3rd Case – Ginsberg
If we were to do this and Mr. Jimenez was claimed guilty, we would be going against the first amendment, which states that each person is guaranteed of the free exercise of religion. It has come to my attention that Mr. Jimenez had sacrificed a chicken, for it’s blood to communicate it’s blood to the spirit. And although this may sound very crazy and odd, some people believe that this is the way to communicate with god or spirits, or whatever you may think you might want to communicate with. Sure, Mr. Jimenez was killing an animal in the process of this, but we kill animals in our every day lives, to eat. By these neighbors explaining that Mr. Jimenez worries them, in their neighborhood, they can only give us facts, such as, he is up late at night, saying prayers, and chanting. But yet again, this is part of his religion and he, as a citizen of America, deserves to have their free exercise of religion, and this is Mr. Jimenez’s way of exercising his religion.
