(Brad Davis/The Register-Herald) "Prosecuting attorneys" Kinsley Macin, left, and Nathan Ward consult with one another during a break in the cross examination of a witness during a mock trial with middle and high school-aged homeschoolers from the Appalachian Academy in Raleigh County Ciruit Court Monday afternoon. The students participated in a rehearsed, play-like trial in which they played the various roles of prosecuting attorneys, witnesses, defendants, lawyers and court clerks, with judgement being handed down by Judge Kirkpatrick at the end of the proceedings.
