Please answer the following questions based on the reading and any outside research you need to perform in order to provide complete answers. Please note that while some of your answers will require outside research, the rest requires intellectual thought, your experience, and your opinions. Make sure you review the Grading Rubric before submitting your answers, so you know the format to utilize and what you are being graded against. In any part of your answer, don’t just copy the words from the textbook and try to give examples not found in the reading. Please respond using numbered paragraphs like I wrote, but you can have multiple paragraphs per number. For this assignment, it is recommended you provide examples, real life ones if possible, in formulating your answers.
1. Explain the difference between unfairly prejudicial evidence and evidence that might confuse or mislead the jury.
2. Explain the circumstances which would justify a court is granting a mistrial rather than issuing a corrective instruction to address the introduction of prejudicial evidence.
3. Explain the role of probative value in determining whether evidence is overly prejudicial or would cause a waste of time or undue delay.
4. Explain why the law prevents disclosure of any statements the defendant makes during plea negotiations.
