ROLE PLAY
Exercise 9. Role play a mock trial. Choose a role card.
Background
On February 29 the complainant found his car (2014 Renault Duster license number 654 AK) stolen from the parking lot
near his house. The next day the police officer stopped this car
and arrested the driver. The defendant’s fingerprints were on
the keys used to steal the car.
Remember that events in a trial take place in a particular
order:
Step 1. Opening a court session. The presiding judge opens
a session and announces the composition of the court.
Step 2. Opening statements. The lawyers for each side express their views on the case. The public prosecutor goes first
and the defence lawyer goes next.
Step 3. Presentation of evidence. Witnesses are called and
physical exhibits are shown.
Step 4. Final arguments. The final arguments are the law-
yers’ last chance to talk about the evidence and to try to con-
vince the judge to see the case the way they do.

ing to the complainant . No one had his permission to drive the
car. The defendant admitted wanting to drive the car because it
was fast. That shows that the defendant planned to keep the car
for at least a little while. According to that fact you must find the
defendant guilty.

against my client. You will come to know the truth: that the defendant was just riding in a car stolen by someone else. After
finding out that the car was stolen, the defendant was just trying
to do the right thing by returning the car to its owner. Therefore
my client is not guilty.

the man who had stolen that car. He got into the car because he
had never ridden in a Renault Duster before. My client’s finger-
prints were found on the keys because he had to touch them
when the officer pulled the car over. But the expert told you that
other fingerprints were found on those keys that could not be
identified. I suggest to you that they belong to the real thief. My
defendant is an honest person and was only trying to return the
car to its owner. You must find him not guilty.
