ROLE PLAY Gregory and Slug

Gregory has gone to the police and had Slug charged with assault. Slug claims that Gregory started it, has gone to the legal aid clinic, and has filed a defense. The court has a new pre-trial program that has been recommended to, and accepted by both parties.

Gregory and Slug have know each other for most of their lives, and attended Alligator River Consolidated High School together. They come from different social backgrounds and have never gotten along.

Gregory lives in Alligator Heights, and his father owns the Alligator River Purse & Belt Company, which is a major employer in Alligatortown.

Gregory	Slug
You punched my face out and I’m going to make sure you rot in jail.	Hey man, you started it. I was just coming over To tell you what a creep you are...so I just Finished it.
What is it to you...?	You showed no understanding of Abigail...
You’ve hated me for years...	You stole my girlfriend in high school...
Why don’t you get a job instead of being on welfare? (Fear of intimidation)	Your a rich snob, you didn’t have to work... (Being tough as a cover for being unemployed)

There is very little possibility that Slug will go to jail. If he has a police record, getting a job would be difficult. There is no doubt that Greg was beaten up, there is some doubt as to whether he was as innocent as he claims... Greg is a major anonymous contributor to the Alligatortown Public Health Clinic. His father wonders where he spends his money. Greg really doesn't want him to know.
