Mock Trial Opening Statement-prosecution Your honor and people of the Jury, this Is an Indictment of attempted premeditated murder. The Indictment sets forth that ‘Mr.. Gene Forrester, one summer night, on the limb of a tree located at Devon School, purposely Jostled the tree branch (on which OTOH him and Epiphanies were on) In order to make Epiphanies plummet to the ground, whereof his schoolmate Epiphanies fell to the ground shattering his leg. To this indictment the defendant pleaded not guilty, if we prove him guilty, you must find him so. We will prove this as particular as can be, that Gene Forrester was Epiphanies’ friend and vice versa, and without provocation the accused deliberately jostled the limb of the tree in order to cause Epiphanies to fall to the ground. It would appear most arbutus to not only attempt to murder a man in this manner, but to have planned it as well.
We have reason to believe that Mr.. Forrester was indeed jealous of Epiphanies. Epiphanies was the recipient of multiple sportsmanship awards such as the Winslow Calibrating Memorial Football Trophy for having brought the most Christian sportsmanship to the game during the 1941-1942 season. Mr.. Forrester was in Epiphanies’ shadow, provoking new of rotor 2 Epiphanies’ accomplishments and personality. There was only one person in his path to superiority, and that person was Epiphanies.
In order to overcome this obstacle known as Epiphanies, the only solution was to get rid of him. Mr.. Forrester planned to rid of Epiphanies, however he didn’t know how, and when the opportunity came up, he took it. Gene Forrester has committed a heinous crime, attempting to take the life of his own friend, and this heinous act was out of sheer Jealousy. This act went against everything his classmate Epiphanies was about, this was non-Charlatans.
