A defendant is charged with beating a victim to death with a set of brass knuckles during the course of a fight in a tavern. The

victim was found to have a pistol on his person at the time of the fight. During the course of the trial, the defendant took the stand in his own defense and testified that the victim threatened him with a gun and the defendant had hit the victim with the brass knuckles in self-defense. To rebut the defendant's claim, the prosecution wishes to place the bartender on the stand, who will testify that two years prior to the attack on the victim, she had seen the defendant approach a customer in her tavern from behind, put on a pair of brass knuckles, and strike the customer a severe blow on the side of the face with a brass-knuckled fist. The prosecutor, in accordance with local court rules, has apprised the defense attorney of the general tenor of the bartender's proposed testimony. As soon as the bartender is sworn in, the defense attorney raises an objection.
How should the court rule on the admissibility of the bartender's testimony?

A Admissible, as substantive evidence that the defendant did not act in self-defense in beating the victim.

B Admissible, to attack the defendant's credibility.

C Inadmissible, because prior bad acts cannot be admitted to prove the defendant's propensity to commit the specific crime with which he is charged.

D Inadmissible, because the defendant has not put his character in issue in this case.

Answer:

Inadmissible, because prior bad acts cannot be admitted to prove the defendant's propensity to commit the specific crime with which he is charged

Explanation:

Evidence

This is refered to as a group or a collective mass of things such as testimony and exhibits etc.

Trier of law helps to know what laws apply to the case, decides on what evidence is admissible, reviews written briefs submitted by both sides, gives legal points and authories relevant to the decision etc.

The role of prosecutor

They are responsible for filing of charges, trials, and appeals, review the actions of police officers, make judgements on whether they were appropriate etc.

The role of defense is responsible for trial strategy.

The evidence is admissible in court are only important evidence related to its admissible in court. In some few cases, relevant evidence will not be admitted in court.

A relevant evidence is inadmissible if it one is when the evidence found is in violation of the defendants constitutional rights or violations of the hearsay rule that state that information is opportuned.etc.

Create a plan for government that allows the emperor, the shogun, the daimyo, and the samurai to work together
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Split the Government into a Diarchy type situation

The Emperor leads Domestic Affairs, while the Shogun leads Military affairs within japan, create a parliament full of the daimyo so that internal politics becomes easier, and have the samurai act as Guards for important people in government.

This is just a brief idea, and the Shogun would likely just take back control, although I believe you can provide the checks and balances.
