What are the three type of opinions that the supreme court can issue on a case

1) majority opinion, which states the decision of the majority of the Court, usually at least five of the justices.  Almost every case has a majority opinion. It expresses the reasons the court is deciding the case the way it is.

2) concurring opinion, which is the opinion of one or more justices who voted with the majority, but for differing legal reasons.

(ex. the flag burning cases. One of the Justices agreed with the majority, but had a separate opinion: "the conduct was disgusting, but protected.")

3) dissenting opinion, this is the kind of opinion when the justice writing it disagrees with the result of the majority opinion.

the punishment for breaking the law would depend on the conditions or the seriousness of the law being broken, if he or she breaks the law while doing some great discovery or invention then it would classify as a scientific fraud. there are other words to describe the crime but scientific fraud would be the harshest one.
