Example Of A Jury Report
May it please the court.
Your honour, members of the jury, I am Natalie Fong and I will represent the plaintiff side. To my left and right are my colleagues Ally Chan and Chloe Li.
Imagine this- a make-you-own-jewellry set, easy to make by spraying water on the beads. You could make bracelets, necklaces-it was everything a kid could want! It was the perfect gift! Until, it took a child's life.
Members of the jury, this is Andy Davis, a widowed woman working two jobs, who does everything in her power to ensure her children can have a warm home and hot meals. Times were tough, but they were happy.
Mrs. Davis had two children, Joey and Hillary. When it was Hillarys 10th birthday, it was the perfect time to gift Hillary the Princess Beads that …show more content…
she so desperately wanted. Hillary was so happy. She loved the beads.
However, members of the jury, the seemingly safe Princess Beads had a lethal secret- it contained a chemical called 1.4 butendiol which would be matobolized into GHB, a date rape drug, when ingested.
August 8, 2009 was supposed to be a normal day. Andy was preparing for an interview for a full time job, hoping to bring good news to her children. However, after one fateful phone call, Andy's life was changed forever, and Joey would never hear the good news again.
Members of the jury, if any of you are parents, or even aunts and uncles-you will understand the grief, and anguish of losing a loved child.
This is what Andy Davis felt, receiving the news of Joey's death. Joey had ingested 25 beads and vomited, seizing at one point, then falling into a coma in the hospital. At around 2:02 on August 8th, 2009- Joey was pronounced dead by respiratory arrest. Joey Davis had suffered and died, because of the Princess Beads.
Your honour, members of the jury, today my client Andy Davis has accused Happyland Toy Company of manufacturing a defective product, the Princess Beads, which led to her son Joey Davis's fatal respiratory arrest.
We, the plaintiff side, will prove that Joey Davis's death was directly foreseeable and he suffered harm as a direct and proximate result of the defects present in the Happyland beads. In other words, we ask that you find Happyland Toy Company liable beyond a reasonable doubt.
Members of the jury, I beg you to consider three questions. First, did Happyland Toy Company manufacture a defective product? Second, did Joey Davis suffer harm? Third, was the harm caused to Joey Davis a direct and proximate result of the Princess Beads? If you find that the answer is YES to these questions, then you must find the defense
liable.
The plaintiff will call out three witnesses. Firstly, you're going to hear from Andy Davis, mother of Joey Davis. She's going to provide her side of the story and what she thought about the Happyland beads.
Secondly, you're going to hear from Tristan Frost, a journalist specializing in undercover journalism, who had gone undercover in Happyland Toy Company as Blake Lexington's, CEO of Happyland's, secretary. Hes going to tell us how Happyland rushed the Princess Beads and blurred the safety lines, knowing that 1.4 butendiol might convert into GHB, but continued to manufacture the beads anyways.
Thirdly, youre going to hear from Dr. Chase Tuchmont, an expert clinical toxiologist, who is going to provide his professional opinion on the cause and source of Joey's death.
Nothing we do can bring Joey back. But, your honour, members of the jury, we can ensure that this does not happen again. We can ensure that companies can never place a deadly drug on a child's product again. We can ensure that Joey Davis's death- will not be in vain.
Thank you your honour, members of the jury and members of the audience for your attention.
