Watch the Law and Order Crime and Punishment video in the link above. It's approximately 55 minutes long. This is a real trial that was filmed just over a decade ago in San Diego. The producers of Law and Order created this show based on real San Diego prosecutors. Everything you see is real. However, remember that a trial may last 1-2 weeks, and it has to be condensed into a one-hour tv show. After you watch this trial, answer the following questions. Make sure your answers are detailed and specific. This assignment will not require any outside research.

Questions:

1. Describe the facts of this case. What crime was the defendant charged with?

2. Tell me about your impression of the prosecutor. Did he put on a strong case? What were his strengths? Did he have any weaknesses?

3. What is your impression of the defense attorney? Was a good job done of defending his client? Why or why not?

4. Discuss two of the witnesses. Were they believable? Why or why not?

5. What evidence did you find most compelling?

6. Did you agree with the jury's decision? Why or why not?
