Allow each side five minutes to present their case to the Judge and jury. After each side has made its presentation the jury will be sequestered to make their decision. In Oklahoma the jury decision is simply a recommendation to the Judge who will issue the sentence. Repeat the exercise for each of the cases. This will allow your students to see how their sentences compare to the actual judgment.
Closure occurs as each case is evaluated for the different circumstances.
Analyzing each case listed requires students to ask questions that will summarize the lesson. By repeating the process for all the cases listed the debriefing and summary elements of the lesson plan are accomplished. At the end of each case make new assignments for roles played by the Judge and lawyer spokespersons. The teacher should emphasize how complicated and difficult sentencing a defendant can be. Refer the class back to the Bill of Rights and the eighth amendment when they get too hard on a defendant.
