Swift: Two entry ways. Thats just perfect
Lilly: But, haven't Ты noticed that jessica has not come into court
Swift: Marcus already сказал(-а) she refuses to testify against Lou
Lilly: But, Swift. I feel like she isn't telling me everything. I can't blame her, not wanting to testify in front of Lou
Swift: Well, if Ты think so. I guess we could get her onto the stand. But first, we'll have to cross-examine Leroy first. Once he's done, then we'll Переместить on to Jessica *I hope we can*

Courtroom No. 3
11: 00 a.m. June 16th

Judge: Court will now reconvene
Swift: The defense is ready, your honor
Marcus: The prosecution is ready and waiting
Judge: Very well, then. Mr. Mays, I do believe Ты were able to get the victim of the case here
Marcus: Yes. I suggest Ты all try to speak to him calmly. He is a little jumpy after the incident... That means you, defense. I suggest Ты watch yourself
Swift: What did I do to get on his bad side
Lilly: Maybe he doesn't like your hair
Swift: *If I had a nickel for every time Lilly сказал(-а) that*
Marcus: Witness, please state your name and occupation
Leroy: M-my name i-i-is Leroy J-J-J-Jepins. I-I-I work as a b-b-banker for the McBrew Family B-Bank
Marcus: Well, witness. Could Ты tell us what Ты saw on the night of the murder
Leroy: S-S-Sure. Me and McBrew were w-wating for a train to come by. That's wen this m-m-m-m-m-man came by and attacked us. I didn't even have a chance to e-e-escape. I tried to get to the phone, b-b-but I was to hurt to only crawl a f-few inches
Judge: Well, that sounds like a traumatizing experience. I can remember a time like that when-
*Whack*
Judge: OUCH!
Marcus: Forgot about my cane for a moment, didn't you
Judge: Kinda hard when there a red marks all over my body
*Whack*
Judge: OW HOW HOW!!!
Marcus: Enough dilly-dally. Переместить on with the cross-examination, defense
Judge: That's my line, Mr. Mays. Begin Ты cross-examination, Mr. Justice
Swift: *This is gonna be a looong day*
Lilly: Something seems strange
Swift: Huh
Lilly: His testimony looks like its riddled with holes
Swift: *You can say that again. Even Lou could notice that*
Leroy: Me and McBrew were w-waiting for a train to come by
Swift: OBJECTION!
Judge: An objection already?
Swift: Ты honor, lets hear that again
Leroy. I just сказал(-а) w-w-we were waiting for a train
Swift: And that's the problem. Ты say Ты were waiting for a train, but what Ты and Mr. McBrew were really there for was... This
Judge: That looks like the letter presented yesterday
Swift: Exactly. If Ты read it, you'll notice that Mr. McBrew went there not to take train, but to answer to this blackmail letter
Leroy: What
Judge: Why yes, your right. I'm sure that the witness would have known about-
*Whack*
Judge: OWEY!!!
Marcus: Everyone, stop talking and listen. The witness had no idea Mr. McBrew was being blackmailed. McBrew brought him to see if the blackmailer wasn't kidding. Turns out he wasn't
Leroy: Thats right
Swift: *OH COME ON!!!*
Judge: Well, witness, I'm surprised. I thought you'd be lying throughout the entire trial. I had many events where-
*Whack*
Judge:OW!
Marcus: Enough with your senseless jibber-jabber. Now, I want the witness to testify about one certain thing. What was the killer exactly
Leroy: Ты g-g-g-got it. Well, we saw this g-g-guy walking toward us. He was wearing a ski mask and was coming at us q-q-quick. Before I knew it, I-I was on the ground, injured, and McBrew was d-d-d-d-dead
Judge: So, the killer was wearing a ski mask, huh. A little cliched, don't Ты think
*Whack*
Judge:OUCH!!!
Marcus: Cliched или not, he was wearing a mask. It just proves that it could have been the defendant
Judge: Well, Mr. Justice, Ты may begin Ты cross-examination
Leroy: We saw this g-g-guy walking toward us
Swift: HOLD IT! How could Ты tell it was a guy
Leroy: Well, he looked very muscular, and he didn't at all have any of the traits of a woman. I don't think a woman would kill so violently
Swift: *Thats what Ты think. Ты weren't at my first trial*
Leroy: He was wearing a ski mask and was coming at us q-q-quick
Swift: OBJECTION!!! I'm afraid your wrong, Mr. Jepins
Leroy: W-w-what. H-how?
Swift: Ты say the killer was wearing a ski mask. However, I believe this was what he was wearing
Judge: Is that... a monkey mask
Marcus: ...Okay, Ты ARE begging for cane marks all over your body. I will gladly do so
Swift: No no no. This was found near the local park. And if Ты know, it is about two минуты away from the train station. Which, I'll have Ты know, is exactly how long it was when Mr. Romanse was gone. And this mask here was disposed of in the garbage so no one would find it
Judge: Why, thats true
Marcus: Truly stupid. That just proves that Mr. Romanse is the killer
Swift: We don't know for sure. But one thing is for sure. It is about the witness here, Mr. Jepins
Leroy: W-W-What!
Judge: What is it Mr. Justice, my hands are shaking with anticipation
Swift: It's pretty obvious what Mr. Jepins is and has been doing since he first got to the witness stand... HE'S BEEN LYING TO THE WHOLE COURT!!!
Leroy: AHH!!!
Marcus: What? How?
Swift: Well, first he mentioned that he had no idea about the blackmail, but that is understandable. But the testimony about the mask, its a little fishy. How can Ты mix up a ski mask and a monkey mask. And let me remind you, that it was well lit in the train station on the night of the murder. How could anyone fail to tell the difference in that kind of light
Leroy: I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. I may have made a mistake, but come on. I was stabbed in the stomach. What еще can I do, she was going to kill me. I can't be expected to remember such things
Swift: ...
Marcus: ...
Judge: ...
Lilly: ...
Leroy: What. What's wrong
Swift: Ты just mentioned that the killer was a 'she'
Leroy: !!! *gulp*
Judge: Well... What do Ты have to say for yourself
Leroy: ........... OKAY, YES. I'VE BEEN LYING THE WHOLE TIME!!! But if Ты were threatened, you'd lie, too
Swift: Threatened?
Leroy: Yes. The killer noticed I was still alive, and she сказал(-а) that if I tell anyone, she would kill me. But, now its not going to do a whole lot of good.
Judge: I can understand why Ты would. However, lying under oath is a crime in itself. I will still have to punish you
Leroy: Ты mean... like jail
Marcus: For a short time, yes
Leroy: YES! SEND ME THERE! KEEP ME безопасно, сейф FROM THAT PSYCHOTIC KILLER, PLEASE!!!.............
Judge: Well, now we know that the killer is a woman
Marcus: OBJECTION! How can we be so sure
Judge: What do Ты mean
Marcus: Incase Ты forgot, the victim was stabbed by the killer before he was threatened. He could have been in some form of shock and might have heard the voice wrong. It still could have been the defendant
Judge: Hmm... That seems logical
Swift: WHAT? *After all I did, is the real killer going to get away*
Judge: Well, even with all of this evidence, I still can't change my opinion on the defendant.
Lilly: Oh no. The judge is going to deliver a guilty verdict. Come on, Swift. Ты got to do something
Swift: I can't. There isn't anyone left who can testify
Lilly: !
Judge: I am ready to hand down my verdict. I find the defendant, Lou Romanse...
Lilly: OBJECTION!!! Wait. There is another witness
Judge: What. There is
Marcus: Oh, young, cheery, stupid, little girl. Please, stay seated. Ты are not a defense attorney, so I suggest Ты keep your trap shut
Lilly: Ты honor. There is another witness
Marcus: I сказал(-а) be seated. Your honor, the verdict, please
Lilly: Ты honor, we need to hear all testimony from every witness
Marcus: The verdict, Ты honor. Now
Lilly: Please, your honor. That one witnesses testimony could be just what we need to turn this case around
Judge: ... Well... I suppose we could hear from this witness. But, if she is not as reliable as Ты say she is, defense. I will hand down my verdict with no delay
Lilly: Oh, thank Ты so much, your honor
Judge: Now, just who may this reliable witness be
Lilly: Well, it would be the defendants current lover, Jessica Jess
Judge: Hmm... Yes, I do recall her being at the train station when the murder occurred. Very well. Mr. Mays. Please go and get this witness for us
Marcus: ............ Very well, your honor
Judge: Until then, court will take a twenty минута recess

Swift: Good lord. I never thought Ты could be this helpful, Lilly
Lilly: Wow, thats the nicest thing I've ever heard Ты say
Swift: Ah he he he... sorry if I'm not as nice. But still, good work. Now maybe, we can get somewhere and prove Lou is innocent
Lou: Oh, good job guys. Especially you, Lilly
Swift: Hey, I'm your defense attorney
Lou: Yeah, well Ты would have Остаться в живых if Lilly hadn't spoken up
Swift: *sigh* that is true
Lou: Were going to win this yet, guys. And, the best part, Jessie is going to testify. I know she'll save me
Swift: *I sure hope those fantasies of his are true*
