Another Message from Mr. Weckel -- Attorney-Dude

Thanks again for the opportunity to serve your students. Please tell them that I wish them all the best of luck, and that it is in the process of doing that we learn, regardless of the outcome.

Notes on Feb. 11

Thank you to Mr. Ted Weckel for coming to help us!

Attorney: "Good afternoon. Please state your name for the record."
Ask who, what, where, when, who questions.
If in cross examination the witness is beginning to narrate instead of directly answer your question-- "Your honor, would you please instruct the witness to answer my question?"

Mr. Weckel suggests that we start with the bomb -- the most powerful evidence.

We may need to redirect Sawyer.

"We've already covered that."
if objection for Hear Say, not using for the truth of what the counselor told her, but to show how it affected the witness -- impact
Continue How did the threat make you feel? (take away every argument you can)
1. saw Casey
2. wouldn't risk it
3. knows what she's doing -- wouldn't make one like that.


Order of witnesses? Sawyer first?
What teen wouldn't want to be Sawyer?

"Turning your attention to April 4, where were you at 6:45 am?
How did you know it was 6:45?

Casey to counselor -- confidential, privilege?

What she draws is representative of her plans?
Is Sawyer cocky? (As prosecution, we need to show that she is not.)

Fact statement
Our theory

Bomb to scare?
garbage cans a convenient place to plant a bomb -- may not have been targeting anyone in particular (defense?)more

expert witness -- introducing?
be familiar with counts
presenting physical evidence

evidence -- motive
Boa -- "Who would have done this?"
hoping
people in painting tinted green
intent!!

define weapon of mass destruction
