Joe And Murder Case Brief

After the arraignment, the trial process begins. Both the prosecutor and the defendant had to produce enough evidence to sway the jury to either call the accused guilty or not guilty. The trial in the movie started off as loosely following actual court proceedings because the defendant had never been part of actual court proceedings and did not know the proper etiquette to follow. This was perceived through the actions that he showed in court and not knowing his rights to the evidence that the prosecutor had at his disposal, in which all should have been given to him in the beginning of the case. Although the trial process in My Cousin Vinny was not as formal as that of real proceedings, the way in which the judge made the lawyers act within

When operating a business with a union contract, miscommunication and lack of training can lead to grievances. In the scenario given in the assignment, a lack of understanding of the union contract led to a potential problem that must be addressed quickly, honestly, and fairly. When the manager with no union experience was hired, training should have been conducted immediately on the rules and regulations of the union contract. The manager should have read and understood the company obligations under the contract before considering any raises, promotions, or changes. In addition, if this was his first time doing evaluations and raises, they should have been overseen by his boss or by the HR department to ensure that there was no problem with them.

Without a reasonable doubt I think Steve Harmon is guilty of first degree murder. I think this because, Bobo had just meet Steve right before the robbery. Steve had said that he was there for sure. King had said he knew a guy for this look out job. Bobo did not know if Steve was really going to be the look out person. Bobo and King went out to eat after the robbery. Bobo and King had split the money after the robbery and getting something to eat. So really Steve was just there to give a signal Bobo had said. Steve did not even know what was going on in the drug store. Cruz had a chance to grab a taste of money, but he did not because, he was afraid of Bobo. Cruz had said Steve was there at the robbery. Lorelle was at the drugstore getting cough

It could also be argued that the defendant was provoked. Provocation exists at common law but is also contained under section three of the Homicide Act 1957. To establish provocation the jury must be able to find the person charged was “provoked by things said or done or to a sudden loss of self control enough to make a reasonable man do as he did.” In this case the things said or done were Jane laughing and taunting the defendant, also the fact that she said it would serve him right if she had an affair as he was the “most boring man” she’d ever known. This may be considered as cumulative provocation which the jury may consider Humphreys 1995. The test for loss of self control stems from Duffy, there was a sudden loss of self control as Steve “immediately” flew into a rage and it was “sudden” as there was no cooling off period as in the case of Ibrams and Gregory. The case of DPP v Camplin stated that the question is not whether a “reasonable man” in similar circumstances would be provoked to lose his
