Okay, I bet most of you dunno wad Law Olympiad is.
It was held in Tsung Tsin Secondary Sch
hosted by HELP UNIVERSITY LAW DEPARTMENT.
Yeapp, same as HELP DEBATE. Hehe.
WE got the exact same file as souvenir. luls. bummer.
Well, here's a brief intro la.
The competition is divided into 5 games.
Each games have allocated marks and limited time.
So team work is very important.

1st Game = Whodunnit?
In this game, 1 team will be given 3 mystery cases to be solved.
And the allocated time is 30 mins, 30 marks in all.
Here, we have to play cop and catch the culprit of the crime case.

Our 1st case was : The Murder of a Writer in Rio.
[I think , Pilak n Paper Collector worked on this]
They got it correct~! Thumbs up! hehe =P

2nd case: The Chloroformed Murder
I worked on this alone. Hehe.
Interesting case rly..
I'll just roughly tell you wad its abt.
Or better, lets see if u can solve it. ^^

Mr David Souza, the victim, was hauled out of a pool.
After postmortem, it was said that chloroform was found on his face and in his lungs.
Traces of chloroform was also found on the flr of the changing room.
Inspector Walker summoned all 3 suspects who were on the property ground when the crime was committed--- The wife(Louisa), The gardener(Walter), His ex business partner(Frederick Egen) to sit in the long bench beside the pool.

Inspector Walker: " This death is not accidental. Mr Souza died at about midnight last night, please rectify ur whereabouts and ur doings.. Mrs Louisa Souza?"

Louisa: "David normally goes for midnight swims every night."

Inspector Walker: " Didnt you realise of ur husband nt returning?"

Louisa: "We slp in separate rooms... I was watching tv in bed and slpt at around half past midnight."

Walker: "Louisa Millington. U're the famous jockey rite? What caused you to retire?"

Louisa: " I have a permanent knee injury and retired from the tracks, soon after that I married David."

Walker: " So he's a lot older then you I suppose?"

Louisa: " Yeah, thirty years older."

*Inspector turns to gardener, a built man who has a left arm sling*
Walker: "And you?"

Gardener: "At abt midnight, I was abt to slp, when I heard the radio in the changing room play. It was Mr Souza, he has a habit of turning the radio on when he's inside changing. After that I slpt and din hear anything else."

Walker: " How can u hear the radio? U heard nth else? No Splash, No scream, No struggle?"

Gardener: " Well, my room is at the back of the house and I din close my windows. And the booth aint sound proof either. No, I din hear anything else. I slpt good. and it help my wrist heal."

*Walker turns to Egen*
Egen: " Well, thr's nth much for me to say. I was in my room in the front part of the hse. I was reading and slpt at around a quater past midnight. I heard nth at all."

Walker:"I believe u're here for a weekend vacation?"

Egen: "Yeah, David and I use to play football in college and we have been partners for abt 20 years."

Walker: " Did your partnership end amiably?"

Egen: "No.It ended years ago."

*Walker suddenly turns towards Walter[gardener]*
Walker: " Do you expect an inheritance from Mr Souza?"

Walter flushed angrily. "I dont noe! I've been working for him for more than 10 years, so maybe..."

Walker: " Arent you losing in your tracks?"

Walter: " NONE OF UR BUSINESS"

Walker:" MURDER is my business!!" He snapped.

Walter: "I've lost abt 600..."

Walker: "Tat's more like it. So now, all of you can go back into the house.."

Detective Stanwick: " Wad a bag of suspects.."

Walker cracked half a smile and said, " You suspecting what I'm suspecting?"

So the question is:
Who does Walker suspects and why?

Suspect-- 4 marks.
Reasons-- 6 marks. 2 marks each.

So who do u think done it??

Well, my answer is this:

Culprit: WALTER MACLEOD

Reasons:
1) He was a built man and will be able to take down Mr Souza easily and with the help of chloroform is able to make the whole scene silent. About his injured arm, it was a lied. Tis can be proven in his statement, " for my wrist to heal." An injured wrist nid nt an arm sling.

2) He knew exactly where and when Mr Souza was. For he heard the radio, indicating that Mr Souza was at the changing booth.

3) He had a motive. He was expecting an inheritance from Mr Souza. He flushed angrily when he was asked of tat question by Inspector Walker. Not only that, he later did admit tat he was expecting the inheritance. Not only that, he also said tat he was losing in the tracks(betting horses). So on the whole, he needed money.

Well, sad to say, but I was wrong!
OMG. BUMMER MAX.
I got so disappointed n sadd, I spaced out during the 2nd n 3rd game briefing. zzZzz..

The judges answers are as follows:

Culprit: Frederick Egen

Reasons:
1) Louisa Millington. Obviously being a jockey is petite in size. and she has a permanent knee injury. Therefore, she is not capable of taking down a built man like David Souza.
[So that cancels her out of the suspect list? So dun get the freaks on the judge panel ]

2) Walter MacLeod. He had an injured arm so therefore eventhough he is also a built man, he is incapable of taking down David Souza.
[So that cancels him out of the suspect list also?]

3) He's the only suspect left?! Tat makes him the murderer?!

p/s: Hope not wrong facts. Cz I was half listening half spacing out. Couldn't accept I was wrong I guess? =OO

Anyways, I still think its Walter all the way. Since I have more of SOLID FACTS to support my choice of culprit unlike some ppl.... F3F3!!

Hm, y dont you judges have a seat at my table and I sit at urs? ^^
LOL.

Anyways~ TO THE NEXT GAME.

Game 3: What's your verdict?
In this game, we have to play judge.
We are given 2 cases to work on, and we have to predict the judge's decision,
on whether the case is liable or the accused is guilty then give reasons for ur answer.
The decision holds 1 mark.
The reasons hold 9 marks. 3 marks each.
Game time= 20 mins.

The 1st case, I totally have no idea. LOL. Forgot to ask Gheyylord, Pilak & Paper Collector.
The 2nd case, I worked with Hamster.
It was a confusing one man! Well, nt so, I confused her. LOL.
Dunno wad I was thinking.
Soh helped quite a lot.
Haha.. No offense, sorry for underestimating u. LOL.
He could be nice and okayy whn he's serious.
HE ACTUALLY SAY THINGS SENSIBLY.

Okay, mayb nt so. LOL.
Well, its lk tis, our case, yeah we needed help but then... Hamster wanted to let him read.
Automatically I said NO. luls. Serious. Cz he's those.. u noe... ==" agrhh.
But let him anyways. =="

Anyways,
The case is something like this:

John and Susan are living together and have a compensable 2 years relationship. But for the past 3 months, Susan had been having frequent mood swings and is always throwing tantrums at John and this has gotten into his nerves. One day, Susan brutally attacked John, accusing him of having a secret relationship with her close friend, Anna. She also vowed to take revenge. John tried to calm her down and somehow they got into sexual intercourse. [SO SPEECHLESS WHN I READ IT, same goes to Hamster.] When John tried to tell Susan how serious and sincere he is in their relationship, the scene turned to a naught and John left Susan that night.

A few days later, John was charged with a rape offense towards Susan. He explained to the judge that they did indeed have sexual intercourse but it was consensual. Not only that, Susan have been seeing a shrink for the past one year and had been on lithium for the past 6 months of that year, which he just found out 2 days after leaving Susan.

So what is your verdict?
Provide reasons to support ur answer.

--*Flashback*--
"She also vowed to take revenge. John tried to calm her down and somehow they got into sexual intercourse." [SO SPEECHLESS WHN I READ IT, same goes to Hamster.]
Rmb I said abt saying NO to Soh whn he wanted to read it? Yeahh, it becz of the abv sentence.
He would go high. LOL. Something lk tat la.

Hamster: " U'll go speechless"
Banana: " No he wont. He'll go WHAO! AWESOME"
Gheyylord: "WHAO!! AWESOME. SEXUAL INTERCOURSE."

ZZzzzzz!! Exactly y.... =="
--*end of flashback*--

Anyways:
Our answer:
John is not guilty.

Reason:
1)Susan was having frequent mood swings and throws tantrums. She has also been seeing a shrink and is on lithium for the past 6 months and tat proves that she has mental problems.

2) She had a motive against John for she vowed to take revenge when she accused him of having a secret relationship with Anna.

3) The sexual intercourse was consensual. Therefore, it is not a rape case.

Woo! Applause every1!
For this section, we got 19 outta 20!!
WE RAWKKK!!! WOOO!!
xDDDD
SUPER THUMBS UP! xDD

Game 4: Best Alibi/ Best Plea
For this game, 2 cases will be given.
One for the alibi, the other for the plea.

Alibi basically means: argument by an accused person alleging that at the supposed time of the commission of the offence he was elsewhre and he has someone or some evidence to prove that fact.

Plea
on the other hand: a defence meaning a reason or a justification put forth by an accused or his counsel as to why he cannot be found guilty of the offence with which he has been charged.

The girls worked on the alibi.
The guys on the plea.
According to Soh, they are quite okayy. so far so good those kind,
I THINK.

Hah.. We on the other hand. Were in lava pits.
SHOOT. All our alibi and reasons were so freaking UNSTABLE.
NT SOLID AT ALL.
GAHH!! *PULL MY HAIR* *SLAP MYSELF*

We are required to list out 3 reasons to support the motion and 3 objections to oppose the motion.
