Every year a mock trial is put on by the victims resource center of Wilkes Barre to simulate a case concerning rape. With participants ranging from students to faculty to members of the Luzerne County Courthouse, the event made students aware of how serious the subject of rape is and how it is handled by the U.S. justice system. WRKC’s Michael Palmer has the story.
