Mongol Trial Progress 1/9/14

Today, the prosecution side of the upcoming trial ran a practice trial. We began with the opening statement and then questioned the prosecution witnesses. This exercise helped all the witnesses develop a stronger understanding of how they should be answering the questions on the day of the actual trial. It also assisted in identifying errors in backstories for witnesses and errors or typos in the opening statement. I participated in this activity as the peasant witness, Li Wei. Overall this mock trial helped bring the group together for a good collaborative review for the upcoming Mongo trial.
