John
Morgan Case Study
John
Morgan is a single 38-year-old white male. His formal education consists of a
high school diploma and a few semesters of college, but no college degree. He
works as a local delivery driver for an international shipping company and
makes just under $40,000 a year.
Two
months ago, John was arrested by his local police department following an
investigation of a hit and run that occurred at a convenience store near his
apartment. He was charged with fleeing the scene of an accident causing
substantial property damage, a Class 4 felony.
John is
up for trial and is pleading “Not Guilty” to the charge. He faces up to 6
months in jail and a $1,000 fine, as well as all the other potential challenges
this could bring to his career and social life.
