ETHICS CASE STUDY
Analyze the Coca-Cola Employee Case (Joya Williams)  Focus on the ethical issues raised by the case and use the following ethics checklist as a guide in discussing the case and what you think would be the ethical and right decision based on your values and ethics, not necessarily the Court's decision.

Finally, analyze the Court's decision and discuss if you think it was fair and just and whether you feel that Williams deserved the punishment she received for the crime she committed. Would you have done the same thing Joya Williams did if you were in her situation?

Use outside research and add any other thoughts or analysis that you think are relevant to a discussion of the case. Consider the checklist below very carefully as you formulate your response.

Your response should be a minim um of 500 words. Use APA format for citations.
