The Mock Trial

Today we got a chance to experience a Mock trial. The trial was between Lee Jones and the Badger Aeromechanical Corporation. Lee Jones accused the Badger corporation of being the cause of his liver cancer which he was recently diagnosed with.His daughter was also diagnosed with autism.These two conditions can be caused by the chemicals they were exposed to from the Badger corporation.Both plaintiff and defense had very good and believable testimonies.With this being said the insurance company stepped in gave the plaintiff a settlement.

In conclusion it was a very interesting and educational experience for us.We learned what takes place and the procedures that occur in a court setting.We think the group as a whole and former Mayor John Street did a wonderful job.This experience is greatly appreciated.
