Post trial reflection

1. Summarize the facts of the case, as presented by the prosecution. Include relevant witnesses and testimony.

The law promoted racial profiling and was unconstitutional and violated the 4, 5, 6,  and 15 amendments.

John Adams-testified about the alien and sedation  acts

James Madison- 5 and 14 amendment    

Raul Grijalva- the representative  of Arizona's 7th district spoke out about how the bill promotes racial profiling 

  

2. Summarize the facts of the case, as presented by the defense. Include relevant witnesses and testimony.

The law was under the legal jurisdiction on the state and helped to protect the citizens of Arizona. 

Jan Brewer- the governor of Arizona     

Russell Pierce- the commissioner of Ellis Island during it's peak immigration years talked about Ellis Island

Robbert Watchhorn- read SB 1070    

3. What was the most significant piece of evidence, in your personal opinion?

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution  

4. What was the most significant argument made, in your opinion?

That the bill promoted racial profiling and how can you tell if someone is an immigrant.

5. What do you personally believe the correct verdict should be? Do you agree with the jury? Why or why not?

I believe that the verdict was correct because the law promotes racial profiling and is unfair




I think I deserve a 41 out of 50 points because I worked hard and tried to know as much about the case as I could. I did a lot of research on Raul Grijalva and helped out my lawyers. I could have done better at helping my lawyers write the questions earlier.  

Optional Assignment

"Like Mark Twain, Mr. Vonnegut used humor to tackle the basic questions of human existence: Why are we in this world? Is there a presiding figure to make sense of all this, a god who in the end, despite making people suffer, wishes them well?
He also shared with Twain a profound pessimism. “Mark Twain,” Mr. Vonnegut wrote in his 1991 book, 'Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage,” “finally stopped laughing at his own agony and that of those around him. He denounced life on this planet as a crock. He died.'"
