Sacco and Vanzetti demand that they will not know Mike Boba or been seen at the garage, where Boba car was at. There was suspicious of them knowing about Mike Boba and where his car was. While being in custody, the District Attorney Fredrick Katzmann and Chief Stewart, did not mention why the men were being still stuck in custody. Chief Stewart did blast them about the robbery, and also the political beliefs and associates. When the investigation would dwindle down, the case came close to collapsing with the lack of evidence not brought in court. As the trial approaches, the men were tried separately, Katzmann prosecuted Vanzetti for the December Bridgewater holdup, then charge the both men with the Braintree murders that happened in April. As the case was coming into the light, the district attorney preceded the weaker case against Vanzetti and brought it to Judge Tuayer. Vanzetti ended up convicted and the judge gave a harsh sentence of 12-15 years to …show more content…

This trial was very special, so the judge had appointed to hear the case. As the case is coming to a beginning, D.A. Katzmann made his case around three main key evidence: (1) eyewitness of Saco and Vanzetti at the scene. (2) Expert ballistics testimony establishing Sacco’s gun as the weapon that he fired the fatal shot at Berardelli and Vanzetti gun as the one taken from the robbery. (3) The defendant evasive behavior both before and after arrest was made and the evidence of what is legally termed as “consciousness of deep guilt”. After trying to get the hard evidence against them, the district attorney decided to use another strategy and it was calling them anarchist and bringing politics into it, but the anarchist did not seem to holdup in the court of

    This is a “Bad Deal” suggested Alexander. She explores how the lack of representation ends into a plea deal by the prosecutor in a manner of giving the accused a favor. Even though, it locks a person in to only convicting him/herself. She knows that the prosecutor has the ultimate decision to dismiss or add additional charges, which holds the key to his/her life. I agree with Alexander because the prosecutor is like the ‘god of the courts.”

  • Why Is Mr Bennett Not Guilty For Murder

    572 Words  | 3 Pages

    Dear Jury Members:Mr.Bennett should not be found not guilty of murder because reasonable doubt is found. Although the prosecution thinks that Mr.Bennet is guilty for murder, they are wrong because since Mr.Alfario is an exterminator he had access to the poison that killed Mr.Adams, Mrs.Reid thought that when Mr.Adams died that she would inherit all his wealth, and the reason Mr. Bennett had poison on his hands because he had touched the puddle of coffee while checking Mr.Adams pulse on accident. To begin, Mr Bennett is not guilty because Mr Alfario had access to the poison, the same poison that killed Mr.adams. The police found out that Mr.Adams had died from rat poisoning and a coffee cup was found by Mr.Adams’s dead body, the cup contained rat poison.

  • Comparison Between Nicola Sacco And Bartolomeo Vanzetti

    654 Words  | 3 Pages

    While it may be a bit extreme to associate Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the image of two pure, well-intentioned individuals inequitably cheated by the legal system (they supported Luigi Galleani, an anarchist leader who committed several acts of terrorism and published newspapers that contained bomb-making manuals) the proclamation stated by the governor of Massachusetts in 1977 wasn’t incorrect in stating that the Sacco Vanzetti trial had been influenced by several unjust factors. In fact, Webster Thayer, who judged the infamous case, was quoted as saying to a group of friends early in the trial, “Did you see what I did to those anarchist [explicative deleted] the other day?” Based on this quote alone, it appears as though judge Thayer was driven by some ulterior motives in his decision making -perhaps the desire to punish anarchists for whatever reasons to which he owed the misfortune of despising them- a quality that in no way should ever characterize a judge. Not only was Webster Thayer incredibly biased, but evidence sufficient enough to prove the two men guilty was never supplied.

  • Amanda Knox Case

    Within minutes she is unconscious and Kercher’s assailants throw the duvet from her bed over her lifeless body, taking the murder weapon but leaving several bloody prints for the police to find during the investigation to ensue. Giuliano Mignini, the prosecutor of Amanda Knox and Rafaelle Sollecito in the murder trial of Meredith Kercher, portrayed the described sequence of events as unquestionable truth per the evidence collected by Italian police while the defense argued it was nothing more than a theory with no actual forensic evidence linking the accused to this account of the night in question. The prosecution depicted this information in a 20 minute HD video presentation which was viewed by the court multiple times during the proceedings. There was also extensive video footage presented during the trial which highlighted the poor handling and careless collection of evidence from the murder scene as well as from the apartment of Sollecito, which is where the kitchen knife was found. Key questions considered regarding the purported murder weapon went beyond whether an empty shoebox is an appropriate method of transport, however, as the blade did not match any of the wounds found on Kercher’s body nor did the cutlery match the bloody outline of a knife which was found on

  • Ethos Pathos In 12 Angry Men

    997 Words  | 4 Pages

    In his play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose brings us back in time to 1957, to a jury room of a New York Court of Law where one man, Juror #8, confronts the rest of the jury to look at a homicide case without prejudice, and ultimately convinces Juror #2, a very soft-spoken man who at first had little say in the deliberation. Throughout the play, many of the jurors give convincing arguments that make one think about whether the boy is “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ultimately, one is convinced by ethos, logos, and pathos. We can see ethos, logos, and pathos having an effect on Juror #2 as he begins as a humble man and changes into someone brave at the end. Although all three modes play a part in convincing Juror #2, pathos was the most influential
