In the film, Jerome Facher played by Robert Duvall chats with Schlichmann outside the courtroom as the jury is considering how to rule on an early phase of the trial. Schlichtmann is assuming that the court proceeding will help ascertain the truth about what happened in Woburn. Facher tells him that courts of law have nothing to do with finding the truth and he tells Schlichtmann that if he wants to find truth he should look for it at the bottom of a bottomless pit. Jerome Facher addresses this issue more thoroughly and directly in Section VI of his Seattle University article that is part of the assigned reading. Consider whether Facher just being cynical in his view of searching for truth in the civil litigation process or whether is he giving a realistic appraisal of whether an objective vision of truth is possible. Think about this dilemma as you post your comments on the discussion . Your comments should provide details from Facher's article.
