The bailiff came out through the courtroom door and grabbed a woman's arm. She resisted it and tried to resist his grip until the bailiff tried to comfort her, "Shh... Ms. Brooks, they need your testimony."

She nodded. "I'm sorry, sir..." The bailiff shook his head and held the door open for her. She stumbled over to the witness stand and crossed her arms nervously. "So... Do you want to ask me something?"

As you can see, the trauma of the events was too much for her young mind! But she no doubt has a strong recollection of the events that night!

Ms. Brooks, take us back to that night, if you will.

Sable nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, I remember everything!
Testimony
[center]-:What happened:-[/marquee]
-I was staying at school late that night.

-I have a student who's failing... whatever I teach, so I told him I'd help him after his lacrosse practice.

-He came at 5:15, and he left at 5:45. I stayed around some more time to finish grading some tests when I heard a bloodcurdling scream!

-I jumped up and ran to the room the scream came from. The sight was horrible!

Sable stood there, biting her lip.

Well, now's really not the time to be thinking about that is it? Now then, judge. Get to opening this Cross Examination, so we can get this over with.

((Except the judge hasn't been on in about two weeks... I may have to re-open his role... But am I being too impatient?))

Lydia jumped back some from the loudness of the 'Hold it!' She sat thinking to herself. "It would help to know what had happened..." she sighed and then relaxed listening intently in hope of finding something wrong with this testimony.

Objection

Ms. Brooks...are you SURE you saw the scene of the crime? Maybe you came upon another murder that night, since in our crimes, the murder weapon was not a gun...

*deskslam* BUT A KNIFE!!

*point* Explain yourself, Ms. Brooks!

Hmmm... *Taps Chin*

La-la-la... (That's not what she told me...)

*Knocks on desk*

Of course... 'Scuse me? Defense? Just a second.

*begins to draw on a small notepad*

Tell me, defense. What is this man holding in his right hand?
Image

You can't tell from that angle can you?

Now, possibility number two: The weapon in question is retractable. For all she knew, he could've had a gun. She never went near the defendant, not near enough to tell anyway.

((Seriously, the gun thing was an accident. The real contradiction lies elsewhere. Sorry I didn't catch it in time. Sadshoe ))

So you heard the scream at 5:56 PM? I wonder how that was possible...seeing as the victim died at SIX!

"Wuh-wuh-wuh-WHAAAAT!?" Hughes exclaimed as he reeled back in shock, hitting his head on the stands behind him.

"Argh... Care to explain, Miss Brooks?"

"But... no! No no! You're confusing me! 7:00 tomorrow morning, in my office, young man!"

Sable closed her eyes. "Listen... I can explain! I... Okay...

~I heard two screams


-I did hear a scream at 5:55!

-I just assumed it was nothing, though...

-I heard another scream at 6:00.

-At that time, I ran to the classroom.

-A few second later, Mr. Slateman came in and held Bryce down.

-Is that enough information for you now?"

:Objection:

Think about it! One scream happens, you assume it's just melodrama. Two screams, and you start to wonder just what's going on, and if it is high school melodrama, you just want it to be quiet.

You go outside the room to tell them to kindly shut up, and what do you see?

*holds out hands*

Crime scene.

"Hey, Mr. Defense Man," Brooks say, "listen. Iit's not like I study screams or anything, although my colleague does have a Masters in Screamiology. But, anyway, it was distracting--that's all there is to it..."

Sable Brooks makes a face of deep thought. "Actually... there was something. The first scream was normal, you could say, but the second one... it was cut off, really strangely, like... like whoever it was didn't have enough breath to finish screaming."

((You just sit tight, buddy. I'm gonna take another page out of Anders' book and play witness until Madfoot gets back. The witness will be designated by black font. All I need you to do is be here, Waffles.))

"I was just sort of standing there. I was frozen with fear, I didn't know what to do. Bryce, the defendant, was standing there looking shocked and Ms. Sharp's body was laying still, covered in blood. After I got there, Mr. Slatemann just sort of... showed up really fast, so I wasn't standing there long."

Hughes stood still staring at the witness listening intently.

"We don't know what he was shocked about," Hughes said. "He could've been shocked that he got the victim's blood on him, or that a witness showed up so soon. Plus, let's not forget that the weapon was on his person the entire time."
