In a 7 pages paper (1500-1750 words) not including the reference pages (minimum 12 peer reviewed references and cited into the paper), prepare a case write-up that incorporates all aspects of the criminal justice system-from police investigation, to arrest, evidence, court proceedings, and eventually sentencing "The Grim Sleeper Serial Killer Case". All work must be original and in APA format, 12 font, and Time New Roman.

• Describe the nature of the case, citing it in appropriate legal format (i.e., Miranda v. Arizona, 1966).

• Explain the investigation. What legal foundations and constitutional laws and amendments were present? What type of defense, if any, was used?

• Describe the court proceedings; pre-trial hearings, indictments, the trial, defense and prosecution arguments, and court outcome-acquittal, guilty, not guilty, NGRI, GBMI, etc.

• Finally, describe the correctional phase, if applicable: jail, prison, probation, parole, etc.

• Would there be a significant difference if adjudicated in another level of court (i.e, federal)? Would the punishment be more, or less severe? Would the evidence be handled differently?

Summarize the case and offer your analysis of the proceedings. What are your thoughts about the investigation, evidence, court proceedings, and verdict? Make sure you support your conclusions with cited and referenced materials.
