I can be a witness but I have no idea how the court system works . . . I've seen one court drama and it was a k-drama

Witnesses basically come up when the judge calls them and tells their story under an oath of truth

I did a mock trial freshman year, let's see how much I remember...

Prosecution makes their opening statement, defense makes their opening statement. Prosecution calls up first witness, questions witness, defense questions witness, prosecution calls up next witness, repeats until prosecution has no witnesses. Then defense calls their witnesses and the same pattern continues the other direction. Once all witnesses have spoken, jury deliberates

Objections I remember:

Leading the witness - trying to get a very specific answer from a witness

Relevance - trying to get irrelevant information from witness

Hearsay - asking for secondhand information

Almond that's good for you to know too

"What? No, he's a witness. You said "You're joking, right? you dont actually think that?" In response to JM (right?) saying that we had smart people. That's an insult to the attorneys."

Our final for Romeo and Juliet was a mock trial to determine the guilt/innocence of Friar Lawrence, the nurse, and the parents of the two... maybe someone else? Been a few years. I was the nurse, and I was found GUILTY!

So essentially I was "LARPing" as the nurse from Romeo and Juliet, the jury found "me" guilty of the deaths of Romeo and Juliet

I would like to point out that we do not need in any way to follow court procedure.

I think I'm going to have people that are technically on the jury also be witnesses and such.

Bookwyrm stood there through all the yelling.

This is going to take a long while, isn't it? he thought. Maybe it's a lost cause.

He looked over at Eddie.

I just have to know...what is she so scared of?
