Address the following:

• Provide an overview of the events that happened, in the Fall River, Massachusetts police officer brutality case (Fall River police officer Nicholas Hoar, and victim William Harvey) as the introduction.
• Discuss the use of Nicholas Hoar's excessive force incident in detail.
• What was the makeup of the jury used during the trial? Was this jury fair representation of the location of Fall River?
• Why and how was Hoar's conviction viewed as a "break" from the norm in jury selection and outcome? Were there any decision-making points within the criminal justice system that determined discrimination?
• Share your own personal thoughts on police officers being convicted and not convicted. Do you think that in the case of Nicholas Hoar, the case showed suspect bias?
