PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Weis is Negative . The original lawyers were replaced with salaried public defenders  who do not usually work on capital cases. Those lawyers asked to withdraw  saying they did not have the time  financing or qualifications to properly pursue a death penalty case. Weis argued that he should have had the first legal team  and refused to work with the second.
 The fight continued for the next two years; in that time  Weis' mother  who was expected to testify on his behalf  died.
 Justice Harold D. Melton  writing for a four-justice majority  found that the trial delay was "brought about by Weis and his attorneys  and not the funding issues." Countering arguments that there had been a "systemic breakdown in the public defender system " he said  "There are still attorneys within that system who are available to represent the criminal defendant."
 In dissent  Justice Hugh P. Thompson wrote that the Constitution requires that Weis receive a "vigorous defense " and that Georgia "cannot shirk this responsibility because it is experiencing budgetary constraints."

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump is Neutral . "Wow "  Mr. Trump  wrote on Twitter  "Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for 'inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.'"
Wow  Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for âinappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.â But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lackâs past! â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29  2017
Last October  in the final weeks of the presidential campaign  Summer Zervos claimed she had repeatedly been harassed by  Mr. Trump  when she was a contestant on  his  NBC show  "The Apprentice."
Earlier this fall  Zervos' attorney served  Mr. Trump  a subpoena to preserve "all documents concerning any accusations that were made during the campaign that he subjected any woman to unwanted sexual touching and/or sexually inappropriate behavior."
Throughout the campaign   then-candidate Trump  dismissed the allegations.
"The events never happened ... never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over  " Mr. Trump  said.
But  Mr. Trump  has not followed through on that threat. And one of  his  accusers told CBS News that she never believed  he  would sue.
"This was locker room talk  " Mr. Trump  has said.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Addison Russell is Negative . Photos of Cubs shortstop Addison Russell.
For now  there are no plans to move  Russell  from shortstop despite an occasional rash of throwing errors on routine plays.
 Russell  is only 23 and continues to show glimpses of becoming a bona fide run-producing shortstop with the power  he  displayed in 2016.  His  talents and agent could help command a frontline starting pitcher.  Russell  is arbitration eligible this offseason for the first time and wonât be eligible for free agency until after 2021 season.
 Russell  returned from a foot injury in mid-September without any issues  leaving a pending divorce as the only concern from interested teams. Russellâs batting average sank from .281 in late April to .209 in early June  when his domestic struggles surfaced  but he rallied suffciently to finish the season at .239.
If  Russell  is dealt  Baez can move to shortstop â  his  natural position â with Happ and/or Zobrist taking over at second.
Baez  24  was a defensive savior â especially when he took over at shortstop after  Russell  was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Baez didnât commit an error in 26 consecutive games at shortstop while making routine and tough plays with ease.
If a trade decision boils down to  Russell  or Baez  it could be a matter of taking either a more dependable approach at the plate ( Russell ) or the dazzling defender who can make the backhanded stop and strong throw to first base (Baez).

SOLUTION:
no
