Legal Studies Asignment

In legal, now until the end of term, we have an assignement to do
we are spilt in to two groups of six and we have to do a mock trial
we can choose to do a criminal or civil case
of course we choose to do criminal case!
the other group is doing it too
and my group is doing attempted murder
that is what the other group is doing too
copycats....lol
we were about to do murder but we won't have a victim then (the assignment specify to have a victim)
and then we thought why not do rape but then we thought of attempted murder
Jemima is the defendant
Laura is the victim
I'm the witness of the prosecutor
Courtney is the witness of the defendant
and Andy and Koldy is barristers for both sides
the jury and the judge is the teacher and people from the other group
by the way, i'm a french old lady in the case
i could use my french accent then!
This is the plot of or case
Jemima and Laura are sisters
Jemima is married
Jemima's husband have an affair with Laura and one day Courtney caught them 'flinging' but they didn't see her (just cutting short on the info!)
she goes back and tell Jemima and Jemima says she needs to calm down by herself so Courtney left
later, jemima couldn't calm down and grab a kitchen knife and drove of to Laura's
Jemima's husband when back to work before Jemima arrives
The Jemima, with the spare key opens the door and have an argument with Laura
Laura wanted to call the police and when she got her back turned, Jemima stab her in the back
Jemima grabs the knife and runs out the door (this is now night time!) and I see her through my window (i'm laura's neighbour by the way) and saw Jemima. I know Jemima because Laura and Jemima lived together before Jemima got married.

That is basically the basic plot.

We are still altering it if we have to suit the questioning of both barristers.
I hope we get this finish
However, Andy and Courtney won't be here to do the mock trial
Courtney is going to Adelaide and Andy have to go to the passing out parade for cadets
i'm doing Courtney's bit too so i'm two witnesses
As for Andy, we can't loose a proscutor so we might do it earlier than the other group, i'm guessing
hope it goes well
We have to film it so the teacher can slowly observe us on tape and mark us on it.
*sigh* everyone don't really co-operate hope it gets better....
everyone is so.....tired and droppy maybe its the end of the week....
It will get better, i guess.....
