Hey Barbara,
I've got 2 Pacific Crest teams entered into the Mock Trial competition.
How disruptive would it be to reduce to one team? If it's disruptive,
we'll carry on and keep 2 teams. If it's not disruptive (maybe it actually
helps with scheduling) then I'd like to reduce to one team. Thanks,
Mark

sure they know the date and their responsibilities. It is very disruptive
and difficult for regional coordinators when judges cancel at the last
minute.

competition. Please contact these terrific individuals for information that
is specific to your region (location, times, etc.). As local Regional

*II. Official Answers to Questions Posted to the Listserv – Week 3*
(Week 1 – Questions 1, 2; Week 2 – Question 3)
4. Q. Feb. 4: A couple of my attorneys wanted me to ask you about
the lack of the specific ORS in this year's case. Was this intentional? Are
we to have the kids research the specific elements of the statutes? Is it
okay to bring in the statutes as an outside resource/reference?
A. No, this was not intentional; it was an oversight. Students should not
use outside resources or references; doing so could result in a violation
of the mock trial rules. Therefore, the following information is now
officially a part of the Jury Instructions:
*THE STATE MUST PROVE*
*475.908 Causing another person to ingest a controlled substance*
Oregon law provides that a person commits the crime of causing another
person to ingest a controlled substance if the person knowingly or
intentionally causes the other person to ingest a controlled substance
without consent of the other person. In this case, to establish the crime
of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, the state must
prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following elements:
1. 1. The act occurred on or about December 5, 2014;
2. 2. Bobbie Dousa knowingly or intentionally caused Addison Anderson
to ingest a controlled substance; and
3. 3. Addison Anderson did not consent to the ingestion of the
controlled substance.
*163.160 Assault in the 4th degree*
Oregon law provides that a person commits the crime of assault in the
fourth degree if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes
physical injury to another. In this case, to establish the crime of assault
in the fourth degree, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the
following elements:
1. 1. The act occurred on or about December 5, 2014; and
2. 2. Bobbie Dousa intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused
physical injury to Addison Anderson.
*166.065 Harassment*
Oregon law provides that a person commits the crime of harassment if the
person intentionally harasses or annoys a person by subjecting that person
to offensive physical contact. In this case, to establish the crime of
harassment, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following
elements:
1. 1. The act occurred on or about December 5, 2014;
2. 2. Bobbie Dousa harassed or annoyed Addison Anderson by subjecting
Addison
Anderson to offensive physical contact; and
3. 3. Bobbie Dousa intended to harass or annoy Addison Anderson.
