Moot Court Blues--Episode 5

Ok, it is over. That is the best news. But my team lost. The judge decided for the defendant. How did that happen? We thought we had a good case. Our witness waffled a lot on the stand, which had a lot to do with it, I think. She kept answering crucial answers in different ways, which led to her losing credibility. But also the case was stacked against us. The teacher wanted us to lose, it appears. He said today, what do you do when you get bad facts? Um.... OK. But in the real world, we would have been able to supplement the facts and not argue a case on only half the facts. I guess he has a point. But it didn't feel good. I am sure that is how it feels in the real world.
