1. E-folio Personal 12 Angry Men To compare and contrast 1957 jury to now Guilty or not guilty. I choose Guilty because their was an eye witness saying that she saw the kid kill his father. Then, when the they found the knife. Also when the men below them heard them fighting and then heard a body fall to the floor and saw the boy running out of the room. They voted again and now they are at nine votes for not guilty and 3 for guilty. $1000 each actor made for the entire movie. I changed my vote I think he is not guilty because of the points they made for example the time it took the old man to get to the door of the kids apartment. Then, if the kid did do it the way he supposedly killed was the wrong of the knife. Another reason was when the old man figured out that the women could not have worn her glasses. So that could have blurred her vision. Then, they all decided not guilty.

Such an application would ordinarily require the services of an attorney. First, if you feel that you may be target of a criminal investigation or that your testimony may implicate you in criminal activity, however remote, you should immediately consult an attorney. Second, if there is any question in your mind about the validity of the subpoena, you should consider challenging the subpoena by applying to the proper court before you appear at the time and place designated by the subpoena. • You risk being held in contempt of court, even if the subpoena was not signed by a judge • http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/judiciary/hju26913.000/hju26913_0.HTM • http://www.igpa.info/
