Mock Trial Reflection.
In the 8th grade we studied how to be lawyers. He each picked what we were more interested in either the Defense or the Prosecution. We had a few teaching sessions from John Fraher. I got a lot of knowledge from it including it could be a future career. The case was basically about there was a man who dated a lot of people. He was dating a girl broke up with her but she still wanted him. Then she had the opportunity to kill her ex boyfriends current girlfriend.
Mock trials I enjoyed could of been one of my favorites the whole year. It wasn’t about the end result whether you win or lost even though beating Tobin would have been nice. I did feel I did the best I could but missing a day did affect the outcome. I enjoyed the no script your on your own feel that sorta you have to get something done feel. I missed the most important thing I think which brought my case to a end was the jury can’t vote guilty because it was more then like 75% her fingerprint. Mr. Closing pitcher Tobin Groth threw that disaster and ended the game. I honestly wish the jury was older I know I’m just using excuses, but I was irritated then all they said was both did a good job but thats all I heard no useful stuff I got out of them. I think it was mostly the wording of Tobin saying ” You cannot vote her guilty” and them being 5th + 6th graders listened to that most.
The first learning sessions with John I enjoyed a lot I got a lot out of it instead of just doing nothing during it. John in a way got me more interested in law because if there is a way to be loud at something to do a good job? Thats me right there loud and obnoxious wins things. I mean I can understand how stressful it is but you look at what a lawyers making usually its pretty insane amounts per hour for defense attorneys.
