The play Twelve Angry Men highlights the benefits and challenges of the jury system by highlighting how unanimous voting benefits the jury system.

Vance gives an inside look by telling stories of his life that are common circumstances in the hillbilly society.

I was not a Christian at this time, but this event played a significant role in both my conversion and recovery testimony. Everything in my life fell apart when my wife told me this news. She wanted nothing to do with me or our marriage. She left and never came back. My life completely

Midterm Paper: The Effects of Eyewitness Testimony in the US Criminal Justice System On December 14th, 1982, Marvin Anderson was sentenced to 210 years in prison for crimes that he did not commit [1].
