Court Cases (e.g., State v. Kelly)

Court cases like State v. Kelly are legal disputes brought before a court, where "State" refers to the government prosecuting an individual ("Kelly") accused of breaking the law. The case involves presenting evidence and legal arguments to determine whether the defendant committed the crime. The court then issues a verdict—guilty or not guilty—based on the facts and applicable law. Such cases establish legal precedents, interpret statutes, and uphold justice, helping clarify how laws should be applied in similar situations in the future.
