Garrett Hughes casually entered the courtroom carrying his briefcase full of all the information he felt he needed for the trial. He loudly dropped the case onto his desk and took off his coat. After neatly folding it and placing it next to him on the floor, he began to look over the empty courtroom.

"First one here again," he muttered to himself. "Wonder why that is..." He opened the briefcase and began to look over the evidence list.

Vincent came up to the defense bench, glaring at Hughes. "Good morning..."

"Thank you your honor," Hughes began. "Yesterday, we were left with the question of the footprint very near the window. We determined that it could only have been made on the day of the incident in question. But that's just it... It could have been made any time of the day. It isn't important as long as we have a witness who saw the murder take place. As such, the prosecution would like to call its next witness to the stand. A person who saw the actual murder took place and prove once and for all what happened! The prosecution calls Morty Lipman to the stand!"

"Witness," Hughes began, "you claim to have seen the murder take place. Could you please testify before the court as to what you saw that evening?"

Witness Testimony- I saw it happen!

"I was cleaning the halls when I heard a scream

some kid had pissed all over himself, and it needed off before another kid slipped on it, like you know they would.

So I looked through the glass of the door and saw that defendant there holding the weapon.

after a little bit, the man stabbed the weapon into the victim!

That's pretty much it. Clearer than a crystal mop's bristles."

You saw the defendant stab the victim? Well, that's funny, since the autopsy report here says the voctim died of a SLIT THROAT!

There was some commotion in the crowd. Not due to the evidence, someone was moving among them. It was Noah. "Scuse me... pardon... sorry... gotta get through here..." He jumped down once he got near the defense's box and landed head-first beside Vincent. He stood up, brushed himself off, and stood there like nothing happened. He then leaned over towards Vincent and whispered "What'd I miss?"

Vincent stared at his new assistant and put his face in his hand. "You must be the new aide. You didn't miss much. The janitor says he's got a video that shows the defendant stabbing the victim in the arm, even though her throat was slit. Have you read through the court record yet?"

"Yeah. Twice. On the way here. That's why I was late. I got in a car crash." He was somehow not embarrassed by all this. "But I spilled some coffe on part of it. What time was the victim murdered? And what's the second vowel in the defendant's last name?"

"OK, thanks." He scribbled some things down and somehow reached for some coffee under the desk. "Where'd this come from?"

((It's from :javado: when he used to be there. He once had a coffee machine that he kept under the desk. He forgot to bring it with him when he left so the coffee machine stayed with the desk. No one knows how or even if the coffee Noah drank was fresh, but he was a coffee nut so he swigged it down. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it, lol.))

Hughes shook his head. "Fine..." he said finally. "Somebody get me a VCR and a TV!" Hughes waited until the necessary equipment was brought to him. "Alright... Members of the court, please pay close attention to this security tape. It contains the true events of that night!" Hughes put the tape in the VCR, pressed play and stepped back to let everyone watch it.
~~~~~~~~~~

The tape opens with Bryce drawing the weapon and assuming a ready stance. The quality on the video is pretty bad, but it is appearant that Bryce is angry about something. There is no audio, but it looks like Bryce is yelling at somebody. The angle of the camera is very inconvenient, as only Bryce and the front of the classroom can be seen.

Suddenly, Bryce stabs the weapon toward the off-camera area, but nothing happens. As Bryce stands at ready for a little while longer, his coat flutters a little due to a slight breeze. Finally, Bryce slices the weapon and steps back quickly as blood sprays onto his coat and the surrounding area. He is seen shouting something as the tape cuts off.


"... Huh..." Hughes said stopping the tape. "Well there you go. Defense? Your thoughts?"

(That tape... the whole thing seemed a little... too perfect.... Well, maybe it's just my imagination.)

"Well, besides the obvious fact you can't see if that's the victim, no." He thought for a moment. "...He could just be really mad and is stabbing the drinking fountain! I try to hurt inanimate objects sometimes when I'm angry."

"I doubt a drinking fountain would bleed...I'd better go with what I have.."

:holdit:

"If he stabbed the victim in the arm, why is there no blood on him until he delivers the killing slice?"

Because a slice in the throat-- and you may be vaguely familiar with this fact-- bleeds considerably more than a stab in the arm.

Well, then obviously, he just missed his intended target with the stab. Now, are you quite done? Or is there actually some legitimate reason for you to be objecting to the video?

(Dammit... The video just makes me feel way too uncomfortable... It's only been a year, but...)

The witness was clearly mistaken. He probably saw the stabbing motion and assumed that somebody got stabbed. He looked away and then saw the bloody mess and assumed that's how it happened.

Yeah, well I lose!!! That means you win!!!

The principal did it, and the janitor helped!!!

Judge! Verdict! Not Guilty!

*throws papers in the air*

WHEEEEEEEEE! (Puts on coat and runs away)

((Yeah, I'm ending the trial. I just don't have time to try to manage it or think about it anymore. Had other things not come up, I have no doubt that this trial would have come to a natural end with the desired end result... But is that mostly because I made this trial semi-easy?... Well... It was fun while it lasted, and I mean that. You all did a great job on this. Stuff got done and we sure had fun doing it!

From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!!!))
