Descrizione


The shooting of Derek Kramer, a thirty-two-year-old white man, leads to the arrest of Eugene Bishop, a black undercover cop. After initialing denying any involvement in Derek's death, Eugene changes his story and claims that he shot Derek when he was threatened with lethal force. But the evidence at the scene doesn't seem to support his claim of self-defense, and he is charged with first degree murder. The case against Eugene is based entirely on circumstantial evidence, which leads to a contentious and difficult trial that hinges on how the jurors interpret the rule that applies to circumstantial evidence. Here is the instruction that the judge must read to the jury before they begin their deliberations: Before you may rely on circumstantial evidence to find the defendant guilty, you must be convinced that the only reasonable conclusion supported by the circumstantial evidence is that the defendant is guilty. If you can draw two or more reasonable conclusions from the circumstantial evidence and one of those reasonable conclusions points to innocence and another to guilt, you must accept the one that points to innocence. Obviously, the rules surrounding circumstantial evidence are favorable to the defense, but the prosecution has another hurdle to overcome in this trial. The day before Derek Kramer was killed, he had been fired from his job, and that night, he made a number of threats that were directed at those he had formerly worked with. Eugene Bishop, along with a few others, had been with Derek when he made the threats to commit mass murder, and the prosecutor is concerned that Eugene's defense is actually based on a concept called jury nullification. Jury nullification occurs when the members of a jury believe that a defendant is guilty but choose to acquit the person because they feel the law they are being asked to uphold is unjust or because they believe the punishment for the crime is far too harsh. An obvious example of jury nullification would be a mother who murders, in cold blood, a man who had been convicted of raping and murdering her daughter. The woman makes a full confession to the crime, and there is even a videotape of the mother shooting the man, but the jury acquits the woman because they cannot bear—and do not think it is just—to send the mother to prison. Thus, the prosecutor must contend with the possibility that some members of the jury may feel that Eugene, although he may have technically committed murder, saved many lives. In the end, the results are not quite as clear as some might like, but this only means that the reader is the real juror in this very challenging case where the scales of justice are so evenly balanced between the competing forces of the law and the safety of innocent people.
