Bulger suffered multiple skull fractures from blows to the head, and was sexually abused by the two older boys. After the beatings, they left Bulger’s lifeless body across the railway tracks so that his body would be cut in half. Police were able to pin Venables and Thompson because of video images that captured Bulger’s abduction from the mall. DNA testing matched the blood found on the boys’ shoes to Bulger. Thompson and Venables were arrested and controversially tried and convicted in an adult court.

(AP) Former Rite Aid Corp. chief executive Martin L. Grass was sentenced to eight years in prison Thursday for conspiring to falsely inflate the value of the company his father founded and cover up the scheme. Grass, 50, who headed up the nation's third-largest pharmacy chain in the late 1990s before being forced out in October 1999, also was fined $500,000 and given three years' probation for his role in a billion-dollar accounting fraud that sent the company's stock tumbling. Before U.S. District Judge Sylvia H. Rambo handed down the sentence, Grass apologized to Rite Aid, its stockholders and employees. "For the harm caused to them, I am truly sorry," he said. Grass was indicted by a federal grand jury two years ago.
Twelve Angry Men is the story of twelve jurors stuck in a room trying to reason out with each other weather a young boy is guilty of killing his father. Emotions flair when one juror stands up for the boy saying that he is indeed not guilty. The story is filled with examples of pathos, ethos and logos. In this writing I will explain some of the spots those three literary tools are used. In the play Twelve Angry Men juror number eight uses ethos when he tries to explain to juror number ten that the old man could not have heard the boy say “I’m going to kill you” to his father.

Sidney Lumet’s first film, 12 Angry Men, is a single-room film about jury-disputing. If 12 jurors fail to find reasonable doubt, an eighteen-year-old boy will sentence to death due to the charge of being the murderer of his father. In the first vote, 11 think the boy is guilty; the one left simply thinks it is too soon to make this decision. The other men get choleric and present the evidence to persuade him. The speech not only shows their thoughts but their attitudes and prejudices.
The movie “12 angry man“ is about the discussion of a jury that has to decide about the destiny of an 18 year old man who is accused to have murdered his own father. The delinquent has an immigrant background and grew up under difficult family circumstances in the slums. He has a long criminal record and at first sight all the facts seem to support that he committed the crime.

This movie was all about non-ethical and lazy like sayings, such as: “lets get it over quick” and “who really cares”. One guy, the 8th juror, did not agree with these saying’s and believed that a tough decision like this could not be decided in 5 minutes. He played a smart game, which we call ’playing devils advocate’. While the 11 men thought the person charged was guilty, this one juror thought differently. The 12 angry men were your average men, but each one had a different side.
