1. Ladies and gentleman of the jury. First, I like to thank you for your attention and service. Now, I like to direct your attention to what this case is all about, and that is pain. Pain inflicted on two separate individual. It was that defendants financial pain, that cause Ms. Fitzgerald physical pain, mental pain, and emotional pain. 2. Hard times and a disappointing date night drove the defendant over the edge. After bringing his girlfriend home after a date, the defendant left her house around 9:30 PM. In a hurry to get home he boarded the #9 bus taking it down elm street and it turn on 5th street. Normally, the defendant would get off on 5th and Maple street, but not that day. On that day, he was riding the bus with Ms. Fitzgerald and notice that she …show more content…
Ladies and gentlemen. How would you feel if this happened to a friend, cousin, niece, aunt, sister, grandmother, mother, daughter, girlfriend, or wife? How would you respond knowing you were helpless to protect them. The pain Ms. Fitzgerald is going through eventually will heal. But it is the mental pain, nightmares, trauma, and emotional pain that some time does not heal. Imagine the apprehension Ms. Fitzgerald face walking in her own neighborhood. Afraid to go in and out the house at night, constantly looking over her shoulders, and constantly reliving the incident every time she passes the scene of the crime on her way home. 10. Events like these can be life altering, however, you have an opportunity and a responsibility to Nita City, to protect the people you know and don’t know in Nita City. Your City. You have an opportunity to prevent another innocent woman from suffering by the hands of that defendant. You have an opportunity to give Ms. Fitzgerald the justice she deserves. You have an opportunity to prevent another innocent woman from going through pain. 11. That is why I am asking the jury to return a verdict of guilty. 12. Again, thank you for your attention and your

2. The summary given here leaves out many important facts. What other facts might have been important to you as a juror?
This write up was much more specific than the other articles I have come across. It is a very good article based on its topic. There is a lot of information given for such a specific topic of the characters in Fitzgerald's stories. Donaldson uses a sense of storytelling in the article which makes it a very easy read.
The 8th juror says, “I started to feel that the defence counsel wasn’t doing his job. He let too many things go. Little things.” (13).
Fitzgerald knew the importance of internal conflict in an exceptional work of literature and he used it to his advantage in “Winter Dreams” when conveying his underlying theme. In this quote by the narrator “he sat perfectly quiet, his nerves in wild clamor, afraid if he moved he would find her irresistibly in his arms…” (p. 748) FItzgerald uses internal conflict to show Dexter’s struggle to deny Judy Jones. We see that even Dexter’s nerves are fighting to keep him stable. Throughout this internal fight He loses to a “Perfect wave of emotion” (p.748). In this wave of emotion he loses to his desire. He had to have her, despite knowing she was unobtainable, despite irene, despite his well being. To Dexter, one night with her was
1) The jury in this film is relatively diverse. Although on the whole diversity spectrum it isn’t, we see diversity in the age ranges of the jury members and in their different classes, and levels of education. The diversity helps the team in the aspect that it helps seem jury members see differently to others. It allowed some of them to give the defendant a chance and understand the circumstances he had be brought up in and the lifestyle he’d lived in. An example would be when the kid was called slum by certain jury members whereas others gave him a chance.
Considering the totality of the circumstances, the police officer’s search of the Defendant’s home was unreasonable.
It can be extremely difficult at times to provided appropriate and effective legal mechanisms in the area of age of criminal responsibility – that being the important transition from childhood innocence into the maturity and true responsibility that arises in adulthood and its association with the Australian criminal law. In order to deal with the grey area of age of criminal responsibility there are multiple specialised institutions such as the Children’s Court and juvenile detention centres. There have also been significant manipulations to particular pieces of legislation of the criminal justice system in order to clearly differentiate the legal rules of children and adolescents from that of legitimate adults.
eight. In the beginning of the movie, jury member number one asks all the jurors to cast a vote
One thing about working in law enforcement is that you encounter very realistic situations. The majority of the situations you face are not for the faint of heart. I remember seeing my first dead body or dismemberment, and it took a minute for me to process what I was observing. I have seen numerous amounts of shooting victims and tragic accidents. However, the one thing that I will never get used to seeing is a child hurt in any way. It especially became an issue for me after I had my son. Every time I made the scene of an incident involving children, I would always put my child in that situation. As soon as I returned home after my shift, I would make it my business to touch him just to make sure that he was okay. So when it comes to any crime
The most efficient and acceptable means for the collection of evidence to be permissible and admissible to a court of law through trial proceedings is to maintain a credible chain of custody. However, the chain of custody is an insufficient factor without proper discovery retrieval and/or collection of evidence. When offenders respond to a scene in which there is evidence to be collected, only officers properly trained in the process are allowed to collect the evidence. In the State of Georgia, law enforcement officers undergo a strenuous police academy course in which they learn the fundamentals of collecting elements such as fingerprints and bodily fluids. In addition to learning the fundamentals of collecting elements at a crime scene, they are also instructed and trained on how to properly take crime scene pictures. These pictures are important because they show the courts where an element or piece of evidence was discovered in reference to the whole sight of the scene. Once the officer collects the elements/evidence according to his or her training they place the evidence in either a plastic or paper bag to be submitted into evidence. Upon the collection of evidence there is a legible record of each person that handles the evidence from start to finish
Juror 3 an emotionally distraught man who has not been in touch with his estranged son votes guilty based on biases to young children who have lack respect to their elders this is shown when he points out to Juror 2 “I’d think we’d be better off if we took these tough kids and slapped ‘em down before they make trouble” this enrage provokes a sense of dislike in the audience to Juror 3 as he believes that violence is the key to problem-solving. In relation to both jurors there is always seems to be tension amongst them when Juror 8 constantly reveals Juror 3’s weaknesses that is delaying them from reaching a final verdict. Rose uses these two jurors to shows how there is always one juror who will always bring out people’s imperfections.
Throughout life people face countless decisions; however, making the wrong choice may lead to a catastrophic consequence. As a woman was being brutally stabbed in Kew Gardens near Austin Street, numerous bystanders did not help or act upon calling the police. The choice of the bystanders to not phone the police lead to the death of an innocent woman. Had just one of the thirty-eight people called the police, that innocent woman would still have breath in her lungs. In the article “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police,” Martin Gansberg expresses his anger and disapproval toward those who left a poor woman to die. If the thirty-eight people took immediate action and did not make excuses, the precious life of Catherine Genovese would have been rescued.
