Answer to Question 1

on the one hand, any type of negotiated justice that lessens the offender's penalty may add insult to the injury
on the other hand, trials can bring events and emotions that some victims don't
want to reexperience

Answer to Question 2

o a mutually satisfactory disposition of the case.
A defendant will plead guilty to the charges against her or him in return for a
o lighter sentence than the law requires. Defendants can also plead guilty and have charges dropped or reduced, which also ends in a reduced sentence. Prosecutors allow plea bargaining because they still get a conviction. If the prosecutor takes the case to tria,l the jury or the judge may not convict the
o defendant. Evidence may be weaker than what the prosecutor initially
anticipated and plea bargaining can save a questionable case.
Some defense attorneys want their clients to take a plea deal because they realize they are guilty and if convicted after a trial, their clients can get a more
o severe penalty. Some defense attorneys want their clients to plead guilty because they want to quickly dispose of the case and work as little as possible while still earning a profit.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
