... paid for the first time he or she appeals the court, after that it is up to the inmate to pay for his or her own lawyer. Now, after exhausting state appeals, most prisoners are allowed only one appeal in the federal courts (Regoli and Hewitt 544). I think if the inmate wants to appeal his or her case they should have to pay for it from the beginning. Society has to pay enough money as it is for inmates. is less costly than maintaining a criminal in prison for his or her entire life.

Number of Words: 345 / Number of Pages: 2
... Try to remember where the officer was sitting, and see if he had a
clear view of you approaching him and exactly what he could see. (Which
traffic lights were visible to him, how far down the road he could see
etc.) Make a reasonable measurement of the width of the intersection.
