The Trial of Frank Gallagher
The Trial of Frank Gallagher: An Introduction into the Criminal Justice System
Frank Gallagher is the prime suspect in a double homicide being investigated by the Vermont Special Investigations Unit. What charges will be filed? What will his defense be? In this course we will familiarize students with the Vermont Criminal Justice system through the lens of his case. Students will be asked to view and analyze evidence, examine trial issues surrounding competency to stand trial, self-defense and the voluntariness of confessions. These topics will be explored both through lecture and through practical experience. The course will culminate with the trial of Frank Gallagher.
