By Alyssa Riccardi BRICK

– “Objection!” –was yelled throughout the courtroom in town hall as students from both Brick Township and Brick Memorial High Schools took the stand during their annual Mayor’s Cup mock trial. The event is a long-standing tradition in the town, and coincides with the Ocean

County Mock Trial Competition.

The two teams argued over a fictional criminal case that has real life facts. This year’s case was Dylan Salerno v Sam Arena: 17-year-old Rory Salerno died after participating in a social media challenge involving energy drinks.
