reflection

1. Summarize the facts of the case, as presented by the prosecution. Include relevant witnesses and testimony.
The facts of the case from the prosecution was that the law violated the Constitution and three of the amendments. I believe it was the 14th the 6th and the 5th. they pointed it all out and had plenty of evidence to state there case. Another important piece of evidence was the difference between state and federal laws. The witnesses were very good choices they had the people who were involved in making the bills. they used them to clarify that what ever happens on American soil should have a fare trial.
2. Summarize the facts of the case, as presented by the defense. Include relevant witnesses and testimony.
The defense case was to protect there state because they had a lot of crimes committed by non citizens. they also talked about how they don't racial profile but they never gave us facts about how the officers were trained even the witness which happen to be an officer did not speak on how they decide who to question.


3. What was the most significant piece of evidence, in your personal opinion?
i believe bring up the constitution and amendments as well as federal and state laws was the best evidence of violation. I believe this because they trapped the defense they had nothing to say when these points were brought up. When all this was brought up it made the case more interesting.


4. What was the most significant argument made, in your opinion?
That is says no where in the constitution about Americans it say we the people. this was another part that i thought really trapped the defense. when this was brought up they had nothing to say in my heart i believe they even felt that the prosecution was right.


5. What do you personally believe the correct verdict should be? Do you agree with the jury? Why or why not?
i agree with the jury because i for one was on the jury and because everything the prosecution said i agreed with. This case just made my opinion a more educated one.


Then, in a final paragraph (or in a private email to me), complete the following:


I think I deserve a _45__ out of 50 points because..... I did the following things very well.... because.... I could have done better at .... by.....
as a jury member i took notes and asked questions when i felt it was unclear. i also when we had to make a final decision spoke a lot and added to the conversation as much as possible without excluding others. So i believe i have done what i can as the jury .
