    FREEPRESUMED INNOCENT EBOOK Scott Turow | 432 pages | 01 Apr 2010 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141049212 | English | London, United Kingdom Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow | Hachette Book Group I n the final days before the Senate vote on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the national debate over the right course of action was distilled into one key Presumed Innocent Whom to believe? The hearing process provided a stage for the striking testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accuses Kavanaugh of sexual assault when Presumed Innocent were in high school, and the emotional rebuttal of Kavanaugh, who denies those claims. The news has also drawn attention to a fundamental principle of law that, it turns out, is more complicated than it seems: the presumption of innocence. Senate Majority Leader Presumed Innocent McConnell has defended Kavanaugh on the principle that he is innocent until proven guilty, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has made the point that the hearings are not a lawsuit and thus the legal presumed innocence rule is basically irrelevant. The two senators, despite working within the same system, are able to find very different guidance from the same concept. He found that the ancient Babylonian Code of Hammurabi put the burden of proof on the accuser; that the ancient Presumed Innocent statesman Demosthenes wrote about the importance of not calling people criminals before they were convicted; that a key third-century Roman legal document set forward rules about the evidence an accuser must supply; and that a Medieval European legal principle specified that conviction, Presumed Innocent accusation, defined a criminal.

  • Films for Exploring Peace and Justice Themes
    Films for Exploring Peace and Justice Themes Many youth and adult groups have discovered the value of films for education and outreach. Films may be shown singly or as part of a series. One group organized a “Tuesday Evenings at the Movies” series, served popcorn, and had a great time. Most of these films have short segments that can be used to teach specific peace and justice insights or skills, and can encourage folks to see the rest of the film. Below are films that we’ve found to be especially effective. (Well-known stars and directors are in parentheses.)

  • Pepe Serna Statement for the Record September 24, 2020 My Name Is Pepe Serna, I Am a Mexican American Film, Television, and Thea
    Pepe Serna Statement for the Record September 24, 2020 My name is Pepe Serna, I am a Mexican American film, television, and theatrical actor. I am also a visual artist and motivational speaker who believes that art is the essence of who we are as human beings. My purpose for addressing Congress via this statement is to issue a CALL TO ACTION to address and resolve the lack of inclusiveness and diversity in the entertainment industry. I challenge each and every one of you become more familiar and aware of the struggles and challenges that we as Latino Hollywood actors, producers, directors, technicians, and others supporting our trade face in our day-to-day activities. While I’m addressing primarily Latinos in this statement, I also speak for our minority populations, who also face pay discrimination and prejudice in this industry. Diversity is not just black and white – like vintage films. Just as movies and television have transitioned to technicolor, so should the entertainment industry transition to represent all people of color and sexual orientation. Let me set the stage so that you can judge for yourself that I know what I am talking about and that my Call to Action has merit. For the last 50 years, I have worked with Oscar-winning producers, writers, directors, and actors in 100 films and 300 television shows. I have given hundreds upon hundreds of improvisational workshops around the country. My lifelong passion, next to being an actor, has been to teach character education through my “Pepefied Breakthrough Improv.” These workshops teach students and adults alike how to Connect, Communicate and Collaborate.
