powers do judges have in the court?
A: They can allow or over rule objections to info the opposing has given. They also have the power to both allow or deny motions to dismiss and post trial motions. These motions are when the defense ask the judge to acquit the defendant, before the jury can render a verdict. But usually the judge will deny these motions though.
Q; What do judges have to do with sentencing?
A: If the defendant is found guilty then the judge will sentence the defendant to jail time, time in prison, community service, house arrest, or probation.
Q: What if the defendant is found not guilty?
A: If the jury renders a verdict of not guilty then the defendant is let free to go.
