HW Mr. Padilla 4.15.16


Homework: Parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.

Option 1:

“If [the jury] sees it as a contest between the defense and the prosecution as to who's lying, they'll vote for the prosecution. The prosecutor walks around looking very important. No one is accusing her of being a bad person. They're accusing you of being a monster. The jury can ask itself, Why should the prosecutor lie?”

Explain what the problem is when the jury sees the case as a contest between defense and jury. Use your own words.


Option 2:

  1. Steve believes that “making you live is part of the punishment” (59). Do you agree with this?  Why?



  1. Why do YOU think everyone fights in prison?



  1. Why does Steve think the prosecution is parading witnesses with terrible character in front of the jury?





Option 3:

I like the last scene in the movie, the one between me and Jerry.  It makes me seem like a real person.

1.    Why does Steve like the last scene in the movie?


Petrocelli
Detective Karyl, when you discovered the body, were there any signs of life?

Karyl
No.  But I called 911.

2.    What did Karyl do after he discovered the body?


A Black detective, Arthur Williams, sit on the edge of the table.  He only looks a few years older than Steve.

3. Describe Arthur Williams.
