Mann v State

In class we had a mock trial on Mann vs. State was about a slave owner who shot his save in the back as she ran away, because it was his property he felt he should not have been charged with anything, but the state thought otherwise. Students in my class were split into two teams, my team was defending Mann. My specific topic in the trial was that the slave was his property. I used certain codes and "slave laws" to defend my point. Other students in my group used the points of history and religion. It was harder to defend Mann, because he did shoot a human being and to anybody that is wrong.
