Period 7 Closing Statment For the entire duration of this hearing you, the women and men of the jury, heard the defenses case and the prosecutions case. The evidence has been layed on the table. Angel Sterling was victimized. He was tormented in almost everyway possible. Bullying is not only physical but emotional. This innocent 13 year old boy was physically and cyber bullied. He was attacked in possibly the hardest way. He has emotionally been scared. A statement could be made if Jesse Woodson is found guilty in this courtroom today. The folk tale saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” has been taken to another level and ejected from its meaning. Today if you convict Mr. Woodson

    On Punishment And Teen Killers Jenkins Analysis

    In the article, “On Punishment and Teen Killers” (2011), Jenkins uses the weakest ethos when she argues, teens who commit heinous crimes should receive life without the possibility of parole, and that victims’ rights should be considered. Jenkins is a high school teacher who was a victim. In the light, she works with teenagers which gives her a small amount of credibility, but on the contrary, her sister and unborn child were murdered by an adolescent. Be as it may, this gives her a biased opinion, because she wants revenge for her family members’ death and does not care about the person who killed her family members. In addition to that bad ethos, she uses a lot of pathos in her article which, not to mention, lowers her credibility. Consequently,…

    Rogers Vs Wycoff Case Summary

    Defense attorney may argue based on two precedents of US Supreme Court - Booth v. Maryland (1987) and South Carolina v. Gathers (1989) and state that this testimony is irrelevant to the crime itself and is not connected to the facts of the case and also victim’s testimony is unacceptable during death penalty cases. But US Supreme Court overruled these two precedents by its decision on Payne v. Tennessee case (1991). This decision holds that testimony on the form of a victim impact statement is admissible during the sentencing phase of a trial and, in death penalty cases, does not violate the Cruel and Unusual Punishment…

    Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today we are charging Brandon Trinh with the violation of a weapon on school grounds. On April 21st, School Resource Officer of Great Oak High School, Israel Sosa, made a police report upon an allegation of suspect Brandon Trinh carrying a knife on school campus.

    Children's Arrests In Bullying Summary

    The article I just read recently, was “Children’s Arrests in Bullying Case Distress Tennessee City” written by Christine Hauser. Hauser writes about how children of the ages of 12 years old were arrested for bullying a boy.

One of the children was recording the whole incident while the boy was being beaten up and later had posted it on YouTube. After the arrest of the children’s parents and churches started to gather up at the city hall and demand the police officers to drop the charges described as “criminally responsible for the conduct of another”.

    Atticus Finch Closing Argument

    At the end of the book To Kill a Mockingbird ,by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch does not make an effective closing argument because the judge's mind was made before the case even started. “Judge Taylor was polling the jury: ‘Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty…’” (Lee 211). Although Atticus made many valid points, none of them were effective. They made no changes in the judge's decision and no influence. Racism and going against African Americans was a societal acceptance, which made it normal to convict an African American with such valuable arguments. “‘How could they do it, how could they?’ ‘I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it -- seems that only children weep’”…

    As the number of people who think the defendant is guilty starts to dwindle, he chooses to use derogatory phrases such as “bleedin’ hearts” to try and persuade people to change their votes.

    Jury Instructions: A Narrative Analysis

    As we walked into the jury room, after hearing the case of Commonwealth v. Miller, I had already decided how I would vote and, honestly, I determined I was not going to be swayed. We swiftly chose a foreman by appointing the one, who had been given the jury instructions, to that position. Next, we read the jury instructions out loud, in order to remember and understand the definition of each charge. Debate over the meaning of the instructions ensued for a short amount of time before we dove into determining guilt or innocence. Everyone was given a chance to discuss the case and, personally, I felt comfortable entering the discussion and debating the case. After discussion, we voted and were evenly split among guilty or not guilty. Next, we…

    Trayvon Martin

    On Saturday July 13th, 2013th, all of America waited on what would be the verdict of George Zimmerman, who killed 17-year old boy Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida. In the end a six, mainly white, women jury decided to claim Zimmerman as non-guilty for second degree murder. This caused a huge shock for many Americans. They were left with this shock and pain through thoughts of how could this happen. There were protests because people felt that this verdict does not reflect the true justice that this country claims we fulfill. Due to this verdict and the overall trial, it displays how the United States justice system is not blind to race, because of the way the trial was set up and the ultimate outcome.…

    Defence Closing Speech

    The first witness you heard from today was one of two doorpersons at the Xplode night club, Billie Evans, who was present on the night of the 10th February 2012. This witness admitted to the court that s/he witnessed Howells assault Ashley Brown and that s/he responded immediately by tackling Howells to the ground while firmly holding his/her hands behind his/her back during ‘an almighty struggle’ while he/she waited for the police to arrive to the scene. It would be most simple to look no further into the other evidence in this case and to convict my client straight away, But it’s not as simple as that, is it, members of the jury?…

    Mock Trial Plaintif Closing Arguments 2014

    Good evening Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, and opposing counsel. Tonight you heard the testimony and evidence in Roughed Grouse High School's attempt to hide, justify, and deny their negligent actions. In order to prove Roughed Grouse High School's negligence resulting in the death of Jordan Simon, I, along with my co-counsel, had to prove our case, not beyond a reasonable doubt, but simply by a preponderance of evidence. In other words, if you were to put the evidence favoring the case of the plaintiff and evidence favorable to the defendant on a scale, we the plaintiff would have to make the scales tip ever so slightly in our favor. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we have done just that. We have proved to you tonight by a preponderance of evidence, not that the defendant was solely responsible for the unfortunate and untimely death of Jordan Simon, but that those representing Roughed Grouse High School were more negligent above all others involved.…
