Ransom Of Red Chief Case Study

Holding: Kelbel's conflicting explanations for Kailyn's injuries did not coincide with testimonies given my medical examiners, Lindsey, Olster, and a neighbor, so the court holds that evidence presented is sufficient for the jury to reach a verdict. The court also concludes

A prosecutor must show the judge or jury that there is no reasonable doubt of your guilt.

The Ransom of Red Chief Trial court case for our class was a success. Overall the verdict was guilty. I was one of the jury in this case. The prosecutors and the defense team both gave great evidence. Prosecutor team told us how Bill and Sam persuaded red Chief to go with by using candy, also they presented the ransom note that was written by the two. There was also an eye witness when the kidnapping went down.

Facts by the people, the defendant placed the victim in fear of physical injury, by verbally abusing her. The defendant grabbed and broke her mirror, choked her and threw chairs at and toward the victim. On September 25th

In both, the short story and movie “Ransom of Red Chief” Red Chiefs father wants the kidnappers to pay him to take his son back. In the story they changed the ransom money of $2000 to $1500 because Bill didn’t think the kid was worth that much. Also in both the story and movie Bill and Sam had the same nicknames Red Chief gave them. A clear difference between them both is that in the short story the characters camped in a cave and in the movie they camped in the woods. In the short story Sam went into town to see if people are talking about Red Chief, but in the movie he pays some kids to see about Red Chief.

In the story, “Ransom of Red Chief” there was many similarities and differences, between the short story and movie. In the short story they went in to the spooky cave. Bill and Sam had an old buggy also. In the short story they had assorted candy to get Red Chief to go with them. In the movie, they did not give Red Chief candy.

The accused, or defendant, is presumed to be innocent unless proven guilty. The jury must decide "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the defendant is guilty.

The Story and The Movie of, Ransom of Red Chief were two different aspects. They had the same sequence, the same setting and the same characters. Also it was a couple things that was different, that happened in the story, but happened different in the movie. The things that happened in the story was the men had a buggy in the movie he had a car. Also in the story he fought back when the men tried to kidnap him.

In the case of a crime assault and suspicion of rape of a 14 year-old girl; Jones, Walsh and Bert were arrested. During the investigation, the police obtain statement from a man name Bland providing additional information that suspect Jones was involved in three separate assaults and rapes of juveniles over three days. The prosecution filed charges against Jones, Walsh and Bert for their involvement in the crime. The suspect, Bert then hired an attorney to defend him and explains to his lawyer that he did not participate in any acts of raping these girls and that he was only present one time with Jones and all he did was hit one of the girls. Bert also goes on to say that he can prove this because at the times the other rapes are alleged to have occurred, he was with Mook, who is currently out of the country on a mountain climbing trip and will not return for 2 months. Bland also contacts the prosecutor’s office and provides a written statement to the prosecutor that Walsh was not present during any of the rapes. (Case Study, n.d.)

 3.As the victim, you personally experienced the wrong or injury; therefore you can argue the facts of the case as well as any lawyer.

The Ransom of Red Chief trial argued their way. In my opinion the Prosecutors had the most credible evidence due to why Sam and Bill are guilty. The prosecution team won the case against the dense. Both got most their evidence from the movie because it actually showed what was being done. They both had points they showed was right but the prosecutors showed that Sam and Bill was wrong for kidnapping so the verdict was fair.

A vote was cast and 11 men voted guilty and 1 men voted innocent. The deliberation then started and the case was argued because someone’s life was placed in their hands. Evidence was brought to the table such as the knife and there was an exact replicate of the “one of a kind” knife that was at the crime scene. The old man who lived in an apartment directly below the teenage boy said he saw the boy flee the crime scene in 15 second, evidence however proved that the old man could not have seen the boy flee the crime scene in 15 seconds as said. Additionally a woman across the street said she saw the young man stab his father with the knife however, logics proved that the woman was not wearing her glasses at the time of d murder which indicated that her eye sight was not 100%.

The author of the novel, Ransom is David Malouf. His writing style is about the shifts in the characters’ feelings and he writes using literary writing style. The literary writing style is when the author uses words to create the mood of different characters.

Further, although I agree with Ransom that moral reflection can be of a person's experience in general, which may include one's actions, motivations, emotions, etc, my focus here is the status of one's moral knowledge. Thus, the kind of moral reflection I will talk about would be either reflections directly on one's moral beliefs (or what one take to be her moral knowledges), and more fundamentally, one's value systems (in Scheler's words, one's order of love), or moral reflection of one's experience (including emotions, motivations, actions, etc.) for the purpose of reflection upon her moral knowledge. Example of the latter would be reflection on how certain emotion or hidden motivation of a person distorts some of her moral beliefs or

About a year ago, I participated in a mock trial in school. A mock trial is meant to imitate a real trial, taking place inside of a courtroom with a fake jury and judge evaluating each side. However, different to a real trial, what is being judged on is not based upon evidence. Instead, the things that were important were what each side does with the evidence provided in the example case we were given and our abilities to make our point clear. Both my small, five-person class and another class from a different school were performing in the mock trial. The students in my class and the other class both had to act the parts of both an attorney and a witness, but because of my small class, I had the parts of two attorneys and two witnesses.
