Apostrophes Test Prep

When a suspect is arrested he or she is read $\boxed 1$ hi's Miranda Rights. We all know these rights from movies and TV, "You have the right to remain silent.  You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you..." A $\boxed 2$ suspects rights are paramount, even when the $\boxed 3$police's evidence against that suspect is quite strong.

As a suspect is indicted, he or she moves through the criminal justice system that suspect will work with and face several types of attorneys.  $\boxed 4$Prosecutor's are the attorneys who advocate for the states' agenda.  They try to convince $\boxed 5$judge's and juries to convict a suspect.

$\boxed 6$Defenders' are the attorneys who work for the suspect, trying to convince a jury that a $\boxed 7$suspect's innocent or at least had mitigating circumstances. When $\boxed 8$suspect's lack sufficient funds to pay for an attorney, they can work with a public defender, who are paid by the government but work on behalf of $\boxed 9$suspects'.

 

$\boxed {10}$Prosecutor's jobs are to try to obtain a conviction. $\boxed {11}$Defender's jobs are to advocate for the suspect. $\boxed {12}$ Judges and juries' jobs are to listen to both $\boxed {13}$ attorney's statements and evidence and make a fair and impartial decision regarding a $\boxed {14}$suspects innocence or guilt.
