Courtroom

know how things are run and why certain things happen the way they do. The finally thing is that you must understand the english language. If you didn't understand the english language than you will not be able to know what is being said in the courtroom. Even if you know english really well most people don’t understand the legal jargon the lawyers are using in the…

Sitting in the courtroom with Jerry, Marlene kept thinking she would be going home with her husband, I’m sure they’ll find me innocent. Within hours, the jurors asked a question. Once they got the answer, they returned to the deliberating room. After five days of deliberation, the foreman notified the bailiff they had reached a decision. “Ladies and gentlemen, have you reached a verdict?” Judge Hunter asked when everyone returned to the courtroom. Standing to his feet, the foreman said, “Yes,…

conversation between the judge and the attorneys regarding the instructions to be given to the jury before they deliberated. The judge appeared to have things well under control in his courtroom and kept the proceedings moving forward efficiently. He spoke softly so it was really hard to hear him in the courtroom. The prosecutor provided a difference to the defense attorney. She was very confident and really rude. She did not rearrange papers or take long pauses during questioning to consult her…

Everyone has events in their life that impact their life. One of the best experiences I have experienced was my adoption. This day gave me a feeling of being part of a whole family instead of being the stepchild. Not that it changed my day to day life, however it changed how I looked at a number of things. I was adopted on Michigan's adoption day, which always takes place the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. November 26 was Michigan's adoption day in 2013. We started the adoption process over three…

The field of neuroscience has come a long way from the physical study of the brain by way of dissecting the deceased or experimenting on live animals, to today’s age where one could see the brain in real-time via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The fMRI is a noninvasive technique that provides images that detects the changes in blood flow that in parts of the brain that are more active than others. The information can then be compared to existing anatomical knowledge of the brain…

MIKE GENTRY, (early-twenties) looks stressed as he waits outside the courtroom door, the hallway is a whirlwind of activity. The courtroom door swings open and out bursts RUSSELL GARRISON, now FIFTY.

MIKE GENTRY Mr. Garrison. Russell jumps. RUSSELL GARRISON/ T HANKS Mr. Gentry, why is it that…

It was a great opportunity to visit the Kankakee country juvenile courtroom and get a better insight about the child welfare system and what the speakers had shared. I really liked how they explained about the process of juvenile court cases and the many different roles that are involved in a child’s case. Last year, I had the opportunity to go to a domestic violence court for my Crisis Intervention class, so it was great getting the opportunity to go back to the court house again. Especially,…

Overall the process for each child went relatively briefly. The detention center has two buses that transport the juveniles from the detention centers to the courthouse, one 8 am and another at 10 am. For each case, a juvenile is brought to the courtroom from a holding cell that is located in the basement of the courthouse. At first, I thought it was callous how quickly the judge…

Occasionally, when a jury needs to be selected for a trial, I manage the jurors in the courtroom, directing them in and out of the courtroom and answering any questions they have about the process. When jurors get summoned for jury duty, they are assigned to a particular Judge, and once brought into the assigned Judge’s courtroom, they are asked if they have any reasons why they cannot serve for the trial they are being questioned for. After all of the general conflicts are addressed, the jurors…
