Mock Tortles Took It All

Well, our mock trial team, the Nixonators, made it to the Semifinals of the tournament.



Our case was the crappily written State of Lone Star v. Alan Blizard. Despite the many frustrations dealing with a particularly underhanded team, I found some comfort in supplying our own witnesses (see horror stories). Admittedly, the first Casey we came up against was horrible--long, irrelevant rants about her pilates class and Passions--but most horrendous of all, she claimed she never saw a key piece of evidence. She recanted as soon as I started impeaching her, but still.

When the sides switched and I became Casey, that was a whole lot of fun; I made a skating rink uniform and wore it to the witness stand. At least one person (Cat) said she'd be interested in an Armadillo Skateworld shirt, so now it's available from Zazzle.

And I am now a member of the Mock Trial Board. I will get to represent our school in interscholastic competitions next year.
