Firstly, what are the duties of the Attorney General? The duties of the attorney general include:
- Providing legal advice and representation to legislators.
- Provide legal advice and consultation to varying organisation such as OSBI, FBI, police, department of health etc.
- Legal advisor to politicians, governors and the state.
They deal with lawsuits against the states. So for example, if someone was mistreated by state run organisations and the individual sued them, the AG would be responsible in dealing with the law suit. Also if the state needs to file a lawsuit against a company or individual then they are responsible for that.
They have different units, which deal with different aspects. First is the general council, where they give out general legal advice. Next is litigation, which deal with representation of the state. They can either represent the state in a lawsuit against someone and defend the state under lawsuits. The next is medical fraud which deal with lawsuits in medical contexts. So legal concepts in federal funded medical insurance ( e.g., not paying out on insurance when supposed to), evaluate poor/old individuals when covering medical costs when they do not have insurance. Next is public protection which involves using the law to protect and take care of vulnerable individuals, e.g. adults with mental disabilities and children.
Next was the Chief of Criminal Appeals, which represent and preserve the constitution of the guilty. Also ensure the punishment imposed are carried out. Through the varying levels of prosecution, if they are found guilty of the crime, the guilty party has the right for an appeal. So if they were sentenced with the death penalty, with a strong defence they can reduce this to life with or without parole. They can usually do this by highlighting the inaccuracies of the court, the exclusion of some evidence (introduction of new evidence that was not originally in the case), proving the council was incompetent. They also have the defendant to pleas so that he can reduce his sentence. However with the amount of documentation at the arguments heard then the individual could be sent to execution. They can set the date back of execution through executive clemency. Both the defence and the prosecutor give the judge a booklet with details of the crime and for the defence what reasons would they not want to be executed.
After a fairly short day we had the chance to go to White Water Bay for a bit of a tan, relaxation and lie in the pool for the rest of the afternoon. Its such a difficult day that the only we can recover is through a nice dip in the pool. Went on one of the rides there but after that felt a bit winded landing in the water.
In the evening we went to Frontier City (an amusement park). I was a bit apprehensive to begin with since most amusement park look the same after a while. However I had a lot of fun there, even though my bumper car stopped working, so was getting hit from all sides. Even went on the huge roller-coaster that went in loop round. Other rides we went on were log flumes, rapids, a couple of roller-coasters etc. It was a great evening, even though we were all wet from the log flume ride. It was a good way to end the day.
