State Vs. Mann Case

            In the practice trial today concerning the 'unfair' fee of a man shooting a rented slave, the original decision was overturned, and Mr. Mann had to pay no fine.  In the trial today however, I think that both sides presented very clear and informed arguments.  Being a member for the defendant and arguing pro-slavery, I found that some of my other constituents had arguments that shocked me at how much depth and time they put in researching the topic.  I learned some new facts about the true meaning behind the 3/5th compromise of 1787, along with some historic law about the rights of a slave owner.  On the other hand, the opposing prosecutors (team nido) had compelling arguments that help to not only show the horrors and true evils of the practice of slavery, but highlight how Mr. Mann should be charged with assault and battery and deserved a fine of 5 dollars.  I think that even though the historic ruling in this case was that Mr. Mann was to be let go of all the charges and that the initial ruling would be overturned, as a member of the 21st American Society, I personally believe that anyone who had slaves or harms slaves deserves to go to jail.
