Case 2: Why do you think the defendant seemed to delay his answers? He seemed very slow when answering also his mother kept speaking to him before answering why do you think this was going on?

1. The defendant from the first cases seems to have an unhealthy relationship with his mother as he does not see her as a role model do you think this is going to pose a problem during his probation period?


2. The defendant was inconsistent with his story do you think he was keeping information from the jury because he was scared of his parents or was he saying the truth? His sentence was also equal to the first defendants community service hours why was this if he was inconsistent with his story line? 


3. How can we improve jury questioning in the court room?

November Case Questions

11/18/2014

 
Case 1: Do you think the defendant in the first case had some domestic problems such as abuse or other issues that would have made her commit the crime? If so what type of issues do you think she is facing? What can she do to overcome issues in her life?

Case 2: Defendant two seemed to be accompanied by both a good influence and a bad influence at the scene of the crime. Why might she have listen to the bad influence knowing that it was wrong and although she was warned not to do so?  Do you think peer pressure is more powerful than knowing between wrong and right and being warned?
