Homework on This American Life, Episode 387

You will probably have to listen to the entire program before completing this assignment. What you turn in does not need to include the questions; just put the answers (and, of course, number them).



For each person listed below, say what, if anything, that they have done that you believe is wrong, and say why it is wrong (this does not need to be an argument). If many of the things that they have done seem wrong to you, pick the two most wrong and talk about them. If they've done nothing wrong (in your opinion), pick the thing they've done that seems closest to being wrong, and say why it is not wrong.

1. Lakhani (the person convicted for arms dealing)

2. The U.S. attorney that prosecuted Lakhani

3. The FBI agents who investigated Lakhani

4. The informant (Raman)

5. The juror who changed her vote from in Lakhani's trial
