The Grinch, a notorious Christmas villain known for his meanness, was put on trial for domestic terrorism against the people of Whoville. The prosecuting attorney accused the Grinch of being vindictive and spiteful, while the defense maintained that he was a sympathetic character. It was emphasized that the Grinch had a lonely childhood, causing his anger, which was furthered by his lack of knowledge on how to properly celebrate Christmas. After deliberation, the Jury empathized with the Grinch and decided he was, in fact, not guilty. Upon questioning court members on the trial, opinions varied: one citizen is cited as saying the “prosecution sold” in accusing the Grinch, while others shared sympathy for the Grinch, saying, “He’s not a mean man, just bullied,” and that justice was served correctly. The courts at Boys State give an opportunity to explore law and make controversial decisions.
