It was a dramatic day in court for the grade 8 Civics class at Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee. Their country Atlantis was suing their former President Kyle for the attempted robbery of government funds.
The Ex-President Kyle was accused of trying to hack into the account in order to take government money as revenge for being impeached the year before. Kyle claimed, however, that there was no evidence. Unfortunately, for Kyle, the Prosecuting team had four witnesses that saw him try to hack the account.
End Result: Kyle was found guilty and owed the Government $1500 and the prosecuting team $200.
But was that punishment fair? Citizens of Atlantis did not believe it was:
Vance: “I think that Kyle should have been in jail for a season…Kyle was trying to ruin the government and make the nation weaker. Kyle needs to be kicked out of Atlantis.”
Marissa: “I think that Kyle should have gotten sentenced to more time, and that he should have had a greater fine. If he doesn’t get jail time, then he might try to steal the government’s money again.”
And Kyle’s reaction to the sentence :
Kyle: “Uhhum. if u look at the Government standings I am still president sorry for getting into my own account. And never really getting into it. Yea, sue me for typing. woops! forgot that it was a crime to type.”
Now Atlantis is moving on to its third President in a year, and Kyle remains a poor- but jail-free man.
