Describe?

8. Goldilocks, the accused. Age unknown, residing at 2 Fairytale Lane. Girl.

It was a lovely day when I went for my walk.

I wasn’t supposed to go into the forest, but I knew of the lovely cottage the bears had. Some of my friends are friendly with Baby bear, but I don’t know him.

I walked until I got to the cottage. It was much further than I thought.

I don’t know why I went inside.

I didn’t mean to eat all the porridge. I didn’t mean to break the chair.

When I saw the beds I felt really tired. I tried two beds, but one was too hard and one was too soft. The little bed was lovely.

I thought I would lie there until the bears came home and I would tell them about the accidents. I didn’t realise I fell asleep.

I got such a fright when I woke up. I didn’t remember where I was. There were three bears looking down at me.

I jumped up and ran away. I didn’t mean to do any harm.

I didn’t do any of it deliberately.

The Crown Speech to the Jury - seeking conviction

The prosecutor addresses the jury first, then the defence.

Each side summarises the evidence presented during the questioning in a way that supports their case.

In a criminal case, assuming there is sufficient evidence, the prosecution asks the jury to find the accused "guilty".

The prosecutor

will say:-

"My Lord I close the Crown case".

Once all the evidence has been heard

The defence lawyer

say

"My Lord that closes the case for the defence".

It is time for the "Speeches to the Jury".

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury

I now have the opportunity to address you on behalf of the Crown.

It is my function to present the evidence - but it is your function to decide whether on the evidence the Crown have proved the accused "Guilty" beyond reasonable doubt.

You may have little difficulty in deciding that someone was guilty of maliciously damaging the three bears’ property - but "Who was it?"

The Crown say there is no reasonable doubt that the accused Goldilocks was responsible.

On the evidence, the factors pointing to Goldilocks’ guilt are as follows: -

1.__________________________________________________________

2.__________________________________________________________

3.__________________________________________________________

In short, the Crown say that Goldilocks’ guilt has been proved beyond reasonable doubt and that you should convict.

I invite you to return a verdict of "guilty".
