Today, was the Mock Trial! I was very nervous, but somehow feeling comfortable because witnesses didn't have a lot of work to do. The lawyers should match the time adn make up more questions. It is actually a very tough job. Witnesses just needed to answer the questions and it was pretty simple. The result, or, the outchome was our team losing. It was too obvious in my thoughts, because we had a lot of weakness that we needed to improve. There were mainly 2 of them. First, the lawyers didn't act ery well. It felt like something is kind of missing, the strategies were too weak, we didn't prove Mrs. Johnson's innocence in a clear way. We had only one evidence as well. Also, the cross-examination was too weak. The lawyer didn't ask questions that made actual sense and kept making opinions about the case. So, I was very worried. Of course, there were about total 10 objections from the Crown side. It was pretty obvious. I wanted to act out as the cross-exam lawyer because it would be fun making rebuttal. I have confidence to point out the weakness of the other side as well. I will try harder at the next trial.
