Because I work with VICTIMS on the job, I have stayed out of the battle of the sexes on the DU. Perhaps this post will tell everybody where I am on the issue.

On Tuesday, UCF Victim Services will host its first ever mock sexual assault trial.

The mock trial will be held in the Pegasus Ballroom in the Student Union at 3 p.m. The trial itself will run for about an hour and a half, but a panel for discussion will take place afterward.

A jury will consist of ten to 12 people who will be randomly chosen from the audience; they will sit away from the crowd during the event, and will hand down a judgment at the end of the trial.

However, selected jurors won't be the only ones participating, audience members will be engaged as well.

1. Rough, SA trials are always tough.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.
