  2. The Honorable…

  3. What do you know about criminal trials? • You will be put in groups of 4 - 5. • On a sheet of paper: • 1st - Brainstorm as many different steps in a trial your group can think of…What have you seen on TV? What do you remember from your previous mock trial experience? • 2nd – Put those steps in order [3 minutes]

  4. Dude, Where’s My Car? The Facts: Joe Harper went to the grocery store, parked his 1990 blue mini-van, and left his key in the ignition. When he came back an hour later, he got into and drove away in a 1990 blue mini-van that had a key in it…but this van was not his. Harper did not notice it was a different car until minutes after leaving the parking lot in someone else’s van. He was arrested for auto theft.

  5. Dude, Can Joe Appeal? • Auto theft requires that the accused person must have INTENDED to steal the car. • Did Joe intend to steal the car? • Does it matter that Joe intended to drive a 1990 blue mini-van out of the parking lot? • This verdict could be reversed on the grounds that the judge gave the jury the wrong instructions.
