(4.)Review the scenario:
Margaret is trying to alter the following information in her argumentative essay for use in a speech directed at her ninth-grade history class: Brody, Kestler, and Lee represented the defendants in subsequent appeals but, as Lucerno notes, “the critical issue raised early on by the defense council—of whether the defendants could, in fact, receive a fair trial in Montgomery County—was never addressed” (34).
How should Margaret change this sentence to suit her audience?
1. One source, Lucerno, indicates that the ongoing issue in the trial involved the question of whether the defendants could receive a fair trial in their hometown of Montgomery County.
2. One source indicates that the defendants never received a fair trial in their hometown of Montgomery County.
3. David Lucerno, an attorney notes that, although there were several appeals, the defense’s request to move the case to another county, was never granted. This raises questions about the fairness of these convictions.
4. Brody, Kestler, and Lee note that they acted as the legal team for the defendants during the appeals process, but the case was never moved. This raises questions about the fairness of these trials.
