    For my Essay #3, The Juror’s Reflection, I have chosen to discuss the case of Moon Microsystems, Inc. v. John Zucchini. I have chosen this case as I found John Zucchini sounded very innocent during my first read through of the trial description, but on each successive read through I found he sounded more and more guilty.

This would mean that they could exploit workers, engage in shady stock trading practices, and form monopolies. Since the public did not support this, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was passed in 1890.…
