Mongol Trial

Mongol Trial 5
Today is the day! The first day of the trials where we are convicting the Mongols for their crimes! Shivesh did the opening statement and did a very good job. His opening statement was very moving, well done and showed that he was well-prepared. Nathan who did the opening statement for the defense sort of helped the prosecution. After the opening statements of both, the defense and prosecution, we moved on with calling witnesses to the stand for direct as well as cross examination. Dillon who was the Pope Innocent was first then I was. After us, Rachel was called to the stand and that was all for the first day. And hopefully tomorrow will be great for the prosecution!

Mongol Trial 6

Today is the second day of the trial. We had 3 witnesses from the prosecution that had to be called to the stand. Anjali was first then Tommy then Tori. The defense did not do so well; when Nathan was questioning the witness, he kept going in circles, he was asking irrelevant questions and eventually he ran out of time. After that, the witnesses were called to stand for direct and cross examinations. Michelle was the cross examiner and she did an amazing job! She showed sass and she should definitely be a lawyer in the future. Today was really good the prosecution side and we got the evidence that we were convicting them of. I’m looking forward to the closing statements because they are important to the trial. Ashay is going to do the closing statement from the prosecution side. I think the defense's closing statement will be interesting but they have no chance of winning this trial.
