What Is A Jury Unlucky

There was a very unlucky man who would do anything to change his fortune around. He sold his soul to the devil and he knew there was no coming back from that. Even having good fortune and life could not shake the fact that he would have to answer to the devil soon. Good thing Jack McCoy said he'd defend him against the devil. The man's name was Jabari Silver. And this is where it all ended. The door was blown opened and here came the jury. Just by looking at them Silver was already scarred for life. The jury had some of the most ruthless criminals ever. Charles Milles Manson is the founder of Manson Family group, involved in murder and burglary. Theodore Robert Bundy was an American serial

Adam Lanza brought terror to Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School by killing twenty first graders and six faculty members. Ted Kaczynski the domestic terrorist responsible for more than a dozen bomb attacks. Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were American outlaws and robbers from the Dallas. One after the other were coming through the door stating their name and crimes. The devil's says “I’m satisfied with this jury are you Mr.McCoy”. All the jury members were from america and McCoy says, “were satisfied now lets begin” “But let's not forget the judge of this trail”. ,says the devil. William O. Douglas is the man waiting in the judge's seat, he has some experience being a judge but not for this kind of thing. This trail is in motion for the reception of Mr.Silver's soul. With the member in the jury being who they were it did not look good for the defense. McCoy faced a lot of jurors in his day but this may be one of the hardest trails he has to face. It was clear who's said the jurors and judge were on whenever McCoy would object the judge would say, “Objection denied”. Whenever the devil would object something the judge would say, “Objection sustained”. The Devil's arguments …show more content…
The best strategy to win the trial was to show the jurors that we are all like how the devil is not. McCoy went on about how it was like to be a man and how our country is. Through the struggles and hardship to the good time and simple things. He showed the jury and the judge the side of him they can relate to even through terrible things they have all done in the past. McCoy shows that we are all human and make mistakes therefore no one is the perfect human-being. He talked about what it was like to be enslaved and also to be free. Without all the suffering we americans went through our country would not be how it is today. He explained the struggle of Mr.Silver and how he was just trying to help his family. He was telling the story of our country's history. There is not one person that does not get tricked or fooled into things but it's an endless journey, yours may end but there will always be someone here, living the same things all over again. It took a man to do it not a demon… That is how Mr.McCoy's closing argument finished. Wait on the jury's verdict felt like a lifetime. Jabari was sitting in the seat even more scared then he was before. The devil had an evil grin on his face like he was about to get exactly want he wanted. To be honest no one there knew what to expect, the devil seemed to be winning the whole time during the trial until the closing argument. The

    In writing his novel “Monster”, Walter Dean Myers used his experience to keep the judicial system relevant to his points while still realistic. Steve’s attorney, O’Brien, is honest about her role in the system to Steve, telling him, “My job is to make sure the law works for you as well as against you.” Instead of pretending to be crusading for a not guilty verdict, O’Brien tells the truth that she intends to help hunt down the truth both for and against Steve as an unbiased tool of the court. This means that she will insure that the jury’s predispositions do not change their verdicts, that the prejudice of the court doesn’t change the evidence given in court, and that the evidence against Steve is legitimate and/or nonexistent.…

    Monster O Brien Summary

    Monster presents its audience with a unique experience: they get to decide the fate of the main character by being presented with the facts, before the judge presents the final sentencing. It is a story of racism and class and how that affects the judicial system. The idea maybe innocent until proven guilty, but in many cases of African Americans on trial, the sentence is often decided before the trial begins. This conflict of race not only applies to the person on trial and the judicial courtroom, but can find itself with the lawyers that defend them. At the end of Monster, Steve Harmon’s lawyer, Kathy O’Brien, turns away from Steve after he has been found innocent of murder. We, as the readers, are never…

    Steve Arey and Terry Jordan were young, inexperienced lawyers who should have never even been considered for a capital case. Judge Persin, the presiding Judge in the case, however, decided on these two gentlemen because other more experienced lawyers refused to take the case because of the huge financial sacrifice it would require. Albeit public speculation that Judge Persin's previous profession as a prosecutor had led him to heavily favor the prosecution, his decision stood. The two prosecutors who Arey and Jordan would be opposed by were Mickey McGlothlin and Tom Scott. Both prosecutors had far more experience than the defense lawyers, but that didn't stop Judge Persin from appointing Arey and Jordan to the case. It was an obvious mismatch, intentional or not, and was just the beginning of many problems that would arise for the defendant's case.…

    FACTS: Nine young black boys riding in an open train car were involved in a fight. When the fight ceased, two white women claimed the black boys raped them. Once the boys got off the train in Scottsboro, Alabama, police picked them up and placed them in jail. The men appeared in court, frightened, and unrepresented. The defendants were charged with a capital offence and therefore had the right for counsel to be appointed to them by the court. However, the court decided to call on the lawyers from the surrounding area. Of course no lawyer came to their defense. The day before the case, on April 6, a lawyer took their case. Because he was not able to prepare an adequate defense 8 of the 9 defendants were convicted and sentenced to death.…

    During the mock trial, both sides introduced their claims. The prosecuting side argued that Bigger should be sentenced to death and the defense side argued that Bigger acted upon insanity and should be put in rehabilitation. Each side brought up a witness and each witness got questioned from both parties. Prosecution went up first, then defense. After all the questioning of the witnesses, both sides got to close with their conclusions. The overall case went very well. Each side did a great job, this including my opponents. Obviously I didn’t want my opponents to do well, but they did a very great job. Each witness had played their roles very well and looked prepared when coming up to the stand. The prosecuting team’s lawyers, were as well, great at their roles. They asked questions that provoked my defense side’s witnesses, but we did well in answering them. Coming to this point, was easy and fun to do.…

    I took a seat in one of the rows and noticed there were cameras everywhere. The courtroom had this dark wood encapsulating the room and behind the judges seat was a U.S. flag and also the Utah flag. Soon the attorneys entered and I heard one of them say “Yeah, he was drunk and tried to enter so…” he stopped talking once he saw me. I realized they were discussing the case. One of the attorneys said “I wonder if she will accept it” and soon the bailiff entered the courtroom again and the attorneys asked if the judge was in. He said yes and the said “we might have a deal”. "Plea bargains are quite common in criminal cases. Thus trials in the United States (especially jury trials) are quite rare." (). Which is why I was excited to see a jury trial but from the way they were talking it didn’t sound like that was going to…

    2) McCoy's decision can be justified by a few reasons, in that he used his knowledge of Ethical Decisions to avoid Ethical Lapses in the matter. McCoy had actually shown a central force that affected his decisions into the matter, he was following the force of "Distancing from Responsibility" As he was trying to not get too personal with the decision at hand, this can be both a defense argument and a flaw. McCoy had developed his knowledge of avoiding ethical lapses. He introduced his ethical education into the matter which made it easier to come up with a fair decision. He also was trying to Lead by example to the others with him on the trip so that no one could jeopardize their activity.…
