Mock Trial (2000-2001)

The 2000/2001 Case Synopsis(to the best of my memory;it was a few months ago):
Kat Hunter is an 11 year old who has been bounced from foster home to foster home from a very early age. There are reports of her/him displaying violent tendencies, like rumors of shooting a neighbor's cat or the essay he/she wrote about an amusmant park massacre. However, Kat has never before actually done anything violent and much of what he/she is reported with could be passed off as childish imaturity. After all, Kat is only eleven years old...
Enter Madison McDaniel. Madison is the only thing that's steady in Kat's life. He/She is Kat's 16 year old cousin. The two are very close. In fact, Madison has always been a role model to Kat. Madison taught Kat gun safety how to handle guns, which has always been an interest of the McDaniel family. Kat idolizes Madison, and would do anything for her/him.

And then on April 1st, 2000, Brit Spears, a rival of Madison, ends up dead with a bullet wound to the head. And the one behind the gun...none other than 11 year old Kat Hunter.

The point of the trial is to prove whether or not Madison, the defendant, intentionally assisted, aided, or encouraged Kat into killing Brit. Different people, a neighbor with a possible grudge, a teacher who hasn't really seen her student, Madison, in 6 years, a accident prone cop with a bias against teenagers, and an eyewitness with a vision problem all take the stand in order to vouch for their side. In each round, the proscecution of one team is pitted against the defense of another, and the whole things starts all over again...
