I.2 Try and introduce new prosecution and defence witnesses. They may be a husband, children, a neighbour, a customer, a charwoman in the shop, etc.

 

II. Preparations For The Trial

2.1 Distribute the parts. You will need…

A judge: to take charge of the court. This is your first court you have organized; it will probably be easier if your teacher acts as the main judge.

A clerk to the court: to call the witnesses, and help them to take the oath before giving evidence.

 

The barrister for the prosecution:to present the case for Hall’s Department Store to the court and to question the witnesses.

Mr. Barras: the manager of Hall’s Department Store is the “plaintiff”.

Ms. Keenly:the shop assistant.

Other witnesses for the prosecution.

The barrister for the defence: to present Lady Wyatt’s caseto the court and to question the witnesses.

Lady Wyatt:who is accused of shop-lifting. She is known in law as the “defendant”.

David Wilton:an old friend of Lady Wyatt.

Mr. Holier:A doctor of Lady Wyatt.

Other witnesses for the defence.

 

2.2 Split into two groups: prosecution and defence. Discuss the common tactics, set of evidence and circumstances, which will serve you to win the case and destroy the case of your opponent.

 

Instructions for barristers: your job is to make sure that the jurors hear all the evidence that helps the case of your client.

· Read each witness statement and decide on the points that will do most to help your client win the case;

· Make a note of the questions you want to ask each witness;

· These questions should be asked in a way that allows each witness to give her or his evidence to the court;

Arrange the following questions, according to their belonging either to the words of the counsel for the prosecution or to the words of the counsel for the defense. Put the questions in the proper order.

1) How wealthy is she?

2) What did she say she had intended to do?

3) Why didn’t she spend more time looking for an assistant?

4) Does she need to work?

5) Why hadn’t she done it?

6) Is she usually punctual?

7) Is she a regular customer?

8) What would she have done if she hadn’t caught?

9) How long had she been taking pills?

10) Had she ever stolen anything?

11) How much does she spend a year?

12) Had she ever suffered from loss of memory?

Instructions for barristers:

· Keep your questions clear;

· Do not ask questions which can only be answered yes or no – the witnesses must say what happened for themselves;

· Listen to the answers given by the witnesses;

· Try to think of extra questions to put to the other side to throw doubt on what they are saying;

· When the witnesses have been questioned, the judge will ask you to sum up your case;

· This is the last opportunity you will have to convince the jurors that your client is in the right. Be prepared to alter your speech to use any new evidence that you have learnt during the case.
