Swift: *Okay, Swift. toi can do this. Its just like the old days, only your on the opposite side
Lilly: Oh... Hey... toi must be my defense attorney
Swift: Oh, yeah. I'm Swift. rapide, swift Justice
Lilly: ...Pleased to meet you... My name is Lilly Benign
Swift: *Boy, she sure seems gloomy* Don't worry, Ms. Benign. I'll prove your innocents ou my names not Swift
Lilly: ...Then I suppose it isn't
Swift: *Sheesh. Talk about a buzz kill*
Swift: *My name is rapide, swift Justice. I am a rookie defense attorney. This is only my first case as a defense attorney. Of course, I was once a prosecutor. But after a certain case, I wanted to become a defense attorney and find the guy who was really the killer, but I let slip away. I'll find him someday, but for now, I need to help Ms. Benign... No matter what.
Courtroom No. 4
Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Lilly Benign
Swift: The defense is ready your honor *Never thought I'd say that*
Winston: The prosecution is ready your honor
Judge: So, if the prosecution would state there opening opinion
Winston: Gladly your honor. Watch closely, rookie. I'm going to montrer toi how a lawyer really handles a case
Swift: *What was that all about*
Winston: Well, your honor, it would seem that on the night of the murder, the victim, Eddie Dawn, was found par his current lover at the time, the defendant, that he was cheating on her with another woman
Judge: Quite an awful man to have in a relationship
Winston: Yes, well, the defendant then went into a blind rage and killed the victim while he was in his car
Judge: Hmm, so it would seem that the defendant had a perfect motive to kill the victim... Hmm... Yes... I can see that it is quite clear what happened. I believe I am ready to hand down my verdict
Swift: WHAT! But your honor, there must be plus explaining then that
Judge: Well, I really don't see much to talk about
Swift: But, there was something odd. How was the victim murdered? That wasn't explained
Judge: Ah, your quite right, Mr. Justice
Winston: OBJECTION! Ha, I knew you'd come up with that lame excuse sooner ou later, young lawyer
Swift: *Jeez. Is that what I used to sound like when I was a prosecutor*
Winston: We have here, the exact weapon the defendant used to murder the victim... Here it is your honor
Judge: That just looks like some old rope
Winston: Exactly, your honor. As it seems, the victim was strangled to death with this rope. And I can prove it as well. It would appear that there were fingerprints all over the rope. Fingerprints that belonged to none other than the defendant
Swift: WHAT!!! B-BUT HOW!!!
Judge: Well, I can gladly say that I am now ready to hand down my verdict
Swift: Your honor, wait. There must be something were leaving out
Judge: And what would that be, Mr. Justice
Swift: Why did the defendant want to follow the victim. How did she know about all this
Judge: Your quite right, Mr. Justice. I do believe we should let someone explain this
Winston: Ha. Very well then. Its been a while since I've broken a new defense attorney
Swift: *I swear, I am going to throttle him if I don't stay calm*
Winston: I believe the detective for this case is present. I would like him to tell us about the crime
Judge: Very well. So called detective. Please make your wat to the stand
Swift: *Well, here we go*
Winston: Sir. Please state your name and occupation
Marshall: Officer John Marshall, sir. Though everyone calls me Officer Marshall. I am the detective for this case
Judge: So, could toi tell us what toi saw on the night of the murder
Marshall: Umm... no
Judge: W-WHAT! But why
Marshall: Because I didn't see the murder occur. I am only the detective for this case
Winston: Please, your honor. This man is a very tenacious detective. He'll do whatever it takes to find a criminal. I can assure you, he is very reliable
Judge: ...Well I suppose we could ask him a few questions
Marshall: Yeah, good. Ask away. I'm ready
Swift: *This guy looks very enthusiastic*
Judge: Mr. Marshall, please tell us how toi found out the victim was murdered
Marshall: Alright. I was in the office finishing up some work when I got a call. It was from a scared woman. She told me that someone was murdered and I and the other officers rushed to the scene. We were too late to save the guy, but we were able to catch the defendant over there for questioning
Judge: Hmm, so it would appear that there was a witness to the crime
Winston: Yes your honor. But we'll bring them in later
Judge: Very well. Alright, Mr. Justice. toi may begin your cross-examination
Swift: Huh. C-cross-examination *Okay, Swift. Just calm down. Just try to remember what toi studied for. Lets see. If I remember correctly, cross-examining is where I look through the witnesses testimony and try to find something that is not the same as the evidence in the Court Record and I just need to present that evidence to prove the witness is wrong ou lying. Okay, I think I got this*
Marshall: I was in my office finishing up some work when I got a call
Swift: HOLD IT! What were toi working on, exactly
Marshall: ...Detective stuff. I thought that would be obvious
Swift: Mr. Marshall, I'm going to need plus than-
Winston: OBJECTION! What the detective did on the night of the murder has nothing to do with the case at hand. Stop staling and déplacer it along, Swift
Judge: *glare*
Swift: Ahh *I don't like the way the Judge is staring at me*
Marshall: The call was from a scared woman
Swift: HOLD IT! Did toi find out who the woman was
Marshall: Yes, her name was Mariah Malroie. She was so scared when we got there
Swift: Did toi at all question her as to what happened
Marshall: ... Well... I was about to until the other officers caught the defendant. I really didn't think it was necessary
Swift: *Sigh. Now I know how the other defense attorneys felt*
Marshall: She told me that someone was murdered and I and the other officers rushed to the scene
Swift: HOLD IT! There were other police
Marshall: Of course. Crime never sleeps, so why should justice sleep
Judge: Quiet true
Winston: If we may continue please
Marshall: We were too late to save the guy, but we were able to catch the defendant over there for questioning
Swift: HOLD IT! So toi were able to catch the defendant?
Marshall: Didn't I just say that
Swift: I'm just wondering. How did toi find the accused
Marshall: Huh... Oh, right. Well, other than the rope we found, there was also tire tracks from a stolen car
Judge: What. A stolen car
Marshall: Yeah, the accused must have broken into the car and drove off. But she left one mistake. She accidently left skid marks on the road. We took a picture of it to take as evidence
Judge: So, the accused is also a car thief. Mr. Marshall, I would like for toi to add this new information to your testimony
Marshall: Sure. The accused seemed to had stolen a car and drove off back to her home
Swift: OBJECTION! toi honor, something about what he a dit just now doesn't seem right
Judge: And what would that be, Mr. Justice
Swift: He a dit that the accused drove home. Take another look at this photo. As toi can see, the skid marks enter into an alleyway. She couldn't have driven accueil if she was parked in the alley
Marshall: Ah
Swift: Now, Mr. Marshall. Is that alley a dead end
Marshall: Umm.. Uhh... Well... Y-yes it is
Swift: So that just raises one question. If my client had killed the victim, why would she stay near the crime scene
Winston: OBJECTION! Ha, toi can't possibly be this dim, rookie
Swift: What do toi mean
Winston: I mean that their were police cars on there way to the crime scene already. If she were to leave, she would be caught. Not that did a lot of good, because thanks to the witness, we were able to find her at her home.
Judge: Why, this just makes the defense statement null and void
Swift: N-No. I don't believe this
Judge: But, what I don't understand is what happened during the time of the murder
Winston: Well, I have an idea. I say we bring in Lilly Benign
Judge: The defendant. Well... does the defense have any objections
Swift: *If I'm going to get out of the mess I'm in, I'll need all the evidence I can get* No, your honor.
Judge: Very well. Mr. Marshall, toi may go now
Marshall: Got it. Always glad to help the law
Swift: *Now, I just need to be sure to find something wrong with the testimony. If I can compare it to the evidence, I may have a chance*
Winston: Defendant. Please state your name and occupation
Lilly: ...My name is Lilly Benign... And I'm an Ivy université student
Judge: So, toi were a dit to have been near the victim on the night of the murder
Lilly: ...I don't see what telling toi the truth would do...
Swift: *Poor Ms. Benign. I sure hope there's something this evidence I have can help
Judge: Now, Ms. Benign. Could toi tell us what happened on the night of the murder
Lilly: ...Very well. I was following Eddie to where he was going. He seemed to leave a lot and I was getting suspicious. I then saw him talking to another woman, and they were drinking red wine. I knew that he was cheating on me then and I just couldn't control myself
Judge: So your admitting that toi did kill him
Lilly: I know toi won't believe me... So yes, I did kill him
Winston: Well, I think this case is pretty open and shut
Swift: HOLD IT! I still need to preform my cross-examination. I don't think this is over just yet
Winston: W-what in the... Why are toi making that smug grin
Judge: Well, Mr. Justice. Please, do go on with your cross-examination
Lilly: I was following Eddie to where he was going
Swift: HOLD IT! how long would toi say toi were following him
Lilly: About twenty minutes ou so
Swift: Did he happen to see you
Lilly: No. I took the opposite roads so he wouldn't suspect me
Swift: *Well, I guess I won't be getting anything here*
Lilly: He seemed to leave a lot and I was getting suspicious
Swift: HOLD IT! how many times did he leave
Lilly: About once everyday for two weeks. I was wondering where he was going, so I decided to follow him
Swift: *Well, I guess that's understandable*
Lilly: I then saw him talking to another woman, and they were drinking red wine
Swift: HOLD IT! how were toi able to see them
Winston: Incase toi haven't been told, the witness has a large window on the side of her house. The defendant had many chances to see the witness and victim
Swift: *Well, that seems legit. But, should I try my luck and ask for plus questions...* Ms. Benign. Did toi notice anything strange about how they were talking
Lilly: No, just that they were talking and drinking and... Wait a minute. Now that toi mention it...
Swift: Yes, what is it
Lilly: I noticed that neither one looked too happy. In fact, they looked like they were about to yell at each other. Also, I noticed that the girl seemed to have her hand over Eddie's wine glass the whole time. But I don't know why
Judge: Well, I am starting to think that this girl has a part in this trial as well
Swift: Agreed
Judge: Mr. Payne. Would toi mind finding this young woman and bring her back
Winston: Very well, your honor
Judge: The court will take a fifteen minute recess.
Court Lobby
Swift: Dear lord, that was too close
Lilly: Don't worry. It could have been worse
Swift: Worse?! I don't have much evidence and were bringing in a witness who saw toi commit the crime. If I can't get any actual proof, were going to lose this case
Lilly: Don't worry. I know toi can do it
Swift: !! W-what
Lilly: Here, I have this
Swift: What's this? A letter... I would like to see toi tonight. I only want toi to help me bring back the good old days. Please don't refuse. Come to my house at 10:00 on April 1st. Come alone. Signed... MARIAH
Lilly: Yeah, I was a little surprised too
Swift: Why didn't toi montrer me this before?!
Lilly: Because I Lost all hope and was ready to except my fate. But now, I know you'll win
Swift: ! *Did she just... Smile*
Bailiff: Court is about to continue. may the defense please make there way to the court room
Swift: Well, here we go *I just hope I can win this... For her sake*
