1) The document provides discussion questions and requirements for two discussion posts. The first post asks students to research and summarize a controversial criminal case, argue either the prosecution or defense perspective as an expert witness, and respond to peer posts as opposing counsel. 2) The second post asks students to discuss the 2000 US Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, including the candidates, key issues, how Bush won, and public reaction to the outcome. References are provided for both posts.

1. Discussion Questions
writing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
I have attached the document with everything please site 2 of the source per each post
Requirements: 300 words
Discussion Post 1
Research a controversial case such as OJ Simpson, JonBenet Ramsey, Sam Sheppard,
Lindbergh kidnapping, Lizzie Borden, Casey Anthony, Suzanne Morphew or another crime
that has enough information that you can prepare a court case. Summarize the case and the
evidence and make sure you include information that counters the CSI effect. You can argue
either side (prosecution or defense). You should make sure you share your "credentials"
needed to ascertain that you are an expert witness. When you respond to your peers, take
on the role of the opposing counsel and ask questions of your "witness".
