Padlet Period 2 by Jonathan Ashley https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv 1. Based your reading of Chapter 3, was Walter McMillian given a fair trial? Do you think race played a part in the outcome of Walter's trial? 2. Do you think race still plays a part in the Criminal Justice system today? How much of the time (what percentage)? Where?...In Rancho Cucamonga? In the State of California? In other regions/parts of the United States? The United States, as a whole? en-us 2022-03-02 19:19:28 UTC 2022-03-06 07:22:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Chapter 3 with Naiya and Vi 5888651 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360064 1. Walter McMillian was not given a fair trial because the trial was held in the whitest region of Alabama. In our belief, race did play a part in the outcome because a vast majority of the court were white people. Hardly any of them were black. The only ones who were black were Walter's family and some of the neighbors.

2. Race doesn't play a part in the Criminal Justice system all the time because slavery is gone and we're all equal. It occasionally happens approximately 40% of the time. This happens in the United States because all states have their methods of pushing people back from what they want to do. ]]> 2022-03-03 17:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360064 By: Gianna and Langley https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360098 1. No, we do not think that Walter McMillian was given a fair trial because the judge specifically choose a place where it was only 9% black and where it was conservative. We think race does play a part in the outcome of Walter's trial because the whole time they called him racial slurs, especially during his arrest which indicates that it was about his race. 2. We think race does play a part in the justice system today because there are people that are innocent but are still convicted because of their race. 3. We think it is about 25% of the time that this happens. We think that this happens in the US as a whole because it depends on the people who are the judge and convicting the person and whether they are racist/biased or not.]]> 2022-03-03 17:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360098 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360490 1.No, his trial was not fair, the witnesses did not have good, solid information and they didn't even actually see Walter do anything. Also the entire Jury was white which caused them to have their own opinions based on the color of Walter.2. Yes, race played a huge part in everything to do with his trial and most of the unfairness in his case was due to the color of his skin.3 I think that racial discrimination does occur in some stages of justice processing, some of the time, and in some places, and that small differences in treatment accumulate across the criminal justice system.4. I think that it is a small percentage and that the criminal justice system now goes off of the law more than opinions on skin color.5. I think that our country doesn't act as a hole and that our country is divided on political views and opinions.]]> 2022-03-03 17:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360490 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360775 1.) I think that the police should have investigated Walter McMillan's case more before putting him on death row. I do think race played a role in his trail, there being more white jury's affected the outcome of his trial.

2.) I do believe race still plays a role in the Criminal Justice System today. I do think that in certain parts of the United States, the amount of racial discrimination is different. Racial discrimination in the Criminal Justice System is usually worse in more white or conservative area in the US. ]]> 2022-03-03 17:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076360775 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076361099 1. Walter McMillian was not given a fair trial at all. The evidence was fake and did not make sense. There were many more witnesses that were on Walter's side than against him. Many proved that he was at the church but only two people said he was at the gas station. 2. Race did play a part in the outcome as soon as he was moved to a court with almost an all-white jury. 3. Race does play a part in the Criminal Justice system sometimes. It depends on the jury if they are the type of person to favor races and dislike some. Now with today's law, it shouldn't happen that often and many of the juries are fair and equal. - Alex Ho]]> 2022-03-03 17:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076361099 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076361212 1. He was not given a fair trial. His race was a role in his trial
2. race played a big factor in this just cause he was black.

I believe that Walter McMillian was given a unfair trial, he was not allowed to give his point of view of the case while in court and there had been evidence that he was innocent. EX. He was at a place during the murder of the girl. 2. At the time racism was a huge thing so I believe racism played a part in the book. ]]> 2022-03-03 17:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076361531 Glen and Ben https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076363327  1. we believe that the trial was unfair because even with the ridiculous story he still got punished severely.

2. Yes I think race played in the trial because they went to an area that has more white people than black people. 

3. No, because everyone has equal rights.

I feel that his race did play a part in the outcome of his trial.

2: I feel like now it doesn't play as much a part as it used to in most parts of the United States.]]> 2022-03-03 17:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076364277 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076366311 1. I think Walter McMillian was not given a fair trial because his trial only lasted two days and he was sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit.
I mean really, you never know what anybody thinking race could have played a part that is because he is a black male and back then they hated African Americans 

2. Yes i do think race still plays a part in the justice system till this day

I do belive that his race did have something to do with the outcome of the trial. Today race no longer has anything to do with the outcome of trials.]]> 2022-03-03 17:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076366498 Based on my reading of chapter 3 I think it wasn't such a fair trial for McMillian. I don't think it was a fair trial because for one they decided to put the trial in a place with 94% white people, this will greatly change the outcome for McMillian. https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076367478 I think race did play a big part in Walter's trial. This is because back then even though African Americans' rights were set most people still treated African Americans unfairly.

I believe that race can still play a role in the present time we are in. I think it can still play role because racism is still around but not as much as before most people see it as wrong. But I feel like race doesn't affect the outcome of the person in the trial as much as before. ]]> 2022-03-03 17:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076367478 I think That Walter McMillian Didn't get a fair trial because his race gave him a low advantage and people saw him as a threat, And yes I do Think that Walter's race had something to do with his trial. I think that it depends who the person is judging, like it can be a nice judge who doesn't care about color or race or there can be a judge that just judges a book by its cover and automatically thinks the person is guilty Race doesn't play a part in the Criminal Justice system all the time because slavery is gone and we're all equal. It occasionally happens approximately 40% of the time. This happens in the United States because all states have their methods of pushing people back from what they want to do. https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076368276 2022-03-03 17:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076368276 Drew and Ana https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076368380 1. I dont think Walter McMillian was given a fair trial, and race definitely played a part in the outcome of Walters trial considering the all white-male jury that made the decision. 

2. I do think race still plays a big part in the Criminal Justice System. It is more intensified in the south ]]> 2022-03-03 17:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076368380 5893051 https://padlet.com/002661346/zzoet6cpxat5eusv/wish/2076369484 1. No we don't think it was fair because most of the jurors were white and racism was probably a big factor in his trial. 

2. Yes, racism still has a role in the criminal justice system most of the time it depends on the judge or jury. Depending on that person and who he favors racism does take place in some court cases.

Walter Mcmillian was not given a fair trial, he didnt have any african americans on his jury, and all of the whites were rascist, and unanimlusly voted him guilty. 

2. rascism played a huge part in the trial of walter mcmillan. he had an all white jury, and was unanimously voted guilty, and sent to death row, with little evidence.

3. Rascism is a part of the justice system today, but it depends on who judges.

At the time I think race played a part of the outcome of the case. Because at the time they changed the county to one with a less black population 2. Depends on the case and who the jury is, but not as much  3. I think Rancho or California is fair because of the race variety.
