respond to Cases # 3 & 8 on Answer each question posed in the cases. 3. One of the most widely known criminal trials in recent memory involved that of comedian Bill Cosby, who was accused, in that case, of a single incident of sexual assault. Jury deliberations at the end of the trial lased for 52 hours. The time devoted to jury deliberations, 12 hours per day from Monday through Saturday morning, totaled almost as much time as the entire trial. At one point on Thursday, the jurors reported that they could not reach a verdict but returned to deliberations after being asked to do so by the judge. Yet, at the end of these lengthy discussions, no verdict could be reached. Experts speculated that the many inconsistencies int he testimony of the alleged victim may have made it difficult for the jurors to reach the "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" standard used in criminal trials. What term is used to describe a jury that cannot reach a unanimous verdict? What happens when a jury cannot reach a unanimous verdict as happened in this case? Explain.

Legal Experts Offer Analysis," The New York Times, June 18, 2017, p. 20; and J.

Ernesto Miranda was arrested in his own home for a serious crime and held in an interrogation room. He was not informed of his right to remain silent, nor was he informed that he could be represented by an attorney. Eventually, after a two-hour interrogation conducted by two police officers, Miranda signed a statement that indicated he had voluntarily confessed to the crime of which he was accused. On the basis of his confession, Miranda was found guilty. He appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, which affirmed the guilty verdict. Miranda asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his appeal. Is this the type of case that belongs in the U.S. Supreme Court? Explain the reasons for your response. Should the Supreme Court uphold or overturn the state court's conviction of Miranda? Explain the Constitution and find the amendment that guarantees the right to remain silent when arrested for a criminal action. Examine the Constitution and find the amendment that extends that right to defendants in state criminal actions. [See: Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (U.S. Sup. Ct.).]
