Students turn courtroom into classroom for Law Day exercise
SpongeBob SquarePants was in hot water Friday when he appeared in North Battleford provincial court to challenge a shoplifting charge.
The character, played by a student, was part of a class exercise for three Battlefords-area schools learning more about the judicial process.
The mock trial involved a case of theft for the cartoon character, who wasn’t aware the law required him to pay the accepted currency, or any currency for that matter, when he allegedly tried to take the Finding Dory DVD from Walmart last December without paying for it.
