Emotional Character and Unemotional Character

Unemotional:
A father of two girls, husband of a jobless wife and son of an old ill widow pleads guilty on a first degree murder charge. He is not the one who committed the murder. He will only be able to see his family behind thick plexiglass and talk to them for a limited time through the phone. When he is sentenced to life in prison and his family bursts into tears and anger. His face does not change and a word does not come out of his mouth. His wife asks how they will survive since he brings home all the money but he just shrugs his shoulders as the cops cuff him and take him out the court room he doesn't even look at his family for a last good bye.

Emotional:

He will only be able to see his family behind thick plexiglass and talk to them for a limited time through the phone. When he is sentenced to life in prison and his family bursts into tears and anger. He starts to cry and you can see the anger in his eyes. He begins yelling at the judge that he is innocent. The cops come to cuff him and take him away but he resists fights back, yelling and crying. He tries going over to his family to say a last good bye but the cops hold him back. He is dragged out the court house screaming and crying, insisting that he is innocent and has a family he needs to take care of.
