This law is called Double Jeopardy.

Although this may seem beneficial and fair, it also has several disadvantages. The law is beneficial to innocent people, because it prevents them from being tried twice for the same crime, so they can not be acquitted and then later found guilty. However, this is also a disadvantage in some cases. In the past, there have been some court cases in which the defendant was acquitted, but later admitted to the crime. Because of the Double Jeopardy law, these people could not be found guilty and still have not received a punishment.

blsea [12.9K]

Katrina has many tools at her the disposal but one particular way she could highlight the key material is the use of nonverbal clues. These nonverbal clues can take the shape of gestures for instance. Also raising of the voice and changing the intonation works quite well when you need to capture the attention of your audience.
