English essay

Description

After reading and carefully annotating the article excerpt “Implicit Bias: A Primer for The Courts” by Jerry Kang, and the assigned podcast episodes, answer the following question: Based on the testimony, court proceedings and all other materials we have encountered, to what extent does implicit bias seem to have affected Adnan’s case from investigation through to conviction? Where did implicit bias, as Jerry Kang describes it, seem to be a factor (i.e. did it affect the community, the detectives, the prosecutors, his own lawyer, the jury, the judge)? Based on everything you know at this point, if Adnan had not been a Pakistani Muslim American, would his case likely have turned out differently? Support your position with the strongest pieces of evidence available. You may conduct research and use relevant outside information from scholarly sources, but you should primarily rely on assigned course materials.
