    1. And I put in my motionthat there was prosecutorial misconduct and police misconduct and judicial misconduct.There was a crazy line in there about how there's no conduct in this county,it's all misconduct.

      When Bryan states all these misconduct that would be justifiable in others states. Alabama says there one one type of conduct, there aren't multiple conduct. If states like this can't change there justice system will there be an hope for a young child?

    2. I start thinking, well, how did that happen?How can a judge turn you into somethingthat you're not?And the judge has certified him as an adult, but I see this kid.

      There are different views on how people see kids some will see them as an adult. In some states it really depends on the age. Some ages are justified like be tried at the age of 17 or 18 because you are legally an adult, but then you have states like this where a 12 yr old can be trialed as an adult. This further proves why the justice system is injustice.

    3. .Ultimately, you judge the character of a society,not by how they treat their rich and the powerful and the privileged,but by how they treat the poor,the condemned, the incarcerated.

There are so many organizations and rich people who have enough money to help the needy yet they don't do it and when they are good deeds that these people committed they are never mentioned or their is a hidden meaning to it.

      When Bryan stated he was lawyer for convicted for 13 and 14 when he was at and organized event Mrs. Carr said that he will be tired as a result of his work, but at the same tie you must be brave because if he isn't brave he will lose his cases for these children.

    5. "There's no way, with our history,we could ever engagein the systematic killing of human beings.It would be unconscionable for usto, in an intentional and deliberate way,set about executing people."

      In Germany they wouldn't think of killing people because they believe it was for them unconscionable. The irony is that they had a history of killing Jews in Internment Camps, perhaps this is why they don't have a death penalty

    7. I think identity is really important.And we've had some fantastic presentations.And I think what we've learnedis that, if you're a teacher your words can be meaningful,but if you're a compassionate teacher,they can be especially meaningful.

      Identity is important because it is who you are when he mention you can be a teacher words are meaningful, but if you are compassionate teacher they can be extra meaningful to your students. When it comes your identity it depends on what you want to be and will it be impactful to others.

      Reading about a certain topic again, but with a different point of view allows us to see why would a person write about this topic and why is it so important to them in order to fully understand the writer intention.

    3. How could we value something and yetnot admit to ourselves that we valueit?

      Certain topics are sometimes controversial that we would have people who would agree and disagree, those who would disagree won't bother to pay attention to it compare to a person who would agree with the topic.

    4. Some of thevalues we express are not values wewould necessarily want to acknowledge
