The Jury: Readers
Who was the guilty party in this tragic event?
Was it Mabel, the cat who could not stray from her natural reflexes to pounce on Mr. Mouse as he moved in front of her? Or did she get off scott-free?
Was Mr. Mouse in the wrong for daring to travel in a NO-MOUSE zone due to inhabitations of viscious mouse-murderers?
Did Kevin err too soon in the trial, sentencing, and execution of Mr. Mouse? Or should the household catch-and-release policy (most often exercised by Mabel and Monet who catch prey and release it inside the house) have been upheld?
Should Angie have avoided texting for help, and so saved the life, at least temporarily, of Mr. Mouse?
You be the jury.
Guilty or Not Guilty?
