Question

Pleaseee help!
You are a judge that is trying a murder case. Up until this point there has been only one suspect (Suspect A), but new evidence and information show that more than one person was involved in the murder. The evidence shows that this second suspect (Suspect B) may have been the one to pull the trigger and commit the heinous crime of murder. How does this new evidence affect Suspect A?

Answer 1

The new evidence is considered mitigating circumstances and may reduce the blameworthiness of the Suspect B.
The new evidence is considered aggravating circumstances and may increase the blameworthiness of the Suspect A.
The new evidence is considered aggravating circumstances and may reduce the blameworthiness of Suspect A.
The new evidence is considered mitigating circumstances and may reduce the blameworthiness of the Suspect A.

Answer 2

The fourth one. The new evidence is considered mitigating circumstances and may reduce the blameworthiness of the Suspect A. This is because mitigating circumstances only reduce the severity of the crime.

Answer 4

can you help me with this one
In July of 2004, Sherelee Purnell of Salisbury, Maryland, pulled away from the Tiger Mart gas station without paying for the 2.78 gallons of fuel she pumped into her car. The court decided to give her a(n) _________________ sentence where she was ordered to walk along the street in front of the Tiger Mart gas station wearing a sign that declared the crime she committed.
