Mock Trial Begins
The 2016 Massachusetts Mock Trial Competition is under way, and Carver students, let by Ms. Perkins are preparing to present either side of the case. This year challenges the team with a criminal murder case involving a war veteran who may or may not have suffered from PTSD which did or didn’t activate a reflexive response to fireworks going off around him; the end result was that his high school nemesis was shot multiple times and killed. The trial dates and final team have not yet been set, but stay tuned.
