Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The courts are responsible for adjudicating the case, meaning they will determine whether Samantha is guilty or not guilty of the crime of murder. The police may arrest Samantha and gather evidence, but they do not have the authority to determine guilt or innocence. The corrections system deals with individuals who have already been convicted and sentenced, and the legislature creates and amends laws but is not directly involved in the adjudication of individual cases.
