He sought steps looking toward the enforcement of the contraband prohibitions contained in the proclamations and toward the declaration of certain prohibited zones surrounding 'vital installations' along the coast. The Commanding General had become convinced that the military security of the coast required these measures" (page 1). Discussion Questions:

Due on Monday, Jan. 6th: Annotated Final Report 3. Mock Trial Research! Agenda Mock Trial Work Time Lawyer + Witness teams who are ready, work with Matt Kenna on direct-examination questions Cross-Examination scene from A Few Good Men Summary of A Few Good Men In this dramatic courtroom thriller, LT Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer who has never seen the inside of the courtroom, defends two stubborn Marines who have been accused of murdering a colleague (Santiago). At Guantanamo Marine Base, a private is attacked by 2 other marines and dies as a result. An investigation is conducted by Lt. Commander Jo Galloway and reveals to her superiors that she believes that the private was attacked because he was going over the head of Colonel Jessup, the base commander and was threatening to rat out a superior officer for firing an illegal shot at the Cuban side of the island unless he got a transfer, so Jessup (Jack Nicohlson) ordered a "code red" which is an extreme form of punishment intended to keep marines in order and enforcing discipline. This led to Santiago's death. From: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104257/plotsummary Starter:

The Amistad in which slaves captured in Sierra Leone rebelled and took over the Spanish ship en route to port in the U.S. "In 1840, a federal district court found that the transport of the kidnapped Africans across the Atlantic on the slave ship Tecora was in violation of laws and treaties against the international slave trade by Great Britain, Spain and the United States. The captives were ruled to have acted as free men when they fought to escape their illegal confinement. The Court ruled the Africans were entitled to take whatever legal measures necessary to secure their freedom, including the use of force."
