Pretend you’re on the jury
This is for my conventional law class and we have to watch the videos and pretend we are members of the jury, and analyze the case, and decide the results.
We are going to look at a fairy tail trial. Part 1 and part 2 are below. You are a member of the jury…..
Watch the YouTube videos and then answer the questions that follow….
PART 1 ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zyMY_qaXhI&t=472s
PART 2 ~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Oso-n2vQ_U&t=90s
Now that the trial is over it is YOU, the jury, who will determine guilt or innocence of Goldie Locks. In order to come up with a decision, you will discuss the important constitutional issues that came up during the investigation and trial. If any part of the constitution is violated, it might require you to exclude evidence. The less evidence you are able to use, the less likely it is that you will have enough to find Goldie guilty.

- Was the Search of Goldie Locks and Seizure of the cell phone constitutional?
- Was Goldie Locks properly Mirandized?
