Agenda Item: State of Missouri v. Gypsy Rose Blanchard &
Nicholas Godejohn
Step into the courtroom where justice hangs in the balance
and every word matters. The Missouri State Criminal Court is
not just a place of legal procedure—it is a battleground of
truth, motive, and consequence. This special committee will
examine one of the most harrowing and complex cases in
recent American criminal history: the trial of Gypsy Rose
Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn.
As attorneys, witnesses, and judges, delegates will explore
the murky intersection of abuse, manipulation, and murder.
Was it a cry for freedom, or a premeditated crime? You will
reconstruct testimonies, dissect evidence, and debate
morality under the sharp light of the law. Every choice in
this courtroom shapes the verdict, and the stakes are
nothing less than justice itself.
Will you uphold the rule of law—or redefine it? Court is
now in session.Study Guide
