I was asked to create a fundraiser for my Mock Trial club. It may have seemed like a simple enough task: have a yard sale, a chili cook-off, a shoot-a-thon, but I would not settle for such a simplistic, almost menial task. Instead, I wanted to demonstrate the speaking skills, acting skills, and creativity of the Mock Trial members, all while raising funds for our program to help build future lawyers, actors, and speakers. So I spent an entire weekend composing Once Upon a Mystery an audience-participation murder mystery with classic storybook characters as the suspects, seventeen roles weaved together with personalities designed to match the members of Mock Trial. Finally satisfied with the content of the mystery, I presented my manuscript
On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

A. Bode. SA J. L. Matherly was also present during the interview.
After being a part of the mock trial, I think that the verdict was not the right one because even though Leah and Jared harmed Ms. Cullen’s reputation, they were not charged for it. Telling from Scratchy, Mona, and Jock the teacher’s evidence, I can support that Leah and Jared harmed Ms. Cullen’s reputation. They all think that her reputation was broken due to the blog that Leah and Jared created on Facebook and what the kids from the school said about her.

Sara, I have called a couple of times to discuss my conversation with KC's defense attorney, but you must be busy. Yesterday, Gabe called me wanting to know why I was not recommending SSODA and I explained to him all of the reasons that were laid out in the addendum. I further went on to say that while I agreed with him that he is in need of treatment, he would get treatment at JRA, if that is where he ends up. He adamantly disagreed with me and stated that KC would go without treatment at JRA, even on Parole. He attempted to put words in my mouth wanting me to confirm that I was not recommending SSODA because he would receive Tx at JRA instead, and I stopped him and said that I see how this conversation is going and I would not allow him to put me on trial. I reiterated that my reasoning for not recommending SSODA is in my eval
On October 13th, 1982, at approximately 1:15 a.m. the neighbors of Queenie Volupides had reported that Queenie tore out of the house after an argument with her husband, Arthur. She quickly got in her Mustang convertible and sped away. Queenie stated that she went to the couple’s country club for a party that was going on to celebrate the opening of the new golfing range. But I believe this was just the beginning of her scheme. I affirm that Queenie has murdered her husband Arthur. (Claim)
Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, me and my co-counsel, Diego Espinosa and Andrew Cope would like to thank you for the generous time you have taken today. Now, this case is a very simple case about how one person is denied humanity and a chance at a different life for the so-called “crimes” that they have committed. Crimes put beyond the thought of normality. They are crimes that enslave innocent people. I would like to ask you one question… What is truth? Truth is facts, truth is evidence, and truth is as important as the quill pen of Thomas Jefferson’s hand for our America.
I knew I didn't pass my jury the moment I saw Mary's face when I asked to see my score sheets. On each of those goldenrod colored pieces of paper, the phrase Jury Failed: Recommended additional semester of study was checked off. My eyes quickly took in each of those scores; 67, 69, 62, 70. I knew that I was going to end my fall semester with a D in my tuba lessons. How pathetic was that? A D in tuba lessons.
“Mock Trial is kinda what is sounds like. You are arguing a case that you get every year, and you split up into plaintiff and defense,” says Michael Triantafilou ‘17, a four year veteran to the program. Mock Trial at St. X is quite unlike any others extracurricular activities. The program allows students to act as lawyers and witnesses as they learn about the legal system. At St. X, there are five teams, allowing around fifty people to participate in the program, as opposed to other schools, who will struggle to have one or two teams. There are also fourteen practicing legal advisers who teach the students about law and help them prepare their case. Students in Mock Trial receive a new

In my opinion, everything went well, first of all, everyone was respectful and patient.This was my first time doing any time of trial so at first, I was nervous but the atmosphere the room was calm which helped me feel better.
