Chris Pavano and his friends were surprised to see a person who turned out to be Jordan Abram’s mother. Jordan Abram’s mother than proceeded to start screaming statements such as “Don’t flirt with me!’ waking up the rest of the Abram’s family. Chris and his friends, now knowing that the house was inhabited began to leave. From there, Jordan Abrams, who gave no warning, shot Chris Pavano for the stairwell; he later died of his wounds. Loren Lucas an eyewitness of the murder and one of the deceased’s friends said this in her witness statement, “A split second later, we heard another voice from the upstairs ledge scream, “Green light!” Looking back, I know that must have been that crazy Jordan Abrams who’d said that. The woman looked up to the figure on the second floor and yelled, “No! No!” Then POW! A gunshot!” The woman mentioned in the statement was Jordan Abram’s mother. Jordan Abram’s mother is not here with us today because on August 30, 2013, the same day the accused shot and killed Chris Pavano, she experienced another stroke which has made her unable to

Hurst's Sixth Amendment Essay

1820 Words | 8 Pages

I am writing separately because I do not believe Florida’s sentencing scheme violates Hurst’s sixth amendment. I agree with the dissent that Apprendi and Ring should be overruled in favor of something more in line with Walton and our precedent prior to the new millennium. I concur in the judgment, however, because the jury’s role in Florida’s capital sentencing scheme is unconstitutional. Florida does not require unanimity or a feeling of responsibility by the jury in the death sentencing scheme. Also, Florida only requires a simple-majority vote to render its verdict instead of one that is unanimous.

Boston Marathon Bombing Trial

460 Words | 2 Pages

Over 1,300 prospective jurors completed questionnaires for a chance to serve on a panel of jurors in Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Boston Marathon Bombing trial. Of those prospective jurors, the judge presiding over the trial narrowed down the jury pool to just over 250 people through the process of voir dire. By personally interviewing each prospective juror individually, the judge is able to determine which of those jurors are the most qualified and competent to serve on a trial jury. The 250 jury prospects were eventually whittled down to a mere 18, 12 of whom sat on the jury panel for the duration of the trial and 6 of whom were alternates.

Prejudice In The Way Of Truth In Twelve Angry Men By Reginald Rose

569 Words | 3 Pages

In the play Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose, we can see that prejudice gets in the way of truth. Many of the jurors that participated have let prejudice get in their way to see the truth and look at the real situation and facts, for example, Juror Three, who “is a very strong, very forceful, extremely opinionated man within whom can be detected a streak of sadism… is intolerant of opinions other than his own, and accustomed to forcing his wishes upon others.” He has a son that he identifies as a “tough guy”, which is one of the descriptions of the 19-year-old accused, Juror Three let the image of his own son be reflected on the boy and made him think unfairly. Getting to the bottom of a complex issue takes time and effort. At the beginning of the play, most jury members wanted to get over the case and go home as early as they could, but one of the jury members, Juror Eight, who was sure the boy was not guilty, took many hours to question the evidence and the case and murder itself, but he was not the only one as other jury members also spoke about what they thought in the past options, fairly quick, it was almost six in the evening and Juror Six wanted to leave to go to his family, it may have been more of an excuse to leave, but the jurors did not let him leave because they had gone far enough to decide where the trial was going

To the dutiful members of the jury, my team and I thank you for being a part of this painfully tedious process. It is up to you and your civic duty to establish the fate of this case and this man. We highly suggest that you listen to your heart, do you personally believe that this man should be exonerated? Should we allow a man, a creation of the slums and wittingly knows his way around a knife, walk free? There is no doubt that there’s a level of surmounting evidence that he is guilty, he has the track record of a criminal and it was about time that he would murder someone.
