Oasis Students Get Civics Lesson

The Churchill County District Attorney's office offered a civic lesson to fourth grade students. Deputy District Attorney Chelsea Stanford posed the question, "Was Goldilocks (1) an innocent and curious young lass who accidentally stumbled into a precarious situation, or (2) a cunning criminal who knowingly and willingly broke numerous laws and then tried to cover it up?"

Fourth grade students were sworn in as the jury for this trial and  given the opportunity to hear both Ms. Goldilocks and the Bear family members' testimony while under oath. Then students were given jury instructions and asked to decide her fate. Both groups of 4th graders found Ms. Goldilocks guilty.
