Identifying+Possible+Charges

Objectives:
 * determine the charges and supporting evidence to the defendant in your case

Lesson 1. We will use Handout 19, the Arraignment Planner.You will begin to plan your cases for and against Freeman and Parker and we will use this planner to help you determine all possible charges against each defendant and which charges are best supported by evidence.

Watch as I model how to use the Arraignment planner with the charge of "first-degree murder" in the first box in the //Possible Charge// column.

Be sure to think about the following:
 * What are the required elements of first-degree murder?
 * What evidence, if any, do you see in your timeline suggesting that the murder of Solomon might have been "Willful, deliberate, and premeditated"?
 * What is the source of this evidence?

2. In your team, identify all possible charges and supporting evidence. (You will determine which charge is most appropriate later)
