Trial Reflection

Post Trial Reflection

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

James Madison stated he was against illegal immigration and concluded that everyone has a right to a fair trial from the constitution. The prosecution defense said several things that they thought were unconstitutional. Raul Griphialdo explained how immigration was and still is essential to the United States. After WW2, he told us that the immigrants were contracted to work for in America. John Adam’s was also called up to the stand. She told us what she was significant for. Both sides did cross examination on the witness. Based off of the prosecution’s statements and examinations really helped formulate my decision. They also asked questions that led to explaining the amendments and how those amendments were relevant to the case.

2. Summarize the facts of the cases presented by the defense. Include relevant witnesses and testimony.

The defense, however, seemed to use a lot of repetition in their line of questioning. It seemed like they didn’t have a lot of questions. The defense kept asking if someone of the witness were slave owners, the prosecution objected to the defense because they were irrelevant. Also some of the questions from the defense could have been paraphrased or clarified. There were a few questions that were a bit vague. They could have gathered more evidence to support their ideas. I had trouble trying to follow what they were getting to. It’s not that I’m bias; I just didn’t think that they would convince me to vote for the state of Arizona

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

The prosecution had an array of significant pieces of evidence and it seemed like they were better organized and had relevant arguments to the case. They carved deeper into their witnesses’ thoughts. The most significant pieces were when the prosecution asked James Madison to read some of the amendments.

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

The most significant argument made in my opinion, was when Calvin asked James Madison if he was a slave owner. Madison replied yes. The prosecution was kind of confused. I think they we’re expecting James Madison to say no. James Madison’s philosophical beliefs are implemented and are in the constitution.

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

I believe the verdict is correct because I feel that it’s not fair to be pulled over on the side of the road just because you look like an immigrant. That’s a ridiculous and unjust. This law should not be enforced. The governor of Arizona is a bias republican conservative. What she is doing is not reasonable for the people of Arizona. What if someone who has the documentation to prove that he is a legal citizen of the United States of America is sent to jail or deported. Does that mean that everyone who looks like a foreigner
