A mock trial, that should midly interesting and intellectual stimulating. That last part was a crock of shit, but that's not important. Why don't we have a mock trial? We could come up with evidence, people could be witnesses, lawyers, a judge, defendent, prosector, jury. We'll vote on whose nation's law we should use. For example, say Kanabia is charged with murdering a drunken teenager? Self-defence or cold-blood murder? Eutrusca beats the shit out of someone because that guy hit his wife. H N goes is charged with having sex with a goat. That sort of thing. Who's in?


The Case:
The South Islands was out with his partner. The couple had been at a party earlier and TSI was seen supposedly drunk at the party. Upon reaching their apartment on the third floor, a man approaches the couple and begins to harass them. He has an object, but it cannot fully be seen. Then there is a black out. You hear someone throw a punch and two people fall down. When the lights come back on, the stranger is seen dead at the bottom of the stairs and the TSI's partner on the floor, with blood all over her head. A neighbor opens the door and sees TSI with a metal bat, the dead man on the floor, and the parter covered in blood. The partner is dead. Did TSI murder her? Did he murder the stranger?

We had a mock trial in my 7th grade class. DIdnt turn out so well. As the defendants lawyers, we made up some BS story about the guy getting shot in the back of the head which lead to severe skitzifrenia (typo) and I bribed the jury.
I cant believe those were ground for 3 lunch detentions:mad:

Probably, but thats my teacehrs fault, not mine.

Unicron is our only true judge. And the verdict is invariably "hungry".

Hahah, how about some first amendment issues?


Though we'd have to evenly distribute the real lawyers to make it fair, assuming the Cat Tribe comes off his cloud and consorts with us mere mortals :p

I think if Cat Tribe does join us, s/he(?) should be the judge, assuming we're using American law.

Whoa. I like how your mind works. I think. :p

sounds good. we should do it law and order style, with someone either dying midtrial or confessing on the stand.

for the law part, why not throw a knot in it: serial murders in two countries.

i'm game!

The countries will be...Peru and...Lithuania. See the connection?

Me neither.

We had a mock trial in the 9th grade, I think I upset the teacher by bringing up legal precedents, and proving that the search was done illegally and got the evidence against my client suppressed so the trial was basically over in 2 days, instead of the 2 weeks he had planned. ;)

Me neither.

sniff. i can take it. sniff.

o.k., maybe bad idea. and yours would be? on the whole law thing?

I'll be one of the guards and get suspended after nearly beating the defendant to death.

How is a floor over someone's head?

Is the androgynous partner dead? Injured? Fine?

Is this on video, or what?

For what charges is TSI standing trial?

Ill fill up the last jury spot if its still left.

For example, say Kanabia is charged with murdering a drunken teenager? Self-defence or cold-blood murder?

>.>

He wasn't drunk...

Ill fill up the last jury spot if its still left.

Damn.

We had a mock election in my grade 10 class before. I was the judge...

...You can figure out how that turned out.

TSI (that slut) seems to have taken the best spot in this closet drama, so I'll have to play the second best role (victim).

*decomposes*

I can be the back up judge.

Although it is true you deserve to die and i voted for that i think this idea is one of your better ones.

I don't think he deserves to die. Maybe severly annoyed with a feather duster, but dying is a bit severe.

I'll be a member of the courtroom media that provides meaningless and redundant commentary, pointing out the obvious with emphatic whispers.

1) I'll reword that bit.

2)She's dead.

3) No video, only testimony of the witness, possibly forensic evidence.

4)Murder

Jury list updated.

Prosecutor or jury

If this thread gets any longer, I'll stop looking at it. So, I'll have to go with the "No, this idea is horrible, and you deserve to die." Which is just the noble sloth aspect of me shining brightly through.

No, and it's horrible. You deserve to die.

I volunteer to be a witness or in the jury if any more is needed ;)

YO! I wanna be in the Jury!

I call defendant!
He's a Witch! Burn him!

how do you know he is a witch?

I would like to be on the jury, if that spot is still open.
