The Martian government does not believe that the car Marty brought back is alive.
Marty must now stand trial for failing to perform his duties…and Mars has capital punishment!
Marty’s Quest

Brainstorm
Spend a minute or two brainstorming on your own.
How can we know if something is alive or not?

You will either be defending Marty – trying to prove that he made a reasonable mistake.
Or you will be prosecuting Marty – trying to prove that he should have known the car was not alive.

Before we begin, we must select a jury or our peers.
This must consist of an EQUAL number of persons from the defense and prosecution to assure a fair trial.
All jurors are responsible for taking notes throughout the trial. You will then consult with one another before determining Marty’s guilt or innocence. Your task is of the utmost importance, so please do not be a juror unless you are up to the task!
If you are interested in being a juror, please raise your hand.
