2. Who are the major characters?
my answer Goldilocks and the Three Bears
3. What was the incident that will go to trial?
my answer The incident that will go to trial is Goldilocks trespassing into the bears' house, eating their food, sitting on their chairs, and sleeping in their beds without permission, causing damage to their property
4. Type of case - Civil or Criminal? Explain which and why
my answer The type of case in this scenario would be a civil case because Goldilocks did not commit a criminal offense such as theft or assault, but rather trespassed and caused damage to the bears' property without permission. This would fall under the category of civil law, which deals with disputes between individuals or organizations.
5. Evidence that the defense attorney will introduce, including witnesses
and exhibits.
my answer The defense attorney may introduce evidence such as witness testimony from Goldilocks herself, as well as character witnesses who can vouch for her good intentions. They may also introduce exhibits such as a written apology from Goldilocks, or receipts for the damages she caused that she has paid for. The defense may argue that although Goldilocks made a mistake, she did not intend to cause harm and has taken steps to make things right.
