Book: Celia a Slave

This week, you have read about the investigation, events leading up to the trial, and the trial itself. Again, working to place the case-study of Celia into a broader context, post a 300-word response that demonstrates the following:

• What aspects the case met your expectations for a criminal investigation? Consider the extent to which due process was followed.
• How did the human story play in the court room? Remember, Celia is a slave and is not legally afforded civil rights.
• Raise a question for discussion with your peers.
