Students impress judge during mock trial
Hon. Robin K. Sheares has presided over many trials in her career, but Wednesday’s trial, which involved students from the Kings County Courts Student Employment and Internship Program, was perhaps one of the most impressive she’s ever seen.
“I think they did a marvelous job,” Sheares said after the mock trial, which involved nearly two dozen students. “I was very impressed. I’ve been doing this for years and years and by far this was the best. Everyone was prepared, we had a witness who was kind of hostile, but they stuck to their guns. It was excellent. I cannot even think of one thing that was not right.”
