Famed Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s legacy is hardly easy to define. His is most remembered for cunning speed and brutality in battle and many consider him without equal. The same strategies Jackson used in the Shenandoah Valley campaign were scrutinized by both Rommel and Patton for inspiration in WWII. Jackson’s personal discipline carried over into his command.

The criminal trial process is an interesting process that takes place in Courtrooms all across the United States and throughout the globe. This study intends to set out the various steps in the criminal trial process in the American justice system. A trial is described as a "legal forum for resolving individual disputes, and in the case of a criminal charge, it is a means for establishing whether an accused person is legally guilty of an offense. The trial process varies with respect to whether the matter at issue is civil in nature or criminal. In either case, a jury acts as a fact-finding body for the court in assessing information and evidence that is presented by the respective parties in a case. A judge presides over the court and addresses all the legal issues that arise during the trial. A judge also instructs the jury how to apply the facts to the laws that will govern in a given case."

After dinner Jackson made it 50 ft before tiring and turning around to walk back to his room, keeping his right hand on the wall the entire time to keep from falling down. He thought about what he’d done four days ago when he forced himself out of bed to rescue the people on his hospital floor and wondered how he managed to do it as tired as he was at the moment, along with how he survived and didn’t get himself and everyone killed, he really pulled of a miracle that day and kept up his reputation intact of pulling off the impossible, but boy it really

Arguably, the criminal court is the most important aspect of the criminal justice system. After all, “[t]he criminal court is the setting in which many of the most important decisions in the criminal justice system are made. Eyewitness identification, bail, trial, plea negotiations, and sentencing all involve court decisions” (Siegel & Worrall, 2016, p. 156). Naturally, I decided to experience the criminal court in all its glory, as the court is such a focal point for the decisions in the criminal justice system.
