~HASS Year 9 ~
To round off our study of Civics in HASS this term, we have held a mock trial in our Year 9.1 class. Our defendant was accused of locking her boyfriend in a house and setting it on fire. The prosecution team had prepared their case into the late hours of the night and entered court armed not only with a lengthy speech but also with a warrant from a judge permitting the seizure of the defendant’s phone and a copy of suspicious text messages.
Not to be outdone, the defence team produced exhibits of their own, such as photographic evidence of the defendant enjoying a calm night with her friends and a lighter linked to the fire. The prosecution called two compelling eyewitnesses in a neighbour and the defendant’s landlord, who both claimed to have witnessed the crime with their own eyes.
However, the prosecution’s witnesses soon crumbled under intense cross-examination from the defence team, with the second witness making the fatal error of providing a different time of the crime. Seizing upon this inconsistency and producing two witnesses of their own who swore to the good character of the defendant, the defence raised reasonable doubt as to whether a crime had been committed.
At the end of closing statements, our jurors exited for deliberation. Recalling the legal principle we have learned of the onus upon the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, our jury returned with a “Not guilty” verdict to jubilant shouts of victory from the defence and the frustration of the prosecution!
