Discussion
The Sacco and Vanzetti Case
Sacco and Vanzetti raised some very serious doubts about the American Justice system and American attitudes towards those that don’t support “American” values. Please give your opinions on the following questions. After you post your thoughts, you will be able to see the posts of your fellow group members. Please post at least ONE response to the opinions put forth by other students in the class (once you post your answers, other students’ posts will become available).
What facts of the case support the belief that Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted for who they were and what they believed, rather than for what they did?

What legal procedures were violated in the interrogation and trial of Sacco and Vanzetti? Should the case have been declared a mistrial, which could conceivably mean that they go free?

The Sacco and Vanzetti case is an example of how the American Justice system, and the jury system in particular, has been (and can be) influenced and manipulated by public opinion. Do a little research on the O.J. Simpson trial, if you are not already familiar with it, or read the brief summary of the trial that I have provided below. The verdict in the trial produced very emotional, and very different reactions from people, not only in the United States, but around the world (Watch the short 6 minute video below of reactions around the U.S.). How are the Simpson / Sacco and Vanzetti cases similar or different? What, in your opinion, do the cases reveal about the fairness and impartiality of the American justice system?
