Robbery

A man was being accused of theft and the plaintiff wanted him to go to jail. The robbers attorney pleaded the jury not to take the man to jail because he is just a poor old man trying to make a living. She also said that the man is taking care of her little sister and that there would be no one to take care of her when he's in jail. The attorney also stressed that the man has no parents and has to do odd jobs to take care of himself and his younger sister.

Relation to BCT;
Here we see that the attorney is using ad populum appeal to pity. She is trying to evoke pity and sympathy with their situation.
