Itβs the start of the of a new semester and Professor Griswold has a few tricks up his sleeve. His first idea was putting this particular group of eight students together to compete for a grand prize. Now, he plans to have some fun with it. Two sides will be established, the Prosecutor and the Defense. The winners get points towards the final competition.
For our first event, we are about to put on the messiest mock trial. Professor Griswold is having The Love Club act out what a trial will look like, each student with a different role. We will be writing the characters portraying their roles in the trial, however there will be times they break out of the role as the drama ensues. They are able to ask questions to the professor, or critique their classmates performances at any time. This will be a fight both in their specific role and in their normal character.
In todayβs lecture, Professor Griswold had passed out folders to each student and inside it contains a case summary, approved evidence that each side can use to show the judge, and a list of roles.
ππππ πππππππ:Β Oxford real estate developer Philip Fontaine was found dead in his home in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 11, 2021.
Fontaine's young wife, Ashley, found his body in a dried up, pool of blood on the kitchen floor around 1:00 a.m. Both Mrs. Fontaine and her stepson Grant reportedly arrived home minutes before the 911 call was made.
Now, in September 2022, the case is about to come to trial, and the defense claims to have evidence exonerating the accused and implicating another suspect.
The night of the murder, Emergency Services received a 911 call reporting a man found dead on his kitchen floor. When sheriff's officers arrived at the location, they found a gruesome scene.
After examining the scene, Detective Armstrong talked to the victim's wife, Ashley Fontaine, who found the body and called 911.
Then the detective tried to get some sense out of the victim's son, Grant Fontaine, about what he'd been doing the night his father was killed.
After the sun came up, as a local news crew was reporting from the scene, Detective Armstrong got more information about the victim.
Later, while the detective reviewed a preliminary list of evidence collected at the scene, the Oxford Weekly Planet published their coverage of the murder.
That same morning, the Fontaines' housekeeper, Stacy McCracken, came in to meet with Detective Armstrong. This is where he learned that Philip had a girlfriend.
After lunch, the detective sat down with Mr. Fontaines' girlfriend, Raquel Santos, and revealed that Philip had been having arguments with his business partner, Josie Beecher.

Only the murderer knows the truth. On the day the event starts, we will be messaging each of you blurbs for your character and in character Griswold will be passing them out to the students in envelopes. It will give you a sense of how to go about the trial, but you may take it anywhere you would like. The crazier the better. At the end, we will be taking a vote to see which side was the most persuasive. In the classroom, Griswold, as the judge, will announce the winner and award them with extra points that goes towards the final competition.
If you have any questions, donβt hesitate to reach out to either one of us and we will be happy to help!
