The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf

Alyssa is so excited to be in SAGE this year. Her class had a Mock Trial. She was chosen to be the Baliff. Her cousin, Dylan was an attorney.... It was a great way for them to learn about the court system...

In the end the Bog Bad Wolf was found guilty of breaking and entering among tons of other charges...
