I'm sorry, but as an AI, I don't have access to specific trial information or stories. However, I can provide you with a general framework for answering these questions.
1. Identifying the children's story or fairy tale: To determine the name of the children's story or fairy tale upon which the trial will be based, one option is to think about popular stories that involve conflicts or incidents that could be subjected to a trial. Examples could include "The Three Little Pigs" (with the incident being the destruction of the pigs' houses by the wolf) or "Cinderella" (with the incident being Cinderella's treatment by her stepmother and stepsisters).
2. Major characters: You can refer to the characters involved in the chosen story. For "The Three Little Pigs," the major characters would include the three pigs, the wolf, and potentially other characters like the mother pig. For "Cinderella," the major characters would include Cinderella, her stepmother, stepsisters, the fairy godmother, and the prince.
3. Incident that will go to trial: In the context of the chosen story, you would need to identify a specific incident that could be subjected to a trial. For example, in "The Three Little Pigs," the incident could be the destruction of the pigs' houses and the accusation against the wolf for causing the harm. In "Cinderella," the incident could be Cinderella's mistreatment or the false accusation from her stepmother or stepsisters.
4. Type of case - Civil or Criminal: To determine whether the case would be civil or criminal, you need to analyze the nature of the incident and the potential violation of laws or rights. If the incident involves harm or injury caused by one party against another, it could be considered a criminal case. If the incident involves a dispute over property, contracts, or rights, it could be considered a civil case. Based on the chosen story and incident, you can make a determination and explain your reasoning using legal concepts and principles.
5. Evidence and witnesses: The defense attorney would introduce evidence and witnesses to support their case. In this fictional scenario, you can think about various elements from the story that could serve as evidence. For example, in "The Three Little Pigs," the defense attorney might introduce the remains of the destroyed houses as evidence and call witnesses such as the pigs and the wolf to testify.
6. Jury's verdict: You would need to decide how the jury finds in the civil or criminal case based on the evidence and arguments presented during the trial. To justify the verdict, you can analyze whether the burden of proof was met or not. In a criminal case, the burden of proof is usually "beyond a reasonable doubt," meaning the evidence presented must be convincing enough to leave no reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt. In a civil case, the burden of proof is typically "preponderance of evidence," meaning the evidence must show that it is more likely than not that the defendant is responsible for the incident. Taking into account the nature of the case and the available evidence, you can explain how the jury reached their verdict and how the burden of proof was met (or not met).
Remember, these answers are based on a fictional scenario and should be adapted to suit the specific story or case being considered.
