Police Report Tomas Gonzalez, University of Phoenix CJA/304 February 26, 2013 Oscar N. Ruiz Police Report There ar various types of communication used through the criminal justice process, considering the witness, prosecution, judge, and defense they all have their own element of communication to get their message markingways effectively and to prove their point. Communication for Prosecution and Defense The type of communication used by the prosecution or defense is typi bellyachey more orb than informal and consists mainly of verbal communication.Non-verbal communication becomes more prevalent when arguing points in front of a jury. The prosecution may offer a jam or plea bargain to the defense in an effort to avoid the expense and time involved with a trial. If a deal is not offered or reached, it is likely that the case will go to trial. At trial, the judge governs the communication by either the prosecution or the defense. Each party may butt to something said by the othe r and the judge will rule on if the schooling is acceptable. The two parties will argue their case to the jury and in doing dictate may make use of non-verbal communication to try and sway the jury.I like to view it as the difference between an actor acting as though they have tripped (verbal communication) and someone such as Jerry Lewis or Jim Carey using their physical humor to exaggerate or enhance the trip (non-verbal communication). Communication for the Witness and articulate The Judge uses both oral and pen forms of communication, written forms usually go to the juries which include instructional sheets on how to be a proper juror and written paper work between both prosecution and defense lawyer which can be anything from a warrant to a bail amount.A judge besides listens to the oral statements during the case to ensure the case is handled proper and asks questions or controls the prosecution or defense when needed. A judge may in addition give operating instructions to the jury during the case, such as acknowledging a piece of evidence or dismissing one, or dismissing a statement that may contaminate the case and jury. The judge may also hold a person in contempt for acting out in a courtroom or delaying the case, the judge will also make opening and closing statements addressing all those in the courtroom.The Witness will be using oral forms of communication. A witness is a person that has experience of the case they are involved in. Their testimony can either help or hurt a defendant. Both the prosecution and defense have witnesses. indite and oral communications are used within the courtroom in the Minnesota v. toss case. In this case the prosecution has many witnesses that have tuition implementing Riff for the crime. Once the prosecution asks their questions the defense then has their turn.The defense attorney asks the witnesses questions in regards to what they said when the prosecution asked them questions and they also ask the witne sses their own questions. The defense attorney tries to pick apart the witnesses stories to help his client. The witnesses for the defense team usually tell a different story from the prosecution witnesses. The prosecution then has their time to cross examine. The written communications that are usually presented are the statements that are gathered at the time of the incident.When witnesses are first questioned at the scene they give information such as the time of the incident, exact details of what happened, and where it happened.
