Last Saturday we did a kind of courtcase at class. First the prosecution and the defence part swear that they will say only the true and nothing more than the true. Then we heard the words of the prosecution part and they accused Vince and Arlene for Paul´s death . In order to begin the case the judge brought Vince to the front side and urge the prosecution´s lawyer to ask some question to Vince. Mario the "lawyer" asked him if he had conscience about what he did to Paul. He also mention if he called the ambulance right after the crash happened. Then Vince said that he did know about the consequences and that his death wasn´t at all his fault. Then the defense´s lawyer Jenny asked some questions to Vince and he respond them in a good way. In that moment the prosecution objected but the judge was trying to understand everything so he denied their objection.
Next we had Arlene in the front side of the "court" and she explained the situation and what she did in the moment of the accident. Then the other prosecution´s lawyer Raul asked her about why she acted in that way. She admitted that she didn´t called tha ambulance because Paul told her that he was going to die with or without the ambulance. She also mention that she called the police but they get there five o four hours late.
The judge asked to both sides if they had any more witness and the prosecution brought the sergent of somewhere near the accident. After the interrogaration the sergent brought the proof which he found in the “crash” scene and explained it to the jury.
At the end the jury and the judge discuss about the verdict. They had lots of problems because Vince and Arlene were just sixteen and they weren´t able to put them in jail. So at the end they told everyone that Vince and Arlen were innocent of murdering Paul but they blame them because they didn´t called the ambulance in the moment. Then the judge decided that Vince and Arlene have to do social work for three months and they have to pay $10000 to Paul´s family.
