Mercy Mock Trial Team Prepares for Competition Season

Mercy’s Mock Trial Team is hard at work preparing for this year’s Michigan High School Mock Trial Competition! This season’s fictional case, State of Michigan v. Devin Emerson, challenges students to examine evidence, evaluate witness credibility, and build compelling arguments for both the prosecution and defense in a complex case involving murder, robbery, and arson.

Through extensive research, case analysis, and courtroom preparation, team members are sharpening their critical thinking, public speaking, and advocacy skills while gaining valuable insight into the legal process.

Representing Mercy this season are Jasmine Abdelsayed, Asia Akins, Ayat Baluch, Madeline Barringer, Ella Cole, Hunter Corley, Cailin Harvill, Katie Hastings, Sade Kole-James, Eva Lapham, Giselle Pjetri, Sulvia Pontes, Joy Seabolt, and Elizabeth Stachelek, led by captains Ava Skrabut and Isabela Romero.

The team is coached by Mrs. Kreucher, Ms. Morgan Schut, and Mercy alumna Kayla Kilano.

We wish our talented Mock Trial Team a successful competition season as they put their preparation, teamwork, and courtroom skills to the test!
