When he was fifteen, he was tried for an offence he obviously did not commit, found guilty and sentenced to death; but no one, not even those dearest to him, tried to help him. | ||

Would it be to anyone's disadvantage if they tried to help him? Did he confess to the crime? Was he helping anyone by being sentenced to death? Is the nature of the crime relevant? | ||

Did the crime happen a short time before he was tried? Was it within a year? Much longer? | ||

By not helping him, would the other people - gain anything? - avoid trouble? Legal/financial/reputation - protect someone? Was he a scapegoat? Was the trial legally correct (by Western standards)? Was the death sentence ever carried out? Did anyone appeal or declare a mistrial? | ||

Did the crime happen a short time before he was tried? Was it within a year? Much longer? FA, remember I said he did NOT commit the crime Does he have a brother or a sister? Irr sentenced to death = killed by law officials? In the sense that that is what 'sentenced to death' means, yes does it matter the method that he would be killed by? old age? was he going to die anyway? All FA | ||

Was this a real trial? or part of a mock trial/mock court competition? | ||

Did he escape? Was he set free legaly? Had it been more difficult to set him free if anyone had interfered with the court? Is the country or when this happened relevant? | ||

Yeah, well, I have years of mock trial under my belt, and some mock trial coaching so it only seemed natural...I never thought it would actually be the answer!!! | ||
