The Mock Trial game

Post Reply New Topic

Got this idea that I hope will be well received by WP..

I guess we all know how trials work with judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, defendants, plaintiffs and witnesses. As the presiding judge, I am the game leader. There is no official legal system in this game and improvisation by the parties is welcomed. The parties may call witnesses to testify, upon which the first user who expresses interest gets to play that role.

Trial 1:

Mr. Jorge Perez from South California was stopped by CBP on a late Sunday night on the Mexican-American border on his way home from visiting his family in Mexico. The CBP agent who interviewed Mr. Perez noticed that he was uncomfortable, sweating and nervous at the time and he referred him to a secondary stop where his car was processed by a sniffer dog. 2 kg of marijuana was found in Mr. Perez' car's trunk. Mr. Perez was detained and charged with possesion and sale of narcotics. He was put in jail where he has spent the last three months.

We need someone to play these roles:

Defendant, Mr. Jorge Perez
Defense cousel, Ms. Samantha Smith
Prosecutor, Mr. James Lopez

If there were a fixed legal system I might play.

I am Mr. Jorge Perez.
I am a man on the land standing under Common Law.
I do not enter a plea nor shall I stand under the color of Law.
I have an affidavit of truth attesting to my use of Marijuana and will be defending myself as I am not a ward of the state and retain my god given rights and my sovereign rights.

Still want to play. Some trials you don't get to see work very differently.

Oh it looks like fun. I'll be the defendant.

And apparently I'm now a woman . Interesting.
