Personal Narrative: My Role In The Mock Trial

Decent Essays
My role in the mock trial was to be the Nurse which was one of the defense witnesses. I sat behind the defense attorneys and waited till my name was called to go up on the stand. Once I was up in the witness booth, I had to rase my right hand and say that I swear; to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help God, and I did. I was questioned the defense side and then the prosecution side. The defense took it easy on me, but the prosecution took it hard and they were determined to win the

    I’m confused. I don’t know what to think or how I should feel. All my life white folks have always convicted black folks for doing something that wasn’t bad at all. I have thought this and thought that. I can’t make up my mind and can’t get my head on straight.…

    It was a small court room, and the room was filled with all sorts of people. I think there were some that was there for court and some were there to hear someone’s sentencing. There was a banner you could see as you walked in at the front of the room that said” Show up, Be honest, and Try”. To my left of the court room there was a jury box with people in it, I thought there was a trial going on, but actually there were two people in orange and I believe the other people were counselors for their program.…

    This makes me mad, because to get an innocent child involved in your criminal activities is a shame. I know that the Fourth Amendment protects all United States citizens against unlawful search and seizure of contraband. In this case, I think that during a traffic stop law enforcement had probable cause she had drugs in her possession and they search her. She had a history of possession and selling drugs.…

    As a criminal justice major, I found this chapter particularly interesting. I tend to wrestle with the insanity plea. I realize that there are some cases where it is beyond evident that the person was criminally insane. However, for the most part I tend to see it as a cop out. I see it as a way for the defense to get their client freed from responsibility.…

    I headed into the courtroom of Judge Thomas Marcelain to observe my first courtroom trial. The trial involved a 31-year-old man named, Daniel Bohanna, of Pataskala. Mr. Bohanna decided to represent himself in his trial for fear of misrepresentation. He was charged with rape, kidnapping, and felonious assault. I have seen footage on T.V. from famous trials and of course seen reenactments from Hollywood, but I have never been to one in person until now.…

    For my mentorship paper I chose to speak with an attorney named Margaret G. Zickuhr. Mrs. Zickuhr is a Marquette Graduate and who practices primarily family law out of her firm named Houseman and Feind LLP where she is a partner. I chose to speak with Mrs. Zickuhr for several reasons. Firstly, because of my interest in ADR practices specifically mediation and negotiation, I have begun to look into possibly going into family law. Secondly, being that we are licensed upon graduation in the state of Wisconsin I have considered the idea of staying in the state for a few years before possibly applying for reciprocity in another state later on.…

    The mock trial in which I participated as a juror was derived from the riveting novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The premise of this novel was a black man named Tom Robinson being accused of raping a white woman known as Mayella Ewell. As a jury member in the mock trial, it was my job to identify the evidence presented by the defense and prosecution teams and discuss with the other jury members whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. Through being a jury member, and being placed in a situation where the collaboration of opinions is required, I have learned to stay true to my beliefs and have learned the importance of decision making.…

    My commitment to mock trial will enrich the UW Lacrosse campus because I can encourage the mock trial team to see other ways of thinking that could help the team when they compete. My adoration for mock trial will motivate me to help the team succeed in any way I can, even if that means I’m not a starting member of the team. Coming from a high school with a rather intense mock trial program that has a four year first place win streak at regional competition I can keep up with teams that are incredibly competitive because my team in high school was also extremely competitive. This can help the mock trial team, especially if the team were to compete against a particularly competitive team.…
