Answer:

The Sixth Amendment provides that a person accused of a crime has the right to confront a witness against him or her in a criminal action.  This includes the right to be present at the trial (which is guaranteed by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 43). As well as the right to cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses.

What potential conflict of interest is presented by a lawmaker accepting an
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

A term used to describe the situation in which a public official or fiduciary who, contrary to the obligation and absolute duty to act for the benefit of the public or a designated individual, exploits the relationship for personal benefit, typically pecuniary.

In certain relationships, individuals or the general public place their trust and confidence in someone to act in their best interests. When an individual has the responsibility to represent another person—whether as administrator, attorney, executor, government official, or trustee—a clash between professional obligations and personal interests arises if the individual tries to perform that duty while at the same time trying to achieve personal gain. The appearance of a conflict of interest is present if there is a potential for the personal interests of an individual to clash with fiduciary duties, such as when a client has his or her attorney commence an action against a company in which the attorney is the majority stockholder.

Incompatibility of professional duties and personal interests has led Congress and many state legislatures to enact statutes defining conduct that constitutes a conflict of interest and specifying the sanctions for violations. A member of a profession who has been involved in a conflict of interest might be subject to disciplinary proceedings before the body that granted permission to practice that profession.

Other than the title of why there are issues with minorities mistrust of the police. what other kinds of details is needed to do
pshichka [43]
I am a minority myself, so I hope this helps!

Distrust in the police is from generational trauma from oppression, take the stonewall riots for example. The LGBTQ+ community was fighting for the basic right to live, and the price of that meant that a lot of them, especially Trans Women of Color, were brutalized by the police, for peacefully protesting.
