So I went into mock trial thinking the kids would find the defendant guilty, hands down. Boy was I wrong!! First vote of the jury only one believed the defendant was guilty, all the rest not guilty! You know what...they were right. They completely changed my mind because of the way the statute was worded- and the seventh graders picked up on it. These kids were great, they had fun and did a great job.
Many thanks to Texas Municipal Courts Education Center, The State Bar of Texas and Texas Department of Transportation for the grants that make the Driving on the Right Side of the Road curriculum possible. It is so important that we reach our youth with the message of being good, safe citizens, stay safe everyone!
