Trial was in session at Bayview school, as the fourth grade Mock Trial team hosted a dress rehearsal on May 9 in preparation for its Mock Trial Competition at Suffolk County Community College. The assigned case was the people of the State of New York against Michael Walker.
With a prosecution team and a defense team, each student was assigned different roles of either a lawyer, witness or alternate. With that, they showcased their skills in front of their families and sharpened their roles before the big competition.
Both Bayview's prosecution team and defense team contested against other districts, with the prosecution team winning the trial against North Shore Glen Head's fifth grade defense team.
The judges were very impressed with their performances and look forward to seeing them again next year.
