“The Sentence” in Criminal Justice Jargon

Storyboard for “The Sentence” Mark 15:6-15

This mixed media storyboard for “The Sentence” is pretty amazing, if for no other reason than that it was created in so little time. The four episodes are depicted in contemporary criminal justice jargon.

After the creator told the story using a dynamic equivalent translation of contemporary criminal justice jargon, she wrote the key words out for me to share below the story, which is on the other side of the storyboard doc as shown in the graphic below.

F2=Felony of the 2nd degree, which includes attempted murder (Jesus was in prison with those who committed murder during the insurrection)

Testify CI=Criminal Informant, which is someone who testifies against you (the chief priests accused Jesus of many things)

OR=Own Recognizance, when we are released (Barabbas was released)

Innocent=when we are wrongly accused (as was the case with Jesus and Pilate knew it but sentenced him to death anyway).
