Quote: " Only the most sublime distillations of our craft are recountered here. He raised his arm in a sweeping,evangelical gesture as he spoke. Do you mean said Jesse,smiling, the dude whi was accused of robbery and stood up in court and announced to the judge , your honor, you have to dismiss the case. I cant identify this here victim. This ain't the guy I robbed!!" ( Vea, 37)
Analysis: This quote is significant because it is humor because the robber ask the judge that the victim wasnt the guy he robbed and he should dismiss the case. What makes this quote meaningful is that the fact that the person being prosecuted is telling the judge that they got the wrong victim and that they should cancel the judgment because of that.
Questions: What does the case of the rapist and the burgarly have to do with the two women who are dead?
Why do the lawyers talk about their different cases they have done?
Hi Jesus:
ReplyDeleteThe week one prompt is up on the class blogsite; Week two and three will be up today, as well.
My thoughts to the questions you posed:
(1) The cases aren't directly connected. Instead, I think Vea intends them to stand as testimony to how hard a defense attorney's job is.
(2) I think the answer to your question lies in the significance part of your own post for this chapter. :)
It doesnt have to do with anything. Just because its similar to the cases it doesnt mean it deals with it. It doesnt state exactly if they were robbed or molested just said they were killed. So its erelevant. Therefore the two cases dont deal with the two women who were killed.
