Answer:

There are two types of judicial proceedings in the federal courts that use juries.

Criminal trial: An individual is accused of committing a crime that is considered against society as a whole. Twelve people, and alternates, make up a criminal jury. A unanimous decision must be reached before a defendant is found “guilty.” The government must prove the crime was committed “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Guilty pleas and plea negotiations reduce the need for juries in criminal cases.

Civil trial: Litigants seek remedies for private wrongs that don’t necessarily have a broader social impact. At least six people make up a civil jury. The jury must come to a unanimous decision unless specified otherwise. The standard of proof is a “preponderance of the evidence,” or “more true than not.”

Settlement negotiations reduce the need for juries in civil cases.

OLga [1]

Answer:

Harold is suffering from jealous delusional disorder.

Explanation:

Jealous delusional disorder is a subtype of delusional disorder in which the person suffering from it behaves abnormally due to the belief that their partner will be unfaithful to them. Even though the belief is unfounded, the person acts in a delusional, obsessive way, often being driven to extreme measures to prevent their partners from cheating. As we can see, Harold's behavior fits such definition. He has locked up his wife for the past ten years, being sure that he will be cheated on in case she ever leaves the house.
