In Reply to: Little help identifing specific scenes...... posted by LongOdds on January 21, 2003 at 15:47:45:
: Trying to write a paper for an evidence class (law school) involving scenes from modern film......
: If anyone can think of any scenes that involve any of the following, I would be extremely thankful....
: 1. Scene involving a defendants right to confront his accuser.
: 2. Scene involving a witnesses testimony concerning the defendants character (opinion and reputation in the community).
: 3. Scene involving hearsay (excited utterance, dying declaration, etc.). This one may be difficult.
: The movie doesnt need to be any good, or even a "legal" movie, I just need specific scenes that relate to the course.
: So far, I am thinking about Devils Advocate (Jury Selection), A Time to Kill (Attacking credibility of expert witness), and Primal Fear (Attorney-Client Privilege).
: Any advice, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
