MGSC12H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Knife Fight, Analytical Skill, Budget Constraint
Document Summary
Beyond a reasonable doubt = firmly convinced. Fight between father and son at 8 pm => motive. Little chance the true killer had a knife like the murder weapon. No one saw defendant at theatre (alibi doubtful) Son could have stabbed downward (not a knife fight) Witnesses (landlord, woman with glasses) had no reason to lie. Not wearing glasses doesn"t mean she couldn"t see the son murdering the father. Landlord still might have been able to see son running out. Conclusion: evidence is strong enough to convict. Don"t know at what point the man started walking towards the door. Generally diff stage b/w conviction & sentencing stage. In this case, the judge said it"s a death sentence or nothing: evaluate the management skills in a jury context displayed by jurors 8 (architect), 4 (stockbroker), 12 (advertising executive). Be more patient & listen to everyone. Don"t let personal bias come in the way. Ask ppl to give reasons for their stance.
