Description

A complete mock trial for a co-op or group — case file, roles, evidence, procedure and verdict form.

A trusted bookkeeper moved $47,500 through a shell company. She admits every transaction. What she disputes is intent, and intent is the real battleground in most embezzlement cases. A jury could reasonably convict or acquit depending on how it weighs the evidence — there is no predetermined verdict.

**This needs a group.** Eight people minimum, better with twelve so there is a real jury. If you teach one or two students at home, the Court Systems unit covers criminal procedure for a single learner.

Pairs with the Court Systems unit, whose criminal timeline follows this exact case up to the courtroom door.
