For this writing assignment, we will be looking at the crime, how it was portrayed, and the criminal process. Please use evidence from the movie and lecture sources to support your conclusions

1. Do you believe that there was a rape that night or not? Does the real case or movie best support your view of what happened that night? What evidence are you using to make your decision?

2. Was Peterson (Manion) temporarily insane as the jury declared, or do you believe he is fully responsible for murder? State the evidence you used in making your decision.

3. Was the trial fair? Cite either the film or real case facts from the lecture to make your decision. What made the trial either fair or unfair?
