4. Clemency Hearing • Each group will have someone present a brief (1 minute) opening statement that explains who you are and you will share how you feel regarding the clemency of Sacco and Vanzetti. • When everyone has spoken there will be time for a brief debate of ideas and for the Lowell Committee to ask questions to each of the groups. • If time allows, groups may also question each other. • Sacco and Vanzetti will give their closing statements at the end. • After the presentation of statements and questions, the Lowell Committee and Jury will deliberate a verdict. The deliberations will be open and take place in front of the class, as a fish bowl. Each member of the Jury/Committee is required to present an argument during deliberations. Then a vote will be taken and a verdict reached. • After the verdict has been reached, Governor Fuller will choose to either support the Jury/Lowell Committee’s decision or overrule it and make his own decision.
