Example – 3 Little Pigs Judge and Jury Defense Attorney Defendant: A. Wolf Witnesses: Granny Wolf Prosecutor Plaintiff – 3 rd Little Pig Witnesses – Bob Fox Ms. Smith-Pig Mr. Sandra Johnston-Wolf

Example Prosecutor Ms. Smith-Pig – what is my job? Opening Statement Questions to Witness Cross Examination of Defense’s Witness Closing Statement

Prosecution’s Opening Statement Ladies and Gentlemen, the Wolf in front of you will try to convince you that he was baking a cake for his grandmother. He looks nice, he sounds like a nice guy. But he is not what he seems. He is a liar and a murderer. Our evidence will convince you that he Intentionally murdered and ate three Innocent pigs.

Prosecution’s Questions to Bob Fox, a former friend of A. Wolf Prosecutor: Mr. Fox, how do you know the defendant? What did A. Wolf say to you on August 4?

Prosecution’s Cross Examination - Is it true that your birthday is on August 5? Has your grandson ever baked a cake for you? To your knowledge, was he planning on baking you a cake this time?

Prosecution’s Closing Statement As you can see, we want a safe community, A. Wolf must be sent to jail. How can we live in peace when a murderer is free? How can we sleep at night knowing that we might be eaten, or our children might be attacked? We have shown you that A. Wolf was hungry for pigs and that there is no reason to believe that he was baking a cake for his grandmother. We also found no baking equipment at A. Wolfs house. His story cannot be trusted. We hope you do the right thing and put this criminal in his place – in jail!
