The judge needs your help to decide

Dear Readers,

Please act as the jury and help me decide the verdict of Alexander T. Wolf.  Read the evidence presented below, and answer the survey question to the right to indicate Wolf's guilt or innocence.

Thank you,

Mr. V


Prosecution:

  • The wolf is guilty because instead of calling the ambulance, the wolf ate the two pigs.  The third pig was rude to the wolf.  The wolf got mad and blew the house down, but it did not fall.  I declare the wolf guilty.
  • When the wolf tried to blow the third little pig’s house down, the police were taking pictures, and the wolf went to jail. 
  • When the wolf blew the house down, the pig was in the ground, and the wolf should’ve pulled the pig up to check if he was alive.
  • The wolf should’ve walked away.


Defense:

  • Welcome Judge.  I want to present that Wolf is not guilty because he was sick and had a cold.  I present to you Perla.
  • Thank you Noelia.  Wolf is not guilty because he was just baking a cake for his grandma.  He was so sick that he was sneezing a lot, and he couldn’t hold his sneezes.  Now Marielys.
  • Wolf is not guilty because why would he leave the pig.  He might as well just eat it.
  • The wolf got mad at the third pig because he was being really mean and talking bad about his granny.  He got mad and started sneezing.
  • And that’s why Wolf is not guilty.  That’s all we need to say.

  1. The Defense's argument has changed my perspective on the wolf. NOT Guilty

  3. Well both side presented very convincing arguments. But the wolf had no right to hurt the pig just because the pig was being really mean and talking bad about his granny. GUILTY

  4. Sneezing is an involuntary action. The wolf is probably allergic to pigs talking bad about his Granny. NOT GUILTY!!!!
