The worst thing that could happen with an internship is to not get a solid job offer.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Scenario: You are a juvenile judge listening to arguments from the defense and the prosecution in a sentence hearing of a 15-year-old violent sex offender. The prosecutor is requesting prison time in an adult facility. The defense wants his client sentenced to a juvenile specific program. In hopes of obtaining a lighter sentence, the defense attorney explains that his client received low grades in school before dropping out and was diagnosed with ADHD in fourth grade. The defense attorney adds that his client didn't hurt either victim on his two prior rapes and didn't intend to hurt the victim on this rape case. The defense attorney further adds that his client was acting under a dare from his gang peers.
  Question: Which of these factors brought up by the defense attorney, if any, would be possible mitigating factors?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The answer should include an adequate amount of the following information:
 Factors that tend to show diminished responsibility for juveniles include:
 1 ) They are substantially different from adults in moral, cognitive, and social development;
 2 ) They are particularly different in cognitive decision making from adults when they have low average intelligence;
 3 ) They are different from adults when they have learning disabilities;
 4 ) They also may not understand the language of a Miranda warning well enough to make a valid waiver;
 5 ) They often make choices in terms of plea-bargaining that reflect compliance with authority as well as psychological immaturity.
 Prior rapes and gang affiliation are aggravators to the argument instead of mitigating factors.
 The intent of hurting the victim is not an element in a sexual assault. It might mitigate a battery
