hi people! It has been a busy and ultimatley tiring week and also the week, I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks so, has gone quickly. Updates: hmm.. I have got a new case for the mock trials, and that will be in about six weeks when I am going to coventry to defend either the case I have already done or the new case, so in the week leading up to that, I doubt very very very much I will be writing here. But until then, the crazy confused ramblings of Sam, are here to stay! The case, is about a vehicle theft, and I am defending. This is a fairly balanced case, unlike the Jack Johnson case, which was tilted in a slightly favourable manor, towards the defence winning the case. There are strong points for each argument. In every case I defend, even if the evidence is telling me the absolute opposite, I beleive that my client is innocent, and even if as an un-biased person I would condemn as guilty, I still get stuck into a biased mind frame. So I want to ask you all (wow, onto questions already) What you think, and why, if the person is guilty or not; I won't give you the entire details, just the likley arguments to be put forward by defence and then prosecution:
The owner of the car, and the owner's friend are the people claiming they saw the defendant in the car driving. They have admitted they only saw the back of the driver's head. The lighting was poor and there are endless amount of factors suggesting that an accurate identification was almost impossible to make. Therefore, the I will be arguing that in The defendants case.
The prosecution, I presume, will be enquiring into the following; The fact that the defendant had the car keys in his pocket when he was arrested, the fact he ran away from the car when he collected the keys. He has said that he knew the owner of the car (from the number-plate, which was personalised.) to which there is no dispute, and he wished to return the car key's to the owner (even after it was crashed??). Then he ran because he was feeling ill and he wanted to get home (which his friends have agreed, he was feeling ill, without collaborating. Also he was sick in the police car).
Do you think he's guilty? Onto your questions (yay, I can stop with all that fancy writing)
Blood donar? Yes. Do I need go any further (Damn! I had to stop myself from saying 'elaborate' instead of 'go any further', 'restrain' instead of stop and 'as oppose to' instead of 'instead'. Scince this lawyer thing, my head has litterally become a theasorus. STOP BRAIN, I COMMAND YOU!) Anyway, yes. yes. and yes, If it means they give me biscuits at the end then sign me up. I suppose the prosepect of perhaps helping someone is a plus, too.
What is my favorite thing to purchase? Books. books, books and more books. Ok, this time I will go further, otherwise I will have gotten by my entire article by just giving a one word answer over and over again.
I think I've already asked a question, but I just want some feedback: We need to start looking for some other people to fill in the massive gaps in our blog.. anybody?? We need to get together at some point and talk, provided that stickam isn't the un-reliable.. thing it is, and that messenger doesn't do that stupid thing which means Chris Emma and I can't all be in the same conversation without it breaking.
Boi!

Satisfaction
That’s what I gonna feel when this week is over.
So the last week was much more eventful then the weeks before. Or eventful, I did more different stuff at least. The beginning of the week was school and gym classes as usual but last Wednesday I moved home to my sisters apartment to take care of her cats while she was away visiting her grandmother. I realized one thing when I lived there and that is the fact that I’ll probably fail at making food for myself when I move out. I love cooking but it’s no fun when it’s just for me and I’m a bit lazy too.
Now I’m home at my place again and yesterday my phone decided to crash on me. Right now it’s working again (knock on wood) so hopefully it’ll all work out. I’ve also managed to get another cold. My body seems to know when it’s the worst time to get sick and then it strikes.
Let’s move on to the questions.
Last week I let you watch a song and say what you thought of it, even though Chris was the only one doing it. The reason I did that was because that is an acoustic version of a song that I like but I can’t decide which I like the most. Here’s the original.
Chris wanted to know what culture or ethnicity we would like to be re-born into if it was possible and we got to choose ourselves. I think I would like to be born in a Mediterranean country and get the opportunity to live in that culture. I just get the feeling that they have a more peaceful way and really strong family connections.
Sam wanted to know what the stupidest thing we’ve seen this week is. The stupidest thing I’ve seen must have been the guy at the mall that was talking with a friend on his phone and after like five minutes, still talking on the phone, he started to look through his pocket and then proceeded to tell his friend on the phone that he thought he had lost his phone. I mean how stupid can you be?
So I’ve been thinking about signing up to become a blood donor so my question for this week is if that is something you could see yourself doing?
