LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Students at two county high schools are preparing to square off once again in the Lake County Mock Trial.
The event will take place on Friday, Feb. 11, at the Lake County Courthouse in Lakeport.
This is the 10th annual event, which will see Upper Lake and Middletown once again competing for the honor of going to the 41st annual state competition in Los Angeles.
Dana Adams of the Lake County Office of Education said last year’s event was virtual and was hosted at the Napa courthouse.
This year it will return to the Lake County Courthouse in Lakeport.
The students will argue the fictional case of People v. Cobey, which is the trial of Jamie Cobey, a horticulturist living in the community of Burnsley, California, a semirural town in the high desert.
The case brief said Cobey is charged with the homicide of Cobey’s landlord and next-door neighbor, Erik Smith, with prosecutors alleging that Cobey placed a rattlesnake in Smith’s mailbox.
