Court Lobby
10:57 a.m. June 15th
Swift: So, Lou was not around when the killer attacked. That means bad news for us. Unless we can prove that he wasn't the one who killed the victim, He is no doubt going to be found guilty
Lilly: I thought this wouldn't go well. But, what about that new prosecutor everyone is talking about
Swift: You mean Marcus Mays? Well, I really don't know what to expect from him. We'll just have to see how it goes in court
Lou: Hey, guys. How did the investigation go?
Swift: Not to good. The prosecution got all the evidence before we could
Lou: Oh no
Swift: But don't worry. I'll do what I can to help
Lou: Oh, thanks, Swift... But... If it comes to where I am guilty... Could you tell Jessie that I'm sorry and I love her
Swift: ...Lou. "If" that happens, I will. But, I will make sure that doesn't happen. I'll make sure you two see each other again soon
Lou: ................ *Sniff* Oh Thank you, Sam
Swift: It's no problem... AND STOP CALLING ME SAM!!!
Courtroom No. 3
Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Lou Romanse
Swift: The defense is ready your honor
*..................*
Judge: Hmm. Well, it would appear that the prosecution is not here. A trial without a prosecutor can only mean one thing. There is nothing to prosecute against.
Lilly: Well, that was quick
Swift: Yeah *maybe a little too quick*
Judge: Well, I suppose I can deliver my verdict. And it couldn't come sooner. I was hoping of catching an episode of 'Steel Samurai'
Swift: *I never would have thought the Judge as a Steel Samurai fan*
Judge: I find the defendant, Lou Romanse...
???: OBJECTION!!!
Judge: !!!
Swift: !!!
Lilly: !!!
???: The prosecution is ready your honor
Judge: Who might you be
???: My name is Marcus Mays, prosecutor
Judge: ..... Thats all
Marcus: Yes. Why are you so surprised?
Judge: Well, most prosecutors just seem to brag about themselves
Marcus: I am no such prosecutor. I do not waste time on senseless dribble.
Judge: Well, Mr. Mays, would you mind taking off your sunglasses
Marcus: ..... The glasses stay on
Judge; But Mr. Mays, I am not sure that having your eyes covered in a court of law is-
*Whack*
Judge: OUCH!
Marcus: Like I said before, I do not waste time. If anyone stalls this trial, they shall feel the the sting of the Pain Cane
Judge: Pain Cane?
Swift: What kind of name for a cane is that
Lilly: Its so threatening... But really catchy
Marcus: ...You must be the defense
Swift: Yes. My name is Swift Justice
Marcus: Justice?
Swift: Yes. Is there a problem
Marcus: .....No. Now, may we start the trial
Judge: Very well. Mr. Mays. Please give your opening statement
Marcus: Gladly. It was around 11 and 11:30 when the victim was killed. The defendant came to the train station at around 11 a.m. The defendant had walked away from the scene and was gone for five minutes. That was when the victims, Mr. McBrew and Mr. Jepins then came to the scene and waited for their train to arrive. thats when the defendant attacked both of them. He even had a good motive to do so. Mr.McBrew took away half of the defendants bank account because he needed the money more
Judge: Hmm... So much for Steel Samurai
*Whack*
Judge: OW!!!
Marcus: Stop with this tomfoolery and call upon the first witness
Judge: Okay. Would the detective of this case please come to the stand
Swift: *I need to help Lou. If I mess up here, I don't think I can ever look myself in the mirror again*
Marcus: Detective. Please state your name and occupation
Marshall: The names Officer John Marshall, Homicide Detective. But you can call me-
*Whack*
Marshall: OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!
Marcus: I could care less about your nickname. Just tell us how you heard about the incident
Marshall: Okay, okay. No need to whack me with your cane. I was working in my office when one of the other officers walked in. He told me that there was a murder at the train station. We rushed toward the train station as fast as we could. Once we got there, we saw two guys on the ground. One dead and the other in pain. The poor guy was trying to reach the pay phone the entire time. I think that guy owes his life to the caller.
Judge: Hmm. Sounds like you were able to get there just in time to save the other victim
Marshall: Yeah, tell me about it. He was in real bad shape, and he groaned in pain a lot. I thought he would-
*Whack* *Whack*
Judge: OW!
Marshall: OW!
Marcus: Enough of your constant words. I have told you before. I do not like to waste time. I wish to bring justice as soon as possible
Swift: *This guy IS scary*
Marcus: ...
Swift: ... *Why is he staring at me*
Marcus: I've noticed you've done nothing to stop these two morons conversation
Judge: Moron!?
Marshall: Who you calling a moron, tough guy
Marcus: Speaking is one thing. But not speaking to stall the truth as much...
*Whack Whack Whack*
Swift: OW! OW! OW!!! *Why did I get hit three times*
Marcus: Speaking like a moron deserves a hit. But standing like an even bigger idiot deserves more hits from the cane
Judge: Well, Mr. Justice. would you please begin you cross-examination
Swift: Yes your honor
Marshall: I was working in my office when one of the other officers walked in
Swift: HOLD IT! Which officer
*Whack Whack Whack*
Swift: OUCH! What did I do. I asked him a question
Marcus: No. You asked him a VERY DUMB question.
Swift: But you only hit people three times when they don't say anything
Marcus: Your right, I don't
Swift: Well, why did you hit me
Marcus: Isn't it obvious. I don't like you
Lilly: Tough break, Swift
Marshall: He told me there was a murder at the train station
Swift: How did he know
*Whack Whack Whack*
Swift: OW!
Marcus: What a stupid question. You should know that there are phones all over the police station. Honestly, how, or better yet, WHY were you ever able to become a defense attorney
Swift: *I really don't want to get hit again. But there is something about what Marshall said that I could question* Mr. Marshall, what time was it when you got the call
Marshall: At around 10:50
Swift: 10:50?
Judge: Is there something odd about this, Mr. Justice
Swift: Well... *This could be it, Swift. Its just what I need to get this case rolling along* Yes your honor. The defense asks that this be added to the testimony
Judge: Very well. Detective, please add what you said to the testimony
Marshall: Sure thing, Judge. He told me that the call was made at 10:50
Swift: OBJECTION! What you said just now doesn't fit with the evidence
Marshall: It... doesn't
Marcus: *Swing* And what would that be. And it better be good. Otherwise...
Swift: Well, Mr. Marshall said that the call was made at 10:50, right
Judge: Yes, I do believe that's true
Swift: Exactly. Now, look at this photo
Marcus: ...Are you begging for cane marks all over your body. What is this. It's just a photo of the defendant and some girl
Lou: That isn't some girl. That's my Jessie, you jerk
Judge: Mr. Romanse. SIT DOWN! Now, Mr. Justice. Continue
Swift: Well, if you look at the bottom right corner of the photo, it says it was taken at 11:00. Right before the murder took place
Marcus: So what if... Ah!
Swift: I see you know what I'm getting at. If this was taken at 11:00 before the murder... HOW COULD THERE BE A CALL ABOUT THE MURDER TEN MINUTES EARLIER!!!
Marshall: Y-Your so right
Judge: The defense does make a valid point, but why was there a call before the murder
Swift: Isn't it obvious. The killer planned to kill the victims before they did it
Marcus: Well, yes. But, how can you prove that proves nothing. It does not explain how the defendant is innocent. If anything, I'd say it proved his guilt even more. Besides, I have here, proof that he was near the victim when he died
Swift: What
Marcus: I have here a letter with Mr. McBrew's name on it. I suggest you read it, your honor. Read it aloud for the court to hear
Judge: Hmm. "Dear Mr. McBrew. If you want to survive the night, you will send me $100 in cash. Meet me at the One Way Train Station tonight at 10:55. Come alone... or else
Swift: $100. Not a lot of cash when you compare it to the other large amounts of money in a bank
Marcus: Well, it would appear that the defendant wanted to buy something known as the Shard of the Flame of Hearts
Swift: Shard of the Flame of Hearts *I remember that jewel... Very well*
Marcus: It was once just one jewel and was worth more than a hundred dollars. But after... *Ahem* a stupid bimbo smashed it, it lost much value and can easily be purchased at any auction
Lilly: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BIMBO!!!
Swift: Lilly, please. Try to keep from climbing over the desk
Marcus: I suggest you keep your wild animal you call a human being tamed, Swift
Lilly: Why you- Let me at him
Swift: Lilly, please. Control yourself
Marcus: anyway, the defendant wanted to buy one of the shards as a gift for his lover, Jessica Jess. Those shards may be less valuable, but they make one hell of a necklace. So, thats why he bribed the victim. To get enough money to purchase this item
Judge: Ah, love. How it makes us do crazy- Even illegal- things
Marcus: Yes your honor. Finally, something that came out of your mouth that doesn't make me want to hit you
Judge: Well, thats good to hear. Anyway, Mr. Marshall, please continue with you-
Marcus: OBJECTION! I think we've heard enough out of him. I say we wait for the other victim, Mr. Jepins, to heal enough and call him to the stand tomorrow
Judge: What? It's a little early to end the trial now
Marcus: There are no other witnesses right now. Mr. Jepins is still unconscious and Ms. Jess refuses to testify against Lou
Judge: Hmm... Very well. I will allow it. The trial will continue tomorrow. I would like the defense and the prosecution to gather as much evidence as possible. until then, court is dismissed
