Essay III

Sociology 220
Essay III
11/20/07


A. In the context of the early trials and convictions, which carried exceedingly long sentences (basically up to Part Three, p.179, in Tulia), I want you to write a 2-3 page essay on how such an obvious miscarriage of justice was possible. Specifically, I want you to identify and discuss how any two factors contributed to this miscarraige of justice. And between the two factors you discuss, which one do you believe represents the greatest threat to the proper functioning of our court system in general.

B. Be sure to give the page number(s) of any passage(s) you quote in your essay.

C. This is due on Tuesday, Dec. 4th. And it is worth 25 points.
