Example Of A Jury Report
May it please the court.

Your honour, members of the jury, I am Natalie Fong and I will represent the plaintiff side. To my left and right are my colleagues Ally Chan and Chloe Li.

Imagine this- a make-you-own-jewellry set, easy to make by spraying water on the beads. You could make bracelets, necklaces-it was everything a kid could want! It was the perfect gift! Until, it took a child's life.

Members of the jury, this is Andy Davis, a widowed woman working two jobs, who does everything in her power to ensure her children can have a warm home and hot meals. Times were tough, but they were happy.

Mrs. Davis had two children, Joey and Hillary. When it was Hillarys 10th birthday, it was the perfect time to gift Hillary the Princess Beads that

This is what Andy Davis felt, receiving the news of Joey's death. Joey had ingested 25 beads and vomited, seizing at one point, then falling into a coma in the hospital. At around 2:02 on August 8th, 2009- Joey was pronounced dead by respiratory arrest. Joey Davis had suffered and died, because of the Princess Beads.

Your honour, members of the jury, today my client Andy Davis has accused Happyland Toy Company of manufacturing a defective product, the Princess Beads, which led to her son Joey Davis's fatal respiratory arrest.

We, the plaintiff side, will prove that Joey Davis's death was directly foreseeable and he suffered harm as a direct and proximate result of the defects present in the Happyland beads. In other words, we ask that you find Happyland Toy Company liable beyond a reasonable doubt.

Members of the jury, I beg you to consider three questions. First, did Happyland Toy Company manufacture a defective product? Second, did Joey Davis suffer harm? Third, was the harm caused to Joey Davis a direct and proximate result of the Princess Beads? If you find that the answer is YES to these questions, then you must find the defense

    The appropriate legal issue in this case is to decide who, or whether anyone bears responsibility for the fall of the leaning tree. The plaintiff assumes that because Clark owns the property where the tree fell, that he is responsible for notification of its danger. Yet the plaintiff herself worked at Clark's house as a housekeeper and did not notify her husband of the danger of the leaning tree. This shows the flawed logic behind the plaintiff's argument that it takes one to spend time in that house to see the danger of the tree and to notify others about it. People do not have to be responsible for calculating the risks of leaning trees and no one should bear responsibility for Galindo's death. It is an accident that is beyond the human ability to prevent and the case should be dismissed.…

    The case begin when Mrs. Turner filed a complaint in district court against the Las Vegas 51s, alleging negligence and Mr. Turner complaint for loss of consortium, and negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED).

    Susie, Jerry and Katie drove around for about a half an hour without taking Susie home. Jerry made one stop which was located down the street where Susie lived, but Susie never got off on the first stop. At some point, Jerry lost control of the vehicle while making a left turn resulting in the truck turning over and seriously injuring Susie. After the incident Susie filed a complaint against the City of Elsewhere, Officer Ruthless, and other defendants, alleging that the City and the Police were negligent and therefore liable for her injuries. The main issue is to prove if the City and Officer Ruthless are liable for Susie’s injuries, due to the simple fact that Officer Ruthless ordered Susie Marks to ride in Jerry’s camper because of the park curfew time.…
