Question #5: Imagine that you have been charged of running a red light. You are innocent, of course, and decide to contest the ticket in court. You have 4 separate arguments to make, differing in strength (A: really strong, B: strong, C: somewhat strong, D: not too strong). The judge will hear your case, then later retire to his chambers to make a decision. To make the best impression on the judge during his deliberations, in what order should you present your 4 arguments? Explain why based on memory research. I would make my strong defense first because of the primacy effect. It will be remembered fairly well. Then I’d make my weaker points second. That is the one that will not be remembered very well. Then I would go on to present my somewhat strong defense which is not recalled very well at all. Finally, I’d argue my really strong defense last, because of the recency effect which will be remembered best. Hopefully, the memory of my strong and really strong defenses would influence the judge’s decision in my

    Since the prosecution holds the burden of proof, they go first. When the prosecution examines a witness, they ask a chain of questions that that emphasize the elements of the crime and establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt. For the Sandoval case, their goals were to prove that he went back to the scene of the crime with intent to harm or kill, that he was capable of killing and that he did kill the victim. When Sandoval did take the stand, he was forced to answer questions that showed that he had no real reason to go back unless it was motivated through revenge and gave reasons why he would want to get revenge. I think a really effective witness was the paramedic that treated the victim. I thought it was a nice use of the witness because he mentioned details on the stabbing which brought to light that the victim appeared to have more offensive wounds. A strong point was made when the prosecutor mentioned that if it were a self-defense altercation then the victim would most likely have slash-like wounds instead of stab-like wounds. By far I think the worst witness for the prosecution would have been Officer Gassman. He did not submit adequate reports which I believe had a significant impact on the case. With respect to the prosecutions examinations, the defense got to cross-examine the witnesses. His goal was to show that the…
