Crown Rests It Case

Lunch break and I have to admit that I could get use to this instead of the assembly line mess i'm usually eating. Today it southern fired chicken, coleslaw and Coke. Five pieces, three serving spoons of slaw and three of four cokes later I'm ready to tell more

Sitting in a diner across from the courthouse,eating a grilled cheese with fries, CP24 playing on the flat screen TV behind the counter “And in a shocking development this morning the defendant Brim Dermott was blatantly caught by Judge Dillion trying to intimidate the witness on the stand one Maria Crompton. Judge Dillion order the defendant removed then called recess. Reporting from the courthouse in Brampton, Andrea Classto CP24 sending it back to you on the newsdesk Pooja. Then i lose interest in both the news and my meal

We reconvene with Brian standing in front of the judge being admonished for his action “If I ever see such a cowardly act like that again in my court I’ll personally throw you into the holding cell myself,do I make myself clear mr. Dermott.” Without waiting for a reply “Now you will apologize to this court or be held in contempt your choice!”

“Sorry your honor, I am ashamed of my actions and swear they will not be repeated!” Never taking his eyes off the judge’s “I understand my actions may have caused undue harm to the witness and wholeheartedly apologize to her and the court!” I never told him to be humble so unless his father did,i would almost swear he meant everything he said.

The court accepted his apology,let him resume his position in the prisoner’s box and allows me to cross examine Miss Crompton once she was reminded she was still under oath. Flipping through my paper i stand and get right to my plan of attack.

“Miss Crompton can you tell the court why you were suspended from school in April of 2015?”

“Objection your honor,the witness’s pass isn’t on trial here,it’s an irrelevant attempt by defense to defame the character of the witness.”

”Your honor if the witness is made to answer the relevance will be made clear to the court in her own voice!” I tell him.

”I’ll allow the question with the right to reject if it doesn’t satisfy the issue of relevance. The witness will answer the question pease!”

“I was suspended for being caught in the boys bathroom at school” she replies

“And?” i prompt

“Just that being found in the boys bathroom!”

“Miss Crompton, I have the actual report attached to your school record that will be given to the court in evidence, so your action will be made known!” turning to look at the jury “So why don’t you just save the time of it being read out and tell the court why?

“I was suspended for being in the boys washingroom giving a by a handjob!” She starts to cry, the bailiff handing her a tissue to dry her eyes. Mr. Hewlitt shaking his head as i yet again punch a major hole through his witness’s credibility. I continue “One final question Miss Crompton, who was the boy in question?”

“Brian”

“I sorry can you speak up ,who was the boy in question?”

“Brian, it was Brain!”

Turning to Judge Dillion, “Defense is done with this witness your honor!”

“Crown is done presenting its case your honor at this time but requests the right to call additional witness if new evidence comes forth!”
