This episode has a great ending. Essentially the defendant claims he was racially harassed at work and that after the racial harassment escalated he killed his co-worker during an argument. McCoy's counter is that racism is severely diminished in the modern day (he argues it practically doesn't exist) and isn't enough emotional abuse to justify killing. The jury convicts the Defendant, and on the way home after the trial McCoy and Kincaide are summoning a cab. A cab pulls up and while McCoy starts to get in, Kincaide points out that another African-American man down the street had been waiting longer and was skipped. As the African-American man angrily throws his hands up at the cab, the cab driver simply asks McCoy if he's getting in. The episode ends with McCoy realizing that perhaps racism isn't completely eradicated in modern society.

That is… wow. That’s a bold argument to make, even for McCoy. I don’t think being discriminated against is reason to kill someone, but to say that racism practically doesn’t exist (whether directly or not) is a short-sighted tactic. Even if it’s to convict a person who the evidence says is guilty.

Oh there were so many big fraud scandals prior to Enron, but I think Enron was the one that forced laws to change because it happened on such a huge scale.

Or I wonder if this episode was based on all the rumors of fraud with companies like Enron and Arthur Anderson but before investigators actually had enough evidence gathered to make charges.

So it would be perfectly natural under those circumstances to look into the suspect's financial dealings, even if they had not wrongfully seized the records from his house.

I feel that if this episode aired nowadays, the jury's decision to convict, based on the blatant racism the defendant had to endure, would have seemed somewhat unreasonable by today's terms. Or at the very least, it wouldn't be such a straight and easy conviction and the prosecutor would have much rathered plea him down.

@MuzzyBarker

Жыл бұрын

Anger isn't a defense for homicide. People commit crimes of passion all the time. He could have plead to manslaughter by arguing that there was no premeditation, but that would be a tough sell considering he went to the apartment uninvited and had the presence of mine to stage a suicide. Anyway, he said he wasn't interested in any deals. I think the conviction had less to do with the relevance of the racism he faced than it had to do with the burden of an insanity plea. His being offended by his boss didn't negate his ability to know that breaking a man's neck was wrong.

@YuvalQ

Жыл бұрын

@@MuzzyBarker If I remember correctly, Hullbruck invited Greer to his apartment to confront and berate him. And while I agree anger isn't a defence for homicide, the case made by the civil rights attorney was strong enough and has shown a consistency of abuse to justify the defendant state of mind at that time. As such, convicting him forthwith would have been challenging.

@MuzzyBarker

Жыл бұрын

@@YuvalQ He didn't, though. He cited a couple of incidents, one of which had a major consequence, and neither of which came from the victim. And we didn't get enough of a timeline to establish consistency. The incidents, abusive though they were, justified anger, not insanity. In order for the insanity defense to work, they would have to establish that the abuse took away his ability to know that what he was doing was wrong. The defense not only failed to establish that, but made very little effort in that vain, from what we saw. Considering they had a majority black jury and a barebones defense, it seems more likely they were shooting for nullification.

@@paulkennedy927 In the video, the actor describes recording profit when cash received. This is not how most of the world works. What actually happens is that revenue/income is recorded at time of sale whether or not cash changed hands. And that revenue/income is what, for example, taxes are based on (subject to adjustments). If not paid at time of sale, then both revenue and a receivable are recorded, and when that is paid, cash is increased (because received) and the receivable reduced (because paid). And this is called accrual accounting, which is correct for almost all businesses. The alternative is "cash accounting," in which the movement of cash determines when things have happened, which is approximately what is described in the video. And sometimes cash accounting is the right way. In the video the "criminal" is doing accrued accounting the right way, except there never was a sale. Enron did something else. If memory serves, they found a way to list expenses as assets. And that is a complete 100% no-no. Also fraud and a crime. A little like telling your girlfriend's father you're worth $100,000 when really you owe $100,000 on a car you should not have bought.
