Please Help! So Confused!?

Show how Correspondence theorists, Coherence theorists, and Pragmatists all address the issue of how we know truth. First, define each theory briefly. Then imagine that the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney (Lamont P. Eveready) from the mock trial are trying the case of Tajomaru in Akutagawa's story "In a Grove" Based on the theory of truth that each believes in, what would the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney EACH likely say regarding Tajomaru's guilt or innocence? Consider both the physical evidence left behind at the scene and found on Tajomaru and the testimonies (some, perhaps, prejudiced and/or contradictory) of all concerned.
