    Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, W.R. Grace and Beatrice foods have polluted the aquifer located under East Woburn. There is no question of this, as testimony from workers such as Al Love show that they have spilled, poured and dumped TCE, or Trichloroethylene. Mr. Reilly testified that he should have known what was happening on the 15 acres of property he leased out to the Whitney barrel company. By dumping TCE and other chemicals onto the ground, these companies introduced these harmful substances into the environment, particularly the aquifer underneath. These chemicals are not industrial revolution chemicals; they are modern, harmful chemicals that have adverse health affects.…

    Candidate Holthe's five paragraph order was clear and concise. It was easy to understand and flowed well. However, he did brief parts as more of a check in the box without applying them to the execution. For example, he briefed hand and arm signals when they were clearly communicating utilizing voice. Initially he identified security but he then told them it would not be necessary so he did not establish it. SNC briefed a concise scheme of maneuver and his tasks were clear in order to accomplish the mission. SNC did fail to make the necessary adjustments to his plan in a timely manner. When it was clearly evident that his plan was not working he did not make an adjustment until eight minutes into the execution phase. SNC did not move…

    Cross-examination is critical during litigation. Many cases have to be proven based on solely witness testimony because of the lack of physical evidence. Therefore, the responsibility of a witness to tell the truth relies on methods to encourage witnesses to maintain their credibility. According to Gardner and Anderson in their book Criminal Evidence: Principles and Cases, the witnesses must take an oath or affirmation that their say will be true and the witnesses must be personally present at the trial in order to ensure the right to confront as stated in the Sixth Amendment. Finally, witnesses are subject to cross-examination. But if it is found that the witness lies, he or she is taking the risk to be charged with perjury or in contempt if the witness refuses to answer a question, unless it is protected by privilege (Gardner and Anderson, 2010).…

    In the novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo talks about how the hunchbacks trial is unfair and about Quasimodo's punishment is for kidnapping La Esmeralda. Quasimodo is deaf and so is the judge so neither of them know when they are being talked to. Once Quasimodo is being interrogated, he starts to answer questions that have been asked previously while the judge is asking new questions. The audience is laughing so the judge assumes he is being rude and sends him to the pillory for an extra hour. Evidence that supports this claim is when Hugo wrote, “But, first of all, as we have already observed, Master Florian did not care to have his deafness noticed. Secondly, he was so stone deaf that he did not hear one word that the clerk…
