GOLDILOCKS ON TRIAL
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written, it is mine to avenge, I will repay says the Lord.” — Romans 12:18-19 A jury of third-graders learning about the justice system convicted Goldilocks on two breaking and entering charges, but deadlocked on theft charges stemming from the disappearance of the Bears’ porridge. Last week’s mock trial in Maryland District Court was an exercise to show fifty third graders from Cecil Manor Elementary School how the justice system works. The charges stemmed from a complaint filed by the bears, when they said they found a five-year-old girl asleep in one of their bedrooms. “Can she get the electric chair?” juror Michael Balnkenship asked, even before the testimony ended.
