Found guilty of first-degree reckless homicide for killing his girlfriend's five-year-old son. Dakota Black, 25, wept as the bailiffs removed him from the Dane County Courthouse. There were a jury of five men and seven women who decided on the verdict of guilty. The verdict took place after four hours that followed the closing arguments for the case. The homicide occurred at the Sun Prairie home where Black lived with his girlfriend and her five-year-old son. As they announced the verdict, a gasp which followed a quickly stifled cheer came from where many of Turnbill's family sat in the courtroom. They had watched the trial for two weeks before the verdict. Members of the family included Shannon Turnbill, Black's girlfriend, who sat on a different side of the courtroom from family members. It appeared the verdict had stunned her. The charge for reckless homicide in the first degree carries a possible sentences of more than 60 years in prison. Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke will sentence Black for the crime two months from now. …show more content…
During the prosecution, they argued Black was alone with Brayden Turnbill on October 22, 2013, when the homicide took place.
Shannon Turnbill found Brayden unresponsive, and they soon learned that he had endured a traumatic brain injury because of trauma from blunt force. Brayden Turnbill was bleeding massively on his brain. Even with immediate medical attention and surgery, it was not enough. On October 24, 2013, Brayden Turnbill died. In conjunction with the the traumatic brain injury, there were bruises on Brayden's chest. Prosecution experts stated that this occurred from a looped cord, and one came from a punch to the stomach. When Shannon Turnbill dressed Brayden for school that day, she told them that Brayden did not have bruises on his
chest. Adrienne Blais, the Assistant District Attorney, presented jurors with a representation of Brayden's day. He may have seemed sad at points, but he reported that he was mostly happy. Blais set forth the theory that after arriving home from school, he felt sad when he learned his mom was still at work, and he would be left with Black. One of the friends who had been there on that day presented evidence that Brayden had followed Black into the basement. Brayden's friend was the last to see him alive. While Black gave no testimony at trial about how the incident occurred, Black gave police a statement that did not match with Brayden's friend's statement. It made less sense. When the prosecution asked Blais to point a reason for Brayden's injuries, Black could not give a reason. Despite the evidence, John Smerlinski, Black's attorney, stated that the prosecution had no real evidence of Black being responsible for Brayden's injuries. He argued that they repeated the statements from medical experts on Brayden's brain injury. The defense believes that the injury could have even happened before October 22, 2013, which led up to Brayden's death. Smerlinski argued that the victim fell down the stairs, and he tried to attribute the bruises to other children in the neighborhood who Brayden did not get along with.
The details disclosed that the prosecution highlighted the names of the potential black judges and tinted every black potential juror’s name in a different color. There were four different duplicates of the record of all of the individuals summoned for the task in the case. Evert record had a key, which indicated that the highlighted names represented the blacks. Besides, there were no any blotches made for the white jurors on the lists. There were also many marks made on the black people’s names on the juror questionnaires, and there was no any other race that was

Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you for your attention today. [Slide #2] I would like to assert that separation is not the end of a relationship. Divorce is not the end of a relationship. Even an arrest is not the end of a relationship. Only death is the end of a relationship. In the case of defendant Donna Osborn, her insistence that ‘“one way or another I’ll be free,”’ as told in the testimony of her friend Jack Mathews and repeated in many others’, indicates that despite the lack of planning, the defendant had the full intent to kill her husband, Clinton Osborn.
The issues involved in Kevin’s case starts with his family values. Kevin seems to thrive on the attention he’s getting from his peers during school. The problem is its negative attention because it’s encouraging him to engage in negative behaviors during class. Kevin is narcissistic he feels as if he’s above the rules at school and in a way, he is because his parents have been preventing him from receiving consequences for his behaviors. Kevin’s parents are enabling these negative behaviors by defending him.
The evidence presented to myself and the other juror’s proves that Tyrone Washburn is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the murder of his wife, Elena Washburn. On March 12, 1979 Elena Washburn was strangled in the living room of her family’s home. Her body was then dragged to the garage, leaving a trail of blood from the living room to the place it was found. Her husband, Tyrone Washburn, found her in the family’s garage on March 13, 1979 at 1:45 A.M. When officer Dale Chambers arrived at the scene he found her lying face down in a pool of blood. The solid evidence in this case proves only one person, Tyrone Washburn, is guilty of murder.

Case Management Case management has become the standard method of managing health care delivery systems today. In recent decades, case management has become widespread throughout healthcare areas, professionals, and models in the United States.

... believed in the innocence of the young man and convinced the others to view the evidence and examine the true events that occurred. He struggled with the other jurors because he became the deviant one in the group, not willing to follow along with the rest. His reasoning and his need to examine things prevailed because one by one, the jurors started to see his perspective and they voted not guilty. Some jurors were not convinced, no matter how much evidence was there, especially Juror #3. His issues with his son affected his decision-making but in the end, he only examined the evidence and concluded that the young man was not guilty.

The article, “Trial Lawyers Cater to Jurors’ Demands for Visual Evidence,” written by Sylvia Hsieh, stresses the importance of visual evidence. Hsieh writes in a formal tone as she delves into a pool of various example trials used to explain visual evidence, along with specific quotes obtained from well-known lawyers and workers in the industry. This simply states the recurring idea that visual evidence is important.
