Mock Trial Update 3

So.... been a while since I posted one of these. Needless to say, alot has happened since then. We're all getting ready for dress rehearsals and then scrimmages will start. More importantly, the bar foundation made one of the most wild and insane clarifications ever.

The bar foundations announced a couple weeks ago that the witness KC Perry is being replaced with Mikey Skogan! KC was the wife of Loren, who is the defendent. KC's testimony was practically useless, especially because she suffered from a rare brain tumor that prevented her from remembering any relevant information. Additionally, her testimony doesn't make sense at all because her very being contradicts the facts of the case. According to doctor's life expectancy projections, her brain tumor was supposed to kill KC at least a year and a half ago from the time of the trials.

The bar foundation obviously made a mistake by making KC a witness in the case, but replacing her with a whole nother witness is even worse. Mikey Skogan is a total jerk college student. His main point in the case is to counter Peyton's testimony. Apart from that and the fact that he found Bailey in the hotel room, he is no more useful than KC was as a witness. After some controversy as to whether to keep the students playing each witness the same, Mrs. Worgess decided to have the roles stay the same, which means Kelsey and Amy, who were playing KC, are now playing Mikey. Talk about fustrating... What's worse is that this was clarified the week before the KCs were supposed to finish memorizing the second longest witness statement in the case... ...and now they have a whole new one to memorize from scratch.


Anyway... It is quarter to 7 and I'm only up this early because I'm leaving for Fall State at quarter after, so this is obviously where I end. Until the next update...

Review of Switchfoot's new album Hello Hurricane pending. I've got a precis and a debate case to write though. Hopefully I'll get around to it before Fall State next weekend.
