The Crucible: Injustice

In Act Three of The Crucible, it is clear that the proceedings of the court are unfair and that justice is not being served. Defendants are denied legal representation by lawyers and people are convicted without real evidence. Clearly, our legal system is much more effective in the 21st century than it was in the 16th. However, the court system still has its flaws.

Find and discuss a famous contemporary court case that you think was unfair and that justice was not served. Describe the case, defend your argument, and compare it to the proceedings during the Salem Witch Trials as depicted in The Crucible.

Write at least two clear paragraphs. Post and comment by Sunday, October 31.

  1. What do you mean by "Post and comment"? Do we have to comment on someone else's blog as well?
