第四張Or we can see the simple one
Throughout the United States there are two judicial systems.
One system consists of state and local courts established under the authority of the state governments. The other is the Supreme Court and the federal court system, created by Congress under the authority of the Constitution of the United States.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the federal court system which was established in 1789. Below the Supreme Court are the courts of appeals, and below them in turn are the district courts, which are the general trial courts for federal law. In addition ,there are two courts of special jurisdiction
Next main point is about The American Jury system
About O.J.Simpson's case
Before 1994, NFL football player O. J. Simpson murder case become was America's most sensational events. The case was the trial of twists and turns, O.J. Simpson with a knife to kill his ex-wife and restaurant waiter Ron Gorman two counts of first-degree murder crime refers to control, due to the police a few blunders caused strong evidence of the failure, to acquitted, only to be civil judged to be responsible for the death of two people. The case has also become the history of the United States suspected crimes innocence of the biggest case
The Role of Jury Trials
In most common law jurisdictions, the jury is responsible for finding the facts of the case, while the judge determines the law. These "peers of the accused" are responsible for listening to a dispute, evaluating the evidence presented, deciding on the facts, and making a decision in accordance with the rules of law and their jury instructions. Typically, the jury only judges guilt or a
verdict of not guilty, but the actual penalty is set by the judge.
In the United States, because jury trials tend to be high profile, the general public tends to overestimate the frequency of jury trials. Approximately 150,000 jury trials are conducted in state courts in the U.S., and an additional 5,000 jury trials are conducted in federal courts. Two-thirds of jury trials are criminal trials, while one-third are civil and "other" (e.g., family, municipal ordinance, traffic). Nevertheless, the vast majority of cases are in fact settled by plea bargain, which removes the need for a jury trial.
The plot of12 Angry Men revolves around the murder trail of a Latino boy who is accused of killing his father.The conviction of the boy would mean a death sentence and the destiny of the boy's life is in the hands of twelve male jurors of ranging personalities.The case seems open and shut with a murder weapon and several witnesses to place the boy at the scene of the crime.For eleven of the jurors the decision is apparent that the boy is guilty but for one juror,Mr.Davis (Hey Fonda),the boy's life should entail some discussion to eliminate any reasonable doubt the jurors may have.As the film progresses the personalities of the jurors become apparent and many underlying issues influence the guilty decision chosen by the majority of the jurors.
The underlying issues are the complexity of the personalities of the jurors and the reasons why they have the motivation to feel and act the way they do.As the case unfolds further,more is learned about each juror individually.The personalities range from being a short-tempered loud mouth to a straight- laced accountant who never breaks a sweat.As the movie progresses much more is learned of the characters that exposes the intricacy of human nature and people's different personality traits.
This film is an excellent example of movie making that does not require elaborate sets to entertain the viewer.The majority of the film takes place in a jury room with the men never leaving the room from their deliberation responsibilities.The cast and dialogue make this film memorable and the film has some clear moral issues that are addressed.The main issue is that not everything is as it seems.With further analysis the understanding of a situation becomes more concrete enabling the men to make a solid decision that affects a young man's life.12 Angry Men is a classic film that should not be missed.
From what have been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that the American jury system have the two-sided , but anything existing must be reasonable .Thank you for your attention.
