Jury Reflection

For this essay I asked my Grandma Diane questions about jury duty. She has never served on a jury but she has been summonsed to questioning to possibly be on one. When she got the summons letter she wasn’t excited, “ I didn’t want to do it, because I didn’t feel that I [had] the right to judge anyone else,” and didn’t really want to go. She got asked questions like, “Could you be impartial? Could you be fair? If “this” happened would you say that the person is guilty? Are you related to the person/persons involved? Have you heard anything about the case?,” the attorneys asked these questions because they wanted to make sure they had a jury that would make an unbiased decision in the court case. My grandma said that, “It made [her] respect what

Why aren’t jurors, the people who can potentially decide whether a person lives or dies, properly trained in the field of law? Despite the conviction that the United States judicial system is impartial and unblemished, juries thwart this assumption from becoming an actuality, thus making courts inadequate to generate a proper verdict. A fair trial entails unbiased and erudite jurors that establish an adjudication based solely on evidence, yet run of the mill citizens can have predisposed prejudices forged upon the grounds of race. Moreover, with the germination of many technological advancements, biases are conceived from illicit research conducted by jurors in the deliberation room, which perpetuates the notion that trials are becoming

The Viore dire process brings jurors into court to look over a trial and hear what they have to say about it, they will asked questions by the attorney and judge throughout the time they are there. The Viore dire allows the attorney to focus on having a conservation with jurors. According to the book the viore dire is a preliminary examination of a potential juror to determine qualifications to serve as a juror; Preliminary examination of a witness to determine his or her competency to speak the truth. This very important because it provides a fair trail and also can be an advantage during the trial.

While it can’t be guaranteed that a rural individual will act one certain way and an urban individual will act another, there are some actions and reactions that can be assumed. By looking at urban and rural life during the 1900s, one can distinguish the tendencies of people who resided in the city as opposed to people who settled in the country. First of all, in the early 1900s urban and rural life were both challenging but in different ways. According to the writers of the Dictionary of American History, “Life for rural women during this period was very difficult and physical. Women were called upon not only to keep the home and rear children, but also to help in the fields and to process the raw commodities of the farm” (Rural Life 5).

I too was in a shock to hear how much ‘stereotyping, attitudes, and implicit prejudice’ played a bigger role to see this boy punished rather than getting to the truth of the situation, and finding the reality of the case, especially when someone’s life is dependent on their decision.

The judgement upon the person being prosecute has to be fair, however, as the cases grow in number, reporting fake cases can also be found. “Thierry, now 51, went to trial on four counts of first-degree child rape and two counts of first-degree child molestation,” but “Thierry denied ever abusing the boy, arguing the child might have made up the story because he was unhappy with Thierry.” “A jury convicted Thierry on all counts, and Superior Court Judge Stanley Rumbaugh sentenced him to 26 years of life in prison.” When deputy prosecutor Sanchez is said to have misconducted a case, “The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office argued, that Sanchez did not explicitly ask the jury to convict Thierry for that reason” but “the appellate panel rejected those arguments.” Also, “the panel also denied Sanchez misrepresented defense attorney Jane Pierson’s closing argument, the result of which was “to unfairly undermine Thierry’s

In regards to this weeks discussion forum, I can understand why there may be a situation in which a prosecutor may destroy evidence of a defendant's guilt, but I do not feel it is acceptable in any situation that may occur. I would presume there have been cases; such as self defense, where the defendant may be in trial for manslaughter even though they were legitimately defending themselves. Given the nature of the situation, coupled with certain emotional feelings or biases the prosecutor may have towards the defendant, I could see where this type of action may occur. The moral lapse of judgment, coupled with the knowledge that prosecutors have immunity from civil liability from procedural functions may as well impact their decision making

The purpose of law is to define behavior and conduct that is acceptable in a society. “Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor,”(1) was said by Theodore Rosevelt in regards to how important the law is to a country. This is to ensure that people of a society are living in a place where they are free of fear, and able to reside in peace. Crime can be found throughout that world and is an unfortunate part of society, which must be dealt with in order to prevent the demise of law and order in a society. Martin Luther King Jr. said “Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they

In this cases the judge dishonest the oat he took. He was not honest and neutral of not involves himself in the case. He asked a witnesses to hide an evidence it is immoral act that not acceptable.
