My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC
Alright this is kinda different than usual but I have a mock trial I am supposed to take part in tomorrow. We haven't learned anything but the professor is trying to test out the waters by throwing us in the deep end? Regardless of whether or not you agree with their method of "teaching" I do want to learn how to defend this guy in a court of law so I have the details of the case, witness statements and the defendant statement. I'm the Defense Attorney.
The information is provided below. Now note, I am not trying someone to write up the case and win it for me, I am in need of someone to explain the basic premise of the laws behind the criminal case. As the defense attorney I am trying to get my defendant off the hook for the alleged crime..
My guy is the defendant Robert Nichols.
Here is what I have so far:
- I've decided to try to paint the "driver" Manny as the actual criminal and my defendant as an unassuming guy who was taken advantage of at the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm just trying to see if I have a case to get my guy off the hook and how would I do so. I know this is rather outside your guys' norm but I would appreciate any help?
- The Police witness seems to be their key witness since she's in an expert role? How would I discredit an authority figure?
- There is inconsistencies in the car owners statement? He mentions a flashlight and seeing the men but claims later he can't see the color of the suspect's clothes?
I have pictures of all the witness statements including my defendants but I don't know how to put them in a spoiler and rather not flood the thread with two large pictures. Please let me know how to make a spoiler?

Again, i would appreciate any help and am interested in learning about this case.
