  3. Courtroom trial • Every citizen of the US has the right to an attorney and a defense against any charges that are brought on a person. • Innocent until proven guilty. • Muff Potter had an unfair trial. • We are going to give him a more just trial.

  5. Opening statements • One of the most important roles for the attorneys is to make an impeccable opening statement. • This sets the tone for their job and their position in the trial (for or against) • This also puts a message into the minds of the jury…a pre-judgement or sorts. • http://www.wikihow.com/Write-an-Opening-Statement • Make a compelling case to the jury and the court!

  6. Know the facts • Re-read and analyze Ch. 9 • Write a numbered outline of the events in the order that they occurred • Detail any info/details that could help the court case • Re-read and analyze Ch. 23 • Who are the witnesses? • What statements did they make? • Are their statements true? • Is there any physical evidence? • Who was at the scene? • What evidence is there? For the crime? For Muff Potter? About his character? • Defense/Prosecution’s job to present the character of the person (as bad…or good) • Gather evidence for both sides on your T-chart
