Anatomy of a Trial [Period 4, Class #7, 6-24]

"First off," Alex said. "Closing arguments. Only one of you went last week, so that means the rest of you should be prepared for today."

She set down a mug of hot tea and gave a somewhat sheepish look at her students. "Your final is ... less detailed than I'd intended. I'm afraid I've spent most of my free time this week dealing with some personal legal concerns. Be as brief or as exhaustive as you'd like, in your responses."

"And if anyone wants extra credit, then please research the ways in which one can obtain an annulment from the commonwealth of Virginia."

... No reason.

1a) Because most people aren't qualified to serve on a jury, so you have to weed out the ones that suck the most in order to get a marginally decent group.

1b) Would you be more inclined to trust a person's testimony if they are a police officer? Less likely?
