All-white jury

Based on information gathered by the prosecution prior to November 6th, 2017, I believe that the jury will find defendant Rebekah Ponder guilty of the murder of Walter White, and defendant Elshaday Yilma will be found complicit. However, evidence will be found insufficient for the jury or an otherwise reasonable person to convict either defendant of robbery. During the trial, the jury will convict Ponder and Yilma of murder and complicity to murder because of the evidence that will be proven…

with a difficult and heartbreaking case, it may be hard for one to reach a verdict. To decide whether one is innocent or not, one must evaluate all given evidence and testimonies. As a juror on the case of Maria Santiago, I was given the opportunity to find if Santiago was guilty in the murder of Allison Santiago, her six month old daughter.

However, the concerned three law students in Mills case override the three government limitations at certain times. This is because the issue is more serious to be left in the hand of the public because the three law students attempted to have their voice heard. Thus, if one voice is not heard it disprove freedom of rights of one’s opinion to increase and disregards the others. Due to the reason that they expressed their opinion and were not heard by Maclean’s magazine made it necessary for the…

In this essay, I will address the following cases, Donoghue v Stevenson, Anns v Merton, Ward v McMaster and Glencar v Mayo in detail along with other relevant cases. I will show how the courts progressed from deciding that proximity in Donoghue v Stevenson decides whether a duty of care exists to deciding that policy over proximity in Glencar dictates whether a duty of care exists, I will address how each case had a significant role to play in how the Glencar judgement was reached. “In most…

Task 1 The first hearing I…

steps must be taken to ensure that a proper defense is set up so that he may he keep his freedom. Since there are many different aspects to the whole scenario, there will need to be several different defenses to ensure that Lennie is proven innocent on all charges and that his alleged accomplice isn’t charged as well. Did Lennie Cause The Death of the First Officer? The first officer that pursued Lennie died instantly after being hit in the eye with a dart, which was thrown by an inebriated…

Juror 10 used avoiding styles where he did not address the conflict at all. This was a temporary measure as the problem was charged with high…

Mock Trial Reflection In preparation for doing the mock trial, our group really tried to understand both what was happening in the minds of the lawyers and the witnesses. Those who were trying to be prosecutors had a bit of a harder time trying to be like a real lawyer. Even being a witness, like myself, it was a somewhat difficult feat. This task was even harder considering I was supposed to play a psychologist, Dr. Alex Richards in the Chris Archer trial. You have to know how to answer the…
