Text: Here we are confronted with a capital murder trial, one in which prospects for the other maneuvers to counter such evidence overall, we intend to discredit Ms. Smith by asking her under oath, if it is or is not true that she is a prostitute and a dealer in illegal drugs. Our aim here is to play upon the egotistical conscience of a certain juror, a Mr. Jones, by name, hoping he will vote not guilty in this case because he fundamentally wishes to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit to his wife, his children, his business associates, and his religious colleagues that he, in practical effect, voted to execute our client based on the testimony of a morally corrupt and debased witness. Think here as would a Judge, in such an instance. Questions to be answered in continuous prose text: What kinds of seemingly damning factual evidence could the Prosecutor bring against our client? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Prosecution bringing forward the eyewitness, Ms. Smith? What makes bringing forward eyewitness testimony a risky maneuver? If the Prosecution is to prevail, is there any particular kind of reasoning that the Prosecution must use to organize and present all the damning factual evidence mentioned above? Can the evidence in play be cast in another kind of reasoning that the Defense could use, and in such a way as to dismiss or jeopardize the value of all or parts of this evidence? When Ms. Smith's character is attacked, which fallacy of relevance is involved? What should be the reaction of the Prosecution to this effort?

Suppose you have recently been appointed as the district attorney for a jurisdiction that has been accused of using peremptory challenges in a discriminatory manner. This pattern has led to multiple convictions being overturned, and you are tasked with reforming the use of peremptory challenges in your district to ensure they are used in a racially neutral way. What kind of reforms do you propose and what effects do you predict they will have? Keep in mind, it is only within your power to regulate the behavior of the prosecution, not the defense.
